Re: Trump

I don't know how to address those questions without invoking the broad picture When you say "invoking" I think you are saying "painting" or "conjuring up". For this reason, and like Diebert, I'd like to know the main, specific facts. If there are, say, two main damning...

David has declared that buddha's experience passion and desire, an assertion that goes against the literal meaning of nirvana which is "blowing out" or "quenching". Perhaps Dan and/or Kevin (and others) believe the same. I would say that enlightenment involves a quenching of the...

I don't see anything interesting about her. I think she reads from a script and that she has been created by the media.

Re: Trump

Trump is a raging narcissist with no comprehension of the nature of reality. Many people would say the same thing about you. Casting aspersions about people isn't going to get you anywhere. A few years ago, Hilary Clinton called her opponents "A basket of deplorables" who were "irred...

Re: Trump

Re: Trump

Both sides trample science, about equally. You are not looking at both sides of the picture. No reasoning or evidence is given. That which is asserted without evidence can be refuted without evidence. If you claim that the right is more anti-science than the left, without evidence, then I can simpl...

You're not making a rational argument. All you're doing is making personal smears and personal attacks. When you make a rational argument then I might have something to respond to.

Re: Trump

witness testimony (i.e. sworn opinion) is considered to be evidence in a court of law. That is completely meaningless, since as I've said many times already, evidence can be false, fabricated, inapplicable, etc. Without this principle, it would be exceedingly difficult to prosecute criminals and pr...

Re: Trump

I see it the other way. The extinction of the species is final; there is no coming back from that. Totalitarian regimes, on the other hand, are fragile and temporary; there is always the possibility that they can be overthrown and liberty can be restored. Ok, fair enough. In that case the individua...
