Unseen,

Perhaps a more accurate term would be Miso-Islamic as part of a more broad concept of Miso-Religious. I don’t fear it, but I despise what it does to human beings.

As for adherants to the Islamic religion, I either like or despise them as individuals according to what they say or do.

My last Opthalmologist at the Vision Center who…[Read more]

Robert,

Let ’em try imposing the Jizya on a people whose lawn boys, pool boys, restaurant servers, jitney cab drivers, not to mention millions of illegal aliens, are all paid under the table.

Let ’em try this on a nation with accounting and asset protection industries devoted to finding ways to get out of taxation.

Let ’em try this on a people…[Read more]

Unseen and Jake,

While it is rational to judge individuals by their thoughts, words, and deeds and not their accidents of birth–including their birthplace and it’s culture, it is never rational to make ideas and practices immune from scrutiny and criticism, and that includes the ideas and practices of religion.

I have heard the term…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

A good-sized sum of all fertilized eggs end up flushed down the toilet naturally and completely without a woman’s knowledge.

Are these fetus fetishists gonna have law enforcers sloshing around in sewers searching for zygotes and forcing women to “prove” that they didn’t premeditatedly (versus spontaneously) abort these zygotes?

Jake,

I don’t read funny. Ünternenschen and the implications of that term are not a thing with Free-Market Capitalism.

I mentioned the cause of The Panic of 1873 a year and a day ago on this very Forum. See below:

Jake,

Enco i am aware of untermensch derivation and usage and how today in Germany it has gone the way of the dodo. Nobody names their kid Adolf either. I used the term to denote one of many who are down on luck or in some way lower echelon and subjected to the vicissitudes in a way the upper and middle echelon is not.

Sounds to me like you…[Read more]

Jake,

Check your Google Translate. It is obviously on the fritz.

Charity is only possible because of surplus production, and Free Market Capitalism, to the extent that it is tried, is a proven champion at producing goods and services and wealth to overflowing. And it by production, saving, and investment that people lifted themselves from…[Read more]

Jake,

What is the role of government for those who are incapable, unsupported, without family or friends and will starve or freeze without help?

Before Welfare States took up to 40 percent of some nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), there were mutual aid societies that took care of various needs of people. Members would contribute money or…[Read more]

Unseen,

Neither Robert nor myself did any such thing as you allege. I just said that there were both involuntary and voluntary homeless, which is not opinion but fact. And I proposed evidence-based Free-Market Capitalist solutions to homelessness that are better than just making street life easier at best and at worse enabling addictions,…[Read more]

Unseen and Robert,

I think it says a lot that the homeless in the U.S. have modern smartphones, which they use to get coupons for fast-food meals, the latest rucksacks with weatherproofing, pockets and compartments, and some even unpretentiously hold out signs begging for beer money. When people like that come soliciting in the parking lot or…[Read more]

Unseen,

As I said at the end of one of my posts to Robert, You have pointed out some of the problems but, “wherever there’s a will there’s a way,” and the Ukrainians are showing the way, whether or not they ultimately can beat the Russians in the end. Their accomplishments will serve as an inspiration for many others.<

Oh, these aren’t problem…[Read more]

Robert,

Tucker was damn foolhardy to do that, given Putin’s record with murdering journalists and dissenters. And Putin dragging up Eighth Century historical grievances sounds about as aggrieved as any campus Wokester in the U.S., so that makes Putin even more dangerous.

Unseen and Robert,

Funny, Unseen. For nearly two years now, you’ve been saying that Ukraine was as good as defeated and that Zelenakyy had might as well give up Donbass and negotiate with Putin. Now you’re saying what I’ve been saying all alone, that Ukraine is the mouse that roars. So which is it? 🤔

By the way, to both you and Robert,…[Read more]
