back to the straw man arguments I see. I have literally never said that government should have full control. That doesn't seem to stop you from lying about it though.Communism is everything controlled by government. No private businesses. That isn't a straw man when it did happen. It's factual. Not straw manTrue, but since literally no one is advocating for communism, it is a complete straw man argument here.
That isn't the point. If you look to the most government controlled countries versus the most company controlled countries, you will clearly see that the company controlled countries will kill more people. Government is naturally evil and did dirty tricks to get in the business. The majority of company owners worked hard to get where they are.
Therefore, if we go by the spectrum, a government with more control kills more people

And how much have you donated to Covid 19 reliefs? Certainly less than $8B. Maybe work harder and invent something useful instead of complaining about society? Why don't you donate all your funds to the government so people can be healthyvery nice deflection. But utterly worthless in this conversation.
Not a reflection, but a genuine question. You donated less. Your maybe $5 you donated are minuscule compared to his $8B
Also it's not a small portion of their wealth. The net worth is in the company. There bank account is less worth than their net worth. He gave up a huge some. And are you the people donating? How do you know it's all for show. You simply don'tAs far as I can tell you are picking numbers out of the air with absolutely no context, then praising people who you don't actually name. Do you honestly think you are making any valid points? I assure you, you are not.
You don't know how basic economy works then if you think Mark Zuckerberg net worth is his total. Your net worth is all your companies revenue plus your total revenue. His bank account is much smaller than his net worth. Basic economy, but I guess you wouldn't know since your arguing for socialism
Yes they are. Ofc they want to make money, but they fill a need for the people. And if you don't need the product then don't buy from the companies. They try to help the consumer in their lifeok, you praise them for doing stuff, then immediately acknowledge it is a scheme to help them make money and is not actually intended to be for the public good. You can't even keep your own arguments straight.
No you do not understand. There is a need in society. The companies fills the need by providing an item. They set a price for it. If you need it/want it, you buy it. If you don't, then don't buy it. Business aren't tricking you. Competition within businesses helps the buyer because businesses compete with others to have more people. When a Monopoly takes control, they do what they want and that is when abuse in capitalism happens. As of 2019, only ONE true monopoly occurs, and it's ComEd. And they are HIGHLY regulated by the government.
If you give government the full control, destroying business, the government will screw over the people the same as the monopoly. The thing is you can't find any monopolies in America

But this is the thing. That isn’t going to happen. The reason why nuns and monks are separated is to limit the sexual desire. This has stood still through countless times and won’t change cuz of one thing. The argument you made is simply not true, but the claim you make it valif

So people who do massive damage sometimes give tiny fractions of their wealth back? In most cases it is just a publicity stunt to get people to look over their massive abuses the rest of the time.
And how much have you donated to Covid 19 reliefs? Certainly less than $8B. Maybe work harder and invent something useful instead of complaining about society? Why don't you donate all your funds to the government so people can be healthy

you clearly don't understand what capitolism is. Very few companies are ever "for the consumer". Almost none that listed on a public stock exchange. They are for their own bottom lines. Sometimes that causes them to do nice things. Sometimes they want to buy some good publicity so people think how nice they are, then they go back to royally screwing them over.
Yes they are. Ofc they want to make money, but they fill a need for the people. And if you don't need the product then don't buy from the companies. They try to help the consumer in their life

Learn to read what I said and stop assuming things. You don't know shit about the bible if your first claim about why women should not be in clergy is that Men would have to be nuns. It proves you have no ounce of knowledge in anything related to the church in anyway.
Learn to read before you comment on a post. I didn't say that having women in the clergy should be allowed. Stop putting words in my mouth that I didn't say.
Fucking

That's what you call a priest. You call them The Reverend or The Reverend Father https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesiastical_titles_and_styles
I never fucking said to you that I believe women should be in the church, I said your argument is stupid for why they should not be in the church. It doesn't matter about the titles you give them and your whole nun thing is fucking ridiculous.
I seriously doubt you know more than me. I am an Orthodox Christian and spent my life in the church with monk relatives. You don't even truly believe in a religion but your own form of it.
Learn how to fucking read before correcting me. I said your reasoning is stupid, not the claim

@Dr.Franklin
No it doesn't lmao. That doesn't mean anything. A priest being a male or female doesn't add another layer at all. There are monks and nuns. They are in the same group so they do not get sexually tempted by one other. That's why they are separate. A religious person would know this

Then why have people, companies, and other donated billions of dollars to fight Covid-19, due work for charity, and do so much for the consumer by providing sales, having customer service for the customer, and various other
Companies are donating billions to stop Coronavirus and give money to people laid off by Coronavirus, yet you stand here saying that no company works for the consumer. This is simply wrong on all levels

Government with full control such as communist states kill millions of people due to starvation. Look at North Korea. A communist dictatorship that kills their people. That is a central government.

@fauxlaw
Broken
Reflections on a gloomy day
Turning the page on a book of dismay
What you could've fixed, you tore apart
Like a essay that you had to restart
With every tear drop there's a story to tell
As memories and melancholy turn life into hell
You've sold her reminiscence, but what's left to sell?
The heart consumed by a dark plague
As happiness becomes vague
The plague of heartbreak is forming ripe
As the words you say become tripe
Then the pieces shift and lose their form
As darkness lurks over you, like a lingering storm
Locking yourself in isolation
Lacking will and motivation
You wish that everything would be the same
Battling your subconscious like a challenging video game
Until one day when you're at the lowest
Someone descends to the lowest of depths into your mind
And rebuilds the thing that made you the bleakest
And then returns you into the world of mankind
A telling experience from tragedy in life
A journey of curing the wounds from the knife
Phrases and words can't express gratitude
To the person who helped you shift your attitude
And shift your thinking to a new latitude

1. Why the blazes would he convert to Taoism?
Some things will remain a mystery.
2. Why did he leave the site, even if he's Taoist now?
I guess he is content with himself and doesn't need a debate site to be pleased with himself, which fair play to him

Here is some constructive criticism with the poem. I think its a good poem, but certainly can be improved. I'm also removing the emojis cuz they are an eyesore on poetry
My Knight rides to my tower,He’s always been a dazzler ❤️ .
Go deeper into why your night is a dazzler. Give me more details into his character. What makes him a dazzler? The rhyming is OK but here is how I would fix it
My dazzling knight rides into my tower
With a strong beard, and muscles, a man of true power
My dazzling knight rides into my tower
With a strong beard, and muscles, a man of true power
Inside I await,For his black horse to reach the gate.
The second line is good, but the first line needs another adjective or more to it
I would do this...
Inside the tower I anxiously await
For the black horse to reach the gate
I would do this...
Inside the tower I anxiously await
For the black horse to reach the gate
I jump on, were now running with fright,From the oppressive tower now outta our sight.
Woah slow down. Slow. When did the tower become oppressive? You can't just add more information to the poem. You have to be clear about what the tower symbol is in the poem. You have to be clear when he enters. You can't just add events on like a movie. A poetry has to be clear on everything. You'd have to use descriptors in the beggining to symbolize you despise the tower. Also don't use slang in poetry if isn't the person talking. Saying outta is unproffesional
We run into night,With all of our might.
Simple, could add more. But it will work. Also you mean, "we run into the night"
Eventually we reach his house,As quiet as a mouse.
I like the figurative language in this, but don't see the point. Why are you quiet? How did you get in the house? I think you should add entering the house after "as quiet as a mouse"
Spending the rest of night together,More happy than ever.
More happy isn't a word. It's happier and I think you should add more description than just happier than ever
Making our way the very next day,Our horse blessing us with a happy neigh.
I like these lines. Reverse the lines though. It makes more sense chronologically
We drift away,Back onto the mysterious highway.
Add more than the we drift away? When? Where? Why? Add descriptors
We drift away before the dawn of day
Back onto the mysterious highway
We drift away before the dawn of day
Back onto the mysterious highway
I have to return now my knight,But dont turn white.Someday we’ll run away together,Like birds of a feather.
I really like what you did with this line
This isn't a bad piece. There are certainly things you can fix with it to improve. Poetry takes time to master. I was already gifted with poetry from a young age, my dad is a well known poet and has books published. It still took me some time to master the true art

@n8nrgmi
1. he wants to kick millions off their health insurance, and he has no plans to replace it. he's talked about getting people healthcare but is a stooge to the republicans so he won't do it
ObamaCare caused middle class families to be more plunged in debt
2. he wants to allow companies to pollute mercury into the environment, which is a serious neurotoxin. among all the other pollutants he's cool with
Exxageration. Weakening =/= allowing
3. his center piece for legislation that he could actually get through congress, is a give away to the wealthy and tax cuts are stupid to do during good economic times. how is it wise to borrow against your kids to fund the government?
Your forgetting about the middle class
4. he wants enact no gun control, despite the fact that gun control works according to the best science out there, according to the scientific consensus. he talks like he wants more background checks, but is a stooge to the NRA
This is an outright lie. He wants to reduce gun control, and even considered increasing it. You are lying here
5. he has no plan to transition us to alternative energy, and got us out of the Paris accord to reduce air pollution. if carbon dioxide is the highest it's been in millions of years, and twice what it's been for hundreds of thousands of years, and it causes global warming according to the scientific consensus, maybe we shouldn't be putting so much in the air? just a thought. i'm mostly worried about droughts due to global warming.
We won't transition to it for a while. It takes a while and we as a nation are not ready to make the shift. Biden doesn't have a plan per say either
A lot of what you're saying is exxagerated, not true, or looking at it trough one scope
