I don't know off the top of my head - but I will say it's more likely that publishers don't want to go around annoying their most passionate fans for something inherently harmless. Ostensibly you'd think that you could apply that same logic here; but for whatever reason, the copyright holders did not think this mod…

That's all fine and well, but you misinterpreted Aquinas' philosophy, which is the only thing I am concerned about here. In sum, he was not laughing at people who were going to (a real or imagined) hell.

Haha, Aquinas at least is not talking about a "walking-around-giddy-because-you-think-your-living-cohorts-are-going-to-hell" kind of joy.

I am not talking about the international scene, but rather the situation inside China itself. My family is Chinese/Taiwanese, and while the cultural elements you are talking about true (vs. Western Culture), there is a huge divide between how Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese Chinese view marriage, despite both sides…

The subjective opinion is irrelevant - truth doesn't require you, me or anyone else to recognize it to be true in order for it to be true. If everyone on the planet believed that hooking up was morally wrong - that would not make it wrong. If everyone on the planet believed that hooking up was morally correct - that…

I'm pretty sure science is fine regardless of what either of you say.

It's the intense societal competition. The same underlying factors may drive matchmaking, but the need for efficiency pushes China to a purer model - and ideals like love, or even basic compatibility, are not really efficient when your number one goal is social and economic competitiveness. In that respect, it is…

It is wrong for the same reason any other indulgence is wrong; it represents a lapse of self-control, and an elevation of gratifying the self over gratifying what is right, which is ever the harder and less pleasant path to take. And because it is less pleasant and much harder, it requires development of superior…

We should not judge others for partaking in lascivious behavior, but we should still condemn the lascivious behavior. Really, you don't know the circumstances, contexts and reasons as to why they partake in it, so you never have a complete picture from which to judge them for it.

Gangnam is district in Seoul famous for trendiness, materialism, etc. The video is parodying consumption culture, etc.

Even if evolutionary psych were 100% true, it doesn't justify a single thing, because people have the capacity to rule themselves by their rationality. Anyone who tries to justify their behavior via evolutionary psych is wrong - not because evolutionary psych is wrong (it may or may not be; but this is irrelevant) -…

Your anger is justified for actual circumstances of "whiting out," but in this case, the proper term is just "history."

Yeah, I'm not sure why the author laid it out this way. Very ineffective and prone to misunderstanding.

Yeah, I agree. I'm really not sure why he laid it out that way. To get a reaction or something?

That's not his point. That's the point of the author he is critiquing in that section (Hanna Rosin, "The End of Men"), whom he ultimately disagrees with.

The really tragic thing in all of this is the fact that celebrity endorsements are actually relevant to product advertising.

I would not fuck all my female friends. And I try very hard to assume none of them want to bone me. But I do have to try.

That is pretty impressive, although I fear to hear about the aftermath.

If you were truly a god, then who could forbid you? But if someone can forbid you, as you yourself complain, then you must accept that you are not a god.
