@Best.Korea
The flaw in any form of governance is the individual counting on it for anything and giving it more and more power to be more reliant on it. I live as if I am on my own and no one is coming to save me. If govt builds a road, great I'll drive on it. If govt doesn't maintain that road and it becomes filled with pot holes, I will drive around them as best I can. I don't expect govt to fix it. The point is reliance on govt will always be a life of disappointment, misery and death. I am never disappointed by govt. It does and doesn't do everything I expect any govt to do, Not serve my needs and interests so I never look to it for anything. If govt does something that turns out to be beneficial to me it wasn't because it was thinking of me or the people it was doing it for the benefit of govt by govt and for govt. All forms of govt become the same over time as they grow in size and power. People outside of govt just become liabilities to govt that need to be controlled and handled to maintain govt status quo for those in govt.

"If we look in revelation, it claims that 1000, years is like one day for God. This is implying that our perception of time is different than Gods.
So, for God, the first 7 (or six if your being petty) days of creation, were days, but for us they could have been billions of years. "
Its always astounded me that some people believe that a intelligent entity that can Transend time, space and matter and created the entire universe and everything in it would look like a human being. What basic scientific indications are there that it would look anything like a human being?
I believe the universe and everything in it was created but don't for one second believe the power and intelligence that created the universe and everything in it is a carbon based entity that looks similar to me in form. Nor do I think it cares if I get cancer and die or win a sporting event.

"I would not expect" So no, you are not considering the ramifications. Banks are regulated by govt , you understand that right?

@GnosticChristianBishop
But would you be for eliminating cash? I am not for obvious reasons to me. A cashless society would be a tyrannical society. Govt will use the banks against anyone who doesn't comply and make it impossible to travel or buy goods and services. The fact that most transactions are cashless is irrelevant. What is relevant is a govt mandated inability to not be able to do cash transactions. In my view you don't consider the ramifications and dangers of a all cashless world. "I'm sorry we have no record of you ever existing it might take months or even years to verify if you actually exist and had money. Our computers have no record of you."

Um, if I transact with cash what do I need a bank for? The bank doesn't print cash, the Treasury does under the direction of the federal reserve. The bank also doesn't dictate the value of cash. The only reason a bank would be needed is to write checks and conduct transactions using credit and debit cards. This is precisely why banks and govts want a cashless system not to mention weaponizing it for wrong thinking. I know, that would never happen.

Good thing I don't define myself by my skin color and all the other moronic identity BS. Sooner or later everyone around me will come begging for my skills and talents regardless of my skin color or their skin color. Identity politics is for short sighted, myopic, moronic, indoctrinated, imbeciles.

You guys are literally gay for Trump. You literally cannot stop talking about him. He is your everything.
I agree, I wish I could live in so many minds rent free. The funniest part is they all think who is President will some how make a difference in their day to day lives. When will they realize they are on their own and their lives will be what they make of it on their own. Govt doesn't give a flying F about you. To govt you are just a liability that needs to be managed so you don't muck up the status quo of ripping the taxpayer and the nation blind.

It means you can indict anyone for anything for any reason. Indictments without convictions are worthless. But those accusations are serious aren't they. I'm holding my breath.
If you were on the Grand Jury, wouldn't you want him indicted?

Is this where we all hold our breath again and say "they got Trump now, he's going down. " Trump seems rather unconcerned for a man facing 38 felony charges. Remember kids, you can indict a ham sandwich for being a ham sandwich. Indictments are meaningless without convictions.
"It's the seriousness of the accusations that matter, not what you can actually prove."

Antarctica would be a good testing ground to drop people off with whatever they would have on a trip to Mars and see if they could survive in an environment 100 times more life friendly than Mars.

I've written dozens of letters to my Congressman and to the Presidents. All you get from doing that is prewritten form letters blowing smoke up your ass. Try it sometime you will see. The letter is never read by the person it is sent to. How does knocking on peoples doors unannounced and regurgitating my philosophical and fiscal views to people I don't know achieve anything? They aren't the least bit interested. Are you interested in anything I have to say? No I am a moron to you so you are no help along with the other 50% of the population that are just like you. When the govt can no longer print worthless money, this will all come to an end and everyone in govt and the population at large with their head in the sand will say "How did we not see this epic financial collapse coming?" Then govt and everyone will blame everyone else while everyone loses all their hard earned money and wealth with nothing to show for any of it. The day will come. The price for all this deficit spending will be paid sooner or later by the people who can least afford it. Govt wont suffer, you will. And then you will blame me.

What am I doing about it? Well I vote for who ever I think might have some power to do something and say No, and they don't get elected. Or they do get elected then they go to Washington DC and do the exact opposite of what they say they are going to do like a petulant child and increase the federal debt by another 4 trillion dollars over the next 2 years. What did you do to attempt to prevent that?

You are the final word, I wont debate you on it. I've already debated it and been proven wrong using mathematical semantics. 1.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 is not 2
Just one question is 1.899999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 the same as 1.9 since 1.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 is the same as 2?

.9999999999 infinitely is equal to one. Just as 1.888888888888888888 infinitely would be equal to 2. You are the final word. You are right I am wrong.

@Math_Enthusiast
.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 for infinity. you will never get to 1. Just as 1.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 for infinity will never get to 2 all numbers are infinite within themselves. Its math reduced to semantics. I agree 1=1= 2 in the world we live in but I also accept that 1+1 can never equal 2 when mathematical semantics are used. Both are correct when the terms are established when asking if 1+1=2. You must come to terms with the term infinite.

@Deb-8-a-bull
All numbers are infinite. Every number can be infinite within itself. This is the semantics of math. 1+1 = 2 when the semantics are removed. I to appeal to your frustration as I lost a debate about thinking 1+1 = 2. It does and it doesn't. You must define the terms when asking if 1+1 = 2. Are you asking in simple terms or semantical mathematical terms. Numbers are infinite or rounded off. Everyone lives in the simple rounded of version of 1+1 = 2. The person who argues for the sake of argument will argue that 1+1 doesn't = 2 and they would be right.

Numbers are infinite so 1+1 can never equal 2. Math, like everything else can ultimately be reduced to semantics. 1+1=2 when it comes to paychecks, hours worked and taxes, that you can be sure of. You can argue 1+1 doesn't equal 2 and you would be right when you reduce it to semantics.

@Vegasgiants
we already had this discussion. You think endless growing national debt by trillions of dollars every year that will never be repaid isn't a problem. I said you are right I am wrong. My position on this thread is the same, neither party will address the debt and spend the country into oblivion. I will just assume your position is the same. Govt can incur endless debt because endless growing debt is meaningless. And again you would be right and I am wrong.
Created:
"which party is more likely to help the average person out economically?"
I would say neither, both are spending the country into oblivion. All they do is argue about what to spend us into oblivion on. Both parties don't get there is no more money and the country is bankrupt. Raising the debt ceiling shouldn't even be a topic of discussion but rather freezing all current spending levels for at least 10 years.

I think Atheism like religion (god) are social constructs. I say god is a social construct because it would be highly unlikely that any form of intelligence that can transcend time, space and matter takes a human form. Neither can be proved or disproved. Both exist and don't exist at the same time. You cant make someone believe the truth anymore than you can make them believe a lie. Lies are truth and truth are lies. You will believe whatever helps you sleep at night and deal with your existence. Me personally, I think the universe and everything in it comes from intelligent design but at the same time I don't think that designer gives a shit about outcome let alone whether or not you win a sporting event. Life is a never ending series of ups and downs then you die. After that I haven't a clue what happens and would not be so arrogant to suggest that I did. Some people are born with a silver spoon and never suffer and some get the shittiest deal imaginable. I don't think anything controls your life outcome other than yourself, unforseen random interferences and your actual mental and physical limitations will dictate just how much you can achieve.

Sooo should anyone read it and take it seriously or is it all just made up political rhetoric? I wouldn't know, I didn't do the investigation and have no way in hell of telling who is and isn't lying about anything in the report. Quite frankly the amount of faith one needs to believe anything govt says is equal to that of believing in god or the flying spaghetti monster. My personal opinion, it really doesn't matter if the report is 100% accurate and true, nothing will come of it as nothing ever does, so its a waste of time and money. Govt is unaccountable to or for anything.
