    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    Yuck! Cheddar all the way for me.

    A lonely nation: Has the notion of the ‘American way’ promoted isolation across history?

    I think there are, at least here in the U.S. The key is understanding that the educational experience is a life-or-death competition for societal authority. School at all levels is the proving ground for the nation’s youth. It is worthy of note that people in the higher socio-economic classes...

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    Me too, but beyond that and the suggestion that he was some kind of pseudo-prophetic figure (which were a dime a dozen in Hellenistic Jewish society), I don’t buy much of what Christians say about him.

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    I confess, I didn’t know all that. I can understand, somewhat. I frankly don’t understand, and so can’t support the notion of the “multicultural society”, myself…and I was raised in the so-called “melting pot”. The notion causes me to be afraid of a loss of identity, and I consider identity to...

    A lonely nation: Has the notion of the ‘American way’ promoted isolation across history?

    They are virtual synonyms. Both derive and are granted to citizens from a sovereign power. You don’t imagine that you have any “human rights” in a state of nature, where there is no government or other sovereign, do you? Even though people often talk about thei rights as if they attend them from...

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    Yes, because of the controversy surrounding the question, I verified the historicity of the historical independence of Ukraine myself. You are right to say that Ukraine “formed a part” of other polities all throughout history. It seems to have simply been viewed as a region or territory to be...

    But, surely you exaggerate…

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    Please spare me the dramatic soliloquy. It’s just an observation of what would seem obvious. Russia has her all to himself, with all the time in the world, and nobody’s gonna do squat. Russia (the Bolsheviks) created the independent Ukraine in the first place, so he’s her daddy, and like Bill...

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    Well, don’t feel too bad, because I think that the current world order will probably change drastically over the next couple or three hundred of years, in ways that we cannot even imagine. The agent of change, of course, will be climate change, which at this point I think inevitable.

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    That is a shame. You should be incredibly proud to be English. Man, the English made themselves into the premier people of Europe. Because of their particular characteristics, they were historically able to do more with less than any other people in the world, creating the most extensive empire...

    Hey, I’m in! I love anything to do with sexing!

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    I don’t think that you will have to worry about Ukraine, as it’s days seem, possibly, numbered.

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    That’s not what I am suggesting. What the heck does it mean to “be European”? What is the “European language”, the “European culture”? European is a geographic, and not an ethnic identifier. Hell, sometimes I even wonder, “what exactly the hell is ‘an American’?”, and “American” is much closer...

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    Has human nature changed in any fundamental way? As for your warmongering “elites”, that sounds like a propagandizing narrative. We’re the “Brownshirt” leadership in Germany of the ‘30’s “elites”?

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    Not to offend, but this sounds a bit naive. That is not how mob politics works.

    That “the EU would seem to be a very fragile system under certain conditions”.

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    I could not feel similarly, if it were me? “European” is not an ethnicity. I would not know how I am defining myself.

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    Imagine, if you will, a vastly more populated Germany, within which the population pressure has caused extreme economIc hardship and a surge of nationalist feeling as Germans regard to the east all those territories that it lost as a result of WW2 as being a good place to put all the excess...
