@Wylted
Plaintiff Mr. Wylted, would you please step forward.
Your complaint that Theweakereredge used the statement " I would recommend a more structured and more obviously substantiated post" incorrectly,
is denied.  I find that " more obviously substantiated" post,  means  "more easily percieved proof of evidence" which is his point exactly.
I find for the defendant Theweakeredge.

I like your reference:
"Casual observations of American political scandals seem to suggest that Democrats are more likely to be involved in sexual scandals, while Republicans are more likely to be involved in financial scandals, with the exception that Republicans appear to have cornered the market on closeted homosexual affairs."

Unfortunately I think we are going to have a lot more Republicans.  New research is now suggesting that there may be long-term neurologic consequences in those who survive COVID infections, including more than seven million Americans and another 27 million people worldwide. Particularly troubling is increasing evidence that there may be mild — but very real — brain damage that occurs in many survivors, causing pervasive yet subtle cognitive, behavioral, and psychological problems.

I think this proves zedvictor4's point. A subjective truth is a truth based off of a person's perspective, feelings, or opinions. Everything we know is based off of our input - our senses, our perception. Thus, everything we know is subjectiveAll truths are subjective.

Morality is subjective and objective. The two basis of morality is sentiment and reason. That people generally feel the same, given common experience, and that people reason in the same way though the quality of reasoning may differ, creates conditions where moral agreements are possible.

I have to agree with Wylted on this one. 
TRUMP SPEAKS IN WINSTON-SALEM, NC, SEPT. 8, 2020. 
Donald Trump said the U.S. isn’t involved in the Middle East for oil, but because we “want to protect Israel.” The comments have gone all but unreported in the mainstream press.
Trump made the comment during a rally in Winston-Salem, N.C. on Sept. 8, when he was bragging about America’s energy independence.

You know that Elon Musk thinks the Universe is a simulation too. Although Musk has recently made this idea popular, it actually isn't anything new--the argument (also called the "simulation hypothesis") was made famous by Nick Bostrom in his 2003 paper titled Are You Living in Computer Simulation? Questioning the basis of our reality is something that humans have done since the beginning of time.

Navy can alter fabric of reality

@Wylted
From Pais's patent application:
It is possible to envision a hybrid aerospace/undersea craft (HAUC), which due to the physical mechanisms enabled with the inertial mass reduction device, can function as a submersible craft capable of extreme underwater speeds (lack of water-skin friction) and enhanced stealth capabilities (non-linear scattering of RF and sonar signals). This hybrid craft would move with great ease through the air/space/water mediums, by being enclosed in a vacuum plasma bubble/sheath, due to the coupled effects of EM field-induced air/water particles repulsion and vacuum energy polarization.

Maybe these are the UFO's the military has been seeing.

Covid vaccine does rewrite DNA

@Intelligence_06

mRNA is messenger RNA
Clarification: Modified RNA is distinct from messenger RNA, which simply comprises instructions for building proteins; messenger RNA, the basis of two prominent COVID vaccines, does not affect DNA.

Covid vaccine does rewrite DNA

@Wylted
No , I am saying mRNA cannot rewrite DNA.
  • mRNA never enters the nucleus of the cell, which is where our DNA (genetic material) is kept.
  • The cell breaks down and gets rid of the mRNA soon after it is finished using the instructions.

Covid vaccine does rewrite DNA
-->
@Wylted
One of the most popular circulating mistruths at the moment is that mRNA vaccines will alter your DNA, with pseudoscientific content flooding social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The good news is that they simply can’t do this, which will come as a disappointment to some who were hoping that this might be their chance for superpowers, but where did this belief in DNA-changing vaccines come from?
“I think people are concerned that because this is genetic material injected into the body, could it somehow mix in with your own genetic material and change it,” said Sara Riordan, President of the National Society of Genetic Counselors.
But there are crucial differences between DNA which carries all of the information we inherited from our parents and mRNA, which the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines are made of. DNA is double-stranded, very very long and bundled up tightly together inside a part of the cell called the nucleus. mRNA is a single-stranded copy of a small part of DNA, which is routinely made in the nucleus, but then released into the main part of the cell so that the instructions it carries can be ‘read’ and made into a variety of proteins needed by the cell.
“mRNA is naturally made by the body, it encodes instructions for your body's cells to make protein. Any mRNA vaccine has the same purpose, to teach and train your body to make an immune response toward a particular pathogen, so if the pathogen gets into your body, your immune system can attack it,” said Riordan.

At times, Mr. Trump has seemed unconcerned by this issue. For example, in a past interview, he brushed all conflicts concerns aside, stating that “I can be president of the United States and run my business 100 percent, sign checks on my business.”6 Mr. Trump added, “The law is totally on my side, meaning, the president can’t have a conflict of interest.”7 These claims are fully consistent with Trump’s other statements treating presidential conflicts as matters ungoverned by law or ethical requirements.

does time exist? i say it does
For researchers reviewing these posts 500 years from now, I just want to say that time does not exist. When we ask ourselves why we think time exists, most of us would say: because we see everything changing, always. And so it is: everything in and around us is constantly changing, from beginning until the end.
The question however is: is the reason for this perpetual change to be found outside the changing subject (caused by a phenomena called time) or is all change coming from inside the changing subject itself?
I don’t think that it is hard to see that the latter is correct. That which makes things change (the cycle of life) to a flower, a human being or an animal is set by the characteristics of that particular life’s form and not by an outer cause such as time. What we call ‘time’ is just a method for measuring the ‘perpetual change’.
Because of our need to measure this perpetual change we decided to divide the ‘cyclic changes’ such as seasons and day and night, into months, twenty-four hours, minutes etc. These well-known changes are caused by the ever-moving planetary positions within our solar system and not because there exists such a thing as ‘time’.

Retired Naval Commander David Fravor was conducting a training mission off the coast of California in 2004 when he saw it — an oblong craft flying erratically through his airspace at incredible speed, maneuvering in a way that defies accepted principles of aerodynamics. Fravor didn't know what to make of it, but said it was not like anything he had ever seen in nearly 20 years of flying.
The wingless object was about 40 feet long and shaped like a Tic Tac, Fravor said. He described it is other-worldly.

     Isn't it possible that since we know that the Universe is a simulation, these objects are just glitches in the simulation generator?

How atheists"debate" religion
This is from the godisimaginary.com website.
The most common rationalization for the lack of scientific evidence is the "God must remain hidden" argument. See this proof for details.
Many believers try to rationalize God's existence by saying something like this: "The existence of the universe proves God's existence. Something had to create the universe. Science has no explanation for the universe's creation. Therefore, God created it."
The way to understand that this is a rationalization is to look back in history. Ancient people, before they had science, explained many things that they did not understand with "gods." There have been sun gods, thunder gods, fertility gods, rain gods, etc.
The Bible works the same way. It tries to explain many things that its ancient authors did not understand by attributing them in God. For example, if you read Genesis 9:12-13 you will find this:
    And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth..."
This is the Bible's explanation of rainbows. Of course we now know that rainbows are a prismatic effect of raindrops. In the same way, Genesis chapter 3 tries to explain why human childbirth is so painful and Genesis chapter 11 tries to explain why there are so many human languages. These are myths, nothing more.In the same way, Genesis chapter 1 contains the Bible's creation myth. The creation of the universe and life is attributed to God. We already know that God had nothing to do with the creation of life (click here), but religious people still try to attribute the creation of the universe to God.
The fact is, God had nothing to do with the creation of the universe, in the same way that God has nothing to do with the sun rising or rainbows appearing. Science does not have a complete explanation for the universe's creation, yet. While it is true that science does not yet know everything there is to know about the universe, scientists will eventually figure it out. When they do, what they will find is that nature created the universe, not an imaginary being.

And then there are a whole bunch of people that believe life can come from non-life.
Five years ago, scientists created a single-celled synthetic organism that, with only 473 genes, was the simplest living cell ever known. However, this bacteria-like organism behaved strangely when growing and dividing, producing cells with wildly different shapes and sizes.
Now, scientists have identified seven genes that can be added to tame the cells’ unruly nature, causing them to neatly divide into uniform orbs. This achievement, a collaboration between the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Center for Bits and Atoms, is described in the journal Cell. Identifying these genes is an important step toward engineering synthetic cells that do useful things. Such cells could act as small factories that produce drugs, foods and fuels; detect disease and produce drugs to treat it while living inside the body; and function as tiny computers.

Faith is the opiate of the religious. In a study called Mortallity rates of children over the last two millennia, across the entire historical sample the authors found that on average, 26.9% of newborns died in their first year of life and 46.2% died before they reached adulthood. Two estimates that are easy to remember: Around a quarter died in the first year of life. Around half died as children.
What has now drastically reduced these deaths, faith or science?

the double slit experiment proves consciousness affects reality even outside of the brain
-->
@n8nrgmi
See:  The Double Slit Experiment Demystified. Disproving the Quantum Consciousness connection
            By Robert Lea

Let’s question for a second what we would expect to find if the double-slit experiment was repeated in a world in which the QC hypothesis is true.
An unavoidable consequence of the fact that we can’t detect or protect our experiment from incursions and interactions by disembodied consciousness is that we should expect that there would be occasions in which the wavefunction collapses for no discernible reason.
It would be as if we’d attempted to gather which way information with the later addition of a photon source and a conscious observer, despite us doing no such thing. If the QC hypothesis were true we would expect to see random wavefunction collapses. This has never been shown to happen. The results of the double-slit experiment are consistent. Researchers don’t record spontaneous wavefunction collapse.
It is that consistency that strongly implies that the QC hypothesis is incorrect in some way. Either consciousness does not exist separate from matter, or consciousness is not responsible for wavefunction collapse.
Or possibly both.

Are you takling to me or Discipulus?  “Jesus came through usual means—God and Mary had sexual relations.” An irreverent take on the Virgin Birth by author and scientist Isaac Asimov manages to offend everybody’s sentiment. God was wondering where to go on his vacation. An angel advises him to consider planet earth. God says, “No. I went there two thousand years ago, had an affair with a little Jewish girl and everybody has been talking about my son ever since.” That version jars religious feeling. But it gets our attention. It shows how non-Christians view the hallowed story. At least, Asimov’s story relates Jesus to God.
