    Odds and fine tunning

    Greetings: First of all, since I don't a lot in the forum, I want to excuse myself in advance in the case that what I am going to ask had been answered before. It's about this idea of fine tunning in the universe, for example, the unlikely odds DNA came into existance by chance and the sort...

    Where 'cause and effect come from'

    Greetings: I think the so-called "principle of cause and effect" merely comes from deterministic philosophy, in which nothing is random and there is a will behind every single thing that happens in the universe. I disagree with determinism and I especifically have a problem with looking at the...

    End of Censorhip?

    Greetings: Enigmaniac makes very good points. I think freedom of speech, like any other controversy-generator issuse will always have some kind of opposition. At one point we might regress to a totalitarian censorship, but societies need oxygen, and criticizing our leaders is truly a relief for...

    Red Jaguar's Pencil

    Greetings: Thank you both, Amerist and Irkun, for taking a look at my work and leaving your opinion. I take requests, by the way, free of charge. Also, if you read the comments in the site for that particular picture, you'll notice it has quite an interesting history. - The Jaguar

    Red Jaguar's Pencil

    Greetings: I do draw, now that you mention it. I have a page at deviant art, I invite you to take a look. Mostly I do portraits, some bondage (not me in the images, of course) and few humour sketchs. http://redjaguar.deviantart.com/ Tell me what you think. - The Jaguar

    End of Censorhip?

    Greetings: I was thinking the other day on how, despite the constant fightback from the regressives (as David Fleetwood would put it), we have generally succeeded through in cimenting civil liberties, fighting censorship and scientific progress. And considering that our social behaviour has...

    I noticed something...

    Not sure if "invented". I mean, it does have a certain pompous and hypocritical bell to it, maybe they heard it once then got together and decided that could be their new cover up.

    I noticed something...

    Greetings: I think political correctness is just the newest form of censorshit... I mean, ship. I value people who are polite, and respectful and that we should try to be the same. But nowadays, I do think political correctness is being taken to the point where every criticism is taken as hate...

    American Morality

    On the list: 1.- I have nothing against the concept of divorce. Sometimes it's better to cut all ties than hanging from false hope threads. I really think the bad moral view on divorce steems from the religious conservative who value marriage so highly, or so they say. But I think it is a basic...

    Is there a such thing as too much freedom?

    I have received criticism as somewhat of a radical liberalist, but here's my contribution for the League to judge. There are two main of my behaviour. The 1st one is Total Individual Freedom/Total Individual Responsability. That means we are free to think and act as we please, but in order to...

    Protesting Burn a Qu'ran day

    Greetings: I am from Mexico, and the Islam is really a minority here. So far, it seems they like to play low profile, but as you said, books shouldn't be burned. It doesn't matter if they are about religious fundamentalism or just suck, we are not ignorant savages. I compromise to keep my ears...

    The best defence against an argument like this?

    I agree with borrofburi here. One could say that negating to a debate is a sign your point cannot be defended. I don't debate in front of big crowds, I rather a talk among a small group, and that's considering I pride myself at my rethoric and public speaking in Spanish (my first language). But...

    Separation of Church and State is a Lie?

    Greetings: I don't know about you the UK and US folks, but here in Mexico, separation of church and state is, thankfully, legal and enforced. Of course, when it all started, Vatican's Zealots started to cause trouble, we even have a specific war about it: "The Cristero War". However, at the...
