To what degree should instincts be reined in?

Marine comments on Dec 11, 2018:

My instincts have served me very well these 79 years and I would never give them up.They have kept me safe ,aided in decision making and in general aided me in a very successful life. Three cheers for instincts.

Is there a difference between Patriotism and Nationalism?

Marine comments on Dec 6, 2018:

I truly believe that there is a great division between these concepts. Patriotism is about the respect and loyalty to one's country. Nationalism is believing that a nation benefits from being independent of other nations and not operating on a global or international basis. The latter can be very detrimental as occurred with Germany during the second World War or more recently as trumpy is doing. Patriotism can go wrong also but Nationalism almost always hurts it's population more . We have learned it is more beneficial for everyone to build on each other's strengths than to think you can do it by yourself. Trump's Nationalism is hurting the USA . He has offended our allies to the point if we were to go to war we would be by ourselves. Trade and his tariff's has hurt the world economies. As always in these situations those who are well off are becoming better off while the population as a whole is suffering. I will take Patriotism over Nationalism everyday.

Can Patriotism as religion encourage a sense of superiority by those who clain to be Patriots?

Marine comments on Dec 6, 2018:

I consider myself a Patriot meaning I respect and am loyal to the concepts of our Constitution, military laws,and the laws of of country. It does not mean I accept bad laws or the or the neglect in upholding the merits of the Constitution such as the separation of church and state which is so prevalent at this time.A patriot can question and seek to correct what appears to be mistakes like opposing the right of a woman to do with her body as she wishes or protect the rights of the LGBT community or to protest a war that is wrong.Religion on the other hand does not appear to give it's members this freedom of action. It seems cannon law is without flaws and must be adhered to. This is a great wrong. Just look how many years catholics were condemned to hell for eating meat of Friday but the military could always do it and by rule of the pope so can all catholics now. This means there is a difference between Patriotism and religion.

Marine comments on Dec 2, 2018:

If we look at our history books with few exceptions it has always been the male that dominates history. Even the women mentioned in history often are said to have had a male advisor that was in the background making the real decisions. Changing this and giving equality to women will not be an easy job and in fact it has taken centuries to come to this enlightenment and will take many many years to be implemented.

Why are we becoming a Nation without respect for each other?

Marine comments on Dec 2, 2018:

We do not respect our women because we do not treat them equal with respect to pay,consideration and position.We lack respect for our teachers claiming the child is always right.Respect for the politician is at an all time low as we consider them all crooks or dirty in some manner.We definitely lack respect for our employers because we see their lack of respect for their employees. What has caused this lack of respect?Some of it stems from the lack of socialization among the younger generations. Technology has taken over a large part of their lives and this has directly limited their social interaction. It is difficult to refine social skills like respect, love,trust and many others when your only contact is via a computer or phone. As for the lack of respect for teachers it comes from this helicopter parenting. None to very little discipline by the parent in bringing up Daisy and Bill. They received whatever they wanted without the earning requirement therefore they expect everything to be handed to them when they want it. Politicians and employers share the same traits. They both derive the benefits but screw the electorate and the employees.With the politician they can blame others for not doing what they promised and the employer must tend to the profit of the stock holder. As it can be seen there isn't any one answer to the problem of lack of respect.I personally feel frustrated and lack an answer as to how to change this situation but I have made it my personal endeavor to try and respect everyone and even those I dislike from now on. I do not expect it to be easy but necessary.

Should a vote of 51% vote to elect a Supreme Court judge for life be changed to75% for such an ...

Marine comments on Nov 30, 2018:

It would seem to me that scraping out 51% of the senate to elect someone who is to appointed for life isn't fair to the other 49% of the population.After all this person is supposed to represent all of the public not just 51%.Getting a vote of 75% seems more reasonable. Second , who wants 80 year old plus judges representing them. I am 80 years old and I know how hard it is to maintain focus. I would think 70 would be a better age to retire these judges. After all I believe the FBI must retire some where in their 50's??Both changes are needed now!

Do we value female life more than male life?

Marine comments on Nov 30, 2018:

We are in the middle of the me too movement which is calling a lot of attention to the problems people faced. It also is the result of the thinking that women could not care for themselves and that they needed a man to care for them. When a woman's death occurred it was somehow unnatural that a man did not save them. Men somehow were looked upon as hero's or just in the wrong spot at the right time and overcome by the situation. We always looked out for children and women dating back hundreds of years. Remember the knights and the favor they showed to women and children.
