Originally posted by Zanick No, I would run. I can join a new monastery and move to a new country because I don't think there's anything to be gained by dying in either of them. I generally don't think country or private property is worth dying or killing for. If my life were in danger, I would have to defend myself to the best of my (admittedly limited) abilities.
There have been several times in history that Buddhist monks have found cause for violence. In some ways, this was a last resort, either because they could not escape government oppression with their faith intact. I consider this to be in service to a greater good and indicative of an abandonment of self, which is characteristic of some themes in their belief and therefore it is understandable how some could bring themselves to use lethal force. Other occasions deemed to merit killing on the part of monks have been a product of nationalism, and other occasions still saw them substituted for a normal military response.
Do infants and the severely retarded possess moral agency? They often lack the capacity for moral judgments. Or would you lump newborns and idiots in with the animals you eat?
you havent been paying attention to those buddah-ists over there that are fucking up all kinds of shit recently.
what do you call an animal that wont defend itself?

Originally posted by Zanick It's kind of a nuanced position, I admit. Referring to one example of my belief in practice, I would cite the martial training of Buddhist monks in the Zen tradition. They won't kill animals or eat them, but they are prepared to defend their lives against invaders and predators alike. You could say that my ethics would take radical nonviolence as axiomatic.
If I were to frame it in terms of the categorical imperative, I would say that to harm another being is intolerable unless it is determined to harm you and you cannot escape confrontation. I hope that clarifies things. He may have died a virgin, but Kant was a damn innovative moral theorist.
Some philosophers hold the position that we must extend the status of moral agency to animals. The deontological argument given by Tom Regan is one prominent example. His is essentially a modification of Kantian ethics, wherein he not only redirects the meaning of the phrase from requiring the capacity for moral decisionmaking to ultimately include any being, human or nonhuman, which is what he terms the subject-of-a-life; and he also provides a fairly substantial criticism of Singer's utilitarianism in the same publication. In summary, his view is that, if it lives and can be said to have an interest in living, it should be regarded as possessing inherent, unquantifiable value.
That's one view on what constitutes morality, but you should know there are dozens of others and yours isn't very popular among them. Furthermore, I don't think you have a literate understanding of ethical justification, which is why I suggest you stop replying to my posts in this thread - it's a waste of your time, and, more importantly, mine. I don't require everyone I talk with about philosophy to have a formal education in the discipline, but in your case, I don't think you've actually read a book since you were in grade school.
fuck that bullshit. some things just need to be made dead. anyone that thinks otherwise is living in a delusion.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Zanick Uh, yeah there are several. For one, it reduces cholesterol and your overall risk for heart disease. That's true of pretty much any vegetarian diet. You're a prime example of what evolution is trying to avoid.
says who.
no one, thats who.
the fucking shamans with 'phd' behind their names know exactly jack, and shit, about human physiology...especially considering the way cholesterol plays into the equation. the entirety of what considerations the shamans and witch doctors attribute to cholesterol levels is based on how much drugs they can prescribe and how many shekels its going to get them. i am completely accurate when i say that modern medical 'science' has zero clue on the human physiological interaction with cholesterol.
you want to 'prime example' me...the last time i had a bad-cholesterol test done it was in the double digits and considered 'low.' this was when i was eating at least a dozen eggs a day...sometimes up to two dozen a day.
the fact is, the biggest factor relating to a persons cholesterol is their individual physiology. anything else is secondary.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Juicebox I love how masculinity is somehow a problem to these people, but only if white people do it.
Certain other races do just as much, if not more of, what they refer to as "toxic masculinity" yet it's only a problem if white people do it.
I don't get it. The liberals can't be that damn dumb.
the first thing you need to understand with this current trend of anti-white-male hate is it has nothing to do with equality or fairness. it is wholly about denigrating and subjugating white heterosexual males.

It's genuinely hard for me to tell, I insulate myself from pop-culture.
Like that James Bond film with the invisible car - did anyone at all not cringe hard at that?
no...they all suck. every single one is a political statement and anti-white heterosexual propaganda.

Originally posted by Lanny Also this, there's kind of a culture of writing this way in academia which is where I do most my writing. I think it's not really a great way of writing, I think a lot of research papers are unnecessarily hard to read as a result, but it's kinda just the way it is.
Yes, is there a problem with that?
if thats how you write when the audience isnt a bunch of junkies, flunkies, and monkeys, its no wonder everyone makes fun of you. regardless of your vocabulary choices your syntax and communicated ideas-stream is abysmal.
like i said...eggheads intentionally use overpriced words unnecessarily in an effort to makes themselves appear smart-uhhr.

Originally posted by Issue313 I don't have time to decipher shite which was written to be hard to understand on purpose, so just explain quickly why Mizrahim and Shephardim are so dumb in comparison to Ashkenazim.
tldr / executive summary:
the author, r.brian furguson, is in need of financing to fund one or more of his anthropological adventures so developed a means to take a knee at the altar of juden-kike worship and cow to them by publishing this utter and complete bullshit hypothesizing, while repeatedly emphasizing how far reality is being stretched to accomplish this hypothesis, that der judenkind are more better at being smarter than the inferior goy.
i read the entirety of that shitpile and for how long it is and the information it is conveying, the entirety could be condensed into about six pages.

2018-03-04 at 4:04 PM UTC in Your current phone?
Originally posted by NARCassist i have a laptop that does way more, doesn't click shit that i don't want, when all i wanted to do was scroll. and has a decent sized screen which i can see detail on easily. a phone to me is just a phone and a portable temporary computer for when i'm out, but when i'm out most of the time i'm too busy to be surfing and shit. i might look up bus routes or times and shit, but i don't need a few hundred quids worth of flashy gimmick just to do that. i'll have a car soon anyway so the lap can just come with me.
poorfag
theres a buttfuckton of shit i do with my phone that would be inconvenient or impossible to do with a laptop.
- spontaneous pictures/video (obviously)
- assorted types of GPS usage and mapping functions (try carting a laptop out to BFE nowhere)
- OBDII interactions
- sex toy (try sticking a laptop into a chicks cooter see how that works out for you)
there are several other uses but they could technically be done with a laptop, except that the laptop has to be fired up if its not left always-on, which wastes battery/power/service-life. as in...im not going to go spark up a PC just to do a three-second check on what the weather is. also, a laptop is too big and bulky in comparison to a mobile phone.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
