:grin: Not a term I am familiar with? The only horses I have heard of with feathers are mythical flying ones like Pegasus, but google explained it to ...
But they did know a lot less about 'the big picture,' the planet they lived on and the universe they exist within. They had no notion of 'pale blue do...
I often misinterpret @"180 Proof", as I don't have his in-depth knowledge of academic philosophy but I don't think he is concerned with or particularl...
Thanks for having a look at it. You should watch the vid about Ravish Kumar that @"Existential Hope" posted. I think you will find it a very familiar ...
Hope filled lyrics! The woman in the video, played her role well. A dark, stormy, tear filled night, but tomorrow is another day. I have watched some ...
I think the fact that these national horror stories are happening in so many countries right now, suggests, that our species is approaching another ma...
Just finished watching the doc. Ravish Kumar is a brave man. The documentary confirmed some of my worse fears about the Modi mob. It's a very common r...
You have a lot of inner vitriol to deal with. Me getting banned from TPF will not help you with your general state of mind. It would/will be a very mi...
I was not being rude, just factual. If you find my responses to you, not to your taste or too harsh for your sensitivities, then don't include my ID i...
I had a look at the links you recommended. Some wanted me to accept cookies so I just left them. But I read about the Persian influence on the name Hi...
I don't think the point you make is a strong one or an important one. Argentina was a reference to it's silver. The name Cuba may come from the Taíno ...
It might have, hundreds of years ago, but not now. I understand your 'use' of the gods as folklore which has value in it's representations of human di...
Hey! I am down with da kids round about Glesga, Scotland, Britain and da world!! Rather than strong unionists dying out naturally, (I think they refor...
I appreciate your willingness (or your sarcasm) in offering me such a dictatorial status, but I will refuse it, as I am a democratic socialist, who re...
Why not have a referendum on the issue? Do those who would have the right to vote in such, know enough about it? Would the current Indian authorities,...
It's interesting. I am having a so far, brief discussion with @"Vera Mont" on the (now lounge) thread, 'Culture is Critical,' regarding the fact that ...
Good to know that you will do what you can to help. I continue to keep putting a sticky label of doomster on you and then pulling it off again as many...
'Great' Britain originally just referred to an area that was bigger than that occupied by the ancient Britons/Celtic Britons. It was also a way to dis...
I understand and you are correct, we need to all become more enlightened, but far too many of us are just not there yet, so as Ocean Colour Scene sang...
I just hope that's not true as I have to believe that we can do so much better, than our bloody history exemplifies. We have achieved incredible, inge...
Had to look that one up. A paraphrase of Heidegger I assume. Not a guy I know much about, but I am trying to learn a little more about the philosopher...
Not anytime soon, I hope SNP declare the next general election as a dry run on an independent Scotland for the Scottish voters. If the SNP state that ...
Yep, that was her plan from the start. She wanted revenge for the unions crippling the Heath government. Her engineered miners strike was well planned...
@"Vera Mont", @"Athena" I get emails from various groups based in the USA, regarding the work they do. This is only because I donate to one or two gro...
Just keep nurturing your fellows guys and keep your dissent against those who prioritise personal profits and power over people, very high. I predict ...
True socialism is therefore inevitable imo, as they will be back ad infinitum, until the better global human society we know can exist, does exist. I ...
It has been ever thus. The historical exemplifications offer overwhelming evidence. But we always come back, in every new generation. I like a quote f...
No, I didn't, it would have been a superfluous addition imo. The position I hold, is that political gangsters are unacceptable, no matter what 'honour...
Damn good words sir! Encore! Encore! If only all who have the right to vote, could really understand the points you made. The horrific right wing gang...
Your intention is fine, if a little too rigid imo. I think: Is without purpose, if that's all you do! I did a lot of weekend pub/disco, adventure/indu...
You're welcome Athena, but I think Tim Booth should get all the credit, for writing such good lyrics. I found this wee website, with this introductory...
It's one of those songs that leave the interpretations of the lyrics to the listener but does set a definite base focus, as your words that I underlin...
It's an imbalanced statement Athena. Open to a great deal of perhaps misinterpretation. Why do you use 'white people' in the context and imagery invoc...
If I am being really honest, women, who I find very attractive, who find me not so. I can live with such, and I am very suspicious of the primeval sou...
No, I don't find such a claim convincing, when you offer no supporting empirical evidence. I cannot personally explain waveform collapse and the measu...
If panspermia is prove true then perhaps we all come from Mars. I can confirm that you do have valuable points of view. I think it's just that many ma...
I found your treatment of panpsychism interesting ucarr, as I did the points made by @"180 Proof". Where we part company ucarr, is your notion that yo...
Are you rejecting out of hand, my earlier suggestion of: Sometimes people do bad things just because they get a big thrill from 'getting away with it ...
Again, you exaggerate. Hate is a very strong term that I would not choose to use against anyone who is a member of a political party or against a part...
That's the direction of travel I would prefer, but as I suggested earlier, I think automation could help greatly reduce the opportunity for personal a...
Your first quote above imo, should be used by @"Jamal" to promote TPF. Your second quote is is very well put, and makes me feel a little regretful tha...
Yes, I agree that we see some things quite differently. I think you assign some value to that which may be labelled mysticism, the transcendent, the n...
Yeah I have heard commentators comment on many of the early stage votes in America, being assigned to other parties, based on their stances on individ...
I think you would enjoy 'the thick of it,' its much more raw and harder hitting than Yes Minister, very funny to, in the same cringy way that 'the off...
I think this sums up our exchange with ssu pretty well! It's you that does not seem to fully grasp the total failure of party politics, in every count...
Have you watched shows such as 'yes minister/yes prime minister,' 'the West Wing,' and 'the thick of it?' I realise that 'yes minister/yes prime minis...
