I see the concept for Schrodinger's Rapist getting a lot of flack. People, when confronted with this idea, say things like "This is stupid. Not everyone is a rapist!" ou "This is just feminist propaganda meant to instill paranoia in women and make them afraid of men."

I personally think that everyone who wants to abide par the theory has every right to do so. Let me give toi an example:

About two years il y a I was seventeen and during Halloween break I was working in my Mum's office. But there was one jour when my Mum couldn't drive me accueil and I had to get the bus. This was all fine - I was perfectly...

This is ALL made up but conversation is possable and in some cases has happened*


A woman was walking down the rue when she saw a man lire the bible.


Woman:Why are toi lire that?

Man:*looks up* Because I'm Christian

Woman:Why are toi Christian?

Man:*shrugs* Because God is the creator of all things.

Woman:*smirks* Oh really? Are toi sure about that?

Man:*nods*

Woman:*sits suivant to him* What about bananas? They are made par people.

Man:They are?

Woman:*nods* And our words, are the words we speak to communicate to one another made par him?

Man:No, but when I ment created all things I ment...

On July 11th, renard News' Kelly File featured a focus group to talk about the Dallas Shootings, Protests, Black Lives Matter, Obama, Race and more. This was in direct response to increasing tensions between the police and specifically the Black US population. If toi know anything about me, toi probably know how important I believe it is that people keep talking in a constructive manner in order to come to real solutions. This is why I do not like hypocrisy when it comes to tolerance. I just happen to believe in beating feu with water, not with plus feu as I believe it only fuels it and makes...

We have a lot of problems in our world. Some issues are things that would be prevalent no matter what. But I firmly believe that the main cause of the majority of problems in our world is human closed mindedness. Think of how many issues we could avoid if we could just open our minds to other ideas, and think how much plus advanced we could be. Here are a few examples of issues that could be avoided if we could open our minds to other ideas.

Racism
There are many people who hate a group of people just because their skin is a different colour than their own. But really, if toi think about it,...

This article details the arguments supporting the position that "mechanical pencils are better than wooden pencils" in the link, in order to ensure that arguments are not repeated and also for the audience to keep track of the arguments and their counters. This article was last updated on 8 April 2008.

The arguments come in two forms: arguments for the superiority of mechanical pencils, and arguments for the inferiority of wooden pencils.

Mechanical Pencil Superiority

Argument: Less time, effort and equipment to keep mechanical pencils sharpened.

Argument: Mechanical pencils come with a clip to...

1.I'd really rather toi didn't act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou cul, ass when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don't believe in me, that's okay. Really, I'm not that vain. Besides, this isn't about them so don't change the subject.

2.I'd really rather toi didn't use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, toi know, be mean to others. I don't require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.

3.I'd really rather toi didn't judge people for the way they look, ou how they dress, ou the way they talk, or, well, just play nice, Okay?...

I ask this question because I was rereading Plato's Euthyphro today and was reminded of the homosexual argument. For those of toi unfamiliar with the dialogue, let me summarize here. For the full dialogue, please link.

In the dialogue, Socrates points out plenty of flaws in Euthyphro's reasoning of what piety is. I highly recommend it, especially for logicians. The argument can be summed up as this (and I'm paraphrasing).

Socrates: What is piety?
Euthyphro: Doing as I am doing (Prosecuting my father for murdering someone).
Socrates: Ah, but that's not an answer, it is an example of piety. What...
