Re: morality's half twists
Good thing the whole mess is a myth. Of course, God judges people in the way that we think we should judge people, because God was created in our image, or in the image of whatever culture came up with whatever god they set up as judge. We, too, mostly give people some sort of credit for doing good...

Re: morality's half twists
at any rate, there's a conundrum of morality being self serving in that (in theory) you'll do better if you follow these rules for engagement, which appear to promote selflessness. The Catholics have been doing this for 2000 years, and they've worked out most of the details. Basically, a truly awes...

Re: morality's half twists
"He who is last shall be first" is a good one. We get the idea, even without religion, but for followers of Christ, or any believers in life after death in general, trying to be last in line on this mortal coil would be like trying to be first in line...wouldn't it? If i was caught fighti...

Re: morality's half twists
One I like is "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you." Not bad, as long as everyone observes it. But there are 8.1 Billion of us now and growing so it seems unlikely that this one will ever work worth two shits in a fruit jar. We're still primates after all. :shock: There is no su...

Re: morality's half twists
yeah, that one's got a half twist too. What about masochists? They want you to hurt them, so they should hurt you in order to get what they want. It's a misinterpretation. They want you to hurt them, so they should do something for you, that you want, in return for you hurting them, in the way they...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid
Of course not. But he told The Great Unwashed exactly what they wanted to hear and they, like the guppies they are, bought it hook, line and sinker. And they're gonna do it again. Jesus titty fucking christ. I got to thinking about this. Does Trump do this any more than any other politician? I thin...

Keep in mind that Harry wasn't defending socialism in that quote.

Re: Planet America
Not nearly enough. If the current shit is allowed to continue, it will be the ruin of our cute little civilization, followed eventually by the rest of our species. I don't see it. Climate change is the most popular existential threat these days. However, when that subject came up on these pages, I ...

Re: Planet America
I'm pretty confident I know what it means, and it is a very bad, evil thing that must be stopped. Cluster bombs are not necessarily an effective way to stop it, and even if it worked, the cost, in human terms, may be excessive. does capitalism need to be stopped? It needs to be regulated. And it is...
