None of these are as incoherent as washoe.

Well he's had a couple of months to sober up since we last saw him.


by d2_e4 m

I have a strong suspicion that one of them might be our old chum washoe.

None of these people sound like washoe to me.

Not even this guy?

by CMON_MAN m

youre way off champ.

its one of the most expensive places in the world as you say.

then the crime rate should not be average. burgeleries and invasions should not be higher as they are they should be lower.

but they arent. thats bc nothing happens to criminals. its a gangstas paradise.

He also likes to address me personally in threads, much like washoe did:

by CMON_MAN m

sup holmes. how u doing man?

by d2_e4 m

Do I know you?

by CMON_MAN m

i think you do, dont ya?


It's been a while but I don't think that exchange sounds anything like washoe (nor any of CMON_MAN's posting). Besides, washoe's account isn't even banned so why would he decide to create a new one?


by d2_e4 m

I wonder what goes through someone's mind when literally everyone around them is giving them the same criticism, mostly in a constructive manner, and they pig-headedly refuse to accept the feedback. I can sort of get deluding yourself into thinking that one or two specific people have it out for you, but we're up to like a dozen people saying exactly the same thing in slightly

These posts will not age well for you. When it comes to morality, I’ve already been validated at the highest level.

Hahaha, homeslice is threatening me with the wrath of his sky fairy. I'm shaking in my little satanic booties.

Hate to tell you this broseph, but this whole religion thing is just make believe for grown men and women who lack the requisite mental development and emotional maturity to accept reality and mortality for what it is, or the self control do what is right without the threat of someone watching over them. That would be you, not me, so I'm not overly concerned with what will happen when your sky daddy sees my posts.

I suppose I'd be curious to know how to know what is right, or at least what your answer is there.

Just ask the religionists ldo. Something about ****ing your neighbour's ox. Or not doing that. I forget.

How do you know that every time you eat ice cream, you don't awake a demon that will torture your soul in the aftermath?

I have a book that says so, validated by people who think it's true.

Until you can disprove this, you can't eat ice cream.

See how it works?


A more serious response would be: I don't understand the form of the question, since I find the implication that morality is derived from belief in a omnipotent, omnipresent preternatural being to be a complete non sequitur. If you can explain to me how these things are related, then I can try to answer your question.


Even hardened religious nutjobs surely acknowledge that morality existed long before monotheistic religions.

I'm asking you. How do you know what is the right thing to do?

It’s not a threat, calm down. I’m telling you, matter-of-factly, you’re making a fool of yourself. You just don’t realize it.

Ok this has nothing to do with religion. How do you personally know what is right?


by craig1120 m

"Making a fool of yourself" implies that those witnessing my behaviour think I am a fool. Judging by how this thread has gone for you so far, which one of us would you say more accurately fits this description?

Or is this another one of those phrases that means something completely different in craigspeak?


by Luckbox Inc m

Ok this has nothing to do with religion. How do you personally know what is right?

Some of it is learned from your upbringing, some is innate and intuitive, some is codified by statute. Lots of sources.

Most of it should just be intuitive. Do you think if nobody were around to teach you how to **** you wouldn't be able to figure it out for yourself when you came across your first vagina?


by Luckbox Inc m

Again, how do you know that hell doesn't exist?

How do you prove a negative?

You treat everything as existing with 0 probability until elements arose that increase that prior.

la place equiprobability axiom doesn't apply to all the describable scenarios

The first commandment of the comfort zone 😀


Not 0 probability, but null.


If everyone stays in their comfort zone, and the status quo continues, not only does democracy fail, but civilization will perish.

It will perish with people in their comfort zone pointing the finger at others. Corruption reigns supreme because the comfort zone is corrupt.

Easy for you to say.

I was hoping you would say you get it from Jane Austin or something but this works. Thanks for answering.
