Your analogy can be distinguished with a panoply of relevant differences. But let's start with some of the most important ones: 1. Cars don't infect e...
I want to ask "where is 'here'"? but like I said before, I don't want to get into the weeds. You'd answer, and then we'd be talking about the efficacy...
I think that may be part of your failure to understand pandemic. You are not some Trapper John or Hawkeye Pierce. And I am not Major Burns. You are no...
Very well stated. Thanks. I think we have to go sit in the woods and listen. An argument I've made in the past is that, rather that saying grace befor...
It's called a pandemic. Millions have died. Millions more have long hauler problems. True that. I don't think smokers go to the front of the line for ...
Yeah, pretty much, but with friends and family (and acquaintances) who have died or suffered from the effects. But let's not get into that, because Do...
You are responsible for supporting the enemy. Like I said, you don't have the skill set to know how to respond, much less creating something more leth...
What a job you've done already. Your obstruction failed at each and every step, yet you still present yourself as the solution. We’re coming up on yea...
It's not blaming something "other than" the virus. It's blaming something aiding, abetting and providing comfort to the virus. You must have done your...
Think about this: https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/263846470_4600699910006023_5469203897190616217_n.jpg?_nc_cat=1&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=8b...
I don't think we are far from agreement. Word choice problems are indeed ordinary, and one ordinary solution is for one party to stipulate the word ch...
I taught you long ago how to demonstrate an analogy is false, and yet you fail to do it. Thus, it stands unimpeached. Just because you say it is wrong...
The government is not "forcing." Perhaps you have never experienced forcing? A cloistered life? There is not only the option of paying the fine, but t...
So, the government mandates that you post an imposing asshole at the door, acting like a total jerk, ordering compliance under threat of a beating or ...
:100: :up: When it comes to mitigating the act, what is permitted? Prophylactic? After-the-fact only? Regarding the view, it's rather innocuous in its...
Entitlement mentality. (How much of their failure to deliver is due to tortious interference with their efforts to deliver?) I know, right. Life is so...
In this regard, animals are indeed innocent. And I too can be an animal. Large tree plantations sprung up in the wake of America’s rape of her natural...
The requirement cannot be arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion or boy-specific and still be fair. But life isn't fair. If the SM has total au...
It's a word choice problem that is not a problem. I'll use any word you want for "an effort to keep "coming back" to and allow something more primordi...
Six of one, half dozen of the other. Harnessing the ego in an effort to "achieve" (harness) the selfless state may be doomed to failure simply for the...
Okay. I think we can both agree that everyone should be kind, respectful and considerate of everyone else. Were it so. Were it so. In the mean time, b...
This reminds me of the phrase "beside one's self". It is a state, I think, where awareness exists, but it is not an awareness of one's self. It it act...
:up: Good read, thanks. I'm comfortable with the Eastern notion too, and even a combination, but, other than my theory of All (which I endeavor to exp...
Yes. When I hear the word "enlightened" I think of the Enlightenment, which then makes me wonder what distinguishes leaders of that era from everyone ...
"Ch'i 'hu nan hsia pei" goes the Chinese proverb, translated in 1875 as "He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount." Once you have achieved absolute ...
I don't know if it's noble, but it can't be good for their base. P.S. Why hasn't ISIS, et al, weaponized Covid? You'd think they'd have a bunch of guy...
We're not talking about what one should or should not do. We are talking about what one does; and what, if anything, should be done about it. If you d...
I think to be enlightened is the realization that there are things that you don't know that you don't know. Everyone knows there are things they don't...
P.S. In addition to my last, I got to thinking also about this: I happen to agree, somewhat. As I said 8 months ago: "The mode of travel can matter. I...
That (with my redactions) is what I got from your original post. I just got lost in who said what, and did not want to misattribute. That was my suspi...
Because I am wanting in my ability to parse your post (I don't have the trained academic mind), I did what I have often done with complex statutes tha...
When I was young, and ignorant of such things, I would attend powwows. I would look around for, and be somewhat disappointed not to find, dancers who ...
Rather than a boat-rowing metaphor, I like the idea of scratching an itch. Sometimes that itch is too hard to reach, so I use a back scratcher, which ...
It's up to the people as to whether they want to impose upon their government the burden of screening each and every individual, and then providing th...
You and me give rise to a 30 by driving irresponsibly (too fast) in that zone, and killing or injuring others and depriving them of their rights. You ...
"A Ballena Press/Center for Archeoastronomy Cooperative Publication." I doubt that I paid more than 20 bucks for it. Probably mid-1990s? It's a 9" tal...
So if a cop pulls you over for going 70 in a 30 you blame the cop instead of all the individuals who gave rise to the 30? Indeed. When individuals fai...
