Your response is sexist. You are assuming that sex is something that only males desire and only males enjoy. It’s nothing of the sort. Sex is a two way street and both parties should enjoy it. I would not have it any other way. I would never want to have sex with a partner who did not enjoy it as much as I.

I'm sure your retired Librarian wife wouldn't appreciate you posting publicly that you "get laid a lot". If you had stated that your wife and you were making love more often, it would've been acceptable way of showing your golden years are, indeed, more enjoyable with your wife. You truly are a lost individual, in so many ways.....

If suffering is not evil then what is? If inflicting suffering is not evil then what is? In any case Epicurus says nothing about suffering.

Beneficial

I have empathy. Others suffer and I have empathy. And I have suffered and may again.

So what.

What is an election if not a “political test.

”

My error, "religious test", i.e. Mormonism

I know exactly why they risked their lives. They had no choice. They settled the knobs country of present day Tennessee and the Carolinas. The did not take sides until the British invaded the area and they were forced to defend themselves. Look up the battles of King’s Mountain, Cowpens, and Gifford’s Court House.

There is always a choice. They could have surrendered.

Yes.

Why do you disagree? See if you can give a lucid answer.
.

Really. If that’s not a suggestion that I commit suicide then what is it? Are you asking why God has not struck me down, or why the rest of society does not lynch me? What?

You are not being intellectually honest about your nihilist view of life, you espouse.

What part of my purpose comes from ME and not from SKY DADDY don’t you get?

If life has no purpose, your individual life has no purpose. What don't you understand?

I already said that. Possible but not probable.

So it is possible there is a purpose according to the design of your big sky daddy.

You tell me.

Why should I?

Why, absolutely nothing. I thought I made that clear years ago. It’s a definite possibility.

Not related to my posts.

I never referred to her in any such way. I assume you are referring to my statement that I get laid a lot.

Only in your delusional and selfish world can you come up that I implied woman cannot or do not enjoy sex. Total non-sequitur.

Did your Daddy ever have the “little talk” with you? The one about the birds and the bees

I learned the science of the birds and business from the exhibits at the Museum of Science and industry, at a very early age.

Just shows the level of his selfishness.

Just like he rather consume precious natural resources, which are vitally needed for future generations. I wonder how much damage he has done to the earth through his contribution to man made global warming.

Are you sure that he was only referring to his wife with that comment? I'm not.

Well he did post he would never refer to her in that manner:

I never referred to her in any such way.

So one could assume he is talking about another woman. Maybe his wife doesn't fit his prerequisite of enjoying sex, at least not with him

espouse v. to take up and support as a cause.

I do not "espouse" nihilism. I do not support it as a cause. I accept it. In popular parlance I've "gotten over it." I do not indulge in wishful thinking, which is what religion is.

So "making love" is acceptable but "getting laid" is not. Yet both mean the same thing. Why is that? Why is one acceptable but the other is not. And of course "f*****g" also means the same thing but I would probably get chastised by PA if I used the actual letters instead of the "*". Why is that?

They might mean the same thing to you, but in my world the latter expression objectifies and depreciates the uniqueness of partner while subtracting from one of the highest possible expressions of personal emotional intimacy.

You accept it? That means you you believe it. Stop trying to split hairs where there are no hairs to split.

Maybe you don't understand because you are uncouth.

You're putting me on, aren't you Sport? You can't have that drag-knuckle neanderthal type of thinking, can you?.....Apparently so.

Brother Actor brings to mind Goethe's classic "Faust".After a long and esteemed career as a scholar Faust finds himself in the grip of Existential nihilism...."And here I am at last a very fool,with useless learning curst,no wiser than at first..." The train of physical science will always be stopped at the ocean of metaphysics. From there each individual must find their own way forward....or not.
