Re: The Real Threat to Consciousness

As with most of TSZ, I think Nietzsche was being metaphorical when speaking about warring. I'm not sure you can be very confident in saying that. In Genealogy of Morals Nietzsche speaks with approval of specific nations that had "warrior cultures," such as ancient Greece and Japan. This i...

Re: Legalizing Suicide/Assisted Suicide

You cannot be imprisoned in America for seeking help with drug addiction. I think what |read| and Elizabeth are trying to say is that if people who are on drugs are caught in a drug-related offense (insofar as buying / possessing with intent to use without any other criminal offense i.e. stealing to...

Re: Religion: Nothing More Than A Comfort

Nietzsche said 'God is dead'. And he went crazy afterwards and the reason is he went to the negative and completely abandoned the positive. Without his Godly baby sitter, he had nobody to throw the blame on, and he went nuts. This is the thing, is the question whether God exists or not even an impo...

Re: The Real Threat to Consciousness

Seeing the world through these eyes would show peace mostly being a mask for perpetual war, pacifism a luxury for those being able to afford it - a lucky circumstance - and world unity a menace for freedom and progress. When the lid comes of the human mind perhaps has not progressed that much at al...

Re: Criminal Minds: A new type of crime drama?

Re: The Real Threat to Consciousness

I don't think you are going deep enough. Islam is a symptom, it is not the problem you make it to be. For one thing, Islam has no money. And the money rules. The money is another name for the controlling cartel. The cartel supports radical Islam like it supported Communism and Nazism and Capitalism...

Re: Foiled burglar "a bastard" for reporting rape

Take all these cases of female teachers having sex with male students. It's mainly laughed at. Now when a male teacher has sex with a female student he's a pervert and should be castrated. A boy losing his virginity is a rite of passage, like a Bar Mitzvah. Each further sexual act reaffirms this ma...

Re: Foiled burglar "a bastard" for reporting rape

No more nor less than criticising a female rape victim for being traumatized by "just a screw." If anything, injury to male genitals is more serious than injury to female genitals because male genitalia are more delicate organs. The rape of a man can be worse than the rape of a woman, but...

Re: The Real Threat to Consciousness

What is the most vital threat to consciousness today? Is it Islam? No, my son, it is television. And, lately, also cell phones. Actually there is and can be no threat to consciousness.

Ryan, If people with a lower consciousness level should be killed, then why don't we kill all animal species? Wouldn't it be the humane thing to do by your standard? Perhaps killing people (not animals) of a lower consciousness isn't the right way, but associating unconsciousness far and wide with ...

Re: Foiled burglar "a bastard" for reporting rape

Moral of the story, if you foil a robbery, it's okay to rape the would-be burglar until injury is done to his genitals if: 1) he's male, 2) you're female, and 3) you feed and buy him things. She's facing a prison term, so I don't see how you're interpreting "okay" as the moral of the stor...

I think anyone who doesn't have a terminal disease, is not physically handicapped or who isn't elderly would default to the mentally ill category.

Another good video, Kevin, but is it possible to increase the refresh rate of your camera to get closer to true to life speeds?

Re: Announcing "TheAbsolute TV"

Yeah, it sounds fine, but it seems your webcam's cycling at a slower rate than true-to life speed, resulting in lagged video-to-sound and less fluid footage than we're accustomed to seeing.

Good message, though, clear presentation.
