    News Terrorism: Weak vs Strong, Causes & Nuclear Weapons

    I don't understand this. Communism is an idea and a political system. It is an abstract concept. People kill people. Guns kill people. How can you claim that an abstract idea has killed people?

As there are some people on this thread who would not like you to bring up such a topic, would you please refrain from doing so again?

    Is Suicide a Fundamental Human Right?

    I completely disagree with you, in spite of your misrepresentation of my views. I think that it is a good idea for society to help those with mental disorders. However, unlike you, I would not propone making their actions illegal and taking them into state custody as you suggest.

    Drug Use Among Physics Majors: Trends & Implications

    Wow. What a powerfully phrased attack that is so well phrased. Everyone can see the brilliance behind your point, except perhaps for the others of us on this forum. This was a very cheap shot, completely uncalled for, unjustified, and unsupportable. Do unto others as you would have them do...

    I never said that I have any problem with Kant's argument. I quite agree that logic cannot prove the existence of god. In fact, I made this very point in my first post of this thread. What I did not buy is cogito's phraseology, wherein he claimed that Kant made a proof without including the...

    What Are the Origins and Limitations of Logic?

    Axioms are not only not required for logic, they are not appropriate. It is for this reason that logic is not appropriate to the real world. Logic is a method of establishing relationships. In order to map this to the real world, axioms are applied. The appropriateness of the logic is then...

    News Is the Middle East's Troubles Linked to Israel?

    Well, good for you. Please explain why the Jews, and the Moslems, should be expected to agree with your characterization of "the stupid category", whatever that might mean to you. BTW, what does it mean to you?

    Drug Use Among Physics Majors: Trends & Implications

    Once again I believe that you are greatly misrepresenting my position. Look at the original words: I contend that there is an extreme distance between this position, that ALL possible background information be made available in order to be entitled to broach the subject from any perspective, a...
