What do you think about this saying "there is someone for everyone?" Is it true or BS?
RobAnybody comments on Mar 21, 2018:
It's BS based on a religious idea of predestination. That said it feels like people who are a good fit with my world view are "the one". This, of course, changes as my world view (or theirs, or both) changes.
273kelvin replies on Mar 21, 2018:
Predestination is not just the prerogative of religion. There are sound secular arguments that support it too. In the romantic, You end up with your high school sweetheart or a co-worker in much the same bracket of attractiveness as yourself. Political and science, Marx took the view that society forms a breeding ground for ideas rather than ideas shape society. For example the telephone, if Bell had not patented it then another guy was 20 mins behind him.

It`s all about trust and letting go but the rewards are well worth it. Sex can be one of the most joyous and wonderful experiences imaginable. It is how we create new life.

One of my favorite gig stories. Hank was down to play in this small town but by the time that he was due to go on he was too far gone. He just lay there in his dressing room and dynomite could not shift him. Reluctantly the manager came on stage and informed the audience that Mr Williams was too indisposed to perform this evening. All those wishing to get a refund on their tickets could do so at the door. However if anyone would like to see Mr Williams in his dressing room they could, in exchange for their refund.
Half the audience refused the refund and shuffled past a comatose Hank as he lay sparked out on his bunk.

Beheading has remained on the statute books for various crimes such as rising the Jacobite flag or burning the London docks because it is technically not a death sentence. It merely states that your head should be severed from your body. Whereas hanging states that you should be hung by the neck until dead.

To the best of my knowledge the US is the only country that has it as part of their constitution. Yet other countries populace own guns. If only 20% of the voters back this, it would be a political vector hard to dismiss. The arguments for its repeal are sound. Every time gun control is muted, you run into the 2nd amendment. Call for its repeal and you might get some real reform instead of the farting around that you have now.
The US left are very weak. If you only go for what you think you can get, then you always get far less. Go for what is impossible and see how far you can push it.

@Gwendolyn2018 To a large extent Christianity has been a victim of its own success. The sunday schools that were initiated by Methodists in the 19th cent. were just that, schools where the poor children could receive a basic education. This emancipation has led to a level of knowledge that made them redundant.
I still stand by my original post. The similarities between Islam now and Christianity in the 14 & 1500`s a striking. Not only it its age but in its behavior. Factional wars fought over differences in dogma, fatwas & excommunications etc. The very word " fanatic " stems from the inquisition.

@jorj Sorry Jori but there is a big difference. Firstly male circumcision is not done to lesson the libido or to subjugate the man. If it were then what would that say about the 60% of US males that have had it done. Secondly the act of female circumcision is not a particularly ancient practice and is not prescribed by any religion. As to the culture and sky daddy remark. That shows a terrible lack of sensitivity on the subject (no humor intended). I can only speak from what I know. My daughter is Jewish because her mum is. Thankfully she being a girl I did not have to make this decision. The culture is such that it defines you more than any I have come across. They feel proud when a jew does well and ashamed when one does wrong. The level of guilt they feel would astonish a devout catholic.But what a culture. From the arts, sciences and politics, a hugely disproportional amount of greats have come out of it. Marx, Freud, Einstein,Oppenheimer, Gershwin and Bob Dylan the list is far too long to go on. The USA would not have had the A-bomb when it did if not for Jewish refugees. This is their defense and reasoning. If it aint broke then why fix it? As to the male female thing. Lets face it men make the rules Be that in church or in city hall. If it was that terrible for a guy to have it done, then guys would have stopped doing it.

From what I understand it can make self pleasuring more difficult. Perhaps that is why it is so popular in the US, as it means that guys would be more dependent on women.

@AxeElf Facts are not based on faith. I pick up a cup, I drop cup , it falls, fact. I do not believe the cup fell IT FELL. I choose to say that it was gravity not though faith but because it best explains the facts. When Einstein said that light was effected by gravity, he said that 2 stars behind the sun would be visible during an eclipse and they were, fact. Now you can say that I only know these things because I was told them, read them, taught them etc. and you would be right but unless you want to say that our whole civilization is possibly unreal and I only " believe " that 17 children were shot to death in Florida. Then I will continue to go with " fact based " rather than faith based reasoning.

@AxeElf Whilst I do appreciate your presence on this site (it is nice to have a counter argument as a foil at least). It is impossible to prove faith based belief by reason. It is a bootstrap operation and will always remain so. This does not mean that the bible cannot be examined rationaly (without prejudice) for this may I recommend Jordan Peterson's bible lectures. Also I love the novelist Graham Greene. A convert to catholicism because of (not in spite of) its irrationality.

I may have told them of Messine ridge which claimed the lives of Thousands of Connaught rangers on one day, then thousands of Ulster Volunteer force on the next. A monument still stands with the two symbols of a shamrock and a black hand on the battles site. This opportunity was denied to me and others by a heavy handed judiciary. I also pointed out to my friend that given the history of NI, this could be viewed as political protest and as such should not be censored.

Conspiracy theories?
WilliamCharles comments on Feb 11, 2018:
The official narrative of 9/11 is itself a conspiracy theory by people with an agenda for hiding the truth. They prevented a proper forensic investigation from taking place, which is also a crime. The physics does not support what is claimed to have happened.

@GipsyOfNewSpain The powers that be are always selling us a crock. Orwell said it best in 1984 where the enemy periodically changes. In the case of the Reagan years it was like Mohammed Ali`s bum of the month club. Panama, Grenada etc. Mary Stewart? Well if you say Elizabeth I was a bastard then maybe but Mary was a catholic therefore a non-starter. It was only because her son was gay and eminently blackmailable, that he got the job. If you want to go further, the whole Tudor line is suspect as many think that Henry vii was an ethiopian in the fuel supply (work it out). I grew up with a 2 constant threats, Russia as you know and the IRA. Now I see Sinn Fein shaking hands with the queen. WW3? woulda, shoulda coulda, Churchill proposed the 2nd front should have been though the balkans. Would have put the iron curtain quite a few counties east of where it was but the logistics would have been a nightmare. Politics is the art of the possible and war is politics by other means. There was really no stomach for any more conflict in 45, end of.
In one respect it has been the economic war footing the USA has been on since 1942 plus it`s consumer economy that has led to many of it`s problems. Yours has been the only economy that has ever done so and as such the debt it has accrued is mind boggling.

It took the guy a month to draw this thing and though I never saw that one I know from his work that it would be great (I bought one of his paintings).

@GipsyOfNewSpain Okay I know its difficult to swallow that a few guys with craft knives humbled the USA but lets look at what we do know. Undoubtedly 2 planes did hit the towers. Also it is not disputed that it was the work of Al-Qaeda terrorists. Conspiracies surround whether a, they were working with or with the acquiescence branches of the US govt ie. security agencies. b, The towers collapsed after the attack. Should they have done so?
a, What was gained and what was lost? On the face of it it is easy to assume that all the draconian security measures instituted since 9/11 plus the excuses to invade Iraq make it sound plausible. What was lost? The loss of face suffered by the CIA and FBI was immeasurable. To this day the FBI is still on the back foot (re Trump-Russia hearings). The economic fallout resulting from the attack can be directly linked to the crash 2008. Plus it would mean that members of your govt colluded with terrorists in killing thousands of US citizens. It is difficult to imagine that group of people who lets face it sign up to defend their country would agree a, do so or b, keep quiet about it? One or two maybe but that many?
b, Is largely dependent on a, For the towers to have collapsed using charges, they would either have to have been placed there beforehand or after the attack. To have placed them there beforehand would presuppose a level of malice aforethought on a huge scale. Not to mention the risk of detection. I will not even entertain the idea that charges were placed post attack. The thought of getting them there and placing them in 2 burning buildings whilst battling though thousands of panicking people is... To what end? The devastation had or would be done anyway. The demolition would be gilding the lily somewhat and again risk detection.
When we look at the conspiracies surrounding 9/11. Let us bear in mind that this was an administration so incompetent that it could not even get essential supplies the the beleaguered citizens of New Orleans post Katrina !!

You are applying a science law to a social science, they work on different rules. Newtons law does not take in to account that some thing can be greater than its constituent parts. My favorite story that I tell to many artists and artisans goes like this. A very high class lady walks up to a milliners counter. " Georgio you must help me. Look what this idiot has done with my hair. I have a charity dinner tonight and its a mess! " The milliner looks at her hair and brings forth a yard of silk. Then he fashions a sublime turban, complimenting her features and dress. " That`s wonderful Georgio " says the lady "How much do I owe you? " " That will be $200 ". " What! $200 for a piece of cloth? " The guy takes the turban from her head, unravels it and then hands it back to her saying " The silk is yours for nothing MY expertise is $200 ! "
