    Urban Sprawl From Hades!

    Overpopulation, Climate Change, Pollution, etcetera.

    Urban Sprawl From Hades!

    For a certain period, yes. But afterwards, starvation and a lack of resources will ensue.

    Urban Sprawl From Hades!

    Are there any other options? Even if we do manage to slow down reproduction, its still a matter of time until the planet becomes uninhabitable, unless we stop all births altogether or something similarly extreme.

    I was just thinking

    On the internet the conversation can be so impersonal and disconnected. A friend insulting you to your face is so much more suprising, more personal.

    Urban Sprawl From Hades!

    The only possible solutions we have are killing countless millions or colonization of exo-planets. I can kind of see why they ignore it so intensely.

    The implications of reality being a simulation

    Actually, I am exactly the opposite. I believe that whether our reality is simulated or not, all consciousness must be treated fairly, regardless of what a god-like CPU says. I believe there is a morality even more objective than that of the creators of the simulation. I would have to assume...

    Whose Side Are You On, God's Or That Of Morality?

    Slavery is very different in a Biblical setting than that of today. These differences include: Slaves were made so willingly (usually to pay off debts or similiar economic problems). They were not to be abused or mistreated. One of the examples you gave even forbids abuse of slaves. There...

    Is thee a glutton?

    I very much enjoy eating, if thats what you mean. Thankfully my metabolism keeps me skinny. For now...

    That is a good point. It seems to be mostly subjective, but nonetheless it seemed that this woman acted without justification.

    Urban Sprawl From Hades!

    Alas, perhaps things shall be better in Revoltistan.

    Urban Sprawl From Hades!

    If cities become more compact, numerous benefits will ensue, including: Walking will become more prominent due to increased closeness of buildings. This will result in less carbon emissions due to less automobile use and incresed fitness and wellbeing. Less vehicle use will result in less...

    Elderly in Hong Kong struggle to make ends meet

    That may be true for here, but Australia actually prides itself for having the best social wellfare in the world. I don't believe we will be seeing very many working elderly there.

    Elderly in Hong Kong struggle to make ends meet

    China being so authoritarian, and Australia being more democratic, it seems that working for so long is a product of a lousy government.

    I was just thinking

    Going to a celebration of something is different than going to a place where someone is punished for something. A homosexual wedding would be, according to the Catholic, a celebration of the sin, while a prison for sinners would be recovery from sin. I'm not convinced whether homosexuality is a...

    Self driving cars may fix our traffic problems:

    While the technology isn't perfect, it sure is useful in plenty of situations. Until it advances further, we can stay home or leave the extreme driving to the humans.
  16. IsaiahX

    Self driving cars may fix our traffic problems:

    That is a notable exception, but overall I think self-driving cars are the best choice.
  17. IsaiahX

    Self driving cars may fix our traffic problems:

    We also have free will when it comes to how we design our machines. Besides, God would want us to make the selfless decision either way. Just program the machine to do just that.
  18. IsaiahX

    Self driving cars may fix our traffic problems:

    Put a human in that scenario and see if they manage any better. You shouldn't be driving in those conditions anyway, human or computer.
  19. IsaiahX

    Self driving cars may fix our traffic problems:

    A human can make all the mistakes that a computer can, including that one. Overall, I would say it would be an improvement. Besides, it would be better for it to kill the driver simply due to a utilitarian perspective. A human would make the selfish choice in that situation, while a car wouldn't.
  20. IsaiahX

    Self driving cars may fix our traffic problems:

    Human drivers make mistakes much more often. Technology and automated systems would have improved by that point anyway.
