"Hard work" never makes a fortune.

Jeff Bezos is a successful entrepreneur.

He has the same amount of time available, as we all do.

Iran is a Nation of people controlled by backwards thinking  bullies.

Backwards thinking bullies who themselves were controlled by backwards thinking bullies.

If you teach your kids nonsense, they will grow up believing in nonsense.

Such is culture.

Yet another penalty kicking contest Doc.

No religion is better.

@RatMan

At the end of the proverbial day, is there much difference between a shit beating neo-nazi and a shit beating hardline anarchist.

All just shit beaters really.

All brawn and no brains, as it were.

It's far too late anyway Doc.

Did you just marry someone Doc?

I always find this an interesting  topic.

Because procreation is the necessity and recreational sex is the derivative thereof.

If you have a penis, testicles and produce sperm, then you are a fully reproductive male.

So not participating in normal reproductive sex is a choice, as is where you might stick your equipment for fun.

 

What you choose to do with your equipment for pleasure, should be of no concern.....(And I stress, is of no concern to me)

But what also strikes me is...... What is nowadays loudly promoted as the social norm in liberal societies, still isn't quite the social norm. There is still an underlying element of taboo and consequential justification needed in such discussions.

Why?....Because procreation is the inherent drive and recreational sex is the acquired derivative thereof... Whether that be a physiological acquisition or a sociological acquisition.

Nonetheless......There's already 7.9 billion people clogging up this planet...So make love...Not babies.

Terror is....For sure.

Well....Future value is a financial term, relative to the value of an investment.

However, in this context, it is the assertion that future generations of life have value.

At the end of the day it's all about people, and the normal but seemingly bizarre stuff that they get up to.

A whole lot of nodding and wailing at some imaginary guy in the sky.

A distraction for the masses I suppose....Whilst the innovators get on with innovating.

Here's a new bomb you dumbasses, go and play with each other and have some fun.....LOL 

Such is the evolution of intelligence, hey Bro.

All good fun.

Which definition of "sus" are you applying to Rick Astley.

Big business, so it ain't going to happen.

Notwithstanding that there is estimated to be over 400 million guns in circulation anyway. So already out of control.

As we saw at the end of the Trump debacle, insurrection is easily motivated....It will only take one Charismatic nutter to motivate the gullible and their guns.

And you certainly can't rely on  Law Enforcement Officers to be impartial.

Reliance on the goodwill of the people, is a knife edge thing.

A person of Middle Eastern heritage will have a shared ancestry with various ideological adherents.

Though selective breeding will no doubt refine DNA.

No one has a clue if Adam or Eve actually existed, let alone what they looked like.

Though one would assume,  that they would actually have been fairly swarthy  and hairy in appearance.

Stylised images are what they are.

And we all descended from goo, and what colour that was I don't know....Perhaps it was green. 

And CRT is usually expounded by critical racists.

Or are we discussing Cathode Ray Tubes.

Is that so?

You will always find that someone is always controlling something, irrespective of  label.

The hierarchy of natural ability, as it were.

Put two people on a desert Island and one would take control.

The level of fairness in a society, depends upon collective thinking and sensibilities contained therein.

Do you feed the poor or let them starve to death....You feed them...But you don't provide them with a luxury apartment and a Ferrari.

Any gang with a propensity for violence is a terrorist group.  

@RatMan

If it was an England v Iran final, I expect that the Doc would be cheering on the Middle Easterners.

It all boils down to potatoes....Or the lack of.

And the Orange Dutchman didn't help of course.

I wonder who the Doc would support in an England v Netherlands final.

Luck, staying fit and consuming a balanced diet, and of course intermittent medical intervention, is what will hopefully prolong life.

Without medical intervention most people on this site would be dead by now.

Coffee isn't the elixir of life.....But that is not to say that it doesn't possess certain beneficial properties.

Though like a lot of beneficial things, over consumption often results in negative effects.

@RatMan

I read any thread that looks interesting, and comment accordingly.

The above comment that I responded to was certainly worthy of a response.

And I have cats and terriers. And terriers are by far the better ratters.

Pussy....In my mind, registers as quite an erotic word.

Racism is racism....It's a natural phenomenon dictated by internal processing.

Discrimination is the natural effect....It's unavoidable but manageable.

Some people are better at managing their responses than others.

Did GOD create us or did we create GOD.

Only contradictory if you don't bother to think about it.

Both.

Means both.

As I stated elsewhere.

We're all limited by the limited data we have available.

@RatMan

Now, don't over do it Ratty.

Congratulating doubtless positivity......That just wouldn't do.

A true 100% trustworthy friendship is a very rare thing indeed.

I would suggest that generally we make good acquaintances.

My wife and daughters are my best friends and the only people that I trust implicitly.

I'm in both camps.

I believe nothing, but run with the idea of creation and subsequent evolution, to and endpoint, whereby a GOD principle is achieved and the universal sequence of events is re-initiated.

So.....Creation - Evolution - God Principle is achieved - Universal Decline - Re-initiation of the sequence.

And 2000 year old tales are just that, but nonetheless propose a  GOD principle.... As do all creation hypotheses, unsurprisingly.

Q. Did GOD create us, or do we create GOD?

A. Both.

Well.

I would call that undiplomatic.

Though, Mexico does have a poor women's rights record.

The simple truth was, Trump was not qualified to do the Job.

Don't you just hate games that are decided by dodgy penalty decisions.

120 mins of intense effort and all decided by a free shot at goal......I also dislike penalty shoot outs, for the same reason.....You might as well just have a penalty kicking contest.

Sociological cause and effect for sure.

And "The Bronze Age Collapse" is a ridiculous  statement if one considers it in the context of sociological cause and effect.

The cause of sociological cause and effect is the development of knowledge, as it still is.

Sociological cause and effect, is why we now use complex electronics and computing and reside in centrally heated houses, rather than bronze axes, mud huts and a fire.

A GOD principal is sound, though some religious traditionalists variously apply whimsicality to their chosen version.

The GOD principal, is creation and effect and perhaps an end result.....Not a ridiculous floaty about bloke that fucks virgins and nails his kid to a cross.

The British are the dispersed tribes from all over the place...As are Americans......And also as Jews have become.

A Jew is defined by ideological and historical beliefs.

Dick mutilation is the badge of honour.

And dress sense is variable.....Traditionalists like black outfits with a natty hat and a large beard.

Large beards and tattoos are currently in vogue in Britain at the moment....Though British tradition is a fluid thing.

Trad Muslims also go for large beards and dick mutilation, which is not surprising considering their shared Middle Eastern heritage.

Though they diverged somewhat on the outfit and head fashion, preferring the desert look.

People are curios things

They did and do all sorts of stuff.

Ah.

So no ideals available now.

Just a them and me scenario.

Well it's difficult to say, without a fairly well detailed plan of the hypothetical enclosure.

One cannot come up with a strategy, without knowing the available options.

I.Q. or the lack of might also be a factor.

So white/orange supremacists and people with a low I.Q.

That just about covers it, I guess.

Ah.

So what would I ideally do.

Ideally, I would stun the lions with my lion stunner app.

Reparations means cash....That's what it's all about.

That's why certain people have to keep harping on about Black slavery and nasty  White Men.

I got an education and made a living by working at it.

Not by sitting on my arse expecting someone else to do it for me.

Yes it is.

Wiki is the best online quick research tool.

Positive energy is good, regardless of how it might be achieved.

 

In terms of human development.

Sort of states the obvious really.

Things happened as they did and not as they didn't.

Reading something else into it, long after the event, passes the time of day I suppose.

The alternative to development and progress is stasis, and this tends not to happen.

If anything, the development and application of knowledge has been increasing exponentially over the last 2000 years.

The "Axial Age" is just one phase thereof, as was the industrial revolution, and as is the current technological revolution.

A few hundred years from now an Alternative Intelligence might well be pondering over the same information.

I wonder if A.I. will invent their own GODS in their own image.

Just as we did.

How do people find the time to protest.

Presumably they have nothing better to do.

Though I suppose that's logical, however one chooses to look at it.

Illegal is as illegal does.

One World one home.

And how one survives is dictated by ones own abilities.

And if we really cared we would.

Nope...... We are inherently selfish and consequently, selectively moral.

So pick up your pizza, drive on past the scruffy man in the box, and be content with yourself.

And don't forget to put your loose change into the charity tin.

A name is something allocated to something for a reason.

In this instance, location, familiarity and shared information.

Anglo Saxon Celts burst and Israel disappeared....Nope...Things just changed and developed.

And don't forget the bigger World picture.....There was a whole lot going on elsewhere.

We tend to concentrate on the stuff relative to ourselves.

And ritual genital mutilation is just one of the many bizarre things that people get up to.

Material evolution is ongoing and progress is self demonstrable.

The point of material evolution, if there is a point, can only be guessed at.

People tend to get bogged down in Darwinism and overlook the bigger picture....Just as people tend to get bogged down in religion and avoid the bigger picture.

Perhaps getting bogged down is necessary.

Creation and and an evolutionary sequence, has dictated that  both religion and science are necessary to the process of understanding and development.

I would refer to this as a GOD principle.

My guess is that it's all happened before.

And if everything goes as it should, then it will all happen again.

Worship not actually required....But everything plays it's part.....Maybe.

Jibe.

@RatMan

Hmmmmm.

Attitude.

Point taken.

Exactly.

Cherry picking the juicy bits of history.

Just as you cherry picked one line from my previous post.

Sound science then Jane.

UFO's is UFO's.

And technological objects from outer space, currently aren't.

It does seem odd to suggest, that a technologically advanced civilisation came once and didn't bother to come again.

And similarly, why would they have hidden underwater or at the North Pole.

Also a bit of fanciful imagination me thinks.....And there's nothing wrong with that.

The Roman Empire was perhaps the most influential in terms of human social development.

And the U.S.  has undoubtedly,  been greatly influenced by post colonial Romanism.

And the British Empire, like it or not....Was quite an amazing feat of global human management.

We've still got little bits of real estate, dotted about here and there.

Hong Kong was never going to last though.

Alexander also had a good bash....But had a tendency to go East and peaked too early.

My Goddess has a Vagina.

What's new?

The proposition is devoid of reason.

Nonetheless:  If either could do it, I would chose either.

Though two pairs of hands might be better than one.
