    Pakistan, Facebook and Blasphemy

    I guess I failed to miss the connection because Canada, Germany and Sweden weren't the ones being asked by Pakistan officials to help control content in their web space...

    Any Arguments by which to Conclude that Consciousness Is a Product of Brains?

    I find this still incredibly vague, but I do like the phrase "independent choice." Humans do not make independent choices. Every choice is dependent on an overwhelming number of factors; for starters, a brain. Disagreed. Just cause you say something is an important aspect doesn't make it so...

    Craft Beer

    I use to love IPA's and Whiskey, but my body just handle it like it use to. Now I'm old man with my lagers yelling at kids to drink real beer! Liquors or sort of the same-- I can't really bring myself to drink it anymore unless it's clear like tequila, vodka, gin or moonshine.

    Is an Atheist Society not a secular society?

    They are not mutually inclusive traits of a government.

    Craft Beer

    I'm reducing the number of domestic products I purchase in favor of imports for the time being. But, cheap Mexican beer does generally just taste better given the climate here. It's not really fun drinking a 10% Double Stout in 95 degree weather. Something like Modelo goes down as easy as PBR...

    Craft Beer

    I don't like unfiltered beers. Or sour beers. Or grapefruit juice beer. These all exist in a post-scarcity state in Austin. As I get older though, I can't really drink IPA's like I use to, which was at once my favorite. Now I only drink the pisswater from Mexico. Have you considered making your...

    "Western Nation"... do you mean "Facebook"?

    Defunding the EPA

    Well to clarify, certianly plenty of people are upset about it. Some aren't that's fine. But if your sole argument for why there shouldn't be windfarms is because it destroys the landscape and cost taxpayers money, then it should apply equally to all things that destroy the landscape and cost...

    Any Arguments by which to Conclude that Consciousness Is a Product of Brains?

    Sure, I just don't call that free will. It's a being acting out a will. Regardless if free will exists or not; it doesn't really pertain to the OP.. which is does consciousness arrive from the brain (or specifically what evidence exists that it does). Why would I need to show free will arrives...

    Defunding the EPA

    Speaking of unuseful objects that cost the taxpayers money... I don't see anyone complaining about the Wall.. 75% of the border is private property. That means some thousands of thousands of TX residents will have to fight imminent domain for their property, to build a wall at the expense of the...

    Defunding the EPA

    Windfarms neither costs billions in tax-dollars... Austin gets energy from a privately-owned windfarm... If you are suggesting they got some sort of tax deduction because they were building a windfarm, then I'd ask you to apply your dislike for tax deductions to everyone you like along with the...

    Any Arguments by which to Conclude that Consciousness Is a Product of Brains?

    Still a little shocked you are still fascinated with the free will question here. Like every time I keep trying to bring back the conversation to the topic of your OP "Does consciousness arrive from the brain?" you just bring up the free will again. In my mind, the topic of free will is wholly...

    Yes. My "alerts" cleared out so I couldn't find your post. But I just looked at your history instead and found it, so.

    Defunding the EPA

    Um... they need to depend on the state plus a much larger state even less representative. Is there a reason we need a city government, a county government, a state government, and a federal government, cause it seems like the first three could probably handle the latter's responsibilities being...

    Defunding the EPA

    I mean, think about like this. Wind turbines kill somewhere between 100k-573k birds a year. If this is a solid reason not to build wind turbines anywhere, than absolutely no one should own a cat... 2.4 Billion birds a year die at the hands of cats. Even taking the highest estimate... 573k...

    Defunding the EPA

    Ah, if that's the ultimate concern, we should probably criminalize cat ownership.

    Defunding the EPA

    Then perhaps MI can include something very similar in their constitution; keeping counties and cities from infringing on the individual rights of people who live in MI.

    Defunding the EPA

    I'm not particularly criticizing the document itself. It certainly has things I like and things I don't agree with. It has many pros and little cons, like most constitutions in the world. However, I'd prefer if every state ran themselves according to their own constitutions, or however the...
