Re: Ukraine Crisis
What is the old saying, things change but ever remain the same? Once the old colonialism of the British and European countries enslaved the world being the ultimate powers of the time. With the first world war the power started to shift and British power transformed into American power and American...

Re: Ukraine Crisis
Nope, I still say to the extent that Putin isn't Hitler, let him bring the Soviet Union back together sans Marxism. You're wrong, he's killing people, innocent children, he deserves to die for his crimes against humanity. Yeah, that is no less a legitimate point of view than mine. Only I suggest th...

Re: Abortion
I've come to realize the agenda behind making abortion illegal. It's a known fact that in the USA it's usually poorer, ignorant people that sign up for the military. 'They' know that unwanted children usually end up in poorer, under-educated, dysfunctional families, or in foster homes, often under t...

Re: your penalty box
I love being on peoples ignore list, it means my bite, hit the bone; my sting, made their ears ring. Look, I'm a stickler for kicking exclusivity in the teeth, and I herald inclusivity, I'm its hero. So if your exclusive in your thinking, watch out because I bite. I'm gonna bite your thinking, your ...

Re: What could make morality objective?
Okay. let's unpack it. If morality is independent then where is it? I don't understand what you are asking. Lets unpack gravity. Gravity is independent. Where is it? Unpacking stuff is reductionism. That's a misguided approach for emergent phenomena. Where is climate? On our planet! Where is life? ...

Re: What could make morality objective?
"and still doing it until Going for the One." I actually quite like that album. Have you heard Relayer? I own every Yes Studio album, and every Rush Studio album, and many of their live albums too. In my heart, I've always been a Progressive Rocker! And I always will be, it's where much o...

"Sorry - I should have said up to Tormato, which I thought was mostly shite" Shit I like Tormato too. I don't think it's gonna work out between us, Peter, and I really think we should start talking to other people. Okay. It surely was a jest! At my expense?? Either way it really wouldn't ...

Re: What could make morality objective?
Thanks, Flash. Sort of. Rosy and flowery? If we want equal well-being for everyone - and I think we should - we have to overcome the things that get in the way - including the supposed need for economic inequality - which is just capitalist ideology at work: there must be richer and poorer people, ...

Re: What could make morality objective?
A woman owns anything in her body, just as you own anything in yours. A woman belongs to herself; the baby in her womb belongs to himself. Neither, without just cause, has a claim on the other. You are right in principle with the above but I would not agree with your views and 'approach' to abortio...
