Entitled debt forgiveness for education is laziness, at best
-->
@Dr.Franklin
Education is social evolution.

And not working hard is a consequential social expectation.

And enslaving the Third World is a temporary solution.

And debt is just a part of monetary make believe.

And what of the future Doc?

What Are Your Thoughts on Havana Syndrome?

I'm not sure if it was the same syndrome.

Leadership is not a power trip.

Someone should have told  that to the Orange Guy. LOL

And someone should have told that to the Dubya guy 20 years ago.

Enduring freedom. LOL


Afghanistan is a lawless wilderness....Ask the Ruskies....They learned the hard way too.

Of course, that was back in the days when The USA and Osama were best buddies. LOL

What are fundamental basis of knowledge and truth?
-->
@Tradesecret
All of the above is generated by a developed physiological function and it's processes.

Amazing but seemingly true.

To speculate otherwise is simply to speculate otherwise and not to exceed internal function and processes.

We are currently switched on and working.

And one day in the not to distant future we will cease to be switched on and working.

As far as we can actually know that will be the end of our particular story.

Though some people benefit from avoiding the known truth and speculating otherwise.

Though that is not to say that there might be an unknown truth.

But we don't actually know that.

High Schools need to teach financial literacy
@RatMan.

I don't agree entirely with the title of this thread....Perhaps competency would have been preferable to "literacy"......College Students that don't already know how to read and write, perhaps shouldn't be College Students.

As I stated. Masked are not intended to stop the virus per se. Only to prevent the spreading of particulates, should one sneeze or cough. Logical common sense as Mr Ebuc would say.

A mask will prevent the rapid spread of airborne particles, in instances such as coughing sneezing and exhaling, it is merely a precautionary measure when in close proximity to potential carriers.....Common sense logic.

Should the age of consent be lowered?
-->
@TheUnderdog
Yep...Sex.....More human overthink.

Of course, "consent" is the key word.

And how do you police consent.

You can't is the simple answer.


So you create a loose set of guidelines and laws, and trust that most adults will adhere to them, and hope that minors will pay attention to adult advice.

Works reasonably well....Which is probably the best that can be expected.

Everyone needs sexual gratification, it's a primary drive.

Not that I'm advocating bestiality though.....Other options are available.


Organic material is rendered to food, it's just that some organic material is cuter and fluffier that other's.

Worrying about what we eat is human overthink....Typical but nonetheless overthink.....It's the evolved nature of the beast.


So let's go have a lentil burger  and then go  blow those Isis-K to fuck.

What is a supernatural looking thing?

I must admit that I've never seen one.

Human/Social evolution is based upon survival of the fittest.

Intellectual fitness is as important as physical fitness, if not more so....Though the two do perhaps go hand in glove.

Gentrification is the manifestation of human social evolution....So therefore an inevitable thing.

"Good" or not is how on cares to construct it.....I personally think that it is probably for the better.

As if you have ever experienced or remotely understand "tyranny like conditions".


Wearing a mask and social distancing and being advised to have a non-obligatory jab, is not quite the same as having you fingernails pulled out because you referred to Joe Biden as senile.

Why do Atheists arbitrarily and irrationally say Miracles don't exist?
-->
@Tradesecret
The bible is largely myth.

The supernatural bits are the supernatural bits.

And the actual bits are the actual bits.

And one can believe some of it, or none of it, or all of it.


Things sometimes happen that are not readily explained, so we sometimes like to refer to them as miracles. 

And sometimes we would rather that they weren't explained.

Questions for transgenders/trans ideologists.
-->
@949havoc
I find that questioning why we do what we do, is something of a time machine exercise.

We should perhaps accept that we do what we do, and move forwards from there.

To a point where history becomes what we did.

Though I think that we already do this anyway.

We have a tendency to attempt to shut the stable door after the horse as bolted, by attempting to shut the stable door after the horse has bolted.

And so we eventually shut the door, as it were.

And people eat processed food but still live longer than they would have 200 years ago.

And what would the Covid death total have been if we hadn't have put countermeasures in place

Perhaps one less if Pressley had taken some.

@n8nrgmi
Atheists have a conditioned database, just as theists do,  that's all there is to it.

And a miracle is how one cares to define it.

Everything boils down to data management in the end.

I think therefore I do or don't believe in a deity.

Well...One can be objective without being overly scientific.

And science is as complicated or uncomplicated as one cares to make it.

And the term "race" is loosely defined.

So it is really a case of where does one begin categorising and stop sub-categorising.

Moral capacity is a variable concept, greatly influenced by variable conditioning and not directly relative to mental capacity or incapacity.

Genetic modification and development is such that better and smarter, was/is an inevitability.

In simple terms better and smarter, tends to breed with better and smarter.

And history clearly shows us that better and smarter certainly does have a variable approach to morality.


And physical characteristics are generally pretty standard anyway..... One head, two arms, two legs, with a few cosmetic variations, as it were.
