    Do you own the USA? (Closed/open border debate)

    Earlier I was thinking about all of this a little more, and I was thinking that people who lack ownership roots in u.s. property must constantly both spend and work to live, whereas if the population was allowed to naturally drop a bit (we don't have a replacement level birth-rate I don't...

    The Cycle of Violence: how do we stop it?

    I don't understand enough about the middle-east to understand what it is they want. I've wondered before, if the whole region should have a federal system. It works well enough for america, so shouldn't it work there. Then all the current nations would become states in one big country. But you...

    What is the difference between faith and thought?

    I guess to return to the squirrels I see, jumping high in the trees, we see that they operate by intuition, of a nonverbal kind. But we could argue that they are 'believers,' though their intuitions and actions line up in such a way that they don't require a path to belief, when they are mature...

    What is the difference between faith and thought?

    I suppose it is then. But then, what exactly happens when the words 'roll over,' or 'fetch' hit a dogs brain? It seems like a reductive force then, in large part. The intuition, or the raw unworded feeling that is had, is always abstract. It has to be whittled down to something one can...

    What is the difference between faith and thought?

    and in spanish I guess, the word 'creo' seems to refer to thought, or I guess belief

    Do you own the USA? (Closed/open border debate)

    That's an interesting way to see it, I suppose. No matter how old any country is, it likely started with a kind of power consolidating myth. But besides that, the idea of a planet divided into countries also seems to speak to a practical management question of some kind. No leadership block can...

    Do you own the USA? (Closed/open border debate)

    I guess my feeling is, that I can't just give you an answer to the questions in your op without a much greater understanding of what is actually happening. In the past year I've read a couple books on immigration to america, one from a left-wing perspective, and another from the right-wing...

    What is the difference between faith and thought?

    Good point, yeah. Probably no one has strictly rational or irrational thoughts.

    What is the difference between faith and thought?

    I'm not feeling all that philosophical at the moment, so I'll have to seek your comment again later I guess I would say that animals probably have more non-verbal thoughts than people do, but people probably still have a lot of them. Of if they have them, they then would probably like to attach...

    Don't Have Children? Vance Says You're Scum

    I guess my conception of left / right is a little different. I think of it more like more government vs. less. That dichotomy makes more sense. I think the left / right of popular view are surely just two different versions of leftism (they both want more government regulation just different kinds)

    Don't Have Children? Vance Says You're Scum

    That's kind of a start to a theory that makes sense about who they are. I think maybe the other side of the coin, and this is a generalization, is that the right, at its best, wants to give you freedoms that teach some level of individual resilience

    Don't Have Children? Vance Says You're Scum

    My experience with a parent's alcohol abuse issue, and what my sibling became when he toyed with it, is me very averse to having a family. But vance can go do what he wants. I have some right wing views on different issues, and left wing views. But one thing is, that I think there probably...

    Mr Trump has questioned Ms Harris's racial identity.

    One thing about that though, is that the whole american project is imposed on land originally owned by native americans, who I assume did not fully consent to the project occurring here. I think we are a melting pot, but we are also a nation where federalized states allow people across wide...

    Apparently - Two State Solution is not Palestinian Desire.

    I think that from the standpoint of americans, in seeing that we became a network of federalized states, where people have the liberal association to connect with whom they'd like within the span of the whole land, a main divisive issue here, in regard to property, is who can afford the property...

    Why Do White Nationalists Hate Jews And Blame Them For Everything Bad ?

    I'm not a white nationalist, and I like all the other races, and I don't mind talking to people I disagree with politically, but I like my conception of who I am. If I was cherokee, I think I'd like being cherokee. If I was roma, I'd like being roma. I think a feeling of contempt for others...

    What is the difference between faith and thought?

    How do you know how big your faith is? You can't look inside your head, to see the percentage of faith you have in a thing. How can you can you tell if it is 3 percent or 51%? Nor does it seem that one can feel their degree of counter-faithlessness in a thing, as it is probably something that is...

    What is the difference between faith and thought?

    'animal' has specificity, otherwise there is probably no animal. Brain has thoughts, otherwise it's something else

    What is the difference between faith and thought?

    It's a point of input, maybe not totally independent, and maybe not totally dependent. Not totally an observer, and maybe not totally a determined particpant

    What is the difference between faith and thought?

    Faithfulness, loyalty, trust, faithlessness.. All occur in the sphere of mentation

    What is the difference between faith and thought?

    I think that's an interesting combination of adjectives, because when I think of the word 'warped,' I think of solid matter, and when I think of the word deluded, I think of a liquid. So it is strange to combine those words into a description of a singular thing
