To paraphrase Orwell...All lives matter, but some lives matter more than others.

It's the nature of the beast, irrespective of it's skin tone.

TRUMP:   Virus, what virus?....Oh this virus.

If the universe has a beginning, a span and an end and perhaps a re-initiation, then the very nature of the sequence is deterministic....Factor in a corresponding sequence of material/universal evolution, and determinism seems to be a very logical assumption...Call it a GOD principle if you will, but logically that's probably not going to be some guy floating around on a cloud somewhere else.

But as you say... How can we know?

And what is seaonla infor,aton?

LOL....How so what?

Wild imagination and a pond.

Wikipedia is as Wikipedia does.

And god outside the universe is a valid but wholly unproven hypothesis.

Makes sense to me. 

Plurality seems to be the Dart word of the moment.

When one views the night sky, Aquarius is not so obvious.  Yet Orion, Ursa Major and Cassiopeia seem to dominate, so what is their significance?

And what significance do you place on the current positions of Venus and Mars which dominate the early morning sky?

Selective astrology always seems to miss the point somewhat. As there are billions of stars out there, yet only a loose grouping of 16 are currently doing the biz for you.

Me thinks that astrology was all made up for the deception of the gullible....Very much like religion.

Surprisingly eloquent Dr F.

Though Saggitouous was a bit of a let down.

That's a bizarre set of criteria for choosing the President of the U.S.A.

They are inept, but hopefully they won't make too much of a mess of things, but I'm afraid that they might.

Yep. For sure.

Polygamy doesn't explain multiple dads.

Just pointing out that your comparison wasn't sound though.

And as you  continually point out, neither is the bible logical,  consistent or sound.....Just a compilation of  hand-me-down tales and supposition.

Buying a Presidency is more of a metaphorical term, though nonetheless appropriate.

How do connections and names develop without deep pockets?

And your reply somewhat backs up the notion that competency is somewhat irrelevant.

Power corrupts as they say, so perhaps we should always expect what we end up with.

God Save the Queen, hey?

Have you not heard of polygamy?

You're either a Trumpeter  or your not. 

So the opinion of any hard line supporter is anecdotal..

In a fair election it's the always the floating voters that decide.

Though it has to be said that the U.S. Presidential electoral system is far from straightforward and fair.

And let's be honest...Did you expect anything else from a debate involving Trump.

And you're right, Biden didn't really do himself any favours either.

It sort of begs the question...Aren't there any decent, younger, more competent people with  presidential aspirations  in The U.S?

And the answer is  yes, of course.......But obviously, none that can afford to buy a Presidency.

Where is the link between SEXIST, RACIST MEN. and wearing a mask.

And if you cannot breathe, then I would suggest that you have an underlying health condition or perhaps even Covid-19.

I work in the health sector and have to wear a mask everyday, and as yet have not suffocated.

And what as any of this got to do with, pride in a social sub-group?

Capitalism is hierarchical.

Communism is hierarchical.

Anarchy is hierarchical.

You're part of a system whether you like it or not.

How you fit into a system is entirely up to you and your capabilities.

You only think that whilst you can.

Death is easy...Though dying is sometimes tough.

To be successfully immortal you would need to stop physical ageing at specific point.

So at what point would you choose to stop physically ageing.

No....You can keep him.

Thankfully the media is currently nice and quiet on Royal issues.

Prince Harry.....Grandson of a Greek and a German....LOL.

It just all proves a point.

What is a foreigner.

The U.S.A. is a nation of foreigners.....Swedes or Slovenians for example.

The U.K. too.

In fact the U.S.A and the U.K. are as about as un-indigenous and culturally impure as Nations get. 

If you're going to have sex, make sure that you've got a condom.

Why do you expect that "the girl" should be the one that takes responsibility for your sexual urges.

Condoms...No invasive procedures necessary....Buy online if you're to embarrassed to go to the store and always have one in your pocket for that opportune moment.

I would suggest that irresponsible men are perhaps the biggest cause of unwanted pregnancy, and yet the girl is the one that always has to carry the can.... And yet males seem to be the biggest pontificators on abortion issues.

Different time, different place, different America.

It's next year you need to worry about, not 1860.

A few select locals might benefit and the U.S. would get a canal.

Why not just trade more with Panama anyway and not steal a canal.

I would suggest that your interest, really is all about forcibly acquiring a canal.

Is it wise to base your future expectations upon a hope.

You are essentially hoping that a 74 year old self righteous, hypocritical, racist, extreme conservative is somehow going to change for the better....No chance.

In terms of being a figure head for the U.S.A. Donald Trump is undoubtedly the most inept President in living memory, if not of all time.

I once had high hopes for Donald....But I was so wrong.

A hypothetical question, so any hypothetical answer will do.

When is a Native American not a Native American?

It really only depends upon how far you want to keep turning the clock back.

Where does money come from?

Interesting question if you think about it.

Nihilistic materialism is something of  a contradiction, as materialism gives meaning to a lot of people, including a great many hypocritical theists.

And existentialism probably describes what most people think without thinking.

SOUND ADVICE.

The Earth was known to be a spheroid long before the U.N. was created.

And observe, and you will be aware of it's rotation.

Not that I think for one minute, that you actually believe that the Earth is flat.

What is your reasoning for this?

Emotion or Logic.

I'm not advocating anything.

I'm simply suggesting that certain  sub-groups may naturally diminish, as a result of globalisation and lifestyle changes.

I'm not suggesting that this will happen overnight though.

And if so, culture will change accordingly.

I think what you actually mean is......F**k the locals, U.S.A. knows best.

And I think with the word plurality,  you mean, enough to wave a few stars and stripes at the T.V. cameras.

Within social guidelines, not influenced by religious and emotional overthought, then yes.

If you take the thought and consequent emotion out of the equation for a moment and just regard physiological processes, the number of zygotes involuntarily discarded by women on a daily basis is considerable.

So realistically, why should adding thought and emotion to the equation make any difference?

It might be argued that thought and emotion make us what we are, and I would agree....But thought and emotion does not make us and affect us all the same way.

So abortion is OK for some, and not OK for others and realistically no one is right and no one is wrong.

Similarly, that's why people of the  U.S and the U.K  for example, will happily support sending troops around the world to kill others in the pursuit of ideology and self righteousness.

Nowadays certain women think it's cool to have kids when they are either old and past it, or not at all.

So certain sub-cultures are wittingly under-breeding themselves out of contention, as it were.

Homogenization is clearly the way forwards, probably with a future tendency towards a slightly darker skin tone and Asiatic features.

And what we think, will have long since become irrelevant.

Maybe.

Depends how you choose to look at things.

Some might rightly argue......A new life similar to both parents and not yet separate from, and dependant upon the mother.....Therefore, wholly the mother's responsibility.

And nothing whatsoever to do with a load of pious believers of nonsense....As I said, that's just one way of looking at it....Other options are available.

Well there's an interesting juxtaposition between old and new in your reply.

And I wouldn't fully agree with your suggestions regarding women, in both a primal and modern context.

Similarly, induced abortion is a fairly recent development, that is judge by a variety of standards both old and new.

Though not so long ago both pregnancy and infant mortality were simply regarded as the facts of life that they were....Dead kid, move on with little thought or tears and have another go.

Have we become more civilised and advanced, or are we just becoming unrealistic softies, with a tendency for some, to pass the buck back to a mythical deity whenever necessary.

Given that people never fully agree about anything, what are the chances of an invading army being welcomed by 100% of Panamanians.

A past event may or may not have been regarded as criminal.

Judging past events by todays standards is pointless.

There's no going back and changing things.

And if we did go back and change past events, there's a strong chance that neither of us would now exist.

The past is far longer that a couple of hundred of years ago. Or as I suggested are you just being P.C. selective. 

Weapons effect is a scientifically established principle.

It all comes under the same banner I suppose, and is  all an inevitable consequence of humanity.

An automatic weapon maybe....Preferably inside the secure community/prison.

Sleeping around is basic instinct.

Most people would sleep around given half the chance.

It's just that women get pregnant and men don't, which makes it easy for men to pontificate.

Yep, but would the guard be inside or out, when the mob is thronging at the gates.

Death sustains life and dog eats dog, it's the nature of things....And we like to think that we are noble, but we are all as selectively moral as the next person.

And religion and the bible are what they are, and not everyone agrees with everyone else....Though some people like to regard religion and the bible as more than what they can prove them to be..

Nonetheless, if one bases their morality on the bible, then one must also accepts the selective morality contained therein.

What what?

What what?

When is a gated community not a prison?

I'm not sure how you invade a sovereign territory, peacefully.
