How?
Because the U.S. does not have a sensible approach to the public acquisition and ownership of lethal weaponry.
You've just got to live with it gunslinger.

If you don't ignore me and I don't ignore you, ad infinitum.
Then nothing is won, and nothing is lost.
But If I eventually fail to reply it is probably because I have better things to do.

Well done Joe.
Unions are just political organisations that manipulate workers for political reasons.
And for sure, if you're genuinely sick you're genuinely sick.
Though over here in the UK being off sick is currently a metaphor for Christmas shopping.

That's not how the world works.
Well, the world just spins around and around relative to its Cosmic situation
And we've made it to about 8 billion, despite the inevitability of death.
So, an abortion or two is not currently such a problem in that respect
Unless you read a lot more into the whole material evolution thing.
But of course, there is more than one hypothesis available.

Gender used to be the same as sex, until someone hijacked the dictionary.
People are always hijacking the dictionary though.
As far as I am concerned, I am of a binary species and so are you.
And for sure, social evolution and therefore species evolution is what it is and will become what it will become.

Trinity is just theistic gobbledegook.
Or, are you're saying that three GODS created the Universe.
In the beginning GODS created the heavens and the Earth.
Ah, someone missed the S off in translation.
I see.
Do you know which one created which bit, and who witnessed who's bit?
Does it say in the BOOK?

If a GOD created something, then it could not also witness the act.
For that, a GOD would have needed a witness.
The above statement (#156) was a tad silly.
Admirable devotion to biblical mythology, but a tad silly.

Such was the disparity imposed by natural hierarchy, intellectual imbalance and consequent lack of knowledge.
Notwithstanding that the majority of a serf's short life was taken up with basic survival.
Even so, the serf was still a necessary part of the social system.

Well, other species are not homo sapiens.
And I did say that hermaphroditism does occur.
I was simply pointing out that the modern buzz word "non-binary" is an inappropriate compound.
As the human species is a binary species, where procreation relies upon the fusion of male and female gametes.

Non-binary is an inappropriate compound.
We are a binary species.
Which is not to say that hermaphroditism doesn't occur.
And asexuality is a life choice.
Like atheist or apolitical.
Or abanana.

Poly thinks that men aren't qualified to talk about women.
Even though we've known each other forever* and are fully aware of each other's anatomical differences.
Nonetheless, genetic diversity necessitates binary reproductive systems.
One could easily assume that it was designed that way.
And Adam and Eve just rolls of the tongue better than Eve and Adam.
Presumably when GODDO was developing its binary species concept, it was necessary to give equal consideration to both.

Take 26 million people and programme them with a consistent data set and you end up with North Korea.
Aberrations will occur and will be removed, and this will be regarded as necessary.
In this respect, the North Korean system of population management is fascinating for the outside observer.
Don't we witness this to a certain degree in China?
With the suppression of ethnic individuality.
And also, to a degree isn't free will a misnomer wherever we live?
Don't we all submit to a system of population control, however liberal our systems might seem in comparison to NK?

Those facts are wrong.
Yes, that is correct, those aren't actually facts.
In fact, no scriptural narrative is factual.
So, we might be able to pin down locations.
But as for what people may have uttered.
We have no way of substantiating anything that might have been said.
And what might have been said, certainly wasn't uttered in English.

Well, Stephen.
And you're accused of trolling.
It would be futile to try and explain the internal chemistry that is spirituality, to a brain so intelligent and transcended that fails to overlook the basic concepts of reality.
Whatever reality might be of course.

@YouFound_Lxam
This forum is awash with argument and counter argument.
Which proves that nothing has ever been factually substantiated, either for or against the existence of a creator GOD, whose name if it actually exists might be Jesus or Dave for all anybody knows.
Or Daisy.
Or Big Boom.
Or nothing at all.
So, prove me right or wrong.
And I will prove you wrong or right.
Well, of course neither of us will prove anything other than ongoing inconclusivity.

Nah.
GODO was Jesus's dad Deb.
GODO being an acronym.
Gentleman Of Dubious Origin.
Who snook up in the night and gave Mary one whilst she was dreaming about the donkey.
Daft Joe was out back feeding the donkey.
Or tending to the sheep, as it were.
Jesus! exclaimed Mary
God almighty! exclaimed Joe
Baaaaaa! exclaimed the sheep.

Because ownership of land is a temporary assumption and possessions are for as long as you last.
And if only anarchy could be so passive.
So, Mr A chooses X for himself, and everyone else chooses X for themself.
So, in the absence of a greater authority to decide who is entitled to X, then what?
Well, being the U.S. I suppose the guns come out of the cupboard.
Well, I would imagine that the guns would already be out in an anarchistic utopia.

Can I just point out:
A. We don't even know that a creator GOD actually exists.
B. Therefore, we have no idea what a hypothetical creator GOD might see or reject.
Might I suggest that you temper such hypotheses with I would suggest, or in my opinion, or as I see it, or as I interpret things, or it is my belief etc.

Well, perhaps I should report the post then.
And how might I be a sycophant?
And what is sycophant nonsense?
You say a lot of stupid stuff.
And children are fed knowledge from the moment they are born.
And what once wasn't available to them, is now available at the tap of a button.
Innocent 9-year-olds is a naive assumption.
Sycophants are the ones wearing red caps and stupid grins on their faces, standing behind Donald Trump.

Read my posts on this subject and you will find, that in the main I agree with you.
I was just responding to TW's naive comment about 9 year-olds.
Perhaps TW did have a sheltered, austerely religious upbringing.

Fair enough.
I view Xi with mixed feelings.
On the one hand he seems quite ruthless.
And on the other he displays a certain pragmatism.
That's what it takes I suppose.

@TWS1405
And it is somewhat stupid to suggest that a 9-year-old will have no idea of sexuality.
Maybe in some retro thinking isolationist religious community.
Where young men spend their days wanking behind haystacks and then spend their evenings praying to the Lord for forgiveness.
And the young women.
Well, you can dream about what the young women get up to the next time you visit the metaphorical haystack.

What's a passive anarchist?
The opposite of an aggressive anarchist I suppose.
Anarchy being every person for themself.
Which is OK until everyone decides upon anarchy.
I'm not sure that total anarchy can ever be a natural state of co-operation and good intentions.
And possessions are temporary adornments, and all ownership of land is theft. So it's said.
And isn't life a ride?
Some might say a rollercoaster.
One big up and down if you're lucky.

One can be a potatoist or a carrotist if one so decides to be.
And most philosophy is nonsense overthink.
Though this thread is supposedly current events.
Should potatoism be falsifiable in our discourses?
