    The Big Picture: Magneto Was Right

    When the whole X-men/Magneto-metaphore came up I couldn't stop thinking about the one big problem with Marvel-mutants: It's not mutation but evolution. PS: I haven't read all the posts on this thread, but it might be a fun drinking-game to see how many a mentioned what I mentioned above.

    Poll: Your Library

    I own more than a hundred books, but if we count the books in the apartment where I live I have 60 unless you count each book in the book-colections as a book. In that case I have more than 150 books where I currently live.

    Poll: Is Lex Luthor evil?

    Luthor is as ethical corrupt as comic-character can get without becomingsomewhat goony. Sometimes he does stuff that don't even seem to get him some kind of gain, he just do it because he's an arse.

    Why do we hate Justin Beiber?

    He's popular, but his music is mediocre. Most people who find his music mediocre or bad hate the fact that his popular for mediocre music and his face. It's like twilight, but instead of a poorly written book with a poor plot the plot and writing has been replaced with music and a face.

    The Big Picture: Nerd Gods

    I'm willing to let every thing slide, you can believe what you want about whatever. But one question, where the hell did you get this from that I believe you are the greatest threat to philosophy because your post was poorly written? I'm just stumped. To answer your question: my post is...

    The Big Picture: Nerd Gods

And finally I said my post was porly written but never did I state that philosophy is all about metaphysics. I said...

    Banning Violent Games Tops Conservative's To Do List

    I don't get the 'graphical' part when people rage against videogames. When I was 10 or 11 I read a childrenbook, and it was a childrenbook meant for kids my age, where it was about Merlin the wizards younger years. The part I want to mention is a part where his wife (yeah, he had a wife and had...

    The Big Picture: Nerd Gods

    however Platos god was not a relevant part of his philosophy. Like Aristotle the god was just an explanation in their philosophy. Religious philosophy was hardly a relevant part of philosophy before Augustine. I do however when re-reading my first post see that I did a poor job writing it. It...

    The Big Picture: Nerd Gods

    sorry, missed the -button. pre-socratic (that wich was before Socrates) there was three premises presented in the definition of divine perfection power, knowledge and goodnes. They have been used in presenting arguments on both sides of the god-argument since.

    The Big Picture: Nerd Gods

    Not no change. however we still define god by the three premises of power, knowledge, goodness presented presocratic. Deny that these are the three premises isn't used througout history in defining godly perfection and you really don't fit calling other people ignorant.

    The Big Picture: Nerd Gods

    Actually the philosophers have had a pretty static perception of what the term 'God' means (refering to Bobs comment on humans perception of gods changing over the course of history). The premises is actually more than 2000 years old. Why do I mention this? Because philsophers or people with a...

    Evolution...?

    Let's go sci-fi by saying that we equip our bodies from a early age with advanced machinery and thus control our own evolution. (A joke, but it does sound like a consept from a movie.)

    Video game weapons you found most useless!

    A broom. (I won't mention any specific game) In most games where you can use a broom as a weapon there is an arsenal of swords and other lethal weapons, but noooo go kill someone with a broom.
