    Is "wage slavery" actually "slavery"? And is "capitalism" really "voluntary exchange"?

    If land were not capital-gated, I would agree. So on paper, capitalism could be said to be nothing more than "voluntary exchange." In reality, however, it falls on the slavery spectrum just as does every other economic system imposed on societies by their respective governments. I'll take...

    What "if" you are wrong

    I don't think the question of existential value hinges on whether or not there is a God, but whether or not we, ourselves, are eternal beings. If we were wholly mortal and our existence finite, nothing we do in life would ultimately matter, whether God exists or not. I appreciate the...

    Missouri Bill Would Put Teachers On Sex Offender Registry For Affirming Trans Kids' Identities

    Partly independent is better than no independence. Make it a clean break! :D

    Missouri Bill Would Put Teachers On Sex Offender Registry For Affirming Trans Kids' Identities

    I'm using terms not my own here, so don't invest too much in what I might call a leftist or a conservative. Thankfully, I've been independent of the insanity of political parties and charting for a long time now. I don't know what to call any of them, honestly. I'll get corrected by someone...

    Missouri Bill Would Put Teachers On Sex Offender Registry For Affirming Trans Kids' Identities

    Again, I won't call one out without calling out the others; they are all running naked through the halls of government, and far afield of what they ought to be doing with the authority they're loaned. That said, I don't think a sensible candidate could be elected right now; he or she would be...

    Missouri Bill Would Put Teachers On Sex Offender Registry For Affirming Trans Kids' Identities

    Well, don't just single them out. Factions of every other political persuasion likewise have paid entertainers to parrot back to them their particular beliefs and trash all others. I just shake my head when self-identified leftists find fault with their conservative counterparts for doing that...

    Bitcoin breaches 70,000!

    Gotta know when to fold 'em, right? :)

    Thanks for your replies. We may be speaking past one another, but I don't think further work will be worth the effort. Withdrawing. God bless.

    Bitcoin breaches 70,000!

    You don't need to guess; I already indicated that I had considered it—when I disagreed with your conclusion. Or are you saying that there can only be one outcome (the one you determine)? If so, seems I misunderstood what you were after.

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    The scriptures I would most readily cite are not recorded in the Bible, but are found in scriptures that constitute modern revelation. I don't know that it is expounded as clearly in the Bible. Note verse 85 here: Doctrine and Covenants 76 And here the Lord corrects man's misunderstanding of...

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    I understand that God has said that he would ultimately remove unrepentant sinners from hell. That's what gives me confidence enough in the idea to post it. :)

    I don't agree with your conclusion as to the effect of my post, but I appreciate that you don't want your words taken out of context. So I apologize and will be mindful of that with your posts in the future.

    OK. Thanks for the heads up. All good. I quoted you, but my comments were for anyone interested in them.

    Bitcoin breaches 70,000!

    There's the rub. I work in technology. Those who know, navigate the tech world (they know) without fear, though still carefully. Everyone else is primed to be fleeced. I see a lot of people lose money because they get strung along into things they don't understand but are told they need...

    So true. If you can't explain it with plain language and secure an investment in it on a signed napkin, there is a high likelihood your investment is going to vanish (and you won't know how, because you didn't understand the system from the beginning).

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    Agreed. Even so, my understanding is that even the unrepentant will ultimately be removed from hell to inherit an existence in the light. It takes far more than even refusal to repent to make one conditioned for an eternal hell.

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    There is too much nuance to cover here in a couple sentences, but I'd offer that hell is certainly a real inheritance, but most who reside in that condition will be removed after a time because of the mercy of Jesus Christ. Relatively very few will reside in hell forever, and those who do will...

    Australia's gender pay gap

    Then the employer responds, "Oh, you misunderstood. I did not offer you the promotion. 'Open' means that you, like all other employees, may compete for the promotion. It isn't closed to you. But the promotion isn't currently available no one is being promoted presently. Knowing that you're...

    Is There A Right Side In Politics?

    Asking clarifying questions before offering an answer is good discourse; it isn't "ducking." :) The question I asked, I answered directly, as you requested. Answered it the first time you asked. No ducking. Not sure why you're still talking about ducking. Questions 2 and 3 are your...

    Is There A Right Side In Politics?

    The Declaration is part of US law. "A" is the first letter in the English alphabet. Two simple statements; easy to understand; easy to confirm. I personally don't understand the difficulty there, but my experience in life leads me to accept that it is guaranteed that there are lawyers, judges...
