Oh yeah! Our history is a huge international problem! I have heard about the Oklahoma land dispute and your comment has heightened my awareness of the...

Oh my goodness, I think I actually understand what you said. Oregon tribes had a hard time because the treaties they signed were not processed? This w...

What does life have to offer? Can you think of any conditions that leave a person feeling powerless to achieve happiness?
November 24, 2021 at 13:47
:rofl: I love your reply to James. I just want everyone to know I have not forgotten this thread. I just ran out of energy before I got to it, but I g...

I don't think I could be working any harder to understand what people are saying and make rational replies than if you all were writing in Greek. Once...

Huh? you can't ask for more than your child understanding you? You do not want to know what is going through my head. You appear to be thinking about ...

I love your arguments and you have made it very clear why education in how to think is very important. I believe throughout the whole of society we ha...

Perfect! Now that is down the line of what I want to discuss! You do not need to answer this personal question, but why did you feel a need to clarify...

Wait a minute I was attempting to introduce some humor to reduce tensions. A whole different subject could be why does talking about the relationships...
November 23, 2021 at 23:31
No, I did not bail. I was busy, and boy, am I sorry I did not stay on top of the thread! It took a direction that kind of ruins the concept of our cha...

:lol: I see why you were concerned about expressing your opinion. You did an excellent job of laying the groundwork for discussing touchy subjects. If...

Good morning everyone. How did this thread get so off track? Looks like it could have been my fault. :sad: How about if we talk about our childhood pl...

I choose #1 :rofl: I love your insight. :heart: On second thought, there was a time when God tried to wipe us off the face of the earth. That would be...

What of the Native Americans renewing their fight to have treaties respected and where their land can not be returned to have fair compensation for th...

I try to ignore provocation but they get to me emotionally and that really ruins everything for me. I don't want to be sexist about this, but maybe th...

Curious, why do you say they are better? I think the old paradigm was more patriarchal and as women gain power we become more matriarchal. That is mor...
November 20, 2021 at 18:13
If we are too serious about our arguments, perhaps we need counseling? A few things though really push my buttons and I turn into a crazy person. That...
November 20, 2021 at 17:55
In my book, respect is supreme. Especially if you want power because virtues equate strength. The one thing I counted on Biden being is virtuous, but ...

My goodness, when we play games we often play to win. I would not put the criteria of having no goals on the word "play", but do recognize those goals...

Speaking of creativity is perfect! Much of our childhoods are spent creatively and imagining being adults. We play house and may play grocery store, o...

What? How about trips to fun places such as the annual Steam Engine event where there is an old sawmill run on steam and many other old steam engines....

What do we win? Just wondering how much effort I need to put into beating you?
November 18, 2021 at 18:36
Wow, that is a lot of words. Thank you for correcting me. Letters to the editor used to be 500 words and went down to 250 words. That is a real challe...

Yeah! Absolutely! The democratic model for industry takes the social and accomplishment needs of the employees into consideration. We modeled our indu...

You could call it a winter solstice story but that would exclude everyone who did not know Christmas is a blending of many cultural traditions and tha...
November 18, 2021 at 16:45
I don't care about the rules except for being sure I do this right. In 500 words or less, I write a new Christmas story and PM it to Baden. Is that ri...

Okay, you are saying our intellectual climate will change? I don't know if it would be a good thing to give up national identity? It seems national id...

This thread is completely out of control and useless as a discussion about how civilizations are created and destroyed. If I could I would delete the ...
November 03, 2021 at 19:37
Let us look at why that is untrue. We are back to step one. Wear masks and keep distance and social isolation. It is hoped a third shot will get the d...

Please take your arguments about covid to the thread for those arguments and stop derailing this one. This one is about how civilizations are created ...

Geeze, I think you are right. But maybe we can salvage this thread? Before our democracy, kings had absolute power and people believed a God gave them...

An unvaccinated person is more likely to spread the disease than a vaccinated one. There is absolutely no other reason for the government supporting t...

Yes, and if you are not vaccinated please stay home so I have the liberty of living without fear of a disease. Our goal is to stop the spread of a dea...
November 03, 2021 at 18:22
It is not a human right to spread disease. When the disease was tuberculosis we separated infected people from the larger society. Typhoid Mary was no...
November 03, 2021 at 18:18
Now that is something to talk about. I think Bush really overstepped when he began a war on terrorism. That is to board and I really do not like the w...
