As I've stated before.

National debt is a geopolitical farce.

Worldwide, there are only two tiny States that reputedly have no National debt.

That leaves about 190 or so, that are in debt.

So Planet Earth is in debt to what?

True.

Within the context of material development, language and communication has proved to be a valuable asset.

Though the the term "immoral blight", certainly doesn't bring a whole lot to the evolutionary party.

In terms of data assessment, process dictates that everything is resultant of a subjective process.

Especially an abstract concept such as morality.

Within the current social state of play, doing reasonably well in education and securing a decent job is perhaps the best way to live a comfortable life.

You've got to be somewhere doing something.

You would soon get bored with idling about, consuming a diet of eggs and raspberries.

Nah.

Below average idiots with nothing better to do.

Or perhaps just a rational thinker.

Perhaps ultimately, everything is irrelevant.

Some people make the best of it.

Some people make a hell of a mess of it.

Hell or heaven is inside us.

Everything is inside us.

Some people just don't realise.

That's about the strength of it.

But, which version are you actually referring to?

The old tales have been translated transcribed and reinterpreted many times.

Hmmmmm.

How the genes developed is of little relevance.

What we know, is that humans were/are the instruments of ongoing material development, AKA evolution.

Though as I always state:

The idea that Planet Earth was initially seeded by a superior Universal intelligence, is a reasonable proposition. 

So:

Tomato tomotto.

Are simply, two symbolic arrangements.

One is representative and the other isn't.

Good fun Stephen.

Well done Owen_T.

Something to get ones teeth into as an appetizer to Sunday Lunch.

It wasn't written yesterday afternoon Mall.

And it was written by pious men who sought to control the lives of others.

Other people write other books relevant to their interests, which may well be based upon the freedom to enjoy sexual relationships, when they want, and with who they want.

And I do not need to believe, what is patently obvious.

Why would a GOD write a mythical tome, concerning the lives and fortunes of people from one specific region of Planet Earth.

I don't remember him giving the Inuit People of the Arctic or Australian Aborigines much of a mention.

Strange when one considers Mr Omni's supposed knowledge.

Nope, the bible was obviously written by blokes with limited knowledge.

The desire to live for as long as possible is actually based in our genes.

Immortality and foreverness are derivatives  of language development

And religion is also a later derivative of human social development.

From about 60 to 75 years  and onwards we are in a state of rapid physiological decline.

So in practical terms immortality can only be usefully achieved if we can genetically engineer and stop the aging process much earlier. Which certainly isn't beyond the realms of possibility

Intellectual immortality is perhaps also a possibility, whereby ones consciousness will be downloaded to an alternative data storage device. Thereby opening up a whole Universe of humanoid opportunity.

The bible was made up by men.

And Catholicism is just another religious club, with it's own set of ideas and rituals.

Which isn't to say that such religious clubs and their associated wealth and power, were not greatly responsible for social and intellectual development over the past 2000 years or so.

Which isn't to say that some of their customary ideas and rituals are not a tad daft.

And then there was Father Ted to be thankful for.

Obviously one can never say with 100% certainty, but I suspect that Godo's mountain top visitations were somewhat fabricated.

And that Moses and similar shamanic types were typically off their heads on some plant based hallucinogen or another, attempting to reach a higher plain.

And gullible nitwits could easily be persuaded to believe anything...They still can actually...Such as the virgin Mary, and her subsequent ethereal visitations.

Which isn't to say that such visitations, do not present the catholic church with potentially huge business opportunities.

Pilgrims and their money are easily parted, as the saying goes.

Or is it fools.

You choose Owen.

Pussy arse mouth tissue.

Same outcome.

Then roll over and go to sleep.

Abortion is simply, another medical or surgical solution to a problematic health issue.

Unless one is a selectively moral conservative/religious nutjob.

Yep.

Is a human organism with a vagina, always physiologically a female?

Or can a human organism with a vagina physiologically be a male?

I'm assuming that this is the issue surrounding Imane Khelif.

It would certainly appear that all aspects of this persons physical presentation (in boxing shorts and vest) is more masculine than feminine.

Same with the Taiwanese person.

Definitive criteria should have been established prior to the controversy.

Can a metaphor be more damaging than if it were a fact? Both views are extreme.

Not exactly sure what you mean Shila.

Though, if facts were known, then representative tales wouldn't be necessary.

But such metaphorical tales become established as guiding principles for some.

Which, if all guiding principles were the same wouldn't really be damaging.

But as we know, society isn't like that.

So perhaps it would be better to know the facts rather than promote a minefield of misinformation tales.

Nonetheless, I still tend to run with the idea that all aspects of the bigger evolutionary picture including factional religious hypotheses, are all an inevitable and therefore necessary part of the process.

But at the same time, I'm also happy with the idea that everything lacks any greater meaning outside of it's own universal context.

Does she think that Philosophy actually achieves anything other than itself.

Spot on.

Nice weather too.

Hope it's the same in Bromsgrove.

Regards.

It also made us immune to conspiracy theories.

Well, you and I that is.

Trump still believes that the election was rigged.

You do realise that the fruit thing was a metaphor?

Made up by a bloke, who was told not to play with his willy, or anyone else's for that matter.

And not to keep dressing up in his sister's fig leaves.

Don't know who told him this, but who ever it was, was a hypocrite.

Organic blobs with an inbuilt itch that needs scratching.

So, you are a vegan hermit who absorbs nutrients from the atmosphere.

Obviously decrying any form of national self defence or capital punishment.

Otherwise the numbers add up to 119.

All a part of a necessary process perhaps.

Or perhaps not.

Though.

If there is no no necessary process,

Then nothing is necessary anyway.

No one knows.

But.

The prevailing scientific hypothesis is what it is.

Scifi speculation.

I think that FLRW was just saying.

All systems of government are essentially the same, but some are more brutal than others.

Though within any system under achievers will always underachieve.

And others will succeed, either by force or by intellectual application.

Interestingly, Marx was the biggest bourgeoise hypocrite of the lot.

And here you are, highlighting the supposed injustices of the current system.

How woke is that?

A nutter with access to lethal firearms, who believes that "Deep State" is out to get them.

Wherein lies the "real truth".

Hmmmmmmmm.

One could quite freely, stay at home and do a bit of this and that and perhaps enjoy a meal with friends.

Nah.

What do you expect in a nut job society that dispenses bullets from vending machines?

Nutters are eventually going to shoot someone.

And nutters will inevitably get shot.

Perhaps it's an essential part of everything.

Or perhaps it just doesn't matter.

Perhaps it's an inessential part of everything.

In which case, it still wouldn't matter.

Though we vaccinate against indiscriminate infections.

So without foresight, who is fittest?

A. An athlete who will die as a result of contracting a viral infection.

Or

B. An obese person with Type 2 diabetes, who won't contract a viral infection and die as a result..

B. By virtue of  luck, will be the fittest and potentially add to the gene pool?

I use the term executioner(s) broadly to represent a society that deems what is essentially a ritual killing, as morally justifiable. (Ritual killing, as in a social justice ritual).

Then there is killing in self defence, which is deemed to be a moral necessity.

Killing animals for food.

Terminating the growth of a bundle of cellular tissue.

All morally acceptable, or not, as the case maybe.

Such is the fickle nature of the human imagination.

Good afternoon then Deb.

Yep, have a great weekend.

Good morning Deb.

So do the executioners become less valuable?

Or are the heroes?

But let's be honest, for most folk an execution is a titillating headline...And then carry on with the daily routine...Such is morality.

I just wave and smile at them.

Fortunately never on both counts.

I've never lived on the mean streets.

Hope that doesn't disappointed you Deb.

Has your life been a little bit edgy at times.

On the mean streets of downtown OZ.

Good job it's all make believe then.

Shitty parenting is changing diapers.

Opinionated data transfer between parents and their offspring, is to be expected.

Society makes rules for reasons.

If there were no rules, what then?

What are children's Denise's?

Must be an American thing.

A bit like band guns.

Is that elastic bands?

Q.  So why would certain people still vote for the Orange Clown Mr Trumpet?

A.  Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Dogs bark and sheep bleat.

If humans had common sense the everything would be fantastic.

Unfortunately though, we have to take the clever stupid gene into account.

Sort of, an after the event precaution.

I personally, do not like cities, and have never been in a skyscraper.

Though I did some parachuting when I was younger.

Yep, as I stated.

Human organisms are dispensable, when it suits.

Pro life or not?

Shirking the responsibility of rehabilitating the offender.

Every argument generates it's own counter-argument.

At 78, Trump will inevitably be declining in both mind and body.

Thankfully, sleepy Joe has stepped down.

The thing about cognition is, if one starts from a low cognitive state, then one doesn't decline so noticeably.

We see this in Trump and his red hat brigade.

Incidentally, my wife commented that Trump looked less orange and his hair was slightly less wacky.

Bullet missed the target.

No dodging required.

Trump's wannabe assassin was shot dead.

Human organisms are dispensable, when it suits.

Perhaps you act similar to your grandmother.

Generational data transfer as it were.

You will also act similar to your parents.

Though you might try not to now.

But you will eventually.

Are there a lot of mass shooters.

Maybe there are a lot of shooters because there are a lot of guns.

I would suggest that, with or without the internet, people are aware of the risks of being a mass shooter.

So when did you see young guys and young women from the 1960's, and women from the 1900's?

Society decides upon guidelines and associated rules.

The Underdog proposes their own set of guidelines and rules.

The reality is that 99.9% of the population has a selectively moral attitude towards living matter.

Another reality is...Certain sub-groups hold biased ideological opinions.

The ultimate reality is...There is no greater Universal authority...Though certain ideologically biased sub-groups would unquestioningly disagree .

I would simply suggest that the status of a dividing cellular mass, increases over time.

In that respect I can be both pro-choice and pro-life, especially considering that I am one of the 99.9%.

You took the first line of my post, and went off at a tangent, to make the somewhat unrelated point that certain issues can indeed be unequivocally resolved with a yes or no answer.

And ignored everything else relative to an issue that you raised, wherein there is no definitive answer.

For sure, if one is opinionated then one might unquestioningly respond negatively or positively.

Whereas relative to the issue, I am aware that there is no definitive explanation available. Therefore all arguments are valid, and  YES or NO are not feasible options.

So if you desperately require a YES or NO response, I would suggest that the best question to ask relative to "trans", is:

Q. Do you fully understand everything about current transsexualism trends?

A. No.

Do you Mall?

Considering the complexity of higher organic systems, then anomalies will inevitably occur.

And Jesus was a character found in popular Middle Eastern folk myths.

You are inappropriately conflating  data.
