Lasting relationships are based on choice. I choose to lay with my wife at the end of the day, she chooses me. Every night, every day. I choose her ab...

The division can continue indefinitely, so the stack goes up forever, in theory. Practical purposes would suggest a fairly limited number of divisions...

Not everyone agrees on these moral rules, and therefore apply a nearly instant exception to them. "Thou shalt not kill..." is qualified by adding exce...

I suggest you re-read the post. Clearly you did not understand it. You did however nicely demonstrate exactly what I was addressing in the last paragr...

I cannot speak to the US. I am not from there. I can speak only to my experiences. I have not seen the discrimination you speak of. I have seen, heard...

Your statement implying that they are somehow special because they are discriminated against suggests that others are not experiencing discrimination....

They get harassed for being white in the wrong area of town, at the wrong time. And they don't get over looked because their name is unusual, they get...

I do it to annoy all the grumpy types. Also because it more peaceful than being angry all the time.

That would be a "reset" button. The end of life as we know it, but hardly the end of life. Who is to say that it has not happened before? We could be ...

I will support consciousness as outside the brain. To answer your first question, brain changes resulting in consciousness changes, I propose the foll...

I have not looked over the link provided. I did not see the link as I read through, likely just missed it. If it is a new perspective on it I may look...

I did not call you racist. I said white privilege, as it is used 95% of the time, is bullshit. I stand by that. No idea if you are racist, I don't kno...

Karma for being white apparently, I have no idea. I hear the same crap all the time, and it's garbage. I guess poor white people don't feel hunger or ...

No. It's called being silenced by a mob.

The unstated reality of it is that one may voice and pursue any opinion, as long as no one gets offended. Apparently the right to never be offended is...

Everyone that had evidence was silenced and then expelled...

I am not seeing a question...However, while I cannot speak to higher education in the UK, having never visited there, I can speak to higher education ...

My disagreeing with the current narrative will have no difference on the number of people that die. ZERO impact. if the vaccine works, great. If it do...

my main point of concern is that the sales pitch of the new vaccines is very nearly what we use to describe an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune disease:...

The coronavirus vaccine is nothing like the flu vaccine. If it were I would have no issue with it. The previous attempt to make a corona virus vaccine...

No worries, I piss a lot of people off by asking questions. I appreciate your comment withdrawal. I am going against the majority of the voiced medica...

Mostly because they don't actually KNOW. At least, not by an acceptable standard. I cannot use their level of so called knowledge in my practice or I ...

Roger, look around at the world. Seriously, would extinction really be that bad a thing? For us, sure. For everything else, hell no.

The rhetoric is clear. The science, not so much. I have studies that show my non-medical grade mask (required to be worn by hospital staff) doubles th...

They are still in the air, mask or no mask. The air I exhale moves around and through the mask, hence the fogging of my safety glasses. As for it prev...

Treating everyone like garbage is equality, but I don't really want to live there eh.

what rate is that exactly? Last I checked it was about 1%. Hardly impressive, much less incredible. Ebola is around 70% fatal. Way more impressive. No...

My mask is designed to stop over 95% of bacteria, dust and pollen down to 20 microns. The virus is 1.25 microns. My mask is as effective at stopping t...

I hate wearing a mask! Mostly because I think it's useless.

For a number of years I ran my business on the "pay what it is worth to you plus material costs" model. It worked very well, the exceedingly few peopl...

Do people trust their leaders? I do not believe I ever have. I have seen very little which would demonstrate competence, let alone inspire trust. My t...

Many of the facts don't add up. If there was some secret plan by the ruling elite to create massive change through the instrument of the virus I would...

What people work for is money. Why people work where they do is often not money related, more satisfaction related than monetary gain. Volunteers make...

Born poor does not equate to useless. If you want something bad enough you find a way to get it. Being born poor means you likely have to work harder ...

Not enough. It cannot be taught in schools or through government programs. It comes from within, if one is willing to honestly look at one's actions a...

In a word: No. One should never chose someone romantically with the idea that they will care for you throughout your single life time and take care of...

I did not mean Value as in monetary value. I meant value from the personal perspective of importance to the observer. What is the value of a beautiful...

That isn't really what people do Jack. We don't live harmoniously with others, not even our families. For any disagreements we may have we seek a reas...

I was not aware that Nazism and Fascism were based on resentment. I had thought they were based on the concept that one identifiable group believed it...

Also, this is a bold assumption. Rats will eat people, but not as an opener, more of a last resort.

That question is based on values. I value my kid more than I value rats, therefore the rats die. I value my kid more than many other people in my life...

People will get sick and die no matter what is done by anyone. That is what we do, we live, we get less healthy, eventually we die. Repeat until extin...

How do you define "chores" and define "non-productive people". I am better able to answer if I understand the measurements you are using. Thanks

If one considers a virus as a life, that would be correct. However, as I understand it, a virus is not a living entity, therefore your example is inac...

I see vastly different protective gear being used in china and other countries than what is being touted as required here. I would compare the gear di...

All life is sacred. Therefore every life has an equal value. So the cow that was part of my dinner had the same value as my life. As does the jackrabb...

Sure they have. And they learned from it and were wiser. But there is no fix for willing blindness except experience. Experience + Intelligence+ refle...

I get that there are no clear answers as we don't really know anything about this new bug. I work healthcare, 15 years now. My issue with the response...

So lock it down! Except for the people that don't eh. That's ok because it would be icky if they lockdown, because that would be an actual lockdown an...

Treat, and pay, your people well, never ask them more than you would ask of yourself, and support and promote their improvement and education. Never, ...
