@robert – I think Mad Mike should at least be nominated for a Darwin award.I saw an interview with rocket man and he was a likeable, humorous guy. I would bet he and many flat earthers just take that stance to receive attention. Yes, the whole thing was just so stupid, he deserves a nomination.

A worker ant may not have what we consider free will, but it still carries out the will of the colony, unlike a pile of pebbles.
You’re sort of touching on what I think is the best approach to the answer. You should note how Reg framed the question:
Just how free are our choices
In other words the answer is not necessarily one of: yes we…[Read more]

Actually in fulfillment of prophecy plans to rebuild the Jewish Temple are under way. They have already a herd of red heifers, the Sanhedrin exists again after nearly 2 millennium, the sacrificial alter was constructed last year, the keystone to the old temple has been found to be reused, the Levitical priesthood has been reestablished,…[Read more]

Sunday School 6 years, 6 months agoA few developments since time of posting. Turns out he IS buying the tablets at a cost of about €5,800 per month (less expensive than the first quote). The treatment is to slow (and possibly stop) the spread of his Stage 4 (there is no Stage 5 as Hitchens once said) lung cancer (he was never a smoker) from spreading to his brain. It is also po…[Read more]

She’s adorable…those ears!!! I have two rabbits, Hazelrah and Clover…from Watership Down.
@Reg, that’s the life! I think I’d very much enjoy being a cat.

Simon Paynton replied to the topic Why are we responsible for the consequences of our actions? in the forum Small Talk 6 years, 10 months ago
@jakelafort – that’s a good point, as @robert also made. But what can we say to someone to justify it, philosophically, as it were? What would Judge Judy say?
Something along the lines of “you enjoy good consequences, therefore you admit that the consequences belong to you.”

Simon Paynton replied to the topic Why are we responsible for the consequences of our actions? in the forum Small Talk 6 years, 10 months ago
@robert – so, we’re held accountable for what we do, and whether it’s wrong or right. I think that’s very true. Other people attach our actions to us, as a way to manage our behaviour. Conversely, we manage ourselves too – we hold ourselves responsible.

@Robert I like your philosophy. I was told to just keep my mouth shut and do my job by a mentor of mine and that’s probably best. If I report him it will backfire on me

@Robert, that sounds like something you would hear here in the Appalachias.
I love Rory Gallagher. Makes me want to sit down with a six pack and vibe.
Here’s my Joni. A classic.

@Robert I’ve heard The Civil Wars before, but never this. It’s easy on the ears.
And well…ABBA! 💃😆

It’s been awhile for Radiohead, but Thom Yorke is still making music. I really enjoyed Zero 7. Her range reminds me of Joni Mitchell. Here’s something you may have heard before. It’s one of my favorites.

Damn this busy week. I missed out on the good music. I’ll catch up today. But I am Patti Smith’d out, Reg. Lol My SO was on a kick all week.
Also, @robert I have also tried to get into Waits. Can’t do it. I just don’t feel it, and FSM knows I feel every-fucking-thing. 😆

Oh yeah, I love Clutch and My Bloody Valentine. @Robert Shania Twain is hot as hell in that video. She’s Canadian, like my all time favorite singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell. @simon…I don’t know about Lil Debbie…She reminds me of Iggy Azalea, who I’m not impressed with. When it comes to female rap, Nicki Minaj is my go to. (Dat ass tho) 😊

Belle Rose replied to the topic Trade War in the forum Politics 6 years, 12 months ago
Could Trump be right on this one thing?
Perhaps. But I’m sure it’s because it will make him wealthier. Any bonus to us is just gravy, and a secondary concern. He does nothing that would harm himself, so you can be sure he will be profiting from his own trade war. If we happen to benefit from that great. But while he is “winning” the tra…[Read more]

Sunday School 6 years, 12 months agoWe have secular laws and codes of conduct that are much more fair than any morality based on religion.
Do you mean the secular laws we wrote that are now the basis by which Donald Trump is keeping children in inhumane conditions separated from their parents?
