Misplaced compassion and empathy has destroyed civilizations.
The earth supports a human population of nearly 8 billion people. The highest number since creation. This would not be possible if mutual respect and civilization didn’t exist.

It's no different than allowing other hazardous things, selling toxic , chemical laden food, alcohol, abortion, sexual non genetic reproductive activity, prostitution and all this detrimental to human health.Why get rid of smoking when we have all these other things to go with it?
Why add smoking to the list when it can be voluntarily controlled?

I still don't understand what people mean by gender.I still use it as a synonym for someone's sex.
Maybe their rejection of you was not determined by your gender.

When we take an honest look, there appear to be underlying patterns and forms in nature, predetermined genetic pathways. Rather than primary instruction sets, genes are revealed to be modifying influences selecting from a limited number of possible solutions intrinsic in life forms. Life shows itself to be based on self-organizing principles that adhere to underlying patterns of form. It is not just the same gene complex creating wolves in both Australia and elsewhere after millions of years but also different genes producing homologous organs as they follow underlying laws of form. Arms, legs, wings, and flippers have evolved in completely dissimilar creatures for entirely different purposes, yet they have developed profoundly similar designs. Science has obviously ignored some basic principle underlying the whole process.Ideas?
Same research that led to the conclusion humans evolved from Apes. And birds from dinosaurs.

That's where UnitedHealthcare went wrong. They violated their contract with my mother, with me, and tens of millions of other Americans. This threat to my own health, my family's health, and the health of our country's people requires me to respond with an act of war.
The same can happen with AI. Billions are being spent of AI and yet the country isn’t getting any smarter.

Yes I am just getting word that journalists are retarded he gave a fake ID to police not to McDonalds staff. I apologize that journalists are retards
Details about the arrest of the shooter.
But it was ultimately a McDonald's customer that recognised the suspect from media coverage and alerted an employee, who tipped off the police.
According to authorities in Pennsylvania, officers were called to a report of a "suspicious male" who resembled the suspect in Thompson's murder.
When police arrived at the fast-food restaurant, Mr Mangione showed them a fake New Jersey driver's licence with the name Mark Rosario, said court papers.
He "became quiet and started to shake" when an officer asked if he had been to New York recently, the criminal complaint adds.
When he was told he would be arrested if he lied about his name, he gave his real name, Luigi Mangione, according to the court papers.
Asked why he lied, he told officers that "I clearly shouldn't have", said the court papers.
A search of his backpack uncovered a 3D-printed pistol, a 3D-printed silencer and a loaded magazine with six rounds of 9mm ammunition.
Prosecutors said he was also carrying a US passport and $10,000 cash, $2,000 of it in foreign currency, though Mr Mangione disputed the amount in court.

Ted Kaczynski had an IQ of 167.
The persons IQ drops by 50 points when he uses a gun to solve problems. This puts him in the range of the average poster.
Your Ted Kaczynski fits that example?
In 1996, when Kaczynski was finally arrested and evaluated, his IQ was measured again—this time at 136, a drop from his earlier score of 167. Some psychologists attributed this IQ decline to years of isolation and the onset of paranoid schizophrenia, a condition known to reduce cognitive function. Others argued that the discrepancy could reflect the limitations of IQ tests, especially when considering the circumstances under which the evaluations were conducted. After all, Kaczynski had spent years rejecting modern society and its conventions; it is not hard to imagine that he would approach any formal assessment with a degree of resistance, and his mindset would affect his IQ results.

I see the confusion. But no. Even if you identify as Muslim and obey the things said in the Quran, etc. If you are also worshipping other gods other than God, then he will not recognize you as a true Muslim
So a Muslim can have several wives and still be faithful to marriage but if he worships other gods than Good then he is not a pure Muslim. This is why 60 percent of Muslim countries are at war with each other or their neighbours. They don’t have enough gods to go around.

I didn't say either of the two makes you a Muslim. I said the former incurs more of God's wrath than the latter.So much so, that you actually are further away from Islam if you're a polytheist (even if Islam is one of your religions) than you would be if you were an atheist.
You are a Muslim if Islam is one of your religions.

Yes but the initial question was whether I would vote to convict, the follow up was under what circumstances would I not convict. My answers were straight forward and quite simple, I don't understand what the issue is.You point out the fact that he's on video... Ok... They still have to prove that the person sitting in the defendants chair is the person on that video. In theory that should be easy, that doesn't mean it's ok to prejudge any criminal trial.It's easy to sit here on debateart spouting whatever we think and feel, it's an entirely different thing when you're sitting in a jurors chair and another human beings life is in your hands (I would know). It's the latter situation I was asked about so that's what I addressed.
If there was no video to incriminate the shooter, your doubts could be justified. But videos are extremely reliable as evidence.

“I'd say geniuses commit crimes for the same reasons less gifted individuals do. There are at least two exceptions that come to mind. First, sometimes very intelligent people develop a disregard for laws because they all too easily see the hypocrisy of the people who make and enforce those laws. Second, it is common for very intelligent people to feel that their existence is ultimately meaningless. When you feel that there is no point to being, then it is not a very long stretch to the conclusion that man-made laws are also meaningless.”

That doesn't mean we cannot be much better. If we have no aspirations or values except power and money -- and if we place nothing above ourselves except the ones who can give them to us -- then we have pretty much abandoned good for evil. Agree or disagree?I could be persuaded to accept that the universe is evil, but accepting that I should be evil is another thing entirely.
Looks like there is still hope for some people to checkmate evil.

Mangione graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science in 2020.This likely indicates an IQ of 140+ so nobody with an IQ below that should be disagreeing with him since they are likely too stupid to understand his arguments

On what grounds could the shooter be found not guilty ?On the grounds that the evidence fails to show beyond a reasonable doubt that the individual sitting in the defendants chair is guilty of killing the victim.I haven't had time to read this thread, is there something I'm missing here? Why are you hoss asking me these questions?
The CEO is dead and the shooter shot him and was caught on video. Case closed.

God cannot exist in a negative environment according to the video you posted. So God has to be a positive property. But the argument presented does not define positive property. So we are in a circular logic. But the outcome is positive because God is antithetical to a negative environment

A LinkedIn profile of Mangione shows that the 26-year-old graduated as valedictorian of the Gilman School, an all-boys, independent day school in Baltimore that boasts a high-profile alumni network. Mangione graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science in 2020.
He was trained well to shoot a gun. But was sloppy with his getaway.

The point is that if you actually want a violent revolution, those have a pretty high failure rate. I'm not implying the CEO was on trial (he wasn't).

King Louis XVI was killed by a lone executioner. But let's not ignore all the people cheering his death.
The execution of King Louis XVI was a result of a public trial which found the King guilty of high treason. It was a public execution.

King Louis XVI was condemned to death by a majority of only 1 vote. Amongst those who voted in favor of the execution was the king's own cousin, Philippe Égalité, whom the king did not have positive relations with. Philippe himself would be guillotined on the same scaffold a year later.There's a lesson here, but it seems most people haven't learned it.
Here the Healthcare CEO was killed by a lone shooter. Big difference in American justice.

It is absurd to associate smoking a cigar with that of killing a healthcare CEO.
I don't know if I stated that we all do and if I did it was hyperbole. I think the point I was trying to make was that revenge is an underlying calculus that is a necessary precursor for the existence of society.This is not to say you aren't alien. Perhaps you are. Perhaps kryptonite is your home planet. I am only saying that exceptions within humans are more likely to exist.It's also a fact that many people aren't aware of their subconscious. For example when somebody smokes a cigar, they are unknowingly simulating sucking a cock, but they are unaware of this repressed desire to suck a large black cock and it manifests through smoking. Those people might say "I don't want to suck a large black cock, while my wife watches and mocks me for it", but those people would be wrong. They would be repressing the fact that they want a large load of cum on their face.This may or may not justify the rape of men who smoke cigars by gay black men. That's not the point I am making at all. I am only saying sometimes we repress things and may not even be aware we are repressing them.

In the time of Jesus, the Romans were the ones running the known world. Yes, the people they captured they made slaves. At that time, many Jews were scattered all around the world as slaves - because they could read and count. That's an interesting part of history too. The Jews were people of the book or scrolls, and so every male could read, mostly by the time they were 12 - do you recall a thing called Bar Mitsva? Even females were encouraged to read. The percentage of them however is something I couldn't indicate.Since in the time of Jesus, the Jews weren't the ones in charge, it is hardly likely that OT rules and laws would be applied. And in fact we know that the way the slave system worked in Jesus' time, was basically the Roman one / Greek one - the polytheistic religious position. In the OT, the laws applying to children born into slavery was different - and people were not allowed to kidnap others. And while in the OT, it is true that many people in war became slaves, that was a better alternative to death. Remember the Geneva Convention wouldn't appear for thousands of years later.
Ancient Jewish literary sources suggest that Jews were both slaves and slaveholders in antiquity, and that slavery had a major impact on almost all areas of Jewish daily life, whether in Hellenistic and Roman Palestine or in the Mediterranean Diaspora.
Were the Canaanites enslaved?
The rabbinic story of the Canaanites who went to Africa was used in this context, but also was further developed, so that the African Canaanites were said to have reached Central Europe, where they eventually become the slaves of both the descendants of Shem and the descendants of Japhet, thus fulfilling the curse of ...

Still, I think the Roman Catholic church has a part to play in our world. It's not going away. It is far too large to die. Yet it may be true to say that is crumbling from within. But that's another story.
The Catholic Church is mainly challenged by other Christian’s denominations and the Jews for introducing the concept of the Trinity. But it keeps the words of Jesus alive and the world guessing.

Category theory is arguably better adapted to that end than any other current approach. The disadvantages of relying on so-called abstract nonsense are a certain blandness and abstraction in the sense of breaking away from the roots in concrete problems. Nevertheless, the methods of category theory have steadily advanced in acceptance, in numerous areas (from D-modules to categorical logic)."
The fact that even mathematics have to adhere to a unified theory proves abstract nonsense is real and disparaging.
