Xavier5:Belief is subjective in all contexts, because it is done by individual subjects. Personal opinion is also subjective because it is the opinion of personal individual subjects. Value, as in, what is held to be of value, and the value things have, is subjective, because value is determined by individual subjects, a la one persons gold is another person's dross. Xavier5:Bingo. And that's because we are all individual subjective subjects, each with separate brains in our heads, and with different educations and dictionaries, and understandings and contexts and etc and etc and etc and...... Xavier5:When beliefs are true or right, they stop being beliefs and become knowledge. And this, by the way, is why your post should be in a thread in the religious section where it rightly belongs, so I wouldn't need to hesitate to educate you about how stupid ignorant Adam was enslaved to the belief he would surely die until use her senses Eve freed him from slavery with knowledge. I may believe all I want that I have a billion pounds in my bank account, but on going to my bank and checking my account I would know if I had a billion pounds in my bank account or not instead of merely believing unverified ignorant crap in my head like basilico always does here. I may of course decide to go on believing whatever I want despite the available evidence but the objective reality is there whether I choose to accept it or not. And on that note, I must plug The Newsroom, the series I'm currently watching. It shows the difference between belief and knowledge, and the extent competent journalists will go to differentiate between the 2.

bemeruca: TDS is a huge issue for buda, and you should know that by now. At the last presidential election in USA, buda went to Wuhan to create Covid and brought it to America to kill millions of magas so dump would have fewer votes than Biden. At the presidential election in USA in less than 30 days, all the immigrants, legal and illegal, that buda has been bringing into america will all vote for Kamala so she wins the presidential election. Trust me, when I say we are not only eating the dogs and eating the cats and eating the pets in Springfield, but are using their blood to do the voodoo so dump loses all over America! |

budaatum: I wanted to go with a follow up question, does that mean nothing is actually or inherently true or right? But then I saw the bolded. At least, you admit that truly there are things that are actually or inherently true or right, irrespective of individual opinions. You call them knowledge, I call them diverse names; concepts, beliefs, values, knowledge that are inherently or actually true or right. That's all I've been saying all this while. Personal opinions are personal opinions. Reality is reality. How do we know what's actually or inherently true or right? Evidence, reasoning, and universal intrinsic knowing. And that's the summary of all I've been saying. That's why I made it clear that objectivity and subjectivity both exist... in the context that some things are actually or inherently true or right irrespective of personal or individual opinions or perspectives. #Xavier |

wirinet: Therein lies the problem. I don't share this version of liberalism. I've made known, in details, my version of liberalism which is based on the fundamental value of intrinsic human value, on which other values such as human rights, equality and liberty are based on. And because of my version of liberalism, I'm pro-life. And because of my version of liberalism, I'm hugely pro liberty, especially with one's body, but when a human life is being threatened or hurt, then I oppose. Which begs the question, is a fetus a human life? I've come across people that share my version of liberalism, and I've come across those that share yours. But, as I've earlier said, if your definition of liberalism is the dominant definition of liberalism in this thread, then I can't associate with it, I prefer to be seen as an independent in this thread. This discussion has already been done, and I don't want to go into that rollercoaster, but I just feel I should let you know... if it matters. #Xavier 1 Like 1 Share |

wirinet: This is utter nonsense. A false dichotomy at its finest. You giving the notion that a person must either support complete freedom over one's or not be a liberal. liberalism is not monolithic, no be black and white thing same as many other things in life; it encompasses a range of positions on issues too. Person wey advocate for personal freedoms but still have reservations about abortion based on ethics. Generalization, you have the modest view of freedom you don't care about ethics and you left no room for nuance. Maybe you guys don't understand what liberalism is 3 Likes 1 Share |

Xavier5: Did you read where I said hot is 0⁰c in humptydumpty land? Please go back and read Ijebos responses in that conversation, as they rightly apply here. Knowledge is not belief. (I have depluralised it on purpose). And the only reason you think otherwise is religion, which synonymises both words. Xavier5: You see the bold? I've been letting you get away with it, but the truth is it is nonsense and meaningless, as there is no universe that intrinsically knows anything, and nor do we humans all universally know the same things. And while you might not admit it, I am fully aware that it's a camouflage for some imaginary God. And now to your question "How do we know what's actually or inherently true or right?" Which is linguistically faulty, as true and right are not as interchangeable as you think, since "right" can mean "correct", or "proper", which are not the same thing as what is "true"! We know what is true by checking the evidence with our senses. Eve plucked the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and ate it to check if it would surely kill her, only to find it was good for gaining wisdom and for opening eyes and freeing one from slavery. I know if it is true or not that I have a billion pounds in my bank account because I got off my ass and went to the bank to check my account so I know. Basically, we ask and knock and seek by using our senses check so we may know the truth. We are often initially taught what we should accept as right or proper (morals, to be exact), i.e the 10 commandments, the law where we live, say please and thank you and the such like, but as we grow older, we individually decide what is right and proper for ourselves in many circumstances, and despite the desire of others to impose morality on one. An example is abortions, where there is no universal Intrinsic agreement. Xavier5:No one is unclear about the existence of objectivity and subjectivity, Xavier. (Though I'm tempted to ask how subjective thoughts in your head can possible exist for me unless you make them objective for me to see their existence, lol.) The question is, which is which. As in, what is objective existing verifiable fact, and what is subjective made up in one's head imaginary crap. |

Xavier5: My guy, you're taking this too far. You can't be a liberal and have this much consternation about whether you will vote Trump or Harris. As a liberal that should have been an easy choice without all the discussion of running mates. Liberalism would have forced you to vote Harris based even on the liberal tenets you espoused. 1 Like 1 Share |

And I made it known, if such is the dominant definition here, I'm independent in this thread, so I don't see the need for your back and forth. But one thing is certain, Xavier has come across liberals that share his version of liberalism. If anyone here choose not to believe it, that's their head ache, not mine. As for my choice of candidate, I made my choice, and I gave my reasons. If that doesn't sit well with you, that's your problem, not mine.

IjeBos: Trust me, Ijebos, that if it were possible to stop disinformation, I'd ban the Bible and the Qur'an first, not so much because they misinform (they don't), but because people are misinformed by not understanding them. Thankfully, I see the unintended consequence of their enlightening effect so I'm glad both exist. Biden, or shall I say, liberalism, fights disinformation by educating, and Biden's government is doing what it can against the darkness of magaism trying to drown it out, and going any further would be edging into fascism, I think. My hope is that more see the light shining in the dark that is trying to overcome it. 1 Like |

budaatum: Even the UK is doing a better job with it from what I've read. There has to be a balance. And I think laws can be structured that make spreading disinformation harder without running afoul of the 1st amendment. Maybe it's time to tweak section 230 and allow liability to media platforms that don't make a good faith concerted effort to shut down clear discernable lies that endanger the public good. The key of course would have to be in the language. We don't allow people to go into a crowded people and yell "FIRE" understanding what consequences that causes, we shouldn't allow the same on social media. And Biden addressing American would be educating them. 1 Like 1 Share |

You cannot refute what I said Yes, FEMA took funds and used them for migrants. No, the media is not telling you the truth. No I do not need to see articles from Washington Post. If the money cannot be use for other purpose why are they broke? Which fund did they receive for illegals, was it money given to them for that purpose?

The Democrats are claiming FEMA has two different budgets - one for migrant resettlement and one for disaster relief. The truth is Congress never allocated FEMA any money to fund Kamala Harris’s open border policy - they just took the money.https://twitter.com/amuse/status/1842827869111693452?t=PPq8Ob6rUeqYkhn7K3ZeSg&s=19 |

bemeruca: Did you move to the US in 2021 as you told one of your friends or 2023 as you told everyone here? And again, this is where you said you stayed when you landed in the US. Why is this a picture of a place in Canada? You are using the lie that you are in the US to make your other lies seem more credible. That is a clear misinformation propagation strategy and it seems you are doing it purposefully. The mods should take a look.

IjeBos: We have different laws and education in UK that make a dump literally impossible here. We'd have labelled him a crackpot already and no one would listen to him even in a comedy club. But then, we also don't have people putting Bibles in classrooms neither I suppose, nor USA style freedom of speech. By the way, we do not disallow people going into a crowded people and yell "FIRE", since they don't need our permission or allowing to go into a crowded people and yell "FIRE". What we do do, and only sometimes, is hold people responsible for the consequences of going into a crowded people and yell "FIRE". In fact, you usually are allowed to do that without fear of arrest, lawsuits, or other legal consequences. Shouting “Fire” in a crowded theater, a metaphor that dates to a 1919 Supreme Court ruling by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., is widely—and wrongly—held to be a far-reaching exception to the First Amendment, which offers broad protection to free expression in the United States. |
