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.

No idea what that means.

Sort of a loser's response.

All mouth and no trousers as we say over here.

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.

How can an article not be opinionated?

So how did Xi and his family accumulate their considerable wealth in such an egalitarian society.

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.

And you think that the Chinese Cental Government is above corruption?

Just to reiterate the saying:

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

We have a kitchen and Mrs Zed and I own more than one plate.

We rarely eat out.

Who knows what happens in restaurant kitchens.

Or what bodily fluids get whisked into your mayo.

Though as the saying goes,

What the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve over.

There's clever and then there's clever.

And then there is sensible.

And then there is individuality.

And then there are those that go Baaaaaaaa on command.

And where do you think you might head for?

And what would you do there, in order to survive, in a way that is better than what you would be leaving behind?

Do you have valuable skills to take with you?

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.

So, let's say that you decide to become a latter-day nomad as you suggested.

A. How would you afford it.

B. What would you be prepared to give up, so that you might afford it.

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?

Hey. Whatever.

@Poly

"Knowing one is a woman in a male body".

So, if one knows that one is a woman in a male body.

Then one also knows that one is in fact male.

@Poly

Very true Pol.

But don't forget the nuances of personality, mind and soul.

Even men have nuances of personality, mind and soul.

For sure Poly.

Even if that is a pipette fucking an egg on a petri dish.

@Poly

And so, what will you constructively add to the debate.

The nuances of personality and mind are nurtured traits.

And soul is an assumption, or a nurtured assumption we consign to personality and mind.

The base reproductive systems of the human species are inherent and undeniably binary.

Male and female, sperm and egg.

Wherein lies men's hatred for women.

Only in your personality and mind Poly.

Aside for a very few hardy souls, social inclusion comes with modern social expectations at a modern social cost.

Doesn't matter where one travels to.

So, would you accept the label of anarchist. Albeit a passive anarchist (another assumption)

Though it seems that you tolerate the current system as I do, sort of along for the ride as long as a reasonably stable status quo is maintained.

And England beat Iran 6-2.

And the USA could only manage a draw with Wales.

Not that I'm at all bothered Doc.

Is Ireland in it?

And well done you Saudi Lads.

@Poly

Everyone is someone's idiot.

Nice discussing this with you.

Bedtime now.

Good night.

PS.

Assuming that you do vote.

Do you therein feel a sense of inclusiveness? 

I'm a fan of Rogan Josh.

I've never tried a Liz Cheney, is it very spicey?

I prefer plain boiled rice with mine.

Well, the answer lies in the question.

The former is the majority will of the people and the latter isn't.

Though whether or not either the former or latter decision is the better in the long run cannot ever be judged.

And the basic idea of the system allows for the decision to be challenged after a fixed period.

Such a system would still require administrative and legal governance.

Though your previous questioning only asked how I might feel a sense of inclusion in a governmental process.

I'm not saying that I would want to challenge the current system.

As I've stated on previous occasions, I have a social niche I am comfortable with, and successive governments have not affected that comfort.

Hence, I do not feel the need to vote.

If one can choose sexuality, then this obviously implies that sexuality can be a consciously inspired decision rather than and inherently inspired decision.

Nurture rather than nature as it were.

Though whether this is actually the case is uncertain.

What's certain though is that evolutionary changes are affecting the way that the species functions, both physiologically and socio-psychologically.

Psychologically inspired mutation of base physiological systems perhaps.

Or maybe external environmental changes have an impact at a biological level.

Government by referendum, whereby all major decisions are voted for by the people and all majority decisions are unchallengeable for a fixed period.

As it stands a vote every five years just for a parliamentary representative is simply a powerless and meaningless notion of inclusion.

And therefore, let's not also forget that most of the 25% are selectively moral and hypocritical.

And If Republicans want to win votes, they've got to appeal to the wider populace.

A day is only 24 hours long and you've got to be somewhere doing something.

A lot of that time is dedicated to basic functionality.

A smaller proportion is hunter gathering time

And a smaller proportion still is leisure.

Don't be fooled by media propaganda into thinking that the lives of rich people are any different.

Contentment is in how we socially interact and how we manage our thoughts.

And "If" is a futile thought.

Steve Jobs suffered the effects of pancreatic cancer for eight years and died at the age of 56.

So just aspire to backward tick your dots better than that.

Who thought up all this binary/non-binary nonsense?

Egg producer, sperm producer is the binary basis of the species.

Developmental anomalies will occur, as they will in all areas of physiology.

And cutting ones dick off and calling oneself Daphne is one of the many possibilities of modern fantasyville.

That's not to say that modern fantasyville won't/isn't helping to shape the material future.

As ever: Teach your kids nonsense and they will grow up believing in nonsense.

Dick and Balls,

Pussy and All,

Wah Hey,

Let's play.

Up the back,

Up the front,

Doctor Doctor,

Make me a

C***.

And,

Doctor Doctor,

Make me a d***,

Nice and long,

And nice and thick.

Of course, of course,

Sir and madam,

Give me your money,

I'll make it happen.

So, there we are,

Is that what you wanted,

To play up the back,

And play up the front with.

Oh, thank you Doctor,

Thank you so much,

Something to fiddle,

And something to touch.

My pleasure Britney,

My pleasure Rick,

Though you already were,

A C*** and a D***.

This is a double negative Deb.

So actually means,

Fortunately, we can keep chatting.

Yep, doubly Mad.

But hey, maybe that's the way forwards.

Don't be fooled into thinking that true communism has ever functioned.

Over the years many authoritarian regimes have been wrongly labelled as communist.

Do you think that throughout the years of bread queues in the "Communist" East, that the social elite ever had to queue for bread?

But it doesn't take 5 minutes to launch a missile.

Who's got the quickest missiles is largely irrelevant.

Unless you can guarantee to shoot down every incoming missile.

Once they're on their way that's it,

You're fucked.

MAD.

And do you think that Big Brother isn't watching Lil Kim's every move.

And do you think that Uncle Xi isn't watching him too.

Your response seemed a tad naive, but perhaps that's just indicative of our age difference.

What I mean is:

Society taking the responsibility of population management and production out of the hands of Mum and Dad.

Disenfranchising a person or persons rights to natural selection.

To engineer the egg and the sperm outside of the womb, in order to weed out worthless chaff.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If material evolution has a purpose, then that purpose is likely to be greater than us.

Previously the masses would have been necessary, to guarantee the creation of the intellectual few, and so further evolutionary progress.

But if we learn how to engineer the few, the masses will become redundant.

And how better instigate a programme of disenfranchised people, than getting them to do it themselves?

Encouraging the rise of the career woman, thereby reducing fecundity.

Advocating and promoting the "normality" of same sex relationships.

Instilling in the immature the notion of gender dysphoria.

Etc.

Just look up feminism and its definition is quite specific.

The advocacy of women's rights on the basis of equality of the sexes.

Of course, any clever clogs or not so clever clogs can expand upon a basic tenet.

Especially if the sole purpose of the exercise is to generate a contentious discussion.

To be fair.

I doubt that Kim is foolish enough to think that DPRK could win and survive a global nuclear conflict.

I suppose what we should worry about is if his paranoia were to ever get the better of him.

Paranoia is the downside of isolationism.

So, social conditioning dictates expectation.

 

What's new?

Because British society is such that Parliamentary Politicians are merely the puppets and administrators of a Monarchic system.

The Monarchic system being an unelected and little changing aristocratically led establishment.

That's not to say that in terms of social stability the system does not function in the best interests of the populace.

Therefore, as I see it voting serves very little overall purpose other than to distract people's attention every now and then.

If one finds one's social niche and is content with it, then a different group of Parliamentary wannabees aren't going to make a great deal of difference.

Pre-natal developmental anomalies occur for sure.

And modern post-natal social expectations and consequent psychological development are such that as a species we are starting to move away from the necessities of base instinct.

Maybe media technology plays a big part in the spread of alternative information.

Though I'm not sure that the alternatives are particularly pragmatic.

Maybe it's the start of a predetermined evolutionary move towards a selectively engineered society.

Of course, that's based on the inference that material evolution has an objective.

What do you think?

Nej. Men jag vet hur man oversatter.

It doesn't matter what you are, or what you think you are, or what you might possibly be able to be because society now says that you can be.

It's all about an intense few seconds of carnal gratification.

And then roll over and go to sleep.

Or perhaps make a nice sandwich and watch T.V.

Until the next time you dream of being fucked senseless.

Or fucking someone senseless.

Unfortunately, the overbearing urge to reproduce can last for many years.

For sure, the bolder we get, the greater the outcome of the mistake, and the more difficult it will be to rectify.

And everyone not singing from the same hymn book is maybe a curse, or perhaps a blessing in disguise.

Though the more technical the mistakes become, the smaller the problem-solving group becomes also.

And those with the know-how all sing from the science hymn book.

Who was it said listen with your eyes?

Red and yellow and pink and green

Purple and orange and blue,

I can sing a rainbow,

Sing a rainbow,

Sing a rainbow too.

Well, that's not what they really think.

Well, it is in terms of data processing and output.

Electro-chemical signalling and conversion to some form of narrative, as it were.

Though said narrative is just a contrived justification response, that accompanies a socio-psychologically inspired response to a developed appreciation of diverse recreational sex behaviour and desires. 

So, Mummy was an egg, and Daddy was a sperm, and I will cut my dick off and call myself Daphne.

Simple.

Trevligt att traffas.

The bloke was telling you porkies* Deb.

Allan is Goddo.

Did you wash your hands and feet?

Makes all the difference.

Can't believe if your hands and feet are dirty.

Doesn't matter about your arse.

And any book of nonsense verse will do.

Try Edward Lear.

*Porkies:  Porky Pies (Lies).

Cockney rhyming slang.

Didn't want you taking a pork pie along next time.

Not appreciated by Allan types.

Goat pie perhaps.

Egg and lettuce

Yum Yum

Cheese and pickle

Dum De Dum

Pork Pie and Mustard Pickle

Give your todger a playful tickle.

Bingooooooooooooh.

That's me.

I never vote.

Well, I voted against Brexit because I thought that it was an unnecessary faff.

But I haven't voted in a General Election for, probably 40 years.

So, I will gladly accept your compliment.

Thank you.

Hey Deb.

Belief is worthless.

You can believe in anything.

Doesn't mean you actually have to believe

Just say or write, I believe.

It's just internal data, which you output as either sound waves or visually appreciable imagery.

A bit like shouting Booo, or writing Booo.

I believe in a GOD thing.

Easy Peasy.

Even though I don't really.

But it won't make any difference

I will still die, and.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................?

If you want a prophecy to become true, you will make it come true.

Either actually or metaphorically.

And then there's calculated guesswork.

And also, coincidence.

Nonetheless I regard the bible as a mythicised account rather than pure fiction.

And don't forget to wash your knob thoroughly.

As bacteria will thrive with or without a foreskin.

Though not all bacteria are harmful.

In fact, our symbiotic relationship should not be underestimated.

Gas is a temporary luxury.

@Poly

True.
