Do any or none of the explanations rule in SISVs?

If you consider a memory popping up being an external factor, then what is left? Before someone makes a choice they have to recall, or remember what the choices are. Is everything that a person...

What constitutes environment and circumstances? Would that include the internal dynamics of the person or in the context of free will discussions, environment is only external? For example, suppose I...

If the deity wanted a particular outcome, then I would agree that there is a contradiction between pre-determinism and free will. However, if the deity doesn't desire to control the outcome, but...

You are making the assumption that I have produced / created everything or controlled the environment. I did not. What I refer to as a system, could also been seen as an infrastructure - a set of...

Yes, I believe the deity had a choice in the kind of system it created.

Correct.

So in order for me to understand this better, I looked up "libertarian free will" and it's defined as the...

What exactly do you mean by reality? If you mean that the deity has created everything and controls it, then I would be compelled to agree with you as there would be no such thing as choice as...

How do you know "2. The deity chose to create the reality in which Person A ends up doing X, and not Y." is true? Couldn't the deity create a world in which Person A could do X or Y, but still know...

ODN is a rare place on the web where software and people have come together and formed something special. If it weren't for the leadership and guidance of Apok and the excellent moderation of the...

No, she has not proven she is an Indian.

What does that mean?
Maybe. I don't really know because I don't watch it.

Yeah, I did say that. But that doesn't mean my mind can't be changed or influenced. I no longer see the use of the term,...

What is important to one person or group of people may not be important to another group. What criteria could be used to determine what's important?

I don't watch cable news. And while I read...

Editorial selection is not the same thing as lying. All media outlets have limited resources and tend to focus on stories which will generate revenue.

But to the larger point: Isn't the...

And Sanders, at the salary of $172k per year accepts that task happily. She's not a victim, but an accomplice in the exaggerations.

You say her statement is false. But is it a lie? Is she a liar?...

Well, if she didn't intend to lie, then she perhaps she is just incompetent.


I don't understand what you mean.


Where did she say anything about the EC? Perhaps you mean "added" instead of...

On October 30th, 2018, the White House Press Secretary stood on the podium in her official capacity:



We know that in fact, Candidate Trump received 62,984,828 votes. That's close to the 63...

Understand that's what I am hearing you say. You say that crime is always punished even in cases where man's system of justice doesn't punish the criminal. Is that correct?

So in other words, man doesn't need a system of justice because all crimes are punished by God?

I get what you're saying, but the reality is you want Trump to have said something he didn't say.

Trump said "and if she is an Indian." She can't make that claim because she doesn't know what Trump meant be Indian. But the government's definition she is not. By the Cherokee's definition she is...

He doesn't need to pay up. He said something to the effect "...and if she is an Indian." He offered no criteria for what being an Indian is so that's how he backs out of the deal. Just having Native...

Right. Because technically, he said he would have to toss her the DNA test on the debate stage ever so gently and then give 1m to charity if she takes the test and it shows she is an Indian. It's...

Sure. Source

Interesting observation about the parallels. But that's his MO - latch on to something that...

Trump has had wranglings and animus in the past with Tribes, particular those that own casinos. He even said (back in 1993 in an interview with Don Imus) : Well, I think I might have more Indian...

You're interpretation would suggest Trump is being sarcastic. I don't get that sense from him...but....I am okay with your spin / rationalization for now.

The unfounded / baseless rate of complaints was 2 out of every 100 reported crimes. The unfounded / baseless rate of complaints of forcible rate is 8 out of every 100 reported crimes. 92% of the time...

Yes, she does deserve criticism, but not mockery at the expense of a race. He uses Pocahontas as a derogatory which is my view is not acceptable. He should come up with his own name, like DNA Lizzy....

You are speculating.

Again, you are speculating.

You are speculating as to what Congress needs to investigate.
You are assuming the claim is not credible. I find it very credible. Now what?...

It's your claim, not mine. So feel free to support that every single Justice on the court has done something "wrong", however that is defined. I was just offering Gorsuch as an example of someone who...

Don't recall Gorsuch having this kind of problem.
