It seems, Unseen, you have completely forgotten what evidence means.

Unseen I would be delighted if you can demonstrate that a significant proportion of woke people engage in the kind of bullying and cancelling you mentioned. Any empirical source will do. Conservative pundits weaving a ridiculous narrative, don’t count. I haven’t seen any evidence that it is anything other than a fringe activity or false narrative,…[Read more]

Unseen and Simon, you are buying into the ridiculous narrative that “woke” people (already a nebulous and useless term at this point) engage in excessive “cancelling” or bullying. This is bullshit. It is a phenomena of extreme elements of progressive sub-culture. Just as say, hate-spewing cranks are an overzealous element of conservative culture.…[Read more]

“Woke” has become such a snarl word by those resistant to social progress that it has lost all value (which was perhaps part of the point). I mean, literally anything that reactionaries don’t like can be labeled woke:

• New tax funded shelter for the homeless: wokeness
• Considering abortion for incest rape victims and allowing exceptions to…

Throughout history, Muslims like the “KJ Reports” team led by Kasim Javed and Ahmed Ajmi, have never overly pro-democratic. It just doesn’t work well with such a restrictive religion.

This is Islamophobic. Democracy is as strong in Turkey, Azerbaijan and Albania as it is in Poland, Hungary or Northern Ireland. That is, it is not the parti…[Read more]

@jake you sent me down a foxhole looking for Raëlism information.

In short, alien godlike creatures in UFOs were the intelligence that designed humans.

Had more fun looking for the umlaut for my ë

Love me some lawyer rap 🙂

I occasionally wonder if the Christians that come to this site, do so for some alternative titillation, since masturbation is a mortal sin for them.

Lol rhonjon- this is exactly what a Christian apologist sounds like.

Apropos of the child abuse aspect, the Catholic Church has a Captive insurance company (captives do not have public accounts) up here in Vermont that holds a $600 million reserve to pay off abuse victims with so they don’t go to court.
There are no other ‘child-abuse con…[Read more]

There was something akin to Science before the method was more frequent adopted for inquiry about the natural world during the Enlightenment. Even Aristotle had a psudo method for verifying information and the Greeks had worked out something along the line of critical thinking. To say that the Bible was written in a time when or even during a time…[Read more]

rhonjon at least you’re trying it. Thanks, Unseen – very helpful.

You may notice I don’t use the right way to quote. I just copy and paste and put ordinary quote marks in the text itself.

Unseen does it properly

Be like Unseen 🙂

No, they’re opposite as in not caring whether you want to be a Sikh or not 🙂

Rhonjon, wasn’t there some kind of basic ‘green’ tutorial in those Bible verses?  Something about burning a bush that spoke in voices?

Simon,

Have you ever heard of ‘Crime of Passion’ laws?

In France in the 19th century a killing done in a jealous instant rage, for example, like catching your lover in bed with another and killing them, was actually a valid defence and you’d get off altogether.

Ahh the good old 19th Century, when jealous men were entitled to kill their betra…[Read more]

‘Disowned’ sounds a lot better than stoned to death or another sort of ‘honour kill’. And I imagine if you choose not to have an arranged marriage which is a core expectation in your family, it’d be you rejecting them.
