On the whole I thought France deserved to win. They totally dominated the second half and even the commentators were panicking a bit – it was all “can we hold out…” etc.

Steven Gerrad will be holding his head in his hands for a while, that pass back gave France the win.

While it is true that the ...

:eek: I am impressed.

I don't actually think I am a good judge on these things since I am not all geek myself.

I am half intellectual, half geek and half rock god. Making me a 3/2 person.

I wish I had an Ipod. :(

You say that because disagreement about the earths shape doesn’t have actual influence on the earths shape, then the same is true for morality discussion.
Well – I can’t really see or agree with this line of thought.
Dissagreement in morals between groups, means that the morals aren't shared, and ...

I agree case modding with see-through panels and all that is pretty bad.

I am however modding my computer a bit at the moment.

I am putting in super quiet fans to replace all the old ones. I am sick and tired of that computer sounding like a jet engine.

I think you need to consider what a culture is. I suppose a culture is something like a group of people that to some point share the same ideas. But how many people does it take to make a culture? and what makes cultures so special that they - and not other people - can determine what is morally ...

I agree that there is a difference between physical claims and moral claims Xandax.

My point was just that disagreement should not be taken as a proof that there is no truth about a claim – be it about the physical world or a moral claim.

Some posters argued that the fact that some cultures disagree about what is morally right or wrong shows that there can be no such thing as morality.

I don’t think we can conclude that because some people don’t agree about something then it follows that there is no truth about the matter.

I find it hard to understand those that idolise Regan but then my political opinions are diametrically opposed to his. Everything becomes respectable with age – and I feel that some of that must be playing a part here.

This is a common occurrence where I live and what we normally do is summon the fire elemental then close the door and bar it or hold it closed.

I think that if there is such a thing as morality it must be universal - meaning that it must apply to everybody.

It wouldn't be very moral if it held for some and not for others.
