The problem with bums: You get rid of them and more come along. of course, but the annual number for the new ones will be very small, so it will cost us may be a billion annually. That is a very effecient way to clean up the society. You have to pay up for cleaning, dont you? You want Bum-free
So it's like a fancy concentration camp Nooooo. We dont control them, they can go anywhere in the world if they want to. This project is providing them with what they will never dream of now.
Hey man, Bums are people too Of course they are. They just are special type. They dont like our rules, they dont participate in what we do and they dont like things we do and they like things we dont like. Let them have their own world.
I'll get started on my capitalist ventures on baby island soon enough! All you guys who have investment ideas on Bum-Island are out of your minds. You are stuck with the rest of us here to see how we can solve our problems in this Bum-Free society. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=cen
It is necessary to define the term "Bums" in what follows in order to know what I am talking about. "Bums" are the people who are Intentionally make themselves a burden on our society. Examples are professional homeless people, druggies who spend all their earnings on drugs or alcohols, cheaters, people who cant keep a job because of laziness
No. The Gov sholuld help create an affordable health-care system to take care of people IF they get sick not to provide a mean to live long or even in perfect health. Only IF and When you get sick. This pill is what they call :quality-of-life medication. If you can afford it, get it yourself. Why are you making affordable healthcare look like it is soooooo impossible and unfair? It is an insurance, like Car insurance. do you object to making
But what liberals now want is the next step - not "we're all in this together" but to basically saddle us with parasites in the most literal sense. People who are not paying in but are free riding. I think the Far-Left with whom you always discuss these issues gave you the impression that this is what
This is terrible, we, engineers, cant get a break? our good work always comes back to bite us you know where. If he was a lousy engineer satan will be more than happy to get rid of him and send him to heaven. Like they say, no good work goes unpunished
there's a disturbing trend that I've noticed when I visit my American brothers and sisters- I call it the "I've got mine" mentality, and it bears no political affiliation- it's present in both liberal and conservatives (in my humble opinion). Great article. And yes every system, even those managed by private businesses, has its flaws which need to be corrected. The points quoted above are the main reason we here in the States c
Your reference to a 'maker of gadgets' who creates a 'rule-book' for the proper use of the gadgets he's made is also inappropriate. we are not gadgets with specific functions that must operate in certain ways to function properly I just wanted to add a little note regarding this gadget thing: We, Humans, are really amazingly arrogant and soooo resistent to telling us what to do. even when using actual gadgets. I cant tell you how many
'Free will' is nothing but the necessary concept which accompanies, substantiates, and justifies, the concept of sin. 'Free will' and sin are both illusions, and both have the same source and origin - man. We can discuss "Free Will" later. But yes both concepts are related. Saying that both are illusions is not supported by any logical way of looking at the universe while recognizing that we and the universe Are the Creations of a God. And ye
Since I don't believe that God has any interest in the moral status of our actions your comments regarding the sovereignty and prerogatives of Kings and Queens are irrelevant. God is no more sovereign of the universe than an artist exercises sovereignty over the canvas he's painting. Artists create - they don't rule. Your reference to a 'maker of gadgets' who creates a 'rule-book' for the proper use of the gadgets he's made is also inappropriate. we are not ga
To me, the notion that God watches us to see if our actions are right or wrong is as ridiculous as the idea of my watching the inhabitants of an anthill to see if the ants within it are leading righteous lives. This comparison would be true if God was not our Creator. We didnt create the ants and their hill, so it really doesnt matter to us what they do, unless they mess our sugar bowl of course. then we kill them. God's interest in US (humans)
What if your God has no interest in sin? What if your God is involved in an aesthetic rather than moral creation? You are absolutely correct. He doesnt have any "personal" interest in anything we do. He is self-suffiecient. whatever we do, doesnt affect him in the least. As for Him being aesthetic .... oooh yes He is that too. One of His attributes is " The Greatest Artist". well Rev Emp, since you brought this point. Dont you think a
I believe in God, certainly. But I see no reason to believe in sin. Good start. As long as you believe in the existence of God, believe it or not, we (that is you and I) are in agreement on no less than 90% of the issues involved. your point is this, and please correct me if i misunderstood you: Why would a God who we say is sooo Great,Omnipotent, All-Knowing, Just, Eternal .... etc make certain actions "Sins"? this is your question. L
I'm quite appalled from the GOP comments of "Who do we think can beat Hillary?" me too. as if this is the criteria to elect our president. We are a pathetic bunch for sure.
And spreading the idea around via 'day-dreaming' is the first step towards making the dream a reality. this is true too. I just wish that there was a faster and less complicated way to get out of this mess. I can see at least one of Baker's points. What if we still didnt like what they offer the second
If NOTA garners more than 50% of the vote, give 'em six months to present us with a new ballot, with new candidates, and in the meantime the status quo is maintained. Is this really true? constitutinal i mean. If it is, it will be great. I dont think many voting-people know that. May be all of
A 'None Of The Above' choice on every ballot. This is a kind of a desperate solution. But even if we do that, what happens next? i am not sure, but if it was a presidential election wouldnt the whole thing goes to the House? if this is the case, what did we achieve by voting NOTA? </f
this is true in the usa because we actually vote for everyone I believe it is true everywhere. If the people who are not allowed to vote don't demand their right to do so and just sit there waiting for soemone to hand them their freedom, then they really deserve to be governed by a dictator. Freedom and
I'd like to know what great issues you think the Church of the Negative Christ might raise You raised many issues in your post. Whether you consider them "issues" is not the point. may be for you, they are no longer issues. However, you used them to reach certain conclusions and as such i beleive they deserve to be discussed. The first issue is the "Sin" itself. In your post it seems to me that you reject the possibility of the concept itself sa
we are actually a fairly easy going and peace loving lot who require the active and accentuated stimulus of the oversimplified good vs evil boogey man argument to agitate us into supporting the frenzied destruction of other sovereign nation states Sadly, this is true. I was hoping that
Simon has no religious prejudices at all, other than a general intolerance of ignorance. He'll get to you this evening after work. Ditto X Zillions , i will be looking forward to hear from him. i will be away tomorrow. so if i dont respond to him right away, you know why. Thanks for your response.
It's wrong to tolerate poverty when you have more than you need. It's wrong to tolerate unfairness, prejudice, and greed. It's wrong to bear false witness. It's wrong to allow the weak to be subject to the arbitrary tyrrany of the strong. But those things are not sins. They're just wrong Rev. Emp, may I call you that? You starting your church w
the catholic lives inthe world these people live outside of it. may be. and in some cases it sure seems that way. However, it is THEIR world, isnt it? why are we trying to make everything go according to our way of thinking? besides, cultural issues are changed based on discussion and convincing the oth
