Trump Policy?

I can dream of the recent shake ups being positive. One question is based around federalism. Arguably, the federal government has been doing too much. Now, with various agencies being curtailed, it is doing less. If conservatives favoring less service and less taxes, the central government is doing ...

The China Taiwan Problem

I suspect Taiwan - China relations should be viewed through a different lens. During the early to middle 20th century, Marx was right. The common people were exploited by autocratic government. It was necessary for the population to revolt. Marxism as it was originally intended applied. The problem ...

Rest in Peace

John and I were never on the same page. As early as the Nashville T4T meeting I had crises as progressive. The largest flaws in the culture were removed. John put a different emphasis on this. The different would be hated, oppressed and killed. Somehow, these two ideas came together. The faction whi...

Flight

Call all the flying monkeys like Bish to his aid? lol, what a joke California is. I recently bumped into a YouTube video. A woman was playing on a jungle gym like arrangement of suspended rings, swinging from ring to ring, with a song from Wicked pronounced how wonderful it was to fly. Granted, tha...

Middle East

I am worried that Netanyahu sees himself as clinging to power only if Israel is fighting a major war in the Middle East. Thus, the recent Israeli attacks into Syria. That, and Trump could conceivably come in on the side of Israel. This does not encourage hope for peace in the Middle East. Not sure w...

Defining Sentience

Bob, since you allow rights only on the basis of using language, would you be in favor of postnatal abortion till the toddler developes speech? Not really. I have been waiting for someone to define sentience as other than language, but no one has. Language as sentience does seem to be a way to just...

Love or Bond

My approaches are accurate. You can't even define the word "love" let alone a lot of the other terms you use, typical of leftism which has distorted your mind and soul. I'm not inclined to interact with people who don't repent and accuse others of evil. But that's what defines your father, so I alr...

Ethos

The flaw is that dysgenics produces people who promote your view. I hadn't bumped into dysgenics. A quick visit to Wiki dismissed the theory. Despite these concerns, genetic studies have shown no evidence for dysgenic effects in human populations. Reviewing Lynn's book, the scholar John R. Wilmoth ...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

When Zelenskyy gives up his mansions and boats in Italy and Miami, I'll take NATO seriously. Not gonna happen. The story that Zeensky is buying stuff has been debunked by several MSM outlets. I will mention one in Newsweek. The stories apparently started as Russian propaganda. https://www.newsweek....

Re: American Revolutionary thinking

They previously lumped me with you, if you noticed, which was funny to me - you annoyed them, and they hated me for being able to see things they can't. That's the difference. You do nothing in terms of prediction, and you can't see things either. You just complain. Notice that most do that around ...
