Fair enough. Melbourne, Australia.

I have talked to him. He does like bikes. It would suit him pretty well in fact.

I intend on buying a friend of mine a transportation device. He really needs a way of getting round besides public transport but lacks both a way of getting his licence and the money needed to buy a...

Thanks Tut. I will take a look.

Trust... as I was writing this question that was in the back of my mind. Something, sadly, I'm not all that good at:/ I guess my main problem is that I know that from birth we only have about 80...

Your grandfather was a wise man :) I've been thinking a lot about what the fundamental needs are in my life -beside those which basically sustain you. I pretty much came to the same conclusion as...

A question I have long pondered and only end up coming to the next question as to what the purpose of life is? Is this simply a question of nature vs nurture, that it is simply the randomness of our...

God obviously valued her heart as he chose her out of anyone to bear his son but that does not make her supernatural in any way. She died like anyone else. I think you have sadly missed the point if...

I disagree. Yes Jesus respected his mother as we should respect our parents but he performed the miracle on his own accord. "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet...

Kiroki,
That's terrible! Suing him and his parents won't solve the problem though. But perhaps you need to get someone higher in to help though. Have you reported the situation to the police?
...

Hey,
Sounds good - although it is hard to say for sure given it is only the lyrics. As a suggestion - why don't you try to incorporate the changing of seasons... adds another dimension that would...

I realise that but H. deemed that a child only gets his sense of wrong and right from his parents and society. I was simply pointing out that this is not the case.Besides a person can chose to reject...

Yes morality is "pretty universal" but not entirely. Check out Afghanistan for one example but there are plenty of others. So morals are still subjective and therefore still lack credibility. The...

Do you think it is possible, in fact, to have a fully informed observer besides God? If you cannot have an ideal observer how is anyone "qualified" if you like to make the judgement as to what is...

Tut, the problem with the meta ethical theory is that though it entirly pragmatic - more widerly though, not just personally - it is still subjective. What would happen if 2 "fully informed"...

Hey,
This is irrelevant to our discussion. But before I continue it would be helpful to know a little more about the sight - as I am new to itand haven't figured out all the workings as of yet....

All right harmonybox... let me pose you this then - why are there children(very young ones at times) who oppose their parents beliefs and that perhaps of their society and peers? We see many examples...

That was thoughtful =)

Hey Hopeyoufeelbetter,
Your response was well thought out and logical. It was interesting that you made the point that morals must be binding. I was just discussing that very point with a friend of...

Hmm... Tut that's really interesting but what conditions would it require? But, there is always the issue that "certain conditions" are not always there.

Hey Tut,
"in some instances"... but not in all. Therefore morals are still not necessarily universal so how do they have any credibility? I know I am deviating from the original question but it was...

Hey Excon,
"Hello again, P:

I don't think you added correctly. Even if you did, there was ONE person here who told you that morals aren't subjective, and that MOST societies adopt similar ones....

Hey Excon,
"Lemme ask you this. Is your religion the only thing standing in the way from you acting like an animal?"
In answer to your question... by no means. If I were an atheist then I would...

Ok... the "day is hot" part was not referring to morals but simply to the different forms of truth.I simply wanted to clarify that before asserting it into a discussion on morals.
I liked your...

I agree with the latter statement. But.. in that case do morals have credibility as they are subjective to culture and time?

Hey Tut,
Thanks for the reply. It sounds as though you have studied this area somwhat. On the whole naturalist, non-naturalist and emotivism - I haven't looked into them in great depth in the past...

Hmm... interesting responses. Martinizing2 -you're commment on absolute truth. You state that truth is black or white. I beg to differ. In this discussion I believe that is it important to bear in...

Lol excon! Just ignore stuff like "cotton candy" issues that disturb you. Why bother making a fuss about it? You make me laugh. You're so feisty in all you're comments. Ok so it's kind of gross but...

Interesting idea. I know I am going to cop it from a number of people but that's all right. I am interested to hear people's thoughts. To elaborate a bit... without going into post modernism too...
