Just the opposite, we have government because everyone wants to use THEIR definition of "heap" in order to determine what it is. Emergent order and anarchy do not do this, do-gooder, power hungry, ego trips do.

Quote
The sorites paradox  is a paradox that arises from vague predicates. A typical formulation involves a heap of sand, from which grains are individually removed. Under the assumption that removing a single grain does not turn a heap into a non-heap, the paradox is to consider what happens when the process is repeated enough times: is a single remaining grain still a heap? (Or are even no grains at all a heap?) If not, when did it change from a heap to a non-heap?

Be OK without an answer and deal with your community in the way you need to deal with it. People in general aren't evil, assholes who try to control the "self-interest" of others are.

Quote from: eglove on December 09, 2015, 07:07 PM NHFTThe fact that we disagree about what's right and wrong in different situations only proves the point that there is no universal ethic.

No, that's not how a proof works.  If folks disagree, it can also be because some of them are just wrong.

Quote from: eglove on December 09, 2015, 07:07 PM NHFTThe more MaineShark struggles with his dyslexia, the more he digs into the nitpicking, the more wrong he his. Anybody who acts like they have all the answers has some serious ego issues to deal with.

You seem to be doing a lot of looking into mirrors, and not much actual reasoning.  You might want to work on that.

Here, I'll give you a reasoning exercise.  Please attempt to engage your brain for this, okay?

A mad scientist builds a doomsday device which will wipe out all of humanity if activated.  He is diagnosed with a terminal illness and, because he is both very angry over this and also very petty, decides that if he is to die, no one else will be allowed to survive him.  So, when he is sure that his life is approaching the end, he activates his device and wipes out the entire human race, for no purpose other than to satisfy his petty desire that no one enjoy a future which he has been denied.

You've stated that there are no universally-wrong actions, and that it all depends upon context.  Please describe the context which makes wiping out the entirety of humanity for petty revenge against random chance into a righteous (or, at least, not wrongful) action.

You spend a lot of time in front of that mirror, don't you?

You're the one who's here politicking for your Statist position.  The fact that others are refusing to accept it does not place them in your category of behavior.

You've made claim after claim, which have all been shot down.  But you keep insisting that your premise is correct.  You've lied about what others actually said, and expect to be taken seriously.  And, when presented with a simple opportunity to apply your premise to an example, you just attempt to deflect that with nonsense.  Seems like you should be looking for a position as Trump's campaign manager, eh?

Well,my daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me Sue

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk
It seems I had to fight my whole life through
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean
My fist got hard and my wits got keen
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
At an old saloon on a street of mud
There at a table, dealing stud
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
He was big and bent and gray and old
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said, "My name is Sue, how do you do
Now you're gonna die"

(yeah, that's what I told him)

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile

And he said, "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong"

He said, "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do
But ya ought to thank me, before I die
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
'Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you Sue"

Well what could I do? What could I do?
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my paw, and he called me his son
And I came away with a different point of view
And I think about him, now and then
Every time I try and every time I win
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him..
Bill or George! Any-damn-thing but Sue!

Alright, thank you very much

I don't get the song though. If the only point is that fighting sucks you're missing the point entirely and ignoring the issue. If it's just a good song you could have at least provided a link.

I notice that you can't seem to respond to any of the criticisms of your position.

Yup, just like Trump.  Or Cantwell, for that matter - your behavior here has been precisely in line with what I've seen of his behavior... make a ridiculous assertion, then defend it to the death and attack anyone who doubts it.  I hear you two don't get along?  Just too similar, eh?

Sir, I'm gonna' need you to reread, quote, and summarize my position before we continue. Your dyslexia is acting up.  :glasses7:

You'll have to learn to live with unfulfilled needs, then.  You've completely failed to answer simple questions put to you, so you are not in a position to demand anything from anyone else.  Catch up with some real responses to the questions and comments that have been directed in you, and then we'll talk.

But you won't see me summarizing your position for you.  If you believe that your position is not being understood, then it is solely your responsibility to add clarity.

I'm not dyslexic.  Your lack of skill with English has been present from the very first time you've posted here (and previously, since I've read some of your linked articles), but I have managed to read your words, regardless.

Your bigotry against dyslexics, though, is definitely "acting up."  You apparently see them everywhere, now.

Is this where I threaten to assault the pacifist?

I'm shunning you at the very least! So take that!

Jim says the audio sucks. Now everyone wants to build a studio. I'm skeptical of doing such a show in a studio or having a limited amount of mics, still thinking on that one.
What is the current set up?

Why not a decent onmidirectional mic in the center of everyone?
