I've been thinking about it too. It's very hard for me to stop eating meat because, obviously, it's delicious. This will not be the smartest post, I know, but this issue is the one that mostly gets under my skin. It's the one that makes me feel like a hypocrite more than anything else. Why...

I understand what you're saying, and I agree that we shouldn't think that we're smarter than other people based on our beliefs, but I just can't help loosing respect for an individual that tells me (s)he believes in a god. It's very hard for me to look believers in the eye and have a rational...

I see that you are against animal cruelty. Are you a vegetarian/vegan aswell? (No irony) Welcome BTW!

Welcome aboard Johnny!

Nice blog triumph. Even if you necessarily don't believe in conspiracy theories, you cannot claim that your government wouldn't do such a thing against its people or lie to the masses. The Gulf of Tonkin incident, for instance, showed us that it is very plausible.

I saw this a while ago and, to be honest, I kind of regret that I did. I'm sorry, but I expected there to be an actual lecture where you learn things. All I got out of it were some personal stories and a few clichés about life. Does that make me a jerk?

Seen this twice already, it's awesome.

I think I will be the first one to tell you NOT to read it. There are much better books to read. Personally, I would maybe start with Plato and move on to Epicurus. Why not some Orwell, Nietzsche, Machiavelli, Kant etc. Don't just waste your time on fiction.

not sure if you have to pay to have these smileys or whatever, but i found a decent one: Edit: and another

YARRRR!!!! Sorry for not being active, but I've had lots of school work lately and won't be done until a week or so. But here's a positive update for all you pirates out there! The Swedish European election votes have just been counted and the PP has received a total of 7.1%...

Welcome jackamoo.

I don't think radical nihilism is a philosophy that should completely guide one's life. If it did, why would you even bother getting off the couch? Although it can be very healthy to go through a form of nihilism or relativism early on in life to become more open minded as a person. I think that...

It was never my intention to upset you iJoe, hope you can forgive me.

I'm actually curious to read the descriptions you have of me. You could always use PM. Not everything you mentioned is unethical to me. Of course I think speeding and infidelity is unethical, I just find it very odd that you prioritise many of these kinds of things over some that are far more...

Copyright is not a simple matter and should not be summarised all under the same umbrella. Ahdkaw made a great point regarding profit and personal usage. These two need to be separated, for they have entirely different ramifications. I know I'm not alone about this, because the nation of SPAIN...

Wow, this topic is all over the place, and you're throwing out wild claims that have absolutely nothing to do with ethics. First of all, following a law simply because it is a law is nowhere near ethical behaviour. More suitable language could be: disciplined, decent, obedient or just "being a...

Finally some substance. This is a much too complicated matter to be simplified with basic metaphors like that. I wonder if we still would have bakeries and restaurants if we used the same logic on them. Flour, butter, milk, yeast and spices aren't copyrighted, right, but cinnamon buns should...

These types of simulations are extremely disturbing to see, I agree, but at the same time every cell in my body screams with reluctance as soon as censorship gets in the picture. Besides, if you break this issue down to it's smallest components you'll get; a roll playing couple, where the woman...

Although you make a great point on the grey areas in videogames and movies, the only thing I really care about is your last sentence. How will this ban work in practice? In the majority of Japanese pornos that I've seen, you will see the girl trying to break free and moan in an extremely creepy...

How DARE you let your ears steal the audible frequencies that the speakers are sending out?! Close your ears you filthy thief!
