unapologetic

This is related to a theory I’ve had. (OK a paranoid conspiracy theory)
You’ve seen those ‘fidget spinners’ with 4 ball bearings.
One in the center, and 3 more on arms, to add weight/inertia (but not much else).
I’ve read they use ceramic balls, not metal, for less friction.
State of the art for ball bearings. And they are all made in China.

You’ve probably heard this (I think I am misquoteing this)
“This [psudoscience] actually works.” To which you answer:
“No, if it did it, would become mainstream science”

New tech will not make the military obsolete. The new tech just becomes mainstream military.
The a-bomb did not make the military or war obsolete.

“Removing illegally placed religious propaganda”

OK, but how do I know what is illegal?

I would be surprised if the NSA didn’t already vet candidates for it’s (NSA) own criteria.

With no lisencing body to oversee would be politicions, we need some kind of ‘checks and ballenses’.
The ‘electorial colledge’ was suposed to be that. But the public doesn’t like the idea of posably being overruled. And who could you trust to do it fairly?
So the EC just rubber stamps the vote.
Letting competition sound the alarm, just sounds like…[Read more]

How so?

I don’t think it would matter. Not worth thinking about.
But you might want to consider what the animals in your surroundings feel about your actions.

Oops, sorry. I’ll be more careful with the ‘quote’ button.

As the OP, I wasn’t being philosophical in any way. But hay, take this discussion in any direction you want.

Cats! (harumph)
‘Anything on the floor is mine.
Anything I can knock on the floor is mine too.’
(I’m starting this thread at a time when my cat is in the next room doing something noisiey to get my attention.)
We have ‘will’. The amount of ‘freedom’ in it varies from decision to decison.
The concept of ‘Free Will’ was invented by the cult so they…[Read more]

Does that even sound like the way a democracy works? … You want a second great civil war?

Yes that is how it legally works. “High crimes and mis-demeanors” We can’t leave the door eternally open for tyrants, out of misplaced ‘fairness’. And Rump IS getting more ‘Due Process’ than he deserves.

I think keeping Rump out of politics has less…[Read more]

We don’t need no fake “salvation”.
We don’t need no thought control.
No dark damnation in some “next life”.

If you hate Is-lame, (as I do)
Stop using the term ‘muslim’ when you mean ‘islamic’. (is-lame-ick)
Critizising muslims makes you look like a bigot in the eyes of people who would otherwise agree with you,                           that is-lame sux.

Thank you Unseen.
I may be wrong, but I don’t think Robert was calling me is-lame-ick.
Just to be clear.

This is from the youtube vid I mentioned:
