calm down guys, this thread is supposed to be a break from the usual bickering. :D actually Absinthe, i might have touched on something in a response to someone else. to explore that further, one could argue that since "good" and "evil' generally have the same meaning universally, that in...

that is not quite true, just because there are different idieas on what moral absolutes are does not mean that no moral absolutes exist. another reason is if you really think about it "good" and "bad"(or evil) are universal in meaning and only differ in application of the definition. back to...

i have met some like that. they get mad when you ask them why they keep arguing with themselves. ;) if you think about it, objective truth is not limited to perception, and the position actually has physical evidence to verify it. a color blind man never knowing color does not stop the...

i am sorry i have been away, getting ready for a move to Fort Worth from Fort Hood has been tkaing up my...time.(again no pun intended...) but i do have...time...for a quick reply. ;) i think we can be sure truth can be objective from the physical evidence, i myself am an example. you did not...

i think you nailed it in the last sentence....perception(s) which i would agree are very relative. however does our perception affect time itself? or are our perceptions an effect of time? i tend to think the latter. truth in the first case would be a different thing than truth in the...

now that is what i call one serious pissed off rant. LOL lots of factual errors though, especially regarding the founding fathers. george washington ,thomas jefferson, james madison, george mason..etc. to name a few, all southern.

why not? particularly if he/she were the sociopathic sort that believed the only rules that apply to them are the ones they make up for themselves. just when it gets interesting my lunch is over. :(

ahh, moral absolutes. think i will play devil's advocate for fun. :) if a person of the darwinian sort were to argue that there is nothing really wrong with rape since it is merely another way the strong overcome the weak and that objections to this practice were cultural rather than moral...

actually the theory of relativity is based on absolutes if you really study it.

that is quite the lengthy post there, however you are simply repeating yourself. i do not feel i am incorect however since after reviewing many of your posts your MO seems to be to bitch about whatever the US does and personally attack anyone disagreeing with you. or to put it in terms you...

that is interesting, could you elucidate? i really am going to bed this time.(no pun intended BTW) ;)

that is the problem with that position, the idea that "there are no absolutes." is presented as an absolute and is self contradictory. time for bed, gnight :D

yes they did, and so did i at first before i even posted it, but did they turn around the next day and lose that skepticism regarding an unconfirmed report by al jazeera that was obviously sensationalism(at best) as true without question? most did not. in fact a couple went so far as to...

actually i have not generalized at all, the "BLAME AMERICA™" group behaves exactly as described...that is a rather specific and realistic observation. who is the one "generalizing"? you often misquote me by presenting a paraphrase rather than what i say and often are far amiss in the...

i would agree with that, in that "reality" seems to be objective since inanimate objects have no opinions.

perhaps we can have a discussion that promotes thought rather than a partisan political battle. let's discuss the idea presented in my sig is truth absolute? or relative? i am of the position that truth is absolute and what many try to define as "relative truth" is actually opinion...

i notice there is no real proof though everything "suggests" napalm was used, but looking at it it looks more like a fuel air bomb(which is nothing like napalm) FAE's actually suffocate most people before they are burned(although the aftermath is rather gruesome). those within close proximity to...

yes, for the same reason the police use it, crowd control.

i read the accounts by the eyewitnesses, it seems to me that they wwere describing white phosphorous grenades i had experience with those when i was a combat engineer in the army.

well if rational thinking for oneself and taking things with a critical eye is "ignorance" i think the world needs more of it, as opposed to some who simply attack others that disagree with them. what grounds? that appears to be the only thing you talk about. actually i did, the article...
