Which is the more precious value, personal safety or a safer society?
That is a great question.

I am gratified Enco you are somewhat capable of conceding a point. I don’t know Enco, I don’t know enough about US states to comment on any of this. I wouldn’t want to live in a place that doesn’t have gun control and I wouldn’t want to live in a place where the majority prefer it. It is entirely sensible to put reasonable controls on extremely…[Read more]

And now for something completely different. These reactors are fun, clever-Brit style. They don’t interrupt the song (Disciple), so you can skip forward as much as you like, although they do smile or chuckle at the same places I would.

@Enco – Yes, I think I did post it previously. I re-read the book every few years. Same with FearΒ and Loathing in LV, just to make sure I am living correctly π
As for what two or more people do together as consenting adults is of no interest or concern to me unless I am one of them. Here in Ireland the penalty for bigamy is two wives!

Then I guess I read Vermont’s laws incorrectly because it seems like they raised the age, required background checks beyond federal laws and enacted a whole slew of new laws on gun control Enco.

Seems like a shit ton of gun control to me beyond federal legislation. What do I know…I’m not…[Read more]

Just rereading a book that mentions the Puritans. It is over 100 years old now.Β From ‘The Necessity of Atheism’ by Dr. D.M. Brooks;
When the Puritan Fathers landed in this country, they began an existence that has revealed to the world for all time the value of a “burning religious zeal.” In a sense they showed this zeal in regard to the…[Read more]

Being able to “open carry” is small fish in terms of gun control. Vermont has numerous gun control laws include age restrictions, some licensing, background checks and ability to seize guns. People who advocate for gun control laws do not necessarily say all guns should be banned. It is simply putting reasonable limits on an extremely dangerous…[Read more]

The term “Islamophobia” was first used in print in 1991 and was defined as “unfounded hostility towards Islam, and therefore fear or dislike of all or most Muslims.” It is admitted in the article that the term “Islamophobia” is not an ideal descriptor. However, that statement is a prime example of a non sequitur fallacy. It does not follow that…[Read more]

Reg has a short vid from Dawkins about Islamophobia.
How to reconcile the positions taken by Autumn and Dawkins?
Correct me if i misstate your position Autumn. Islamophobia is a valid term. Whether the target is Muslims or Islam is immaterial. It is not about Muslims or Islam. Rather it is about bigots. Autumn rightly points to instances in…[Read more]

my first thought was that it was hilarious this was posted on the New York Post.
Same here. I had to recheck it. Especially when you look at most of the sidebar stories. Maybe they are being sabotaged from the inside π

Laughs, you added that the owners flatulence acted in a Pavlovian way by training the horse to over-react and rear up at all similar sounds.
Our school lesson on Pavlov was interrupted when the dinner bell rang and we all went to the canteen.

I am sure an argument for proximate cause could be made for the supplier of whatever culinary delights the owner enjoyed despite knowing they caused him flatulence.

Or the car driver for not maintaining his car adequately, enabling it to backfire. The horse of course had input through itβs reaction which unseated the rider. The ambulance driver chose the hospital to which the rider was going. To a degree, heβs a link in the sequence chain. The hospital allowed the rider-patient to become infected – per…[Read more]

Proximate cause is the fulcrum of the insurance industry. One of the sample narratives which challenged the learner to pinpoint proximate cause, went something like this:-
A car backfires
A horse shies and tosses its rider
The rider breaks a leg in the fall
The ambulance takes the rider to hospital.
The rider contracts a virus from another…[Read more]

Simon that is kind of correct in a nonlegal framing.
