I really like what you said until the last thought. As I see it, those flowers, teddy bears, and balloons unite all of us. It is shared mourning and I...

:brow: You say what?! How do we know truth? :chin: I think that might require the scientific process, but not all things can be processed scientifical...

I can't believe you said that! :rofl: Well, yes, that is what I was thinking.
September 05, 2023 at 02:13
I hope I understand you correctly. Before things will change, we need to know there is another way. How many people do you think are aware of other wa...
September 05, 2023 at 02:10
Thank you for your argument. I see things differently. :lol: Sometimes I think I was an alien who got stuck on Earth because my UFO had mechanical pro...

I disagree that is impossible to put an end to the two party system. Simple adopt the Australian voting system. I especially like being able to vote f...

I love your argument.:heart: What is going on here? In other forums arguments are terrible but here the arguments are so mentally stimulating and fun!...

Would that include all media decision-making? I do not think our freedom of speech means the freedom to say anything we want because it would include ...

Oh my goodness, I think it is high time for the US to clean up its Congress and get real about aging. I do not see how our present system can not be c...
September 03, 2023 at 15:07
I love your question. I love it when I have to question what I think and feel. That is a pretty good explanation of why I want to avoid "love". There ...

I love your question. I question myself and realize I regret not helping some people in the past because they are as deserving as those I have helped ...

Thank you universes. The link seems concerned with love and I am not into love but you did inspire me to Google for an organization that is about civi...

Thank you so much for that agreement. Added to my concern is the difference money makes. If I could afford retirement living that cost a few thousand ...

Our deaths affect those who are close to us and possibly the future and perhaps the whole of society that is based on social agreements. Many years ag...
August 16, 2023 at 14:55
Perhaps the subject of gods and war would be interesting. I think if we look at all the religions we can see why an education limited to studying one ...
August 11, 2023 at 17:15
Should we talk about education and democracy? How about the good of Christianity? We all know God has favorite people and we are them. What is your pr...

Glad you got past my word mistake. That was a dumb mistake. :roll: I am also glad you seem to know more about the trade problem than most. The reason ...
August 10, 2023 at 15:38
Well, that is a lot of money in some places, especially when there are immediate needs that can not be met without money. There was a time when I risk...

:chin: What do you mean misattribute the cause? :lol: I do at times wonder about my thoughts looping back to a beginning point again and again. This h...

Not when needing to tribe with the tribe that is far away and has rocks that we want. To make that trade we need a concept of money. I gave you money ...
August 09, 2023 at 15:01
Wow, what an interesting subject! I am not sure that we are not already being forced into that. Jose Arguelles wrote of the collapse of our money syst...
August 09, 2023 at 13:59
Oh my, that is a hard thing to think about. :heart: We are on a radically changing world with far more humans than there are resources. Around the wor...

Yes, that is what happened, exactly as it happened when Hitler became popular. That is why I keep talking about education. The masses must be prepared...
August 06, 2023 at 16:38
Trump was elected and many believe he won the second election too. There is a real chance he will win the next election and this is so because of his ...
August 06, 2023 at 01:51
Before we can have better reporting we must have a better-educated population, so that people don't follow people like Hitler and Trump. Education for...
August 06, 2023 at 00:13
I am highly in favor of what you said. People who think only they know God's truth and stand in God's favor, are very offensive. Thinking a book and t...
August 05, 2023 at 23:54
Well damn, you wrote exactly what is most on my mind, our relationship to authority. My homeless guy had his 3rd stroke and was found unconscious on t...
August 05, 2023 at 23:49
What fun would life be with no challenges? One of those challenges is social position. Social animals have social positioning. Some will have more pow...

I wish I had completed at least one book and then did a lecture tour to promote the ideas about democracy and education before my mind got so weak the...

I read your words very slowly before selecting the Pandit Nehru quote to comment on. I think I need to read your thoughts again and ponder them becaus...

I would love to know the books he read because this explanation of him makes me think he was literate in Greek and understood the reasoning for democr...

Oh my goodness but how do we survive in the US if we think like you? I am beating myself up for not being a more successful person. I didn't try hard ...
July 01, 2023 at 01:19
I am going to boldly risk looking a complete ass because the temporary pain of publically making a fool of myself is minor to what I can gain from som...
July 01, 2023 at 01:00
You are from India? I have been so wanting an Indian point of view. In the US I don't think we have a collective awareness. We don't have a sense of h...
June 29, 2023 at 15:56
Thank you. In the post above I explained the difference between individualism and being individualistic. One puts the state first, and the other puts ...
June 29, 2023 at 15:40
I am trying to figure out how this can fit into a discussion of culture. For sure if we grow up in a Christian country we are apt to be Christian. If ...

Aw, come on. I may be in a better mood today. Today I may think your ideas are wonderful.
June 25, 2023 at 22:59
Doesn't Buddhaism address this? Can you imagine a consumer economy without desire? Isn't that also a matter of culture?
June 25, 2023 at 22:57
Whoo, I unexpectedly had to replace my monitor. I am glad it was the monitor that went down and not the computer. I think you made an overstatement ab...

What a wonderful suggestion! To evaluate which stories are helpful and why. The Greeks were concerned with individuals becoming the best they can be. ...

I want to support what you said about ideas having impacts on our lives and speaking of them one at a time is much more beneficial than ignoring the g...

What I do not see as good is your attitude. "a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a per...

Yipes your explanation of what happens to the good guy could be very depressing. However, there is an upside too. What is the saying, "A martyr is wor...
