Am I the only one that does not prefer games at 60 fps (especially halo 1)? It makes me dizzy.
Always good to draw attention to this. I think it's a very serious problem that a lot of people are barely aware of.
I think we could do this forever. Thus, I will try to be as concise as possible.

I do not think the idea you are referring to is defined as morality.

Morality is defined as "the degree to which something is right and good : the moral goodness or badness of something". (There is another definition regarding beliefs in Merriam Webster, but I chose this one as we are talking about objective morality).

So for morality to be objective, good and bad must be objective. You have yet to demonstrate how you derive your idea of objective "good" and "bad".

That is what I am asking of you. To define what "good" and "bad" are without God. Nothing you've said to this point has convinced me that you have a solid understanding of your own beliefs on the matter.

Using this kind of reasoning, one can convince themselves of literally anything by invoking God. It's a pointless way to got through life, because it completely removes logic, common sense and sensory perception from the equation.


What "kind of reasoning"? That statement is in response to someone saying that God killing people indicates He practices subjective morality. This argument began with the assumption that the Christian God is real.

If the Christian God is real, my statement is absolutely true.

And, for the record, belief in God does not remove reason, common sense, or sensory perception from the equation.

I argue that you appeal to God in your argument for objective morality when you assume life and freedom to be goods.

I assume you will disagree with me. So from where do you derive that life and freedom are "good"? Are you arguing for hedonism?

Then, you list an example (one of many) where God takes a subjective view of his stated morality, and kills all first born children for some greater purpose. If what God does is always moral, then morality is not objective


It is not an objective moral truth that God should not kill. It is an objective moral truth that people should not murder.

You see we exist for no reason other than God willing it. If he wills our bodies to die that's his call. Also, if He wills a sinless person to die that person will end up in a much better place very quickly.

Okay, I really want to understand your position here. I am pretty sure I will disagree with you, but I want to clarify.

Is it your stance that objectively moral behavior is defined by human reason, and human reason alone?

Your "critical thinking" needs some fleshing out, my friend.

quote:

When you eliminate all subjective goals of a society (advancement, prosperity, etc) and strip it down to the essence of what a society is (simply coexisting), what remains is a very basic set of logical morals: do not kill, harm, steal... Everything else is subjective.


From where do you derive the "fact" that the essence of society is "simply coexisting"?

Furthermore you need to outline exactly how you jump from that "fact" to the conclusion that killing, stealing, and harming are objectively wrong.

I get the feeling you are making this up as you go along.

As a Catholic, I can't believe I agree with you on a point about marriage.

Of course this doesn't really do anything to an argument that God's definition of marriage is unchangeable. It just shows that men have tried to change it.
I was able to quit. Why is he trying to stop? Relationship issues? Religious issues?

re: Parking Question

Posted by Kracktastic on 9/7/13 at 8:54 am to
Basically I just need to know if River Road is free of traffic south of Brightside after the game.

I just seem to remember River Road being blocked off at brightside and all traffic coming from Brightside onto River Road was directed to the North- thus anyone South of the barricade should be able to go south on River Road freely.

No?

Parking Question

Posted by Kracktastic on 9/7/13 at 7:49 am
So my girlfriend and I are considering parking at her friend's apartment just south of Brightside on River Road and biking on the levee to campus. I haven't been to a game in a while, but seem to remember that they direct all traffic coming off of Brightside at River Road toward the north. If I can ride a bike back to my car at the apartment just south of Brightside will I be able to jump on River Road and head south with minimal traffic?

This makes me really mad that they couldn't come through with his Halo movie.
Hey anyone else trying to watch this online? NBC's video player is absolutely terrible.

Well that sucks. Good to know it's not just me I guess.

Fox in Lafayette

Posted by Kracktastic on 12/23/12 at 11:53 am
Guys, I live in Lafayette and use an antenna to catch local channels, however about 10 minutes ago my Fox network just went away. Odd that my antenna wont even register the channel anymore. Anyone else have this problem? Anyway I can watch the game online?

Your overall point is true but you exaggerated it a bit. All new defensive backfield? You mean Reid didn't start the previous year? All new receivers? They might not have started but Beckham got lots of playing time and the others got in just about every game. Offensive line was decimated but the ones we ended up with played better than the ones we started with. Likewise new LB's were better than the old ones. And now you want us to be optomistic because we have so many players coming back. Those same players that were somehow a liability this year? And if we lost so many unforseen players this year, cannot the same thing happen next? Just keeping the facts straight.


Ahh... and there it is. So good to see the Rant still delivers.
Nah man, this is the Tiger Rant. There is no room for optimism here.
Anyone have that gif of his fumble/catch fumble/touchdown throw against Bama?

Alright turbo, whatever you say. Please come back as soon as the game is over and we can discuss your... ahem... "scouting" report.

To the OP, Miles supporters want NC's too. 120 other teams want them too. 1 team a year gets to win. You do know that right?? I think what you mistake as complacency is really perspective and realistic expectations.

Alright, apparently a lot of people need the problem with this statement explained to them...

Alabama did not win the SEC last year, LSU did. Therefore they can not win it "for a second straight year".
