Re: The USA and Israel

Up-thread I suggested *you don't have to choose sides . Now, I suggest you ought not believe everything you read . Strangers, with agendas, are keen to turn your head this way and that. They say it's A vs B: pick one! . Mebbe they aren't the clean, direct conduits of fact they claim to be. * you be...

During all the beer virus nonsense, dub was gung-ho for having folks like me (those who wouldn't mask up, lock down or accept the jab) box-car'd to camps for isolation, re-education, and whatnot.

I took him seriously.

Re: One nation is a solution for war

What constitutes proper education ? Proper education is a sort of education that not only teaches the students, physics, chemistry, and the like but also teaches them to have critical thinking, be aware of their rights, ... *Who administers it?

Re: One nation is a solution for war

Well, yes, there will be a conflict of interest but that does not lead to mass murder of individuals as we saw in all wars. Social Democracy. What is about social democracy and all people in one nation that precludes the mass murder of war? That is proper education that precludes the mass murder of...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

Is it possible to apply Christian principles to (everything?)
The christianist certainly believes so; the Christian, not so much.

Re: One nation is a solution for war

Well, one nation means one government. I don't understand why it should be evil. It may not be. That's not the point. If power is centralized in a government, evil or not, that government can do things it can't do if power is invested in a number of places or spread around. Centralized power is con...

Re: One nation is a solution for war

I don't think that the centralization of power will be convenient for a cruel government. Why do you think so? Where, or into what , do you think the power is centralized, if not the government, evil or not? Well, one nation means one government. I don't understand why it should be evil. It may not...

Re: One nation is a solution for war

All the war is the result of the conflict of interest between nations. One nation and the problem of conflict is resolved. So there will be peace. or the centralization of power will be convenient for tyranny. And/or. A kind of peace, a kind of war on the citizens. I don't think that the centraliza...

Re: True Story of the Day

I never get tired from the thrill of a good debate. I used to feel that way. Done rode the horse too many times now. It ain't fun anymore. All I got to show for any of it is piles. Maybe if you had 'won' one, then you might have got something else other than just piles, and then you may still be wa...
