Hubris: a personality trait that describes someone who has extreme pride, arrogance, or dangerous overconfidence.

I guess I'm one of those brainless, ignorant idiots. What is the proper way to dispose of used tea bags?

What is the "this" that you are referring to?

Your brain has some unique wiring! 😂

So... The 13th lurks in December but not November?

I can't for the life of me figure out why everyone is getting so excited. There are drones in the sky. There are things in the sky that people think are drones but may be planes or helicopters. None of them seem to be doing anything harmful. Since most people seem to think they are drones, why get excited? Drones are nothing new. Next we are going to hear there are birds in the sky, or at least they look like birds, so the military needs to do something about it!

Can't we do that already? What is the benefit of your new system?

Can you give me an example of your new form of philosophy in action?

Agreed. This is not a blog. Troof doesn't get to just ignore everyone's comments just because they don't agree with parts of his version of utopia.

So as long as your young daughter isn't aware (and thus won't be hurt) it is alright for anyone who wishes to watch her take a shower. And as long as nobody sees and he doesn't get hurt, a caretaker can sexually assault the comatose patient in his care. And as long as she doesn't know, I can break into a woman's apartment and sleep in her bed when she is out of town. And a million others...

I don't know. What do you do when the results don't match up? Paper ballots are prone to questionable votes. Some people don't trust all electronic voting because they cannot physically see the vote. I suspect electronic is potentially the better option but there will always be those who question the results.

It often is if the difference in votes is below a certain threshold. A manual count was done in Florida after the Bush/Gore Presidential election in the US. It was a disaster due to issues like "hanging chads".

What has this article got to do with being asexual?

You seem not to understand the definition of the word "hope". It does not mean "believe everything will be ok".

Except of course where it is not needed in this world.

IMO your god is a douche. Who in the hell would prefer his children to be scared and sad?!?! Is that how you want your children to grow up? I've never before met someone with depression who said "Screw the meds, I'd rather be sad all the time!!" You and I have completely different views on how we want to go through life.

Sounds like a pretty good trade to me. And yes, I think god would be very proud of people for doing that. It is one of the major, and tangible, benefits of religion.

Do you think you can respond without sounding like a pompous asshole?

If you have no free will then you cannot decide how you want to feel or try to do what you think is good, or decide not to become a monster.

Dig in your heels. I'll move on.

The OP did not specify if the missiles are nuclear or non-nuclear. Why is your assumption correct and mine is wrong? I'm not sure why you don't feel the OP needs some clarification. Surely it has confused more than one person here.

Just because you don't think you should feel guilty doesn't mean you won't feel guilty. Emotions are not something humans invented that can be turned on or off just by deciding to do so. Push your mother down the stairs then tell me if you are able to suppress your feelings of guilt.

Yes, thanks for the reminder. I'm unsure though why you are reminding me. I don't think you can assume this is about the 1962 crisis without further clarification from the OP. @swansont seems to be saying this only refers to 1962, in which case your (and my) answer may not be correct.
