Says the guy unable to look for himself.....As usual, a vacuous claim with nothing to support it except for your own assertions!
... took another year before you got talking turkey againamazing what you can find on the internet, while waiting to head off for Christmas lunch.lol
Philosopher Harry Frankfurt famously drew a distinction between lies and what he termed "bull****".
A lie is an untruth, but it is still tied to a fact. It is the corruption of the fact. bull**** is speech with no basis in fact, in truth.
Not in the English language, that is if you are correctly using English.A lie can also be an honest mistake, misinterpretation of the situation or simply failing to distinguish a soundly based expectation from hard fact whereas BS is always BS.
That's actually quite funny coming from the suppository (sic) of all Guardianista "truth"The difference between lies and Bullxhit
Understand the difference between lies and bull**** — it matters
Philosopher Harry Frankfurt famously drew a distinction between lies and what he termed "bull****".
A lie is an untruth, but it is still tied to a fact. It is the corruption of the fact. bull**** is speech with no basis in fact, in truth. Many of us think we live in an age of lies, when in fact we live in an age of bull****.
bull**** is like belief, its embrace affords no room for questioning.
Frankfurt's notion of bull**** can help us better understand the nature of modern politics, advertising, news and even science (think climate change denial or anti-vaxxers).
It's important for the future because it underpins the futility of trying to convince people with facts alone, because if you're persuaded by bull****, facts don't matter.

Well here we go again, underlining your very words Bas.Wayne given your total disregard of reality I would have thought you could appreciate the finer points of difference between deliberate or inadvertent lies/misrepresentations /whatever and people just opening their mouth and spilling out utter BS most of the time.

Margaret Court also said “God made us that way.”From the article:
"And you know with that LGBT, they'll wish they never put the T on the end of it because, particularly in women's sports, they're going to have so many problems".
So that was the condemns trans athletes comment, well it seems like a pretty sensible comment to me, if they end up winning all the money in women's tennis there will be hell to pay IMO. So to speak.
I agree with your last comment, but I also think Margaret Court should be allowed to have her own opinion, as we do.Margaret Court also said “God made us that way.”
Please think through the logic of that comment.
It implies that this magical God either forgot s/he made us this way, does not care s/he did, does not care about the consequences, or really intended that people can be transgender after they are born.
In other words, those like Court who ascribe to the idea that God has a plan for us all must have included all of us in that plan to begin.
Of course the corollary is that God is fictional and we choose our own destiny.
Nothing stops people saying stupid things.I agree with your last comment, but I also think Margaret Court should be allowed to have her own opinion, as we do.
Also she should be allowed to voice them, to a congregation which want to hear her opinion, without the press trying to whip up hysteria.
It is a bit unfortunate, I don't like anyone trying to push their beliefs on me, whether they be religious, sexual or anything else. They can believe what they like and they can say it to anyone who wants to listen, but I'm not interested.Nothing stops people saying stupid things.
Nothing stops people from saying that others say stupid things.
As a West Australian I idolised her in the era she played and would have loved to see her become a role model to women in sport instead of a female Folau.
We are all different, but it does not give others a right to disrespect us, for any reason, and that's what the likes of Court and Folau have been doing.Just my opinion, but there are way too many bullies out there at the moment and they are getting away with way too much.
The more the bullies get away with, the more the boundaries are pushed and more take up bullying.
It becomes the prefered option, because at the moment it is extremely successful, eventually it will have to be curbed.
Just my opinion.
If it wasn't given airplay, no one would know anything about it, except for the few that visit the Church they are in and probably hold the same belief.We are all different, but it does not give others a right to disrespect us, for any reason, and that's what the likes of Court and Folau have been doing.
It's your opinion that it is the Folaus and Courts of the world who are being "bullied," and it is the opinion of those they speak ill of who in fact consider it is they who are being bullied.
This is the 21st century and we still have people who can command media attention to spread their bile on those they do not understand.
You have a warped view of who is doing the bullying and have never had to live your life facing regular scorn or persecution. And here you are happy condone celebrities who abide by an ancient book of mostly fiction while suggesting that people who call out the real bullies are "getting away with it."
