"I owe a lot to my service too, and will always be proud of it. If I had gotten seriously injured, I may have felt differently, though. I was lucky to come out in one piece. I was lucky enough to have it enhance my life.…"
"I'll have to actually read the articles.
My initial impression, though, is that that the sheep/sheepdog dichotomy had more to do with those who sacrifice to protect the group and those that do not. I'm not…"
"It depends, of course.
If you have a final in three hours that you've hardly studied for, you have no business going to the gym.
But if you're on top of your game as far as time management goes, a work-out can get the brain juices going,…"
"Don't complain. Things are going to suck. You are going to be tired, physically and mentally pushed to your limit. You're going to be assigned pointless tasks, hard tasks, and impossible tasks. It's a mind game. Suck it up,…"
"Hey, Vytautas. Thanks for the request. I'm glad to have you on my friends list."
""There are some that fall through the cracks..."
Sad, but true."
"Of course, I know it's not up or down, 0% or 100%. The way the man described his injuries, it would seem to warrant a %100 compensation, IMO.
I base my opinion on my personal experience with the VA. My…"
"It's strange that your friend does not have a 100% disability rating with the VA. I think he could easily get it, and with enough back pay to set him up pretty good. He would just have to go through the all…"
"It happens within the first 15 seconds. The officer says at 0:06 secs that the officer is taking the gun "off" the man. I infer from this that the officer takes the gun from the man's holster. Wisely the…"
Rick Shelton replied to C.C. Dolph's discussion Standing up to "The Man." in the group The Great Debate"I didn't see where or when the cop 'seized' the weapon. Did he ask for it or did he grab it from the guy's holster or hand? If it was handed over then it isn't seizure it is reliquishment."
"First, what an excellent lecture! Thanks for the post, Dallas. I'm beginning to like your style.
Also, I am so jealous of her education, and the philosophical giants she learned from. To learn Rawls from Rawls and Nozick from Nozick…"
"The "who's to say?" argument has no real force in my opinion.The problem only arises when you couch the distinction in terms of damage done to parties. The problem disappears when you think of it in…"

Profile Information
- Interests
- Argumentation and debate peppered with occasional sophistry, ethics, metaethics, political philosophy, comparative politics, religion and theology, metaphysics.
- Books
- I enjoy the classics of literature and philosophy. I've been working my way through the western canon of great books. I couldn't begin to name them all. I lament that I will likely never finish. So much to read, so little time on Earth... I also enjoy a good and easy read now and then. I'm not above reading for fun. Dan Brown and Stephan King have entertained me.
- Movies
- I only care for serious dramas.
- Music
- My tastes are diverse. Of contemporary flavors, I enjoy rock the most. I'm a fan of classical, especially the romantic era, and particulary the work of Tchaikovsky and Brahms. I also find liturgical chant pleasing.
- Quote
- "The fool, with all his other faults, has this also,-he is always getting ready to live." qtd. by Seneca
"Everybody hurts; take comfort in your friends." -Michael Stipe
What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that he is dying daily? For we are mistaken when we look forward to death; the major portion of death has already passed. Whatever years be behind us are in death’s hands. –Seneca
Alas, I have studied philosophy, the law as well as medicine, and to my sorrow, theology; studied them well with ardent zeal, yet here I am, a wretched fool, no wiser than I was before.
~ taken from Goethe's "Faust
“TAKE COURAGE AND BE A MAN” King David
“Whoever thinks much is not suitable as a party member: he soon thinks himself right out of the party."
-Nietzsche.

Steve replied to Jonny's discussion Was putting my dog to sleep the right thing to do?"That's no way for a much loved pet/companion to live...you absolutely did the right thing IMO.
It's always heart breaking to lose a pet in any circumstances, but we have to take responsibility for these things, and it would have…"
Steve replied to Vincent's discussion Appropriate Interview Suit?"I'd go for a more classic cut personally, and something far less shiny.
I have a suit that is similar to yours, it's cut in a more tailored style as opposed to the extreme slim cut of yours, but it's something I'd only wear for…"
Chuck Knight replied to Daniel's discussion Casual Belts for Jeans?"The real ones are called trophy buckles, and are actually given as trophies in rodeo events. The bigger and shinier the buckle, the higher the ranking.
I nicknamed them "turkey platter" buckles."
Aaron Lancaster replied to D.J.'s discussion Let Down in a Relationship"Good call. Actually college and drinking go together remarkably well. It sounds like you guys have a difference in values. Finish it up now before you both become miserable. Move on, find a nice quiet girl who doesn't drink,…"
Will replied to Herb Munson's discussion The Primacy and Existence of God in the group The Great Debate"I had assumed that was a joke, Herb!
We always used to say we hoped and prayed the school would burn down so we wouldn't have to go -- because it was torture, man! Not a joke I'd make in current circumstances, tho."
