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...

"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...

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...

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.

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 ...

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...
