Please sincerely think about it and its implications: <br /><br />I've decided that I'm a dog trapped in a human's body. I will get a fur transplant, get cosmetic surgery to give me pointed ears and a tail, walk on all fours, and begin to drink from the toilet. <br /><br />Am I a dog or human? Why? What makes me one or the other?<br /><br />When it went unanswered, I posted the following:<br /><br />It's the ultimate philosophical minefield, eh? The question too tough to answer? Because it forces us to face truths we don't want to.<br /><br />Strangely enough, the original poster said the discussion (250+ comments) was over. Can't imagine why.<br /><br />-Yankee TexanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-48750962446086265852015-06-05T15:24:19.138-04:002015-06-05T15:24:19.138-04:00My thought is that it really isn't so much Lef...<br />My thought is that it really isn't so much Left or Right, as it is mankind's most serious flaw: hubris. We need not review the history of this; let's simply stipulate that this has been the case since the very beginning. <br /><br />Those on the Left, of course, are flagrantly flawed in this regard... to the point of being a parody. However, as Barnhardt suggests with her axiom, "only sociopaths and psychopaths are attracted to political office". Even the best candidates... what can they really do?<br /><br />With regard to what remains (votes not so much and bullets... sure), isn't it the fall of the mother of all prostitutes, Babylon the Great? Some opine this is the fall of Christendom, but I don't think that is it. Ground zero is Wall Street. No stone will be left on top of any other by the time this is over. <br /><br />Francis, I think we are going to witness this....RichJhttp://fishpuppy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-66110050074269572172015-06-05T09:02:58.263-04:002015-06-05T09:02:58.263-04:00The loss of core meaning to the language is a a cr...The loss of core meaning to the language is a a critical supporting facet of moral relativism. Just as all 'truth' is just viewpoint, all word meaning has to be arbitrary. That's while moral relativism is so dangerous - you can't disabuse any wrong-headed liberal of their views because your view is arbitrary. So too, the words you use. All is a gooey mess in which feeling is king. Bleach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
