Re: How responsible is the US for the rise of ISIS?

For Fucks sake. "EVIL" is not a causative force you dingbat. Evil is what YOU CALL, something you don't like. If you don't understand this you are never going to understand the situation. As far as millions of Muslims are concerned the USA is the the EVIL, with as much credibility as you ...

Re: Russell on the Value of Philosophy

I like the idea that we can move philosophically. Time can’t move truth, and neither can man. Truth don’t dance. Philosophy is there to move man to truth in lieu of being dragged to it by suffering, if one but thinks. Minds discover the same truths that are always there to be found, no matter the l...

Re: The symbols of language

If my memory serves me correctly, the letter D arose from the delta. Here's a video that goes into 32 symbols that are used throughout Europe's caves: http://www.ted.com/talks/genevieve_von_petzinger_why_are_these_32_symbols_found_in_ancient_caves_all_over_europe PhilX Gracias.

Re: Music

The good doctor will soothe your obvious fears. If you don't want to click the link, go to youtube and search the description. Takes you right to it. Amazing. The opening riff is cause enough to follow either the direct path to the doctor, or to search for yourself. I Don't Wanna Know - Dr. John htt...

That way you don't have to recognize it.

Re: How responsible is the US for the rise of ISIS?

I'm reminded of an interview I saw on TV with "Dubya" just before the most recent US invasion of Iraq which he ordered. So tunnel-visioned was this fuckwit that he seriously believed that the US military were going to be welcomed with garlands of flowers and pretty girls kissing the brave...

Re: How responsible is the US for the rise of ISIS?

Thank God. And thanks for the opportunity to highlight context. Did you ever wonder why people as a rule usually don't voice the worst? It's not because of fear. * The people that led the attacks on Paris last Friday were French, Belgian and British. The perps of 9/11 were Saudi-Arabians - the ALLIE...

Re: How responsible is the US for the rise of ISIS?

I puzzled by what you mean by "Try to kill me, fuck you". What can you mean? No one is trying to kill you: that's just childish paranoia. If you’re actually serious, then you have an infantile mind. The thread is about nations, simply check the thread title. Pay attention to the realities...

Re: TV Propaganda

The Cain Mutiny and A Few Good Men are two military movies that tell the same story in completely different ways. In one, the boss is betrayed, and those who betray him suffer a moral whippin. In the other, the boss is revealed to be Evil Incarnate, and a raving maniac, and quite possibly insane. I...

Re: How responsible is the US for the rise of ISIS?

It is just such infantile notions of good and evil which drive the whole sorry agenda for this sort of mess in the first place. Instead of dropping bombs on people we should be dropping smartphones on them because in the long run only education will save them from their oppressors. It has ever been...
