    Hamas, innocent Palestinians, and the UN

    Can you give an example of the coercion?

    Hamas, innocent Palestinians, and the UN

    It's true, the U.N. has passed many resolutions pointing out the many violations of Israel against its various neighbors. There's a substantial history of such violations. Israel has also ignored U.N. resolutions. A resolution to condemn Hamas has been put before the U.N. There are reasons...

    Problem of Universals

    I pointed out differences between the quality of being green and the quality of being a cat and the quality of oneness. I would like to help you with your confusion. In what way were you confused?

    I Can End the Deficit in 5 Minutes: Warren Buffett

    I'm not a billionaire like Warren Buffet, but I feel confident that such an inane solution is not going to pass Congress in the time that Warren Buffet has left to live, let alone be done in five minutes.

    Why facts don't change your mind

    Hmm, researchers outed themselves to their test subjects as untrustworthy liars and then the researchers asked if the test subjects would change their minds on the basis of the new "correct" information that the proven untrustworthy lying researchers, now claiming to be honest, "provided" to the...

    Anger Management

    I don't know much about anger management personally, but I've learned that anger releases hormones in the body such as adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol. For this reason, anger can become mildly addictive. This also explains why "walking it off" can work to release anger as the act of...

    Problem of Universals

    It seems to me that in the example given of green things that there was a time when we didn't know what made objects green. And, because we didn't know what made them green, we could conceive that green was nominal as oposed to real. But now, we do, in fact, know what green is and what makes...

    Should the government create a law that requires Congress to balance the budget?

    Probably not. For one thing, a balanced budget doesn't mean the debt will decrease. For another thing, there can be a legitimate reason to increase debt. And thirdly, many states require balanced budgets, but this does not mean that they are the most financially stable. That said, in the...

    From 1947 to 2023: Retracing the complex, tragic Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Here are some excerpts from the timeline you posted relating to why there is not peace between Israel and Palestine today: The Oslo accords agree to 1967 borders. Yitzhak Rabin sends Yasser Arafat a letter acknowledging the existence of Palestine and Yasser Arafat sends Yitzhak Rabin a letter...

    Russia May Have Just Given Ukraine Terms for Ending War

    You have to decide for yourself who to believe. But I don't recommend believing either U.S. intelligence or the rumor mill. As a plan to invade and conquer Russia... it is one of the worst thought out and executed plans ever... The U.S. was slow to support Ukraine. Months passed while U.S...

    The Border Wall. Biden admin waives federal laws to allow border wall construction in Texas

    As Biden says in the video from your link, the money was appropriated for the construction of the wall. He has tried to get the money reappropriated and failed. If Biden does not continue with border wall construction, then he will be in clear violation of the Appropriations Act from 1974. The...

    Russia May Have Just Given Ukraine Terms for Ending War

    No, I don't think Russia was legitimately worried about NATO. In fact, like Sweden and Finland, Ukraine had little interest in joining NATO prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Think about it. If Russia had not invaded Ukraine, then neither Sweden, nor Finland, nor even Ukraine itself...

    How do you define SCIENCE?

    It is prophetic. It is an affirmation of what will come to pass. It's not saying that "maybe" the Kingdom comes nor is it "asking" or "begging" for the Kingdom to come. It's saying that the Kingdom comes, that the Kingdom comes to Earth, and that the Kingdom is as the Kingdom which is in...

    Should all countries adopt a 2nd Amendment (Right To Bear Arms)?

    No, Canada benefits from a statute that protects the right of people to defend themselves as opposed to a constitutional amendment.

    Russia May Have Just Given Ukraine Terms for Ending War

    It seems to me that wanting Ukraine to not join a military alliance is an obvious attempt by Russia to insure that Russia can attack Ukraine again in the future. From an outside point of view, it is detestable to negotiate peace terms that insure future conflict will occur. I would prefer...

    Should all countries adopt a 2nd Amendment (Right To Bear Arms)?

    I guess you agree with me? The right to bear arms actually has historical roots in England. This occurred after the English Crown allowed Papists to carry arms but not Protestants. The Bill of Rights of 1689 guaranteed the right of Protestants to "have Arms for their Defence". The Bill of...

    How do you define SCIENCE?

    I agree the Bible is not a science textbook. I also agree that there are limits to what science currently concludes. As for the future of science, who can say? Macroevolution appears to be the current theory with the most support and remains consistent with the notion that all life, as we know...

    Should all countries adopt a 2nd Amendment (Right To Bear Arms)?

    I don't know what you think you are routing for. The U.S. isn't an example of a government that generally restricts the right of people to defend themselves nor is generally worried that people will stand up for themselves. Is it? Contrast this with a country such as China or Iran where it is...
