2016-11-11 at 4:44 PM UTC in I am the most educated on topics of philosophy, religion and spiritualityWhat do you think of Quine's Two Dogmas of Empiricism?
Can we find a natural basis for the analytic/synthetic distinction? -

ah yeah drunk post, but anyways, obama could declare a state of emergency like teddy roosevelt did, and remain the president. And I meant you would send me a hundred for winning the bet if obama did stay president… because by staying the president he technically would have "won"
So are you saying you think that we bet $100 on whether or not Obama would continue to be our president into the next term? -

2016-11-10 at 8:16 PM UTC in I've been inspiredWhy would obama remain the president in that case?
And why would he send you $100? -

This is standard behavior for leftists, and there's a very clear explanation for it.
The standard behavior of conservatives is to be huge faggots and to sneak into liberal households to kill babies in the crib.
Haha, wow, this is kind fun. I guess I see why you do it all the time now. -

Lanny, have you tried reading the passages before those? It's easy to cherry pick some verses and say it represents the whole thing. They are so out of context, it's not even funny.
Like I said, I have not read the Quran cover to cover. I did read the 14 verses leading up to my first quote, I have not gained any particular context, it seems to be a description of appropriate conduct during war?There's always a reason for something that is stated in the Qur'an. You're literally doing the following:
Let's say I quote a movie, and I actually state it like this: "Okay, this next quote is from X movie "I will slowly torture you and then kill you off.""
What people like you do is this: you just focus on the quote, and claim that the quote I used is something I said that to you; taking it completely out of context, since I literally beforehand said it was a quote.
So in this analogy do you think I'm attributing passages in the Quran to you personally? Because I'm not and haven't. Are you saying the passage here is actually a quote of someone other than the author of the text and isn't intended as a directive to readers? If that's the case go ahead and show me why, because I'm not seeing it yet.But hey, can't change a bigot's mind if they refuse to listen.
I'm listening, please, explain to me the context that makes these passages something other than a directive towards violence. You'll note I never said these passages are representative of the text as a whole (again, haven't read it) but it seems trivially easy to dismiss such claims as "NOWHERE in the Quran does it command murder", realizing there is some subtlety around the meaning of murder or that it's some great text on women's rights -

Excuse me…
Someone here who has actually read the Quran and the Catholic Bible, twice. And there is NOWHERE in the Quran where it commands to rape and murder. As mmQ quoted above, such thing comes up only in the Bible, in the book of numbers, which is in fact not a Christian thing either, but a jedi.
On the other hand, the Quran strictly forbids inflicting damage onto anything or anyone, not even onto an infidel, stating that all life is sacred. Quoting it's words "…he who slayest a soul if not for food or defense is as though he has slain his brother and his father and all of Islam".
Also "what ye do onto others ye do onto God"
Also, the Quran is actually the first book to defend women's rights and equality, and it is not from Islam, but from the ancient middle Eastern tribal roots, among which are the Shiite, Hitite, and Semite (proto-hebrew) where the oppression of women come. Also from the ancient Helenic influence on the region, given it was almost entirely conquered by the Macedonians. The Quran clearly states that "you should honor your women a great honor fit Good has made them your companion and made them from your chest (rib cage in some translations) (actually referring to "your heart), that you should not wander alone and lost and you remember God when you look in their eyes and know that God is ever merciful". Also "you should treat your women like your fields fertile with bounty from thy Lord". And more that we are on this, "help the orphan girls by taking them in marriage, but if you can't give justice to the orphan girls by taking them in marriage, take for wife any women, or two, or three, but only if you can love all of them justly, if not, take only one and honor her".
You should fucking read it yourself before you start babbling bullshit on a topic that you don't even know about.
I can't say I've read the Quran cover to cover but it's pretty easy to find passages like:Quran (8:15) - "O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end."
Quran (8:57) - "If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember."
Quran (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness."
Maybe you think killing in war doesn't constitute murder but most of the civilized world does not consider unbelief sufficient criteria for jus ad bellum. -
2016-11-10 at 2:15 AM UTC in I've been inspiredRemember that time Bill Krozby said Obama or Romney was going to win the 2016 election? Remember that time Bill Krozby said hillary was undoubtedly going to win the 2016 election?

2016-11-09 at 5:59 AM UTC in The retarded thread: Fuck, §m£ÂgØL made one first editionOne upside of this is that there's this annoying manager at work, not mine but I sit across from her and get to listen to her hound people in a loud nasally whine over dumb stuff all day every day. She's said repeatedly that she's definitely moving to Canada if Trump wins. I kinda want to walk in tomorrow with a "make america great again" hat on and ask her when her flight is.

2016-11-09 at 5:38 AM UTC in The retarded thread: Fuck, §m£ÂgØL made one first editionI expect he's going to be loud and push for some dumb tax cuts with very limited success and I expect he's going to start his reelection campaign early. I expect him to be a Nixonesqe sort of morally bereft but my prefered candidate wasn't exactly a shining star of integrity. Ultimately the world will go on.

2016-11-09 at 5:19 AM UTC in Election Thread: Place your betsI'm a little surprised and I think the somewhat worse candidate was elected, I wouldn't call that the same thing as mad.
For someone who claimed to not be following the election you sure are making a lot of noise about it. -
2016-11-09 at 5:14 AM UTC in The retarded thread: Fuck, §m£ÂgØL made one first editionYou did what lol? We'll have an embarrassing publicity hound making a lot of noise and not doing much for four years. Why is this an accomplishment?
