You keep harping on about providing examples of supplementation to pure reason. I've provided valid examples that I am sure most philosophers would verify are valid. The best example I have provided is the scientific method; this enterprise REQUIRES empiricism along with rationalism (pure reason), and you have completely ignored this. You want me to provide you with answers to all areas that require supplemention; go and research for yourself.
I get the impression that you're being obstinate for the sake of argument. You could at least attempt to engage in the debate instead of replying with flippant and brief responses, which basically results in me repeating myself over topics that have already been covered.
I haven't ignored you, I've simply reminded you that reason cannot be removed from that example. I don't have any problem with empiricism either, I find the two work wonderfully together. Would you lean on empiricism as somehow justifying theism?
(you're repeating yourself after I've explained why what you wrote is unsatisfying to me, so I hardly see what room there would be to bitch about repeating yourself. You could have offered something else)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
