Your attempts to characterize anyone who disagrees with you as necessarily loving jihadists and terrorists everywhere seems reminiscent of how one orange-tinted moron talks.
I remain on topic while you engage in endless “whataboutism”. The moral confusion you are experiencing is the typical liberal-gone-wrong concept that anybody who is successful…[Read more]

Just a lame comeback. Hamas’s leadership is committed to genocide against the people of Israel. Bezos runs an internet merchandising company. Your morally irrational attempts to justify jihadist terrorists who admit and act upon a single mandate – to destroy “the Jews” have grown tiresome. And I support your commitment to never buy anything from…[Read more]

@ Robert Wow! They have a billionaire upper class. Boy, I’m so glad WE DON’T, right?!!! I’m arguing against genocide. You seem to be a big supporter.
That’s thick as a brick. They didn’t earn this money, LOL. It’s stolen blood money. When 10% of your child-deaths are due to poor water infrastructure and you are building rocke…[Read more]

People interested in learning, or who have alternate ideas or have high IQs just don’t do well in Islamic cultures. Islamocrates end up with a low functioning society full of religious imbecils. Thus, the Palestinians. Not smart enough to help themselves. Except for the couple millionaire Hamas leaders who don’t even live in Gaza, enriching…[Read more]

Yeah, Jake…some letter from Osama Bin Laden to America was circulating all over this week. Idiotic college kids now consider the Saudi billionaire to be sort of folk hero fighting against oppression of the Palestinians. The same Saudis that are obliterating Muslims in Yemen. Not a word from the campus because well, no Jews. If browns kill browns…[Read more]

All this propping up of Putin by Republicans, is eerily similar to how Netanyahu was propping up Hamas, BTW. Look what happened to Israel as a result, first attacked and now a pariah for defending itself.
I was reading about Afghanistan, mostly out of the news. Now that the Taliban has been left to its devices, I see that daughter-selling and…[Read more]

So, the new emboldened USSR-styled Russia has already verbally, if not physically threatened Poland, Finland, Georgia, Estonia, Lithuania, etc. somehow won’t give rise to an even bigger US military-industrial complex? Right. You know Raytheon is secretly pulling for Putin and/or China. Because that’s even bigger contracts than just supplying…[Read more]

In any event the Israel/Hamas thing could end up being just another Middle East footnote, with Iran being the big winner. Meanwhile the Russia/Ukraine war and US/China relations are currently determining the new world order. I think the support for Ukraine is waning and if Putin eventually takes Ukraine, we have USSR Version 2 on the horizon.…[Read more]

Everyone knows the eventual fate of a liberal democracy. It becomes so free, soft on education all the while pandering to its idiotic youth and celebrity culture, it literally eats itself. Kids don’t even know basic history or geography. So open-minded, its brains just fall out of its head. It invites-in and then protects those who hate liberal…[Read more]

Ethical dilemma: Ghosting in the forum To Do or not To Do 1 week, 5 days ago
At any given time, I’d say 20% of daters get about 80% of the action. The people everyone wants to be with. They will ghost you and not even think about.
I ghosted a few girls early on, but the town was too small, and it came back to me. So better just to give them the good news, LOL.

Take the test here. Answer 30 questions. See if you can get more than 250 points.
I got 3 wrong, but no site like that gets my email.

I have read studies that indicate physical brain structure in children is affected by their early experiences.
Much of brain research is descriptive and simply tells us how the brain contributes to the development of behavior that is typical of young children (e.g., language and face processing). However, some of this research has implications on…

Gillray’s cartoon depicts a tiny Napoleon wearing boots that dwarf him, tearing his hair out in rage. He is surrounded by overturned furniture that is as big as he is, with speech bubbles swirling around him filled with manic raging thoughts about Britain.
And it worked. Shortly after these cartoons appeared, Napoleon sent a flurry of d…

Wokism is a meaningless term. To a conservative may be anything left of christian nationalism. To a classic liberal, wokism can be mistakes such as Islamic apologetics or reverse discrimination.

Davis, what is the penalty for leaving Islam, as compared to any other religion in the world? What Chistian nations do you know practice ancient religious law as their legal system? Do Christians cut off the hand of a thief, take an eye for an eye or stone an adulteress to death. Do ministers issue Fatwas to kill authors?
Davis, you all about…[Read more]

Robert,
And yeah, excluding Harris and a few others, many atheists don’t exactly get the big picture.
The problem, of course, is not a God-shaped hole. The problem is that both Believers and Unbelievers can have a brain-shaped hole. Atheism is no guarantor of good sense on any other subject. There has to be a larger r…

I don’t see how Antony Flew could have even accepted evolutionary biology with his “complexity” argument. Is it really that difficult to comprehend random chromosomal variation selected to propagate by surviving environmental conditions?
I will admit that his wishy-washy deist god is at least possible, unlike the storied gods in the books.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been there, lived it and feels atheism is no stalworth against jihad.
Western civilisation is under threat from three different but related forces: the resurgence of great-power authoritarianism and expansionism in the forms of the Chinese Communist Party and Vladimir Putin’s Russia; the rise of global Islamism, which t…

I remember when Asians were as “Oriental” as the furniture. It is amazing how all these race and gender subjects have evolved so fast and have been dissected and analyzed in universities. Gonna take a while for folks in the South and Midwest to catch up, don’t you think? I wonder if even a centrist liberal would even have a chance getting through…[Read more]

If honest mistakes with any pronoun ‘triggers’ someone to become angry, my new pronoun for them is the adjective “asshole”. Reasonable accommodation is the glue of society. I have had non-binary bandmates and after a short while I got used to using their pronouns. My Cuban friend hates when people call him a Mexican, lol but otherwise he usually…[Read more]
