Psychopathy is maligned. But there are psychopaths who are revered.

Simon, do you know whether psychopaths are subject to anxiety?

A rock can have an experience. If not, what separates a rock from a priest? A priest rocks his cock at his flock. A rock when thrown can defrock a priest’s cock. Both pack a powerful sock.

Simon, Jamaicans are famous for their work ethic. Also Jamaicans are wont to help one another and take advantage of particular skills. Further they give each other good pricing or barter when there are particular service needs.
On other hand there is a cultural norm of arriving late for social functions. I think that may be what you are getting…[Read more]

Davis, i agree that Trump acts out of impulse. I like the metaphor that Sam Harris used of Trump and air escaping a balloon causing the balloon to fly wily nilly.
But in the most recent debacle he wanted to get dirt on his perceived rival. He set in a motion a plot to execute his will under the leadership of his private attorney. I would…[Read more]

Was just listening to Ambassador Taylor testify. Trump had an official and unofficial channel to further policy toward Ukraine. According to the testimony Trump insisted that it be known that there is no quid pro quo. At same time the policy was clear…do my bidding or go fuck yourself..ya aint getting the aid. That use of language suggests…[Read more]

Robert, Trump was JUST making a deal?
Was he JUST selling the Kurds down the river? Was he JUST not paying his workers? Was he JUST taking a boat load of money fraudulently at his university? Was he JUST questioning Obama’s citizenship? Was he JUST grabbing those women by the pussy? Was he JUST casually observing a truism in regards to Mexicans…[Read more]

He sees himself as the ultimate deal maker (authored books on the topic) and freely admits what he has done, too stupid to comprehend the responsibility and implications of his position. I am sure all of relationships are deals to him as well.

You may want to post properly so that users can see the original context.

“I am sure all of relationships are deals to him as well.” I’ve sometimes heard it said that he takes a transactional approach to relationships. -
No Trump was going along with the plan and then one day he just went: okay now we are going to do this cause I want to achieve a new result with Turkey cause we have some unrelated problem and this will solve it so we will do that and things will be fine and thats what I gotta do. (Yeah but Mr. President if we do that then it will be…

Is it known what caused the hypoglycemia? Side effect of blood thinner? Somehow related to heart condition, surgery or anesthesia? Prior history of hypoglycemia?

jakelafort replied to the topic Letters to my religious friend…Can we be friends? in the forum Theism 7 years ago
It is always to be decided whether we can remain friends, lovers or partners when the world view of the other is divergent.
It may be that we are guarding our precious views because they represent our identity. (Each side sees the other in this way.) Or it may be that the other’s outlook reflects ignorance and mean-spirited politics that make us…[Read more] -

No Unseen, i have not experienced it but i had to rush my dad to ER where i witnessed the awful spectacle and also the relief of having bladder drained. There was urinary retention caused by brain tumor…issue abated when tumor was removed. There is a home cath. with small leg bag that for some reason is not as traumatic. Hope to never experience…[Read more]

Praise the universe. Glad you are recovering.
I have seen what a stinking horror show catheter is. If you have urinary retention and need another cath there are a lot of options.
Heart attack is my greatest health fear. That is in part why i kill myself with aerobic exercise. Buena fortuna.

How many people think they have a personal friend in Jesus? How often do they pray instead of taking action? How misguided are they in following biblical instruction with its depraved mandates? Beyond the Jesus figures or prophets we have cult leaders like Jones, Hitler and Trump. JUST SAY NO! Use your own fucking head…ya can’t easily do worse…[Read more]

There are a lot of things to admire about Jesus, which inspire others. For example, forgiveness and fortitude in the face of imminent wrongful death, overturning harmful social norms, preaching fairness and compassion.

Simon, i don’t think there is anything i can say about Jesus that Davis has not covered.
As an anti-theist i am not in love with trumpeting the perceived virtues of Jesus as it suggests that Christians are holier than shit. HOLY SHIT! The pervasive myths concerning the necessity of religion as a moral force/guide are still going strong. So many…[Read more]

There has been a book just published called “Science and the Good: the tragic quest for the foundations of morality” which shows convincingly that so far in the existing literature or widely known philosophy, it’s not possible to apply reason to morality. It’s worth trying to do so, even if people have mostly failed up until now.

“Jesus” – there’s always room for a character example or mentor figure in people’s lives, and he provides a good one. There are of course many other good role models around.

True, Simon, religious morality is not arbitrary. It promotes the interests of the entrenched powers. It reflects the mores of a bygone era in which moderns recoil. And yes it is about cooperation in the same way slavery is about having the slave cooperate with slave owner. Religious morality is a contradiction in terms. We don’t associate…[Read more]

I maintain that Jesus’ morality and the later morality of the Church are two different things. Jesus did away with social norms and concentrated on the small-group morality of cooperation, helping, fairness and unconditional love.

Tuition and expenses are so exorbitant that the good old days of doing enough work to graduate and smoking dope are mostly bygone. If a student does not have a career path it is so easy to blow a quarter mill. and end up with no real prospects…and then get a job sweeping floors.
