How do people who believe in free will argue with the argument of mental retardation?
If everyone can be accontable for their actions and something like behaviour is ultimately the product of your sheer willpower, then you'd also have to say that people who suffer with down's syndrome or autism are like that because they're lazy faggot bums.
By saying that they have a special condition and therefore they're willpower cannot be used, you're admitting that the envorinment will speak louder than willpower alone, and therefore, if the envorinment is stronger than the self (assuming the self even exists to start with, which I'd say it doesn't), then we indeed live in a deterministic Universe.
Tell me freewillers, how do you respond?

Why should I answer? I'd imagine that you're very familiar with the concept of mental retardation yourself. You clearly know more about it than me.

I'm not sure I've really heard much about the Egyptian's conception of the "end of the world" at least compared to Norse beliefs, The Abrahamic religions, and Zoroastrianism. They seemed much more interested in the afterlife of the individual than all of that.

we've all heard about american and CIA involvement in afghanistan and pakistan during the 1980s which helped drive the soviet union out of afghanistan. what we've never heard of is KGB involvement in the south asia. For most of the mid 20th century, india, afghanistan and to a certain extent, pakistan were ruled under leftist socialist governments which were close to the soviet union. What I've always wondered is if whether there was any soviet or kgb involvement in the region to strengthen the foothold of leftists and bring them into power. Did the KGB take advantage of sympathetic leftist governments in the region? If they did, why do we hear so little about it?

We hear so little about it because ultimately the CIA managed to outmaneuver the KGB in South Asia, meaning that at this moment the legacy of CIA involvement is alive and well whilst the KGB's involvement has largely been stamped out.

No, he was just retarded.

No he was literally (using the word correctly) retarded and ran his country even further into the ground
There's this awful trend in post-colonial political science trying to present him as some sort of evil machiavellian mastermind, but he wasn't, he was just a retard who never stopped making bad decisions

No, but he may have been retarded

Imagine you are born. You get to live life for 30 minutes, then you die. Basically nothing has been processed in your head, nothing has been experinced, and now it's all over for the rest of time, with no chance of coming back. You will have contibuted nothing but sadness for your parents, which will have rectified their depression by having another baby anyways.
Just a thought.

You got the Brazilian flag. Portuguese did settle quite a bit. They even made Brazil a kingdom at one time, the capital of the empire being there when the royal family moved there.
There were also many Portuguese residents in the African colonies, which were forced to return to great damage of the Portuguese economy which just couldn't provide labor for so many people. Portugal remained a country of emigrants.

What would be the ethical thing to do in this version of the trolley dilemma?

I guess, you steer towards the building which you know only has 1 dude inside?????
>>
>>1245051
it's not revealed which one has the one person, just that one does.. which goes without saying, which is why no ethicist is impressed with it.
>>
>>1245076
When you picked a building at random, you had a 1/3 chance of choosing the one with 5 persons in it, and 2/3 of choosing one with 1 person in it.
The revelations means you don't know if the building you're running into has 5 people, but you do know at least one of the other buildings has 1 people in it.
Since it's the opposite of the classic Monty Hall problem (you're trying to AVOID the 1/3 outcome, instead of trying to find it) you shouldn't switch tracks, lest you increase your chances of crashing into 5 people.

Let's discuss the concept of hell according to various religions like Buddhism and Islam and Christianity and whoever else.
I'll start with mine, other faiths feel free to put up theirs and discuss.
In Orthodox Christianity, There is Hades (a Greek translation of Sheol) and Gehenna, both are concepts from Judaism. Hades is where everyone generally went before Christ, it's not torment, but it's not paradise. When Christ died, he went to Hades, and freed the righteous. Gehenna, the "lake of fire", is not "separation from God", rather it is the same thing as heaven, which is becoming fully aware of God's grace sustaining you, feeling it very acutely, the strongest feeling you can imagine. If you hate God (imagine relying on someone you hate to support you) or if you are ashamed in his presence, this extremely unpleasant. God is described in these terms in the Bible (Hebrews 12:29--remember, God's grace in Orthodox is God himself, his "energies", which are immanent, as opposed to his essence which is transcendent and beyond all experience and knowledge of any being saved God). This experience, for those who love God and are no longer in shame, is wonderful, they delight in it, this is heaven, and here God's grace is described as light; heaven intersects with the physical, only we can't see it, but for those who have attained it, the light radiates out of them (Moses had to wear a veil because of this), and that is what halos represent.
