Hey, folks. This morning the guy I was helping was found unconscious in the road by his car. The ambulance has taken him away and I don't know what ha...

My reasoning involves an explanation of East India and Hinduism as well as some knowledge of the 6 Nations of the Iroquois The Hindu story begins with...

I wish you would join a philosophy group I am in, so we can talk face-to-face. I think the eye ball to eye contact would improve understanding. About ...
June 14, 2023 at 17:32
So for how long have you engaged with others and how have you prepared to be a knowledgeable person? I think my ability has improved greatly in the la...
June 14, 2023 at 04:54
Is that a hint? It is not a factual statement that contributes to the discussion. What are you talking about? What countries do I fail to acknowledge ...

At breakfast this morning the gentleman I sat next to gave me explanations of the different forms of government and they are very different. Socialism...
June 13, 2023 at 17:36
Oh, my dear. You made me aware of the possible value of a high school class that is about the different bureaucratic organizations and what makes each...

Once again we have a lot of agreement. One way a citizen can have a say in local policy is to join a committee. Such committee work gave me more power...
June 13, 2023 at 15:56
I love what you said and especially Spartacus's quote. As old age overtakes my youth, I am responding from a different perspective as I say, I can und...
June 12, 2023 at 16:02
Communism, socialism, and laissez-faire capitalism are eccomic systems, not politic opposites. The opposite of democracy is autocracy and you are spea...

I believe in Biblical terms that is the Beast. The Beast consumes everything at the expense of the people. I want to pull what you said forward becaus...
June 11, 2023 at 16:48
Now that is a subject that is best with an exploration of facts. I thought this technological development was largely in the US but thanks to this for...
June 11, 2023 at 16:18
I am not surprised. My father thought so highly of the book "Emotional Intelligence" that he bought everyone in the family a copy of that book. His ab...
June 08, 2023 at 04:34
:lol: Then ask. Like how manly to put me on the defense instead of asking for more information. What is happening here is not pleasant. Being put on t...
June 08, 2023 at 04:24
I expected that. So what are you going to do now? Make an effort to expand your consciousness or give up? I think humanity would be much further ahead...
June 08, 2023 at 04:13
My effort to argue against what you said relies too much on personal thoughts and I am not in a position to be respected for what I think, so I google...
June 08, 2023 at 04:03
My goodness, between the music I am listening to and explaining the importance of needing to valued and having a sense of belonging, I have a vivid aw...
June 07, 2023 at 14:34
I appreciate your argument but if someone is retarded and the best contribution this person can make is to fetch water or wash clothes by hand in the ...
June 07, 2023 at 14:16
We have agreement but perhaps how we feel about these facts is different? I think what has happened is wonderful. It makes me happy. It might have bee...
June 06, 2023 at 16:02
Okay, I think I can work with what you said. I agree with you about the importance of facts, but this should never reduce our ability to fantasize abo...
June 06, 2023 at 15:24
No, I would not want life if my life is completely useless. Whatever I get should make it possible for me to be a valuable member of society, and if I...
June 06, 2023 at 01:26
Oh yes, fantasy, the first step to human progress, resolving problems, creating a better world. If humans stop being creative and stop having fantasie...

Philosophy is about so much more than facts.
June 05, 2023 at 16:25
Now you give me something I can talk about. Thank you. If we had always lived in Eden, and grew up without fear and a need to compete for scarce resou...
June 05, 2023 at 16:24
That is a different point of view from my understanding of what a nation is about. Like the US had some small wars, but they did not involve most of u...
June 03, 2023 at 18:06
I am having a problem thinking of anything positive to say. Maybe on another day, I will have a more positive outlook. Today the closest I come to som...
June 03, 2023 at 17:48
Wonderful and why did we attempt to have a democracy? What makes it different from the kingdoms of the Bible? What are the characteristics of democrac...
June 03, 2023 at 01:31
It used to take at least a hundred years for something like the discovery of bacteria to become common knowledge. The miracle of the Athenians is thei...
June 02, 2023 at 16:02
Would you please copy and paste what I said that lead you to think what you think? Democracy is a way of life that is based on Greek and Roman classic...
June 02, 2023 at 14:30
Oh my God, I love what you said. Now if I win the lottery I will have to travel to your part of the world and stay there long enough to absorb history...
June 02, 2023 at 13:56
Let's see I think I made a derogatory comment about HIS STORY and referred to a few problems in our past that continue to plague the US and absolutely...
June 01, 2023 at 16:35
:heart: Oh, my love, I love that question and will say it is probably my teacher grandmother and world wars and the depression, through the 1960's and...
May 31, 2023 at 16:40
Wow, I so appreciate your explanation of history and I wish we had the history of inclusive equality to go with that. I am afraid we are working with ...
May 31, 2023 at 16:35
I love that explanation! I see how it goes with an understanding of logos. We can discover the laws of the universe with science. And then with our kn...
May 26, 2023 at 20:45
Oh my goodness what a delicious argument. The South used the Bible to defend slavery. Both the North and the South thought they were defending the wil...
May 26, 2023 at 20:28
The age-old question is who is one of us? All social animals recognize who is one of us and who is one of them. We defend "us" against "them". Human i...

:gasp: Maybe a better understanding of jungle rules would help. By jungle rules, Whites can enslave dark-skinned people, and kill those who do not sta...
May 25, 2023 at 17:37
Humans are not equal to ants or dinosaurs. And while modern-day horses pass on a culture to the young, humans and horses are not equals. Horses and ot...
May 25, 2023 at 17:13
But our understanding of reality is not identical. Some believe we have a spiritual duty to protect the earth, and some do not. For me, this an extrem...
May 24, 2023 at 16:35
I totally agree it is not a good idea. Diversity is very important to progress and it is good to have communist nations, socialists, and monarchies so...
May 24, 2023 at 15:49
I explain the problem differently. I do not think we have a good understanding of how we think and have taken too much for granted. We were sold educa...
May 24, 2023 at 15:40
I don't think the problem is uniformity but the total opposite. We have no culture unifying us. Different cultures mean different expressions of our h...

That last site asks for a donation before a person can know anything about it. The following link explains recycling water and probably is the best wa...
May 24, 2023 at 14:20
Why do we do that? What happened to our judgment?
May 21, 2023 at 17:39
What is the advantage of being meaningless and powerless, no more than a part plugged into a mechanical society, no more needed than another identical...
May 21, 2023 at 17:38
What would a one-world government govern? How would it be organized?

I really need that positive kick in the butt because I got so bummed out when looking into the water situation and getting sidetracked by what Israel ...
May 21, 2023 at 17:29
I have to get back to my happy feeling and I was feeling very happy when you disputed the good of Athens democracy. That triggered what I have read of...

I am not sure I know what you are saying, but I woke feeling great physically and mentally great, and then the subject of desalination threw me into a...
