It might mean to treat them as family
Well, I do treat Jesus and Satan as my family. I still feel bad about Jesus getting nailed.

In what way do you love Satan and Jesus?
I pray to both and I remember both of them often. I dont judge either of them.

Americans forgot that they voted Trump out in 2020 because he was a horrible president.
And now they want him back?

I have never found anything "funny" about Jesus or his failed mission. have you, BK?
Not funny, but it was fun. You have to admit Jesus made good speeches.
I couldnt decide who to worship: Jesus or Satan.
So I was like: why not both?
People in ancient Greece worshipped Gods, and those Gods were fighting each other.
Created:
I mean, Jesus loves his enemies, so Jesus loves Satan too.
And I love them both, because they are kinda cool. Satan is cooler, but Jesus is fun too.

There is no communist party in the US
There is. Its just called the Democratic party.
I mean, think about it, regulated economy, free healthcare, wealth redistribution?

@Double_R
I mean, its a shame that politics are divided on far left and far right now.
As it stands now,
you can be either in Communist party
either in right wing party.
Its a real shame that middle ground died.
All strong political powers:
either fight for lots of government regulation
either fight for no government regulation at all.
I am confused as to why people have to always go to extreme.
I wonder why no one fights for balance. You know like, having some government regulation but not too much.
Too much regulation is expensive. Too few regulations is expensive too.

Do you work as a doomsayer at the church?
You seem to have the skills to convince people that end is near.
Well, you didnt convince me, but I am pretty sure anyone with 90 IQ or lower can be easily convinced that civil war is possible in USA.

Everything that follows is what they called "forced moves" in Go and Chess.
There are no forced moves in chess. You have the option to refuse to make a move, which really upsets people for some reason.

I agree that Russia is a bad country.
But you prefer to let Putin decide instead of letting people decide.
So yeah, your system is a worse version of might makes right.
Created:

@Greyparrot
Which is immoral. Might makes right is the worst form of morality.
I am sorry to inform you, but "might makes right" is mostly in Russia and other dictatorships you support.
Direct democracy is where the greatest number of people agreeing on something get to decide.
So not just "Putin decides".

Less Democracy is a good thing
Actually, if Trump is not allowed to be president, then we have more democracy. Trump lost popular vote twice. People dont want him.

I was circumcised as a baby for religious reasons.
It damaged my penis, so when I have an erection, penis is bent downwards. Looks rather ugly.
It can be fixed with surgery, I read, but I dont feel like having anyone cut my penis anymore.
Great overwhelming majority of babies have no any medical condition that requires circumcision.
In fact, there are countries with very low rates of circumcision, and people are doing fine, even better regarding health than countries where majority is circumcised.

Yes. In the areas where cost of production goes down, prices can decrease.

@TheUnderdog
What if cost of production decreases? 50 years ago, big and heavy computers that are much less advanced than the ones we have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Because the cost of production went down pretty significantly, it allowed us all to have technology superior in quality by every metric as well as price.
Yes. Technological advancements can make things cheaper by reducing cost.

Dont ban BrotherD, please.
I think if this site keeps banning people, we wont have much users left.
We dont exactly have any new users coming in and sticking around.
There is a situation where enforcing rules and laws causes more damage than it removes.

I saw many people who:
1. Decided to have some goal
2. Failed to achieve that goal
3. Got badly disappointed
As we can see, the disappointment could have been avoided if step 1 was never taken.
In other words, dont have goals or attachments.
I know that your attachments are your weakness.
Think of it this way.
If you are addicted to drugs, you will suffer if you dont have drugs.
But if you never get addicted to drugs, you dont suffer when drugs are no longer available.
An attachment is a need for something. When you create a need for something, you will suffer when you lose that something.
But if you have no need for something, you will not suffer if that something is no longer there.
So,
the pain from losing something
is created by our need for that something.
So to remove pain, one must remove need.
But how does one remove need?
Does one simply accept different needs that are easier to satisfy?

In Capitalism, there is the so called "supply and demand" theory.
It is a theory that price of a product is determined by its supply and the demand for it on the free market.
Here are the three problems of the free market.
Problem 1 - Demand greater than supply
If demand is greater than supply, every economist will tell you that prices must go up.
Problem 2 - Demand equal to supply
If demand is equal to supply, prices again go up because anyone selling products at lower prices will quickly run out of them, and those who sell at higher prices will become the only sellers and will earn more money.
Problem 3 - Demand lower than supply
Many economists falsely believe that if demand is lower than supply, that prices go down.
That is far from reality.
When supply exceeds demand, what happens is not that prices go down, but capitalists reduce production to reduce supply.
After supply is reduced and becomes equal to demand, we again have Problem 2.
Also, there is the cost of production effect where even if supply is higher, price cannot go down as cost of making a product wont allow it.
Therefore, we see that in free market, even the most ideal circumstances dont enable any reduction in prices in the long run.
Average prices always must go up because every seller works to have demand for his product greater than its supply.
