You are misinterpreting my posts. Pretty much every time I talk about the uber wealthy doing whatever they want, I'm careful to include those who also...

"Man is quite insane. He wouldn't know how to create a maggot, and he creates gods by the dozen." - Michel de Montaigne Someone can claim that "God" i...
That is easy, In 2003, Putin arrested and froze Mikhail Khodorkovsky assets. In order to keep the same thing from happening to them other Russian olig...
If this is what you believe then your really naïve since it is pretty much a given that those who have enough wealth/power can often commit murder (or...
From what I'm reading from your post you are saying isn't doesn't help against why we shouldn't have the state have control or regulate anything but s...
I'm pretty sure other forum members may have said similar things to what I'm about to, but I wanted to put my two cents in anyways. Whatever you call ...
To be honest, I haven't been really watching this thread since it started getting so long that it is almost impossible to keep up with. However, I hav...
I could be wrong but if Putin plans to attack any country that helps Ukraine, then it is a given that we have to help Ukraine any way we can. Putins r...
I don't think a mind can be "uploaded" in a way that after a copy of your mind is "created" you would be experiencing things from a computer or whatev...
There is a pretty simple answer to the question "what is philosophy" and that is that philosophy is a subcategory of something called critical thinkin...
It kind of depends on what you define as "God". If you are talking about the "God" that is more or less defined in Abrahamic religions (Christianity, ...
Here are a couple video's about the invasion in Ukraine that I posted in another thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iV8J7h85mk https://youtu.be/...
I believe I more or less agree with everything you said. Back when the USSR was collapsing if they handled it in some way similar to what China did, t...
I think you misread what I said. I did say that the US and her allies concentrate on their own security more then the security of others, but I didn't...
Well just because the US and her allies really didn't do much when other countries may have invaded their neighbors doesn't mean that those invasions ...
I think in any war or power struggle it is kind of hard to separate the reason someone wants something as either they just want it or if they just wan...
Almost ever war that has ever been fought, it almost always has something to do with religion. Of course, it has almost always also to do with territo...
Well for some of the following reasons: A) Ukraine is a country in Europe B) there is a chance that the war could escalate and spill over to over Euro...
Here is a video I found that might help explain some of problems between Russia and NATO and some of the thinking behind Putin (and those that support...
Sorry to but in but I'm unaware of how Zelesky may be a thug as you say. Is it possible for you to explain where you have come to this conclusion? To ...
That you for pointing this issue out for me. The only things I remember reading anything similar about this issue was that on the Eastern side of the ...
I know that it would be next to impossible for Russia to re-integrate all or perhaps even most of the former Warsaw Pact countries into something like...
What you say is may be likely true, but from what I understand it hardly changes the dynamics of the issue. While it may be true that the US and her a...
I agree, but wanting to take something and actually taking it are two different things. I sure China would love to take over Taiwan's semiconductor ma...
It has been kind of interesting how some in the republican party have become kind of cozy with Putin and those that support his pro-USSR agenda. I'm b...
I can understand the confusion, but try to understand that sometimes when a thread gets to be 80+ pages long and there seems to be no real single subj...
I think it is almost a given that things are not really going to plan if Putin and those that support him in Russia where really hoping for Ukraine to...
A few months ago I was talking to my older brother who works for the US government as a translator about the issue of why China is so fired up about t...
In a way I would like to see that happen but I have a feeling that is unlikely to happen. Putin is incredibly paranoid and I don't think anyone that d...
Yeah, I don't know much about what use to be called "The Harvest of Sorrow" where it has been estimated up to 20 to 30 million people died in Ukraine ...
Sorry I'm late in replying....things have been crazy over the last few days and I haven't had time to get back to this thread. As far as I can tell, P...
I may be misinterpreting what you are saying, but from what I read from your post but it seems you are in some part agreeing with Putin's actions. If ...
I guess we better get ready to have to start to eat some soylent green in the near future, regardless if it is actually made from either sea-weed or p...
I could be wrong but that really isn't about access to information but more about one's access to resources and/or people that manage such a thing. If...
One thing I guess I should point out is that I don't really believe that "socialism" is good and capitalism is "bad", but more along the lines that a ...
I hear you, I kind of thought you might be trying to make the argument you made even though you really didn't think that way. However in this post col...
If I was to play the devils advocate, I could argue that a dictator or a leader of a criminal syndicate (or anyone like them) has just as much right t...
In my humble opinion, in order to be omniscient one not only must know about everything but even more importantly they most also know about all events...
To be honest, I can't find any reliable source that says they know about any bio-weapons or programs working on such that are designed to target any s...
Yes, things are bad but in truth they have always been bad through out human history. When we are children we are kind of told a lie that things are s...
