Close contact. Gotcha. So no licking each other, spitting on each other and rubbing our selves on each other (unless we mean it). Exactly how does wea...

Sweden. Better infection rates, better mortality rates. No response other than wash your hands and take care. Last I looked the US was doing better th...

Beauty and truth are entirely based on the perspective of the one beholding them. My beauty and truth is different than those around me. Similarly, He...

So people need laws to tell them what to do because otherwise they will do what they want, and that works out badly for everyone else, hence the requi...

It was certainly not supportive of societal morals, unless "what thou wilt" was to support society's moral values. I find it interesting that people i...

True, but the pleasure is passing until the next round. There is minimal sense of accomplishment. When things are too easy we do not value them as the...

"Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law". -Alistair Crowley. Don't get me wrong, Crowley was a nutter, but he has a point. Gain the experien...

Completely agree. I also completely support the premise. It would be rough for awhile, but long term effects would be less damaging than the current p...

it isn't that hard really, the virus is figuring it out fairly well.
January 24, 2021 at 07:45
Spoken very obediently. Well done. It is easy to say that things would be worse if we weren't doing this, very hard to prove something that isn't happ...

I like Alaska. Probably be comfortable in Montana too. Why not recommend it? The civil unrest or the virus?
January 23, 2021 at 01:46
In simple terms: A thing is wrong if, outside of a fantastic theoretical model, there can be no justification for said thing. I used rape as an exampl...

I don't live in china. I live in Canada, the country that fought in WWI and WWII to avoid this kind of crap. I expect this if I am in China, or North ...

oops, one too many howevers!
January 15, 2021 at 13:55
There are very, very few, Right and Wrongs which are "plain wrong" or "plain right". The rest are conditional, and are not so difficult to determine. ...

Makes sense, any right wing views online result in online lefty hatred, which is easily ignored. In person lefty violence is harder to ignore. Sounds ...

So how is Trump calling for a legitimate election result to be overturned, through political pressure, or mob pressure, not an action against the demo...
January 15, 2021 at 13:36
It should be more of a wake up call, rather than a disaster. Answer "how did it come to this?" and then work to remedy that answer so that this does n...

It is a US hospital, not Canadian. Here we will, eventually, get an email with a specific identifier so that we can, if we choose, book a vaccination ...
January 15, 2021 at 13:04
this is my "social media".
January 15, 2021 at 12:44
Those of us that want them can have them for free too. I just find it concerning that the hospital is paying their staff to get the vaccinations. Seem...
January 15, 2021 at 12:33
Thanks eh! Back at you.
January 15, 2021 at 12:31
I would prefer to see all the social network sites get shutdown. We can go meet our neighbours again, engage in our communities. When the shit hits yo...

Canada.

neither did trump eh.
January 15, 2021 at 12:25
Government funded trial eh. Is that like the hospital that is offering an additional $500.00 to staff that get both vaccinations? Nothing seems wrong ...
January 15, 2021 at 12:23
Wouldn't that be nice eh! Recognize another's opinion as as valid as one's own and try to find commonality to work together toward general improvement...

Which violence promoting group are we speaking of? radical left, radical right, radically angry?
January 15, 2021 at 11:54
Except for the violence at the marches, and the rioting, and the arson, etc. I suppose those instances of violence were "politically relevant" and the...
January 15, 2021 at 11:52
Violence is rarely THE answer. However violence is frequently a symptom of a greater underlying problem. People like to think that their perspective i...

If donating to your candidate means that that candidate is now beholden to you, your candidate can be bought. Why are you donating to them? Someone wi...

Is a possible penalty for insurrection still hanging? I am not up to date on my American law.

Rape. Just plain wrong.
January 14, 2021 at 05:28
Maybe read the story again. viral reduction of the ability to procreate.
January 14, 2021 at 05:26
I agree completely. I find this is increasingly lacking, which is unfortunate.
January 10, 2021 at 23:36
And this effectively describes a great deal of people. Point of fact, I would move more to save the beavers. People should save themselves.
January 10, 2021 at 23:01
My thought experiment is to point out that the interpretation of a framework is based on the individual doing the interpretation: values, perspectives...
January 10, 2021 at 22:59
Actually my story has no one killing anyone, simply reducing the ability to procreate. No suffering for anyone existing. Indeed even the knowledge of ...

Nicely explained. Too bad you don't work for public health, the messages might be clear then.
January 06, 2021 at 13:15
Except for beavers eh. They see a creek, they imagine a home, they build a dam, then a home... Come to think of it, lots of things change their surrou...
January 06, 2021 at 13:08
Exactly, I am a product of society. Apparently that causes you distress. Tell me again about this society that I am to find solace in, the one that cr...

I find the level of education, and seemingly unwillingness of people to seek self improvement, disheartening. Perhaps, as this current virus fiasco pl...

Exactly. Only Antifa can do that, because they are more equal than every other voice.

Gophers also have managed an admirable state of Zen. And no, as a species we are far from achieving a Zen state.
