Re: Gun Control: What Is The Agenda

Gun Control: What Is The Agenda When gun control was first implemented in the United States, its purpose was clear: the aim was to get guns out of the hands of blacks. Armed citizens can demand that their rights be respected in a way that unarmed citizens can not. In some instances (e.g. Florida), ...

Re: Einstein MUST have noticed this!

Common sense does not work with relativity (or QM). Common sense works in the ordinary world of normal-sized objects travelling at normal speeds (e.g., dogs running).

Re: Atheist Fanatics

I don't (generally) hate Christians but I do hate the disease called Christianity. Here are some reasons why. It is based on lies and is historically inaccurate. There are plenty of instances in the Bible of things that just didn’t happen. It’s pretty likely that there never was a “Jesus” as describ...

Re: John Brown

US imperialism is the problem, and no, I do not believe it to be a lesser evil than the slave trade. The difference is the scale at which these evils are applied: while slavery is applied to an individual, imperialism is applied to a whole nation. And don't try to b.s. me that the US as a slave mas...

The ecosystem is sustaining the current population. Well, no. The resources are getting used up at a high rate. It's kind of like a farm that is not run sustainably. In the short run it may be profitable, but in the long run the soil becomes used up and infertile. That "long run" started ...
