That may well be true, but could you link me to some research that shows it. I guess ditto for this one. I suppose one could phrase this as 'did you...
well, to quibble... 1) a statement really can't be logical or not logical. It can be true or false or nonsensical or some mixture of these. But...
My emphasis. It? There is not it. The mother's body has become more complicated. It can help us to think of a liver or the nervous system as...
Fraggle: Are you serious? Let's look at his 'insult'. He besmirches photos of huge dogs. If he is incorrect about his assertion about photos...
The Swiss are now backing up the Indian research and cellphones are looking more and more to be a significant part of the dying bees. How will...
Higher? Like, further from sea level? And further, 'higher' sounds a lot like special status, in fact, that nuance pervades the use of higher in...
1) if you can, perhaps, though I doubt it 2) there are a lot of people, some present in these forums, who are quite sure they have disproved God, for...

Yeah, no one goes to scary movies, or gets addicted to nicotine or other drugs that damage them. No one gets involved with inappropriate romantic...
What an uncharitable interpretation. Take a moment as see the logical fallacy here. I am saying that a being might create its own suffering to...
I hope you see I have answered this one.
You have read a few times that you are talking only about one kind of solipsism, right? You do understand that other forms of solipsism present...
