Religion in schools

Austin-Cambridge comments on Jul 16, 2020:

Religion is a subject like any other, It should be taught in schools but pupils should be taught about them and not told to believe, indoctrination has no part in education.

Wow, the turd has really lost it.

Jingoism of extinct politics!

Had Obama done this in the oval office can you imagine the attacks in Fox and from republitards?

Austin-Cambridge comments on Jul 16, 2020:

It's difficult to find somebody to say a nice thing about Trump, advertising gone wrong?

Honestly, how else do you think they could talk him into it?

Truly memorable!!!

Austin-Cambridge comments on Jul 6, 2020:

What a contrast you show there, words of wisdom and just words, blather, blah, blah, blah Trump! :-D

He makes my skin crawl, so I normally just read the transcripts, but sometimes what he says is so ...

Austin-Cambridge comments on Jul 6, 2020:

His comments are becoming more bizarre by the day, he'll probably be in a strait-jacket come election time! He's either way off script or his writers are as sick as he is! :-D

Trump's Lawyer William Barrf got rid of the Federal Prosecutor in Washington, DC.

Austin-Cambridge comments on Jul 3, 2020:

If the GOP continue to allow this political manoeuvreing to continue unchecked they must be removed from power, the offices of the DOJ are not meant to be used for party politics, stamp them out come November, in the senate being most important!

Austin-Cambridge comments on Jul 3, 2020:

I'm sorry to hear your decision RichieO although I cant say I'm surprised by it, you have done your level best to provoke interest in CT, I was no. 113 when I joined this group and have come a very long way in my understanding with your suggested reading and video clips of great thinkers, thank you for your tutorship! 389 members today and no significant rise in intelligent posts since I joined, very sad situation and indictment of the site membership as a whole!

Is anyone willing to answer any of these with honesty?

Austin-Cambridge comments on Jul 3, 2020:

My answers are: 1) Those who think critically 2) Those who think critically 3) If there were a party that thought critically I'd be a follower 4) Other than intelligent and deep thinkers, none! I do wish there were more posts on the subject of CT in this group, most recent posts are off subject and quite vacuous and inane, thanks for bucking the trend RichieO, I see your motive if most don't!

Needs a pacifier!

Austin-Cambridge comments on Jul 3, 2020:

If he has done anything as president he has proven that he does not think at all! :-D

Couldn't be more accurate. Weather the trumpsters want to accept it or not.

A new expression for "moron" "ignoramus" and "traitor" should be coined..........A TRUMP!

Austin-Cambridge comments on Jun 30, 2020:

Outrage would have been the answer to that, he suffered for not having "bone-spurs" unlike the "pussy" Trump who had the nerve to criticize a true hero patriot!

Is anyone willing to answer any of these with honesty?

Austin-Cambridge comments on Jun 30, 2020:

Just one nut case apparently, not that he answered any of your questions! :-D I will post my faithful answers to those questions when I get my breath back!

Thought provoking! There is, and It's undeniable, a fine balance in nature, which if interrupted brings brings It's own dangers to many species that occupy this world! Mindless crop spraying comes to mind, driven by greed, it denies insects their percentage of the food available and has a knock-on effect (which few really comprehend) on other species including man. At some point it must be realized that mankind itself is a plague, nature is doing It's best to deal with the imbalance it is causing to the ecosystem as a whole and is engaged in a never ending battle to limit our numbers. Expect more cunning natural events in the future, nature can be harnessed but not controlled!

This is why the British police do not normally carry firearms, a good knock on the head is enough to subdue the average miscreant, we have specialist firearms units for more dangerous situations who are called in when required, traffic police are not armed, normal beat policemen are not armed but in the UK citizens are normally not armed, just criminals, a different picture altogether!

Austin-Cambridge comments on Jun 4, 2020:

I have lived long enough to have seen politicians of every party come and go, there have been few who one could call honest and equitable. Political systems are corrupt by their very nature, having to rely on wealth to be elected is totally corrupt, any truly good person normally has no such funds, money, the root of all evil, is usually accrued by the most uncaring and greedy, evil people. No names mentioned as there are far to many! If you vote, you vote for one of these, be wise with your vote as it represents what you can expect in the future!
