Re: How wokeness is torpedoing the solidarity with Ukraine
The Ukraine War is a horrible war. It's also an arranged war. The American government announced it intended to have Ukraine apply to enter NATO, which it soon did, knowing full well that this would provoke Putin into action. They said they knew that at least a dozen years before they did it; and te...

Re: philosophical quest and modernity

Re: Iranians want Israel to bomb the Regime
Mate, that sounds like the start of a song...any musicians want to add some lyrics? The Beach Boys beat you to it. Well my version was based on "Row row row your boat (gently down the stream..)" A version from Blackadder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jnk1CvASsak “So far I’ve done wrote ...

Re: Feel free to agree or disagree
If you feel free, then why would you want to know if you are "really" free or not? You, Gary Childress, would want to know in order to determine whether or not you are living in a "fool’s paradise". It’s like the joke about the guy who loves the freedom of walking on the beach w...

Re: Iranians want Israel to bomb the Regime
An Iranian explains why Israel shoud attack Iran https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuF8Qg7FmNI&t=1183s Didn't watch the video, but I figure ... - Iran was a modern culture in the old days, and young folks there probably still hear the legends and yearn for that kind of freedom again. - Interestin...

Mate, that sounds like the start of a song...any musicians want to add some lyrics? The Beach Boys beat you to it. * You got me to thinkin', though, while in another thread. Could you put a second verse to this, or at least give it bit of thought, perhaps a chorus or a hook? Slow Blues To be … Or n...

Re: Feel free to agree or disagree
Berkeley final say, only God can experience the 'real' primary and secondary qualities; but I assert God is illusory not real Did he say if God can experience the ‘real’ primary and secondary qualities simultaneously, and if so, did he conclude through theory or experience that a human can also exp...

Re: Stunning portrait
It looks like someone who's been exposed to ultraviolet radiation while wearing goggles.
Did Bob Ross ever do any portrait work?
Animation is in the diagonals. The two diagonals in this draw the eye, and they're not by accident. Actually, three. Sash, arms, and gown creases.

Re: Islamic expansionism does not work the way you probably thinks it works
I once read that back when Islam was the cutting edge of culture and science, so to speak, any infidel who didn't toe the line was heavily taxed, so there was a choice there: whether to pay the tax or pay the price for resistance. When the price to pay is disproportionate to the culturally defined ...

Re: Stunning portrait

Re: Feel free to agree or disagree
If you feel free, are you really free? If you feel free, then why would you want to know if you are "really" free or not? Excellent question "gary childress". And what Age's answer to the "excellent", ageless question? (Should the comma be inside the quotes, or outside?)
