Word association.
SCOTUS...Scrotum.
POTUS...Potato.
I genuinely, cannot see these acronyms without thinking of these associations.
Do they affect you the same?

So if the members of a society are not compelled to contribute to the running, provision and infrastructure of that society. How do you propose that things are going to work out.
Socialism is BS.
Socialism is simply the same old same old, dressed up as socialism.
Though history suggests that socialism tends to be a tad more oppressive.
And one can only be generous if one can afford to be generous.
And one can afford to be generous if one is clever, astute and takes advantage of opportunities.
Those that complain tend to be lower down in the pecking order of ability.
Such is how all social systems work.

8.1 Billion and counting.
Though abortion is a natural process in 20% of cases.
Human actions are also natural processes, so in fact 100% of abortions are natural.
Just as everything that occurs within a universe at any given moment is naturally occurring.

Because very few people consider it.
The human condition is, to be selectively moral.
Some people do not consider zygotes, hence we invented abortion.
Some people do not consider other people, hence we invented war and killing equipment.
Some people do not consider other lifeforms, hence will kill them for both amusement and sustenance.
Such is the human condition.

The most hardcore right wing position is.
Fuck the mother.
Not literally.
Though you never know.
People who function at the edge of reason are a tad unpredictable.
Though in the main, abortion is a solution to an unwanted pregnancy rather than about killing babies.
And can be sorted out in the first few weeks after conception, if not the next morning.
Did you no that about 20% of pregnancies abort naturally?
And a woman is born with approximately 2million eggs, of which perhaps 500 will be ovulated, and on average only about 2.4 will be successfully fertilized.
So in the hardcore right wing mind, that's about 1999997.6 potential babies that the bitches murder in a life time.
And what about all those sperm you ejaculate into oblivion?
Estimated to be about 1 billion per month.

So where do you get wheat and corn from.
Do you grow that?
And the more space you set aside for hens, the less space you will have for fruit and veg.
As I said, I've been there and done that, and I soon realised that keeping hens didn't make economic sense.
Nonetheless, I wish you luck with your latest venture.

Ignorance is bliss.
The thing is though, a lot of people enjoy not ignoring and get a buzz out of making a song and dance about it.
Similarly, trolls troll because the get a buzz out of trolling people who like to make a song and dance about being trolled.
So it's actually a win win win situation for all.

A bit of a generalisation then.

It's all about internal data assessment and the establishment of affective conclusions.
I personally, tend not to be affected by the internal machinations and sexual conclusions of others.
Whereas some people like to worry about such things.
Though I would suggest that both trains of thought are relative to variable but effective pre-conditioning processes.
Your opening comment was akin the the opening lines of a sentimental song?

I would suggest that technological growth is already uncontrollable and irreversible.
In so much as material evolution and the role that humanity plays therein, is an inevitable consequence of the universal system.
Technology/AI will perhaps play a similar role in the future.
"Unforeseen", in so much as we cannot see into the future.
Nonetheless, we can be certain that what does happen, will happen.

Do you think that it takes for you to live all.
I assume that's a typo.
Well I could mull that data over, but I'm currently predisposed to conclude that the biblical creator hypothesis is unreasonable.
Nonetheless, answer me this:
What exactly is this "love" that you keep referring to?
Other than an electro-chemical response to a stimulus.

Bottom line.
Greek, Latin, French, English.
Just another bit of after-the-event terminology, which is typical of Christian scripture.

Government is the social manifestation of natural hierarchy, in some form or another.
The alternative is anarchy.
Though anarchy will always rapidly evolve into a system of social hierarchical government in some form or another.
Perhaps some systems of government are better than others
But bear in mind that no matter how the system functions, wealth and reward will always be commensurate with social structure.
I personally would rather live in the UK, than in North Korea.
As I suspect, would rather a lot of North Koreans.

@n8nrgim
We are slaves to society.
A truism per se.
We are slaves to evolution, which includes human society.
And also includes money and associated expectations.
And now technology...In fact we readily became slaves to all aspects of material evolution.
I would suggest that there never was an alternative.
Even though we might like to think that there was.
Do you think that we could modify the future?
Speaking solely from a global human perspective, I would suggest that the future will just occur as it will, relative to material and social development.
So we might come to past based conclusions and apply them... But isn't this is what we have always done?
Things are so bad.
Things are as they are.
A will be as they will be.

Assuming that a GOD 's data processing systems were the same as human systems.
Then a hypothetical GOD would perhaps look upon it's creation and come to an overall conclusion, which it might regard as love.
Whereas at a human level, as Sadolite also points out, love is resultant of a subjective data assessment process.
A process rife with variables.

For sure.
The majority of the "The Bible" pre-dates Christianity.
So let's say that ritual baptism was a long standing tradition, latterly adopted by the Christian club.

Love variously describes an internal electro-chemical response to an external stimuli.
Like a person.
Or a bowl of apple pie and ice cream.
With a bit of custard perhaps.
To name but two.
Currently I love neither Vladimir Putin or cat shit.
Even with custard.

There probably are gays and paedophiles in North Korea.
But be realistic, are they likely to come out of their closets.
They probably live in a make believe world of dreams and masturbation.
Just like most dream of attaching electrodes to Kim's genitals and pulling the switch.

I have four cycles.
But sometimes I enjoy walking.
So are cyclical events the same as opposites.

@Mall
Is it wrong.
Who's to say?
Humans have an ongoing system of making up and adapting to new stuff.
As a part of that system, humour and offence therefore also change accordingly.
The problem is that pre-programmed units do not always keep up with current thinking trends and changes in social expectation.
Sacha Baron Cohen, worked appropriately.
The fact that he might not do quite so appropriately now, is the fact that he might not do quite so appropriately now.
Relative to change, he perhaps works differently now.
Then and now are not the same.
Then was and now is.
Though recognising that the past cannot be altered is something that certain trend setters would rather not come to terms with.
Which I find, is a trait that is best ignored.
Whereas a lot of people love to ride the post event vilification train.

Explaining "ritual".
Is a different ball game to learning to recite a book verbatim.
And I obviously perceive.
Which describes the input, consequent assessment, and maybe output of data.
Nonetheless.
Christianity is a religious club and certain associated rituals are established methods of confirming a persons membership.
Other religious clubs have other rituals.

Hmmm.
I'm not certain that corrupt is a necessary description.
I would suggest that everyone has a conditioned bias.

It's the same with any competition.

For sure.
I think that it is a generally inherited rule that Americans either vote blue or red.
Biden, Trump or Blue Chimp, Red Chimp, wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference to most.
But I also think that there is also a decisive purple minority that gives things a bit more thought.

Non-normalized sexual practice.
So, procreational sex performed in a specific position is perhaps about as normal as it gets.
Anything else is not normalized.
Is that what you are suggesting.
How long does it take for something to become normalized?
Or can somethings never become normalized?
Lets compare lesbian and Gay sexual practices that have been around for millennia, with the practice of using computer technology that has only been around for less than a hundred years.
So therefore, should we rightly regard smartphones usage as a non-normalized and disgusting communication practice?
Or should some people just keep their dirty little minds and noses out of other peoples sexual practices?
Though truth be told, repressed voyeurs tend to be the most devious.

How effective can an unofficial rule be?
In fact if you think about it, a rule that isn't official is a tad worthless.
Further:
Debateart is what it is.
And if you modify it's rules it will become somewhat different.
Which might mean that a few more people will take an interest at the expense of others that you choose to rule against.
Though one specialist website amongst a billion others will only ever draw a limited amount of dedicated users.
