Henry, you heart is in the right place but you are no anthropologist or historian

Yeah, I ain't real impressed with your credentials either, sister.

utopia for everyone!!!

I hope not.


be sure to give your guns to your government masters...

When hell freezes.


I see dead leftists

One can hope.


but history never repeats...

Sure it does cuz we keep hirin' the same fuckers over and over and over and...

Do you understand people once did hang animals in a spirit of retribution for their bad behaviour? And this punishment for an evil animal was considered to be justice? What I understand is that, today, there are folks who'll beat the hell out of dogs and torture cats, just for shits & grins. If you...

An armed population does not make the society crazy. It makes the society more polite than it otherwise would be.

Over here our local government has firearms retailers listed as "essential" businesses. Yes. Our society is insane. Is the capacity to self-defend, is the desire to self-defend, insane? It's not like you're going to shoot the virus, is it? No, but in civil unrest, I'll damn well shoot the looters b...

Free will is meaningless when there is no evil. Without the possibility of evil, good has no meaning; without choice, there's only the peace of the assembly line, or the grave. I'd rather see less suffering in the world than be that devoted to "free will" So, you favor robot-world . Ever see the st...

Police in the UK have stopped people buying fags, booze and easter eggs as they are not "essential".

Is the capacity to self-defend, is the desire to self-defend, insane?

mebbe cuz in removin' all challenge, removin' all choice, you're rendered impotent, useless, and turned into a freakin' robot, or worse, a pet

On the nose, as usual.

your government masters will decide what your "good" choices are. rejoice in your citizenship -Imp A possible silver linin' from all this commie flu nonsense is more folks will see how truly incompetent the gov is. Disillusioned, such folks may be less inclined to take orders and more inclined to g...

Who wants there to be bad choices? Why not only good choices? If you were living in Syria during the height of the bombs dropping, wouldn't you rather that there be no such choice as to rain bombs on you? Would you care all that much about Putin and Assad having the "free will" to "choose" to bomb ...

Is that really what you think of good people-people without evil in them? That's a very depressing view. people choosin ' a noble path (the way it is) is way different than your suggestion of god eradicatin' evil, cuz in the eradicatin ' of evil he eliminates choice...if a man chooses to do good, h...

Why wouldn't it be good for me? mebbe cuz in removin' all challenge, removin' all choice, you're rendered impotent, useless, and turned into a freakin' robot, or worse, a pet Is that really what you think of good people-people without evil in them? That's a very depressing view. people choosin ' a ...

Why should I not want to eliminate evils? Don't you? Can we not agree that evil is bad and should be prevented as much as possible? Or why do you think I should want ANY evil in the world? So you believe that if God were good, he would have also eliminated ALL the world's evils, from the virus plag...

At any cost? That's your call. You get to decide what you want & what you're willin' to do to get it. That, in part, is what it means to be free , and it's at the heart of Free Enterprise. (State) Socialism robs you of choice. (State) Capitalism attempts to direct your choosing. With Free Enterpris...

Parsimony, when in doubt: simplest explanation is a common virus jumped species, the means of the jump bein' wet market sales. Well, whatever the truth is, those wet markets are super nasty, and they shouldn't exist at all. That much we can safely say. If Fu Manflu coulda stay confined to China, I'...
