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

    Not in the real world, in fact many leftists would regard being termed liberal a serious insult. You may find this useful. https://www.lawrentian.com/archives/1022577

    Noah's Ark

    I struggle to accept that in the twenty first century this discussion is happening. Don't worry about sea levels let look at the story. God, if I recall correctly, wanted to rid the earth of the unrighteous. So he gets involved in ship building and then we have all this messing about with...

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

    Well if you use terms like "leftists" you will inevitably hear "class". Assuming of course that you are communicating with people who do understand such terms.

    What religious experiences have you had?

    Quite a few over the years. Once I was staying in Scotland on a residential course. One day was set aside for an outing. We went to a stately home to see its famous grounds. Their main feature was that a previous owner had traveled the world collecting trees, many of which were still growing...

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

    I am not entirely sure that MLK can be seen as just a liberal. I think there may have been a bit of class warrior in that great man. https://jacobin.com/2021/04/mlk-martin-luther-king-poor-peoples-campaign

    Room here for ' relevant' Satire?

    I would then suggest the games pics and jokes section.

    Room here for ' relevant' Satire?

    I suspect that there is some confusion as to the meaning of "debate".

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    That sounds very reasonable. Somewhere on youtube I have seen two academics discussing this. As I recall, they agreed that this emphasis on historicity took hold during the enlightenment.

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    Hmmm a good point Luis. I have long wondered about the missing years. As a story its patchiness seems to make it more plausible. Fiction would likely be a little more creative. I suspect that the most likely scenario is that his life during that period did not fit in with the overall narrative...

    Reincarnation

    Yes Spice I can think of such things but I do not see choice as a requirement. Looking at much that goes on I feel that if choice was there, we would muck it up. The idea of choice is not a part of my tradition. How is a person’s rebirth decided? A person’s rebirth is dependent on their...

    Summer

    Once my family had a week on the Kent coast. In the evening we would walk into the village were there was a lovely old fashioned pub and we would sit at the tables outside drinking our traditional ale and admire the beautiful old Norman church opposite. As the the sun went down we would watch...

    Homophobia

    Oh yes, that sort of thing was very common in my youth. Other, probably wiser people, used to say, "look at who is pointing the finger and that is where you will find the real gay guy."

    Why are most Incels young men ?

    At no time have I mentioned any expectations whatsoever. I will freely admit that I have been rejected many times. All of the major relationships in my life were with women who sought me out. I am clearly not great in the chatting up department. We are all dealt a hand in this life. All to...

    Reincarnation

    Yes, I can understand having to confront ones faults by coming back as a woman for example but why would you be concerned about nationality? A system that can recognize our racism and sexism is just as capable of detecting our less obvious flaws. I really don't think we have much, if any choice...

    Why are most Incels young men ?

    Can you imagine if they did? and if you were still an incel afterwards. That's what I call rejection.

    Reincarnation

    I am glad to see nationality is not an issue for you. A system of spirituality which observed national borders is too weird to contemplate.

    What will Kamala do about Illegal Immigrants coming into the US in mass and taking over jobs?

    Do remarks like this ever serve any purpose in a political discussion? I doubt it.

    Homophobia

    I have never been anti-gay, My mother was very tolerant of peoples sexuality and I was raised accordingly. Beyond a dislike of discrimination and a strong sense of justice I had never thought much about gay issues. That changed this morning. @Shadow Wolf as part of another post wrote, "The...

    Why do insults drive some people to suicide while others aren't effected by even the most heinous insults ?

    The posts by @Viker and @ChristineM sum up the situation very well, I think. We are social creatures as well as being highly individual and very complex. When you throw some insults into the mix, there is no telling where the ripples will go.

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

    I grew up with racist and Nationalistic BS. The first mistake most people make is to ask 'why' questions. It assumes that there is the possibility of a sensible answer.
