I think Morrissey-Solo is winning the war with Morrissey's World.
It's not, necessarily. There's just a serious lack of perspective in this thread, a bunch of Class War backslappers who, despite what they might think, are in an extreme minority in this country.
It's not what all people want, most people in this country aren't ready to vote for an increase in taxation and redistribution, for example. I know that's not the only way to decrease the gap between rich and poor. But it is one way.
If you think of the kind of society where nobody is in...
You ask a dozen people what they mean when they say they want equality, you get a dozen different answers.
But if you say you want equality of earnings, I'd say that makes you a communist, pretty much.
Ok, so you're a communist or an anarchist then. Well, I think you might be waiting a while to get one of your own into office.
Very nice, very nice, very nice, but maybe in the next world.
thatcher did what needed to be done.
Else Britain would now be the poor man of Europe... doesn't even bear thinking about.
Made tough decisions and saw them through.
There may be a concentration of lefties on here but nowadays all the parties basically offer a neoliberal agenda on the...
No, I'm not aware of it! Please educate me!
I was accusing you of shouting your opinion and running off, rather than being willing to enter into a dialogue. Not just now. Repeatedly in the past as well (on this vegetarianism issue).
Here, yet again, you barged into this thread, threw a few...
Morrissey the 23rd you make no attempt to engage with any debate whatsoever. Shout out your opinions and then you're off. You either don't read previous posts, or do read them and don't understand them.
It's a public forum so it's irrelevant who you asked the question.
Do you like to think you have reason on your side? Perhaps you do? Is that why you bother trying to convince people through argument at all?
If so then there's some worth talking about the issues.
You won't answer my...
As I said before I do respect your consistent and fair arguing Worm. The only remark I would make is more of a general point of regarding the deontological vs consequentialist ethical debate. Does not saying something 'degrades your humanity' invite the question - why? Usually in life we can...
Are animals superior to vegetables because you say so, or do you wish to qualify why? Also, why does this superiority give animals more rights than other living creatures?
If you make an honest attempt to answer this question then I will reply to yours. My experience in debating these issues...
I'm not taking it too far, I'm explaining the implications of the application of your principle 'if you're not an X, you ultimately cannot have any relevant information on what it's like to be an X'.
You don't need to have faith to believe in neural systems.
Of course it's trivial to...
Well you can go down that road 'you aren't an X so you can't know what it's like for that X', but the consequence is radical scepticism.
How do we know that rocks don't feel great pain when we smash them? How do we know that carrots don't feel existential angst whilst growing in the ground...
I would say most people who see animals as inferior are superior themselves.
They most often are the ones not committing false anthropomorphisation of animals and thus have reason on their side as opposed to baseless hysterical emotion.
Hellie's post is a case in point; we're told the...
Well (I know this is going off on a slight tangent) the idea is that good looking men will get together with good looking women and have good looking kids (as, typically, children inherit some looks from their parents). Whilst not-so-good looking men will get together with not-so-good looking...
