Thy Plague Doctor

There is a kind of language of spirituality, and if you’re not used to the ideas, it tends to go straight over people’s heads.

Simon is it acceptable to use poetic, vague, evasive language with terms used in a way few people ever do and phrases that are impossible to properly conceptualise like “Faith is that which consistently rec…[Read more]

@Simon,

It’s difficult to take your claim of your support for what Jordan Peterson has said…with the kind of things you’ve said in the past. The only comment that gives you an emotional response is the one about women not being opressed throughout history. You stand by the rest of Jordan Peterson’s astonishing grossness.

Okay. So you agree…[Read more]

I agree that “straight white males” are often portrayed as bad guys, especially by the Left, for whom it’s a term of abuse.

Really. Often? By often what do you mean? Like one out of every four men portrayed on TV, the media, literature are bad guys? 1 in 4 heterosexual men are shown in a bad light in novels, TV and news? Are even 1 in 10 men t…[Read more]

He must have been on his golf course and seen it reflected in the sea on his visit earlier this month. Unless he was here on St. Patrick Day when we dye it green for the day

Yes indeed Reg the sky is green.

It is only a matter of time.

Pretty much. If a group of psychopaths can find a way to all come from muslim countries, train as pilots, log in the hours over the years, avoid suspicion and keep quiet the whole time…and eventually one day fly those planes into the pentagon and WTC, they can get around the great digital wall of china and their…[Read more]

Simon I’ve had some time to dig around on Jordan Peterson more deeply and find specific examples. I hope you’ll reevaluate your love for the guy.

His views on LGTBQ+ and especially on transgender issues are appaling and he has said some very cruel things, directly to transgender people to make his point.

He is at times radically anti-feminist.…[Read more]

China supplies them with cheap technology several orders of magnitude cheaper than we in the west pay for iPhones or Androids.

I think this is a pretty dubious argument for four reasons.

1. China is not going to stop selling its tecnology to a country because an extremist group in that country committed an attack. Okay, if there were monthly…[Read more]

Reporter: When you claimed the sky was green…

Trump: Yeah the sky is green.

Reporter: What do you mean?

Trump: It’s green. Look up…its green.

Reporter: The sky is sometimes grey or even red at dawn but its definitely blue right now.

Trump: Its’ green.

Reporter: I’ve never seen the sky green. Is this a new thing?

Trump: It’s always…[Read more]

the easiest way to make a big splash?

There may be a little truth to that. But honestly…if a terrorist bomb went off in China (anywhere) and most especially in XingXiang it would create a global media storm. Europe has a terrorist bomb or a public car trampling frequently. There are lots of enormous cities in China with zero history of civil…[Read more]

Strong Western influence and military in their home turf…

Belgium has no military presence in Syria/Iraq/Jordan/Palestine. Nor does Denmark. It’s hard for me to understand why you’d blow up a café in  Copenhagen or blow up a metro train in Brussels (where a third of the population is muslim) unless it was for a general sense that their sphere o…[Read more]

Chaney, Pence, Trump, Schlaffy, FOX news, Limbaugh, Coulter etc. No body does bullshit artistry better than them. They could convince thousands overnight that the sky is green or that there is a anti-Christian police force in New York. I am in awe at their ability to know something is pure bullshit, repeat the same lie endlessly…in the face of p…[Read more]

Yes Unseen you are totally right. When academic research begins to support ideas you don’t like…you can always start finding flaws in it. I personally remember the first time I questioned research methods I never question otherwise, when the results went against everything I believed. I also like how, once, when I was horrified to read research…[Read more]

Because they’re smart enough to know not to fuck with China LOL! To me at least that’s blaringly obvious.

It’s not that simple. China has grown militarily but they hardly have as much intellligence capabilities nor the kind of illegal special opps or surgical strike experience as the united states. The point is, Al Qaida fucked with the US and the…[Read more]

It might be time to change jobs and get a fresh start with another employer.

It reminds me of someone who told a gay friend who was discriminated at work “just go find another job where they are less homophobic”. It was the guys dream job where he invested a lot of sweat, hours, dedication and passion…but yeah…abandoning what you’ve built for…[Read more]

you can’t just look at this stuff in black-and-white

Ivy that is such a ridculous example. Work place seniority can easily be controlled for in statistical analysis. As can pregnancy as well as a long list of sterotypes that claim women are: less educated, less ambitious, less self-sacraficing, less dedicated, less cooperative, less intelligent a…[Read more]
