That’s not my impression. I think they state the seriousness of the situation at an appropriate level.

Mostly MSNBC. I find them to be fair in their analysis of Trump.

Okay. I can only infer what’s in his heart from what comes out of his mouth and from his policies. If we don’t infer the same thing based on the evide...

My guess was that he was discharged because he didn’t get violent. He was most likely cooperative.

That’s what I call the “news” you get on social media.

Of course you would. I didn’t think you would acknowledge it. We don’t agree on facts. You have “alternative facts” aka fictions.

Trump’s dad was KKK.

The KKK and Nazis are terrorist organizations.

Okay. It seems that you don’t trust CNN. I don’t trust social media that isn’t constrained by FCC regulations. How do we communicate?

Yeah, maybe you’re right. The Nazi youth value PlayStation and Xbox more than they want to get their asses kicked.

I actually have a fear of an upcoming race war if Trump falls, instigated by the Neo-Nazis and other fervent Trump supporters. I am sincere about this...

That is very cynical and unChristian. I am not holding my breath, and I don’t think Trump’s chances are good considering the 2018 outcome, but to insi...

I think you should stop getting your news from social media. It makes it impossible to communicate when you believe all of the subversive disinformati...

Agreed. I started my education with high-risk knowledge-acquisition projects (philosophy), but I have spent the last months to years teaching myself t...

I wish somehow that Trump could realize that we are all God’s children and that God loves him. I know I will catch heat for this from the atheists, bu...

These are just my opinions. As far as the heat of passion, in a court of law this gets a lesser sentence because of a lesser degree of culpability as ...

Some laws coincide with morality. Murder is one.

Would you feel like you would be entitled to a murder for saving millions of lives?

That said, there really are people who are above the law. It shouldn’t be that way, but I’m not in charge.

Let me just ask you this: If someone lived a moral and ethical life for 70 years, then murdered someone in cold blood for joy or revenge or to send a ...

To the lives saved, I’m sure they don’t really care if it was in the pursuit of girls. To the God of The Old Testament, I think what was in the guy’s ...

If the murder were in the heat of passion, then I would argue that saving 100 million lives somewhat forgives that. If saving 100 million lives is an ...

To get girls? Well, that’s basically the morality of nearly every teenage boy. I wouldn’t fault him, but I wouldn’t praise him.

I don’t know. I suppose if he saved 100 million lives by accident, then I wouldn’t call that worthy of praise. I would call that lucky.

Very well. I will chalk that up to your diagnosis, and I won’t take your judgment personally because I know you have an inferiority complex about my s...

Some men think they worship Allah when they really worship themselves.

To each his own. Not sure if I offended you, but I won’t judge you because I know how our minds can play tricks on us.

Well, consider yourself blessed that you weren’t a failed abortion attempt with parents that cycled between abuse and neglect, and that you were taugh...

Yeah, I don’t know. I probably spend way too much time focusing on a certain interest for hours a day while neglecting other things. I have never been...

I think we can all forgive the occasional kick in the nuts for the saving of 100 million people. That’s my take. Now if the person saved the planet fr...

I dropped out of law school second semester. I had a nervous breakdown, and I haven’t really fully recovered. I think some lawyers are ethical, moral,...

A bad philosophy, though? Better to play video games.

A good philosophy is better for your soul (whether proverbial or literal) than video games.

I don’t know what you mean by this.

Welcome, brother. Me too, although I’m not functional enough most days to work. My parents have said that some days you wouldn’t know that I’m ill, bu...

I think a terrible person can be reformed and even redeemed. I don’t think this is the case for everyone, though. As examples, Ghengis Khan and Adolf ...

Though with my so-called illness I do sometimes appear to at times take certain things literally. The point is that certain religious tenets can be li...

I wouldn’t lump all religious folk together as all being “superstitious”. What you say makes sense to me and fits in perfectly well with everything I’...

I agree and would go a step further than to say that existence is not only significant but that life doesn’t make any sense in the sense of how is it ...

I think you’re mostly correct about the vast majority of intellectuals. After taking my first philosophy course my senior year of high school at the l...

I should make it clear that my God certainly wouldn’t want me to forgive pure evil. That would be like forgiving Hitler or Satan. In cases of pure evi...

me too

I have Ashkenazi ancestors.

That tells me all I need to know about you, and I suspect @"Nobeernolife" is the same as you.

When I hear you say you want to approach life as it is, what I am really hearing you say is that you want to be able to adapt to life’s changes. Right...

True. Ask me how I’m doing in ten minutes. It’s likely to change, especially if I turn on cable news. That said, I think most people value life, and e...

I just read the OP without reading the discussion that followed because I didn’t want to become corrupted by the stimuli before giving my thoughts. Th...

DNA has memory.

Everybody complains. Also, a lot of people are happy to be alive.

How exactly are you rebelling?
