An interesting reference there, to the connection between Theism, obsession and compulsion. "Theism and other mental issues".

No.
Healthcare as in State provision of invasive and no invasive therapies, is only a possibility, relative to either State or personal affordability.
As with most things in modern human lives, accessibility is usually dictated by affordability.
As access to an unlimited money supply has only ever been considered a possibility and never been considered "a right", then it's unreasonable to expect that access to healthcare should be regarded as an inevitable right.

Species survival is not necessarily the issue.
The issue is, the continuation of the comfortable existence that we have come to expect.
Darwin proposed a theory relative to organic development, more specifically concerning higher species development. That's a very small chunk of time, that doesn't take into consideration past or present inorganic development. More specifically, Darwin is not concerned with the concurrent inorganic technological development/evolution associated with Wise Man. It is therein that concerns lie.
So things might change, and we will no doubt adapt as a species whilst the Planet is as the Planet will do, until such times as it is engulfed by the Sun. By which time the purpose and conclusion (if there is one) of The Earth's evolutionary processes will hopefully have been achieved.
And Wise Men/Women/Gender fluid, may or may not have escaped their Earthly prison, though it probably won't matter if they haven't.

Yep, sure.
But.
Media fuelled hype certainly, but government inspired.
Isolation, communities and countries in lockdown, white suited and bemasked people in all the media images.
So, just being a conspiracy theorist for a change and putting the question out there.
Global destabilisation perhaps.
High profile fake news diverting attention from the real issue.
What might we be missing?

I'm usually disparaging about conspiracy theories. But there just seems to be something odd about all the attention being given to yet another seasonal respiratory virus, that typically most people will recover from quickly and some older and more vulnerable people may die as a result of.
What's different this time around?

The whole coronavirus issue is a tad bizarre any way.
Why this level of concern over this particular virus.
Do some people know something that most people are not being told.
Did this emanate from a Chinese laboratory. Perhaps the cleaner fancied lab rat for supper.
Or is it all designed to destabilise and distract us from other things.
Definitely one for the conspiracy theorists this.
Though I'm not sure if there is any statistical evidence to support the notion that theists are more likely to panic buy than people of other conceptual persuasions.
Maybe this would be an opportune moment to get into the bidet business.

Well.
Capitalist Plutocracy in itself is a sort of hand in glove statement.
And inherent social hierarchy will inevitable bring about the collapse of attempts at true socialism.
So capitalism and/or plutocracy and/or totalitarianism would therefore be the most likely outcomes of said social collapse.
A lot would depend upon how broadly one defines wealth and consequently how one compares capitalism with plutocracy with totalitarianism.

"Bigots etc". This reference is a tad ambiguous and also a tad contradictory.....Perhaps could do with a bit of clarification...Perhaps it was late.
"He's just a man"....My ethos entirely....And I know that you fully understand the purpose of the demi god counter punch. Just as I understand the purpose of your ongoing anti-semite references.....Good game!.
"We who". Observers.
And Trump was a marching Zionist....wholly applicable to that particular thread.
"Zionist control America"....Interesting that you should raise the issue. All that I will say, is that U.S foreign policy speaks for itself.

Well.....Trends evolve.
And I would argue that evolution is it's own logical explanation.
We appear to have accepted the evolution of I.T. and mobile devices readily enough, with little moral and ethical consideration.
As I stated previously sexual methodology has always been variable and never really held back by taboo or assumed ethics and morality.
Anything other than consensual sex is rape regardless of methodology. So the rape argument seems somewhat misplaced.
Sex is as sex does and sex is a base function and base requirement, not to be confused with all the socio-conceptual moral and ethical window dressing we apply to procreation.
So if the needs of base function and requirement can be met robotically, then realistically there should be no moral or ethical dilemma.

"Precautionary measure".....Are we referring to a person, or to the Coronavirus?
And as I have never asked for anyone to be banned and never would do.....How am I being hypocritical?

@RoderickSpode
It's an evolutionary trend and therefore a symptom of a changing society.
Nonetheless, ever since humans started to place sexual taboos in the way of sexual reality then methodology started to adapt also.
It's very short sighted to assume that what one might consider to be normal and therefore righteous, has always been so and always will be so in the future. In other words there has and always will be a trend
<br>How long before implants allow people to achieve effortless sexual fulfilment?
Or perhaps better still, how about an implant that stops people worrying about the whole messy business of sex altogether.

Quasimi maybe a fashion designer or perhaps a rally driver.
So perhaps you trying to refer to Qasem Soleimani?
Does this totally unresearched gaffe, simply indicate how uniformed and reliant on propaganda you are?
One nations terrorist is another nations hero and the other one is always the unrighteous one.
Such are things I suppose.

Existence implies quality and quantity, whereas Time does not.
Time is and is always possible....As is Space....Two dimensionality isn't and always implies Three.
Things are dynamic and never static only if there are things that can be dynamic and never static....Matter, therefore Event and Duration.
Without matter there is no event and no duration...Time and Space wait.
And do we accept that events can occur and did occur and do occur without observation or knowledge?

That's a very broad and therefore inaccurate comparison....Fake News as your Orange Demi-God would say.
Though the sort of typically broad and inaccurate comparison that we have come to expect.
And Jews are not necessarily Zionists and vice versa...Another typically inaccurate assumption....Just like assuming that all Semites are Jews.

Unfortunately, if you assume a position at the top of the tree. Then that is where ultimately the responsibility should end up too.
Though I'm certainly not saying that lick arse administrations such as here in the U.K. shouldn't also shoulder a certain amount of the responsibility too.
I think that it's fair to say that Turkey has always been caught between a rock and a hard place, both strategically and culturally and I think that it is also fair to say that up until now Turkey has done it's utmost to contain and alleviate the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis.
The regime that held Syria together as a Nation was comparatively hard line and imperfect in the eyes of the West, but the West's misunderstanding, dissociated intolerance and therefore inaccurate understanding of cultural comparisons was always inevitably going to result in chaos once that the Assad regime was weakened. Lessons from the Iraq debacle we never learned or perhaps more likely were ignored. Why?
And so the chaos moves on and now Greece is caught between the rock and a hard place, exacerbated by regional history and ongoing tensions with it's neighbour and rival.
Western cultural bias tends to be as ever and that bias, will as ever creep westward as the problem also does so.
And the U.S in it's position of relative isolation, as ever will sit and point the finger and blame every one else and comfortably say Not In My Back Yard thank you.
And Russia also knows which side it's bread is buttered, thank you.

Resistance is futile!....Only joking....We have acquired strategies.....Though resistance is sometimes a struggle.
Social inequality is greed and poverty. Social inequality is also contentment and anxiety, good health and poor health etc.
Genetic uniformity breeds weakness and people may or not be happy with themselves. Happiness is temporary whereas contentment is permanent under relatively normal conditions…..Whatever relatively normal might be.
Separation is and likemindedness may or may not lead to cooperation.... Temporariness is relative to durability.....and evolution is.... and evolution is more than flesh and blood.
Too late the talking has begun and aggression is internal, whereas inequality may or may not be internal.
The universe is only speculation and life is either life or not.
Find separation, though one may not find contentment.
And spying begets knowledge and knowledge is key.

Greed is the origin of poverty.
And feminism evolved and men couldn't do anything about it.
And cancer is cancer....axiom of truth.
"Monogamy increases happiness"?
Happiness is a temporary state of mind....Contentment is the permanent solution....And contentment doesn't require wealth or monogamy
Whereas greed festers discontent.

If you considered Turkey and it's borders and the on the ground reality of the Syrian refugee crisis, you would realise how the consequences of U.S. led meddling in Syria was bound to have a huge impact on Turkish security and resources.
Once again The U.S. creates the problem and then expects everyone else to pick up the pieces.

Zionism is a Zionism and not necessarily a Jewish preoccupation. And Semitic is Semitic and not necessarily a Jewish language.
Anti-Semitic as you define it is a good sound bite, but is only reflective of a general malaise between persons of differing origins and appearances, and in this respect the U.S.A is no better than any other Nation.
And I will survive your inaccurate assumptions of me.
And Jesus......So say you.....And that's your prerogative.
But you will never convince me that you were not conditioned to be selectively moral.

Argument:
Primary drive is relatively constant though aberrations may occur....Developmental physiological sexual dysmorphia....Rare.
Sex like most of modern human existence has developed beyond primary drive focus.....If you own a mobile device for instance then it would be a tad hypocritical to criticise sex for pleasure.....Secondary drive.
I'm sure that men who play with men and women who play with women think....Nice!
Hormones determine a lot of things including primary sex drive...Primary sex drive urges can be readily satiated using developed secondary drive techniques.
Gay....Lesbian....Trans....Eroticism....Secondary drive possibilities.
Life goes on for the time being.

Well.
The statement is a logical generalisation and fallacious in it's non-specific presentation. Ergo a logical fallacy I suppose.
Though the generally non-specific nature of it's presentation doesn't render it readily identifiable.
There might be a God.... Is an obvious example of a logical fallacy.

P.M.A. is proven to benefit well being. This is a physiological certainty and nothing whatsoever to do with religion.
Nonetheless, if prayer promotes P.M.A. and induces a sense of well being, then all to the good.

As I said Zionism is what it is and the Trump Netanyahu meeting was all about Zionism .
You do know what Zionism is don't you?
Or are you just misrepresenting for dramatic effect again like you did with the word semitic.
And you're not selectively moral hey. I don't believe you for a minute. You might tow the party line but that doesn't absolve you of your own thoughts.
