We are talking past each other. I am talking about society as a group, and you keep bringing up individual situations, of which there is of course and...

The claim was that all religions are based on the Golden Rule. I simply pointed out that that is incorrect. What is your objection?
March 14, 2020 at 11:47
Sex is part of life, and how different societies address it has a big role in shaping them. I said nothing about "whites" and "English speaking people...
March 14, 2020 at 11:45
I was simply stating a demographic fact. But yes, you are correct; polygamy is suitable for a warrior society by producing lots of disposable and aggr...

I said nothing about romanticism. I just addressed the "Golden Rule".
March 14, 2020 at 11:34
It is an axiom in many world religions, but not in al. For example, in islam there is no Golden Rule. Like Athena, you should stop generalizing about ...

Comprehension problems? I said I do not know if he made a mistake, seeing that the whole Corona situation is still so unclear. And neither do you. The...

OK, thanks for clarifying. Anyway, this fake media talking point is out there. Not sure what you mean there. Both the Russia hoax and the Ukraine hoax...
March 14, 2020 at 06:03
I said "if". It depends on the society. For example, in a society that practises polygamy, by defintion there is a surplus of incels. Same applies for...

You do realize that the notion of all people being equal is a concept based on Christianity, don´t you? As are other concepts fundamental to Western c...
March 14, 2020 at 04:08
WHICH religion? You are still generalizing about "religion" which makes absolutely no sense. Also, where do you get the idea from that "Democracy is a...
March 13, 2020 at 15:43
None. I live in a place with a pretty good attitude towards religion. Anyway I am not interested in discussing you or me. My point stands. Do not gene...
March 13, 2020 at 15:41
I do not know if he made a "mistake", and neither do you. He re-assured the public, appointed a Corona zar to coordinate the response, and ordered tra...
March 13, 2020 at 10:12
Too many crossed messages here, so I don´t know what your point was. In any case, what exactly exactly is the policy failure that you are criticising?...
March 13, 2020 at 10:03
Because he is not perfect and does not have divine foresight? Like everybody else, apparently? Do you apply strict criteria to your preferred politici...
March 13, 2020 at 09:59
True, many people are gullible. However, looking at both sides I find that the typical consumers of fake media talking points are Trump haters. I assu...
March 13, 2020 at 09:47
Misguided attempt at sarcasm. Why do you think China restricts travel from Wuhan province? Why do we have the concept of quarantene at all? Crickets.....
March 13, 2020 at 09:43
I agree, the system based on growth is a system-inherend problem. We have to address that, i,e, by shifting growth from physical growth to service ind...
March 13, 2020 at 09:38
The open borders with hordes in unchecked crossers have everything to do with the Corona virus. Get real.
March 13, 2020 at 09:32
You should stop generalizing about "religion". There are very different religions out there, some more beneficial or dangerous than others. I.e. How m...
March 13, 2020 at 09:30
Falling for the fake news again? Trump did NOT say the virus is the hoax. He said the politicizing by the Democrats is their new hoax. And he is corre...
March 13, 2020 at 09:24
Actually, you brought up mathematics, not I. And yes, education is increasingly girl-oriented to the detriment of boys. This is about the learning env...
March 13, 2020 at 09:21
This is not about individual situations, this about society in general. The vast majority of young males are heterosexual and are thus looking for fem...

I am not defending that the UK is late with restricting flights from CHina, just pointing out the UK is not part of the idiotic Schengen agreement, an...
March 12, 2020 at 10:15
You are just fumbling, trying to use Corona as another excuse for Trump bashing. Typical TDS symptom.
March 12, 2020 at 09:55
No, a very obvious response, since the UK is controlling her borders, unlike the EU. Any other TDS kneejerk comments?
March 12, 2020 at 09:10
Well, that is well and good but it is a very generic statement, that you could make about any US government and in fact against any government. Hindsi...
March 12, 2020 at 09:08
You do realize that general well being (pollution, living space, etc) is generally linked negatively to GDP, or do you not? I.e. the proverbial shitho...
March 12, 2020 at 05:35
That depends on the decinition. THe definition I used bases morality on a religion, and ethics simply as a societal standard. So yes, if you do not be...
March 12, 2020 at 03:56
Do you have to mount a coordinated campaign to do that?`Isn´t it enough to watch some Biden clips?
March 10, 2020 at 15:29
Who ran on a platform of "the US sucks"?
March 10, 2020 at 09:18
I think he is doing it, although probably sometimes his natural tendency to be overly optimistic gets in the way. It sounds like you base your opinion...
March 10, 2020 at 08:47
Correct. A correction was overdue, and in that sense corona was a welcome trigger. If the correction had happened without an obvious external trigger,...

I agree on the stupidity of the "war on terrorism", but likewise I would like to know what exactly the govt should have done to "prepare for a situati...

What does "step up to the plate" mean? What exactly do you want him to do that he has not done? I find this is a very typical situation... the Trump h...

Who is "we"? Count me out please.
March 10, 2020 at 06:31
The ethics of human and animal suffering do not exist in China. The open markets are only a tiny glimpse of that.
March 10, 2020 at 06:30
Stock markets always find a reason to go up and down. But here is the easiest prediction ever: While the "mainstream" media narrative was all along th...
March 10, 2020 at 06:29
Afaik, he is doing his job. What exactly are you bashing him for, except being Trump? "Downplaying" is a loaded word. The president is supposed to be ...
March 09, 2020 at 04:07
Simple statement of fact. Annoying, eh?
March 09, 2020 at 04:03
So you are not aware of his massive corruption scandals with e.g. Ukraine and China. Well, they don´t tell you about it at CNN, the NYT and Huffpost, ...
March 08, 2020 at 19:17
The only positive thing about this corrupt Biden guy is that because of age and senility, it will be a one-term presidency.
March 08, 2020 at 19:13
I agree this is the Corona virus thread. So take your antitrump cackling to the TDS thread, where it belongs.
March 08, 2020 at 19:09
I do not have TDS, you do. Hope you get well sometime.
March 08, 2020 at 19:06
I have neither TDS than Corona. No idea if I can avoid Corona, but as long as I have a functioning brain, I sure as hell can avoid TDS.
March 08, 2020 at 09:46
Which situation? The ME or Corona? His natural reflex is to to be optimistic. And he gets bashed for that. But the "mainstream media" would bash him e...
March 08, 2020 at 09:43
I did not start it. "Benkei" did! Blame TDS... it seems every bit as infectious as Corona.

You mean the 30,000 e-mail from her unsecured toilet server that were all about yoga classes and babysitting? Have you seen them? I thought publishing...

I never cease to be amazed that there are people out there who seriously think the corrupt warmongering hag that was the alternative at the time would...
