Re: Favourite movie scenes

Brutal, but in a funny, civil way.

Re: Civility

... my point that the more civilized (technologically advanced) we become, the less civilly we behave. - A lack of civility creates limitations, which is often the intent of incivility. - Limitations can be severe enough to cancel out guest speakers at a university. - It follows that civility trans...

Re: Inner-Rebellion: Cause of Free-Will

Okay I'm done now...probably add more later. Have fun! Interesting. Formal, non-intellectual, seated meditation breaks the continuity of the inner dialogue. Once the continuity is broken, stepping back into the stream of thought reveals the arbitrary nature of the old continuity. One steps into a n...

Re: Creation - Evolution

Does not evolution suggest a particular type of change, and not all change? I would say yes, it does, good point Walker. 🙂 Evolution says that one species can change into another species. What about, race? https://img.patriotpost.us/01HRV4ZVJ5VBR8HMJQ1SW9H873.jpeg?w=1024&dpr=1&q=75

Re: Civility

- Fighting words that are not uncivil are threats, sometimes delivered with a smile. - This is why people sometimes ask, "Are you threatening me?" when civility is masking the threat. - Less sincere people may ask that question for other reasons, such as a tactic to distract. This is an i...

Re: Apology to Alexis Jacobi

Not quite. - Gary's need to apologize is his own need. - The apology is a request for, forgiveness. - Gary perceives that he must be forgiven, by you. - You deny him forgiveness by invalidating his need. - This denies him what he needs. - And, why would you do that? - Because you need to tell Gary y...

Re: The Democrat Party Hates America

Well, Jesus was a martyr for a divine cause.

Trump, through no intent of his own, is a martyr for a just cause.

The facts are correct, any mockery concerning the facts is your flavour of twisted.

Re: Apology to Alexis Jacobi

Not quite right: no apology was offered because none were needed. Perhaps you should apologize to Gary for attempting to invalide his personal, introspective perceptions by saying no apology was necessary to whatever he's referencing, although as a sensitive and kindly soul he likely thinks no apol...
