Philosophy - December 2007

Why do some philosophers think that determinism is incompatible with free will. Why do other think it is necessary for moral responsibility?

sitting here on internet behind my pc. thinking of the world today. what has happend to so many people? all the hatred,war, insecurity. dont even know what to believe in these days. so many of us go to work everyday to earn money and spend it try be more financially secure but does it really make anyone happy? so much of the ocean hasn't even been discovered and i worry more of what will i do to make money in the future. doesn't anyone worry of leaving the world with so many questions we will never know. if we only use so little of our brain what can we really do with our full potential? imagine working all ur life just making money for a happy family and one day passing away and nothing does anyone feel the same? please no stupid answers like what drug are u using cause really this just comes without anything just wonder.

I was wondering if anyone had any information about the disagreement between the two regarding the status of language and evolution?

And more importantly - did the disagreement go anywhere or did they just ignore each others comments?

Is it just Christians who think suicide is a big sin. I do NOT defend it, I'm only asking, if you believe in abortion, how can you be against suicide. At least you are just doing it to yourself.

In Japan suicide is respected and not critisized.

I guess Arabs have suicidal pilots too.

Do all Christian churches think suicide is a hugh sin? Or is it just Roman Catholics?

I figure, with murder/suicides including school shootings and family killings, it would be OK with me if the suicide part was done promptly, avoiding the murder part!!!

I know a few women who tried suicide, and one who succeeded. As an ex-RC I wonder if that might have sent her to hell. Why? Didn't God give us free will. Wasn't death, at THAT time, just a personal choise?

I heard of a test to see if you'll get altzeimers. If you went through the hell of your parents' altzeimers, might suicide by a kindness to your family?

Christ and Christian martyrs went bravely to their deaths "BY CHOICE?"!

I just moved into my new house afew months ago and seem to have some bad luck with the new items I've bought..first my TV broke down before I'd even watched it, my friend broke my cup and bowl. I broke my new kettle when cleaning it, my heater broke down, i bought a new one which burnt my new airbed when i was pumping it for a friend. my bathroom tiles just fell off. surely something must be wrong somewhere. what do you think?
