The Verbose Philosopher: February 2012
http://verbosephilosopher.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tell It Like It Is. Saturday, 25 February 2012. Time type B : time in sequence. Time type A is the smallest moment of time, or at least the four essential characteristics of a moment of time but which can be used in analysing larger discrete "chunks" of time. Time type B is moments of time in series. An extremely intuitive concept. After all, we live with it. I got up,. I ate breakfast,. I put on my shoes,. I went out to the car, and so on and so forth. And you can extend this concept to. A proper unders...

The Verbose Philosopher: Atheist "morality"
http://verbosephilosopher.blogspot.com/2013/10/atheist-morality.html
Tell It Like It Is. Thursday, 3 October 2013. I saw a misotheist piece that's hardly worth a read, except that it's a great example of how stupid most atheists are. (Warning : Skip to my comments following the quoted article unless you want a boatload of the typical atheistic arrogance and derision of reality. It is not an intellectual experience.). No need for gods any more. Image caption) True believers think atheists cannot be expected to behave morally. It is a neat, grand theory, one that Norenzayan...

The Verbose Philosopher: October 2010
http://verbosephilosopher.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tell It Like It Is. Tuesday, 12 October 2010. My Choice Is No Crime. My Choice Is Not A Crime. I'm pro-choice, you see. Y'know - to pick your nose, or wipe your arse with your bare hands. Even to rub that stuff in someone else's face. We celebrate 'em, we love 'em. And according to Aussie pro-death group GitStuffed (not their real name), "My Choice Is No Crime". I chose to burgle your house last night. Oh - thanks for the lingerie - and the jewelery was swisher than I expected - you've got class! We thro...

The Verbose Philosopher: September 2011

Tell It Like It Is. Wednesday, 28 September 2011. Uni students do a 180 on abortion. There's a new movie out called "180". Worth a watch. A wide range of uni students are interviewed one-on-one or one-on-two, and go from pro-abortion to pro-life and pro-adoption. What changed their minds? Find out : 180movie.com. Links to this post. Wednesday, 21 September 2011. All we need is love, Google-style (pro-homosexuality). A little extreme, you'll say. Here's a one-liner version from their blog :. A lot of peop...

The Verbose Philosopher: January 2012

Tell It Like It Is. Wednesday, 4 January 2012. NKJV 1982 vs 1984/85. For the odd person in the same boat as us :. A group of us are memorising whole books of the Bible using the NKJV translation. Unfortunately, we were finding minor variations of wording between our different copies of the Bible. (Two printed copies, one iPhone copy, one Android copy, and BlueLetterBible.org. Imagine how difficult it is to get word-perfect recital when different copies of the text are worded slightly differently! I don't...

Tell It Like It Is. Thursday, 26 September 2013. Athletic Greens - False Advertisiing. Athletic Greens lies in its advertising. So how can we trust anything they say? I'd never heard of Athletic Greens before today. They almost sound too good to be true, but hey, I'm always game to try something that might be good. But it seemed dreadfully suspicious when I clicked through an affiliate link (from here. And saw a risk-free trial offer "Only Available To Selected Health 1st Readers". On a different compute...

The Verbose Philosopher: Capitalism has failed, huh?
http://verbosephilosopher.blogspot.com/2012/08/capitalism-has-failed-huh.html
Tell It Like It Is. Monday, 13 August 2012. Capitalism has failed, huh? Alan Kohler is a frequent advocate of greater government control in the Australian context. His recent article "The moral bankruptcy of our ruling classes" is just another example. Capitalism has failed to deliver for the poor and the middle classes.". It disturbs me to see a prominent voice so frequently and so directly arguing in favour of greater statism. But as I have repeatedly stated, the problem is misdiagnosed. With usury, th...

The Verbose Philosopher: November 2010
http://verbosephilosopher.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tell It Like It Is. Friday, 19 November 2010. When you don't have a leg to stand on. Your views are offensive. Western second-world countries like Australia and the USA are rapidly inventing idiocy like never before conceived of in 6,000 years of human history. Some politically-active groups repeatedly find that the more research mounts up, the more the facts stand against them. Stop arguing logically, and lobby parliament for "anti-offense" laws. Therefore you must not speak. What they're doing - and th...

The Verbose Philosopher: December 2011
http://verbosephilosopher.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tell It Like It Is. Sunday, 11 December 2011. Watch out for Canadian terrorists. Seen any Canadian terrorists recently? Better watch out for those Canadians - they can be dangerous. Probably get it from the bears. This article is just one of many I want to focus on : Canadian charged in murder of 5 US soldiers in Iraq. An Iraqi national living in Canada". Oh Ok, so maybe it isn't Canadians. The ones I'd met seemed. Must be Iraqis then. But hey - I met some Iraqis too. Not sure they were really a risk.

Tell It Like It Is. Sunday, 6 November 2011. More bloodlust from the religion of piece. Despite Australian naivety, the religion of piece has some systemic issues. Y'know, the "tread. Line or we'll tear you to pieces" kind of thing. Very moderate. Very pluralistic. Very humanitarian. This time, a 17-year old fella is bashed to death in school during school hours, by his muslim school teacher and a few muslim schoolmates. For displaying two crosses he was wearing on his person. Links to this post. Mine, a...
