This idea that because white men get what they want, men in general do, is wrong and IMO, dangerous!...

Deanervin comments on Oct 7, 2018:

Indeed white folk do have supremacy but there is a layer above of financial supremacy that not all whites are privvy to.

genessa replies on Oct 7, 2018:

@redbai i don't think you GOT it. did you not read the part about "that not all whites are privy to"? and nobody here is denying the evils of white supremacy. all we're arguing with is the concept that (pardon the pun) it trumps all evils. it's not a pain contest! g

This idea that because white men get what they want, men in general do, is wrong and IMO, dangerous!...

genessa comments on Oct 7, 2018:

white supremacy and patriarchy are not mutually exclusive. white supremacy's being a huge problem doesn't mean patriarchy isn't also one. g

genessa replies on Oct 7, 2018:

@PolyWolf haha beat you to it :-)) i knew that's what you were referring to. now watch, you'll be told you missed the point. anyone who disagrees is obviously too stupid to get it, right? feh! :-)) g

genessa replies on Oct 7, 2018:

@redbai every time i disagree with someone i am told i missed the point. it's kind of an arrogant response to being disagreed with. you're so right that if someone disagrees with you, OBVIOUSLY they just didn't GET it. i did not miss your point. i disagreed with it -- not all of it but much of it. and to answer your question to poly, you said the problem is white supremacy not patriarchy. that is where you denied intersectionality. g

My answer to the question, If not God and no afterlife what is the purpose for your life.

genessa comments on Oct 7, 2018:

so how does what you want for your family relate to there being an afterlife? i don't get it. it's good to be a good person; what has an afterlife got to do with it? g

genessa replies on Oct 7, 2018:

@paul1967 yes i see, yes that is fine. calling it an afterlife will confuse people, you know, since we already have such deeply embedded definitions for that. but you have described one of the major beliefs of judaism, which is that we live on in the memories of those who knew us, not just their memories but in their behavior and the effect you have had on them, not just your family and the families they create but even on strangers, depending on how wide your reach is. we say "we will remember them" and we mean "we will be remembered by them" as well, not only literally remembering the person, but carrying on whatever that person did that was good. i say "we" because culturally i am still jewish even though i am an atheist, i don't throw out the baby with the bathwater! g

A progressive scientific mind should have a healthy balance of skepticism and imagination.

genessa comments on Oct 7, 2018:

that's nice, and someone may take you up on it, but you know what? being clever enough to realize there are no gods doesn't necessarily mean being willing, after (in my case) 51 years of atheism, to devote whole bunches of time and energy to rehashing it, or reinventing the wheel, or proving ...

@jrome043 yes, of course, i know all that. maybe i would just call it something else... and no, creativity doesn't help. i still don't see them on the same scale. i understand how you see them that way, based on the example, but i still don't. i will try to think of a different word... or something. g

I just left Christianity, and they talk a lot about this "darkness" that Jesus delivered them from.

genessa comments on Oct 7, 2018:

in judaism, you cannot be delivered from a darkness of that sort because, for one thing, there isn't any -- no original sin, and no concept of someone removing from you the sins you've committed, either by confession or by dying on a cross for you, for example. also no fear of hell (except in ...

If there is no God, who is the next strongest? AKA Who is the most powerful person alive?

genessa comments on Oct 7, 2018:

there are all different kinds of power. no one is omnipotent. atheism is not a matter of thinking there was a god and he got deposed (and someone steps into his shoes). it's the recognition that there is no such person, no such thing and no such power. g

@x0lineage0x well, if you don't think i read the question and thought, then it is YOU who are so off base and wrong. don't assume things about me just because you don't like my answer. it's a thought-out and honest answer and it's in response to what you posted. your response to my response is one of those "you missed my point" responses that really mean "you disagreed with me and since that's impossible because i'm always right, you must not have understood." that is pretty arrogant. feel free to disagree with my disagreeing with you, but don't go telling me what i did or did not read and whether or not i gave it proper thought. g

Of the many things that the last week has shown is the need for term limits.

@Secretguy i don't know. ask holder and obama. they've had some success with the gerrymandering issue since the 2016 election. kavanaugh will make it more difficult. the only other thing that can work in our favor is voting. so take as many people as you can to the polls! then we'll know how that works out. g

@josh23452 it's been around for a long time. it's probably not going anywhere any time soon. g

brentan comments on Oct 4, 2018:

I think they are necessary to combat the spiritual malaise in society caused by the spiritual vacuum. I hope they stay in place until viable alternatives are set in place to give meaning to life and reasons to be just.

genessa replies on Oct 4, 2018:

they do not combat spiritual malaise, whatever that is (i am not in favor of so-called spirituality anyway -- i think it's "religion light"). if anything they cause it. g

It's been a while since I posted on here.

i don't understand what christian values are. are people who have never been christian devoid of morals or ethics? why do they even have to be called christian values? are they not human values? i have never been christian a day in my life, and i have ethics and morals. why do these have to be ...

i will add something: if jesus existed, more or less as described (by people who never met him, possibly because he didn't exist, possibly just because he'd been dead a few decades when they were born) he was jewish. what he is said to have preached is recognizable to anyone who knows ANYTHING about judaism as jewish values. so how come no one talks about jewish values? g

His speech was offensive and incorrect. Just the day after a Canadian woman was granted the Nobel prize for science. https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2018/10/02/nobel-prize-physics-awarded-tools-made-light-first-woman-years-honored/ What you fail to understand is that for women of my ...

Isn't that a clue to what, exactly? That Strumia is correct in his assertion that 'physics was built by men' and that women are demanding jobs in science without being qualified, resulting in men being discriminated against? Or do you believe it's a clue to some other underlying issue?

genessa replies on Oct 4, 2018:

can you please give me even one example of a woman demanding a job in science without being qualified... or even one example of a woman demanding a job in science at all? g

That's an invasion of privacy! Did I give you my f king number?.... Trump =ass

i guess i am lucky my phone is broken. g

genessa replies on Oct 4, 2018:

@DUCHESSA my phone's being broken is definitely not my call. i can't afford a new phone. being broke is also definitely not my call. but recognizing trump for the dangerous buffoon he is -- that, i agree, is definitely my call. g

genessa comments on Oct 2, 2018:

it matters if you're trying to accomplish something either alone while thwarted by those with a different perception of reality, or in concert with others who cannot agree with pertinent perceptions of yours. otherwise, not so much. g

genessa replies on Oct 4, 2018:

@johnprytz put it a third way: i really don't care whether you agree with me. if everyone agreed with me, that would be spooky, and not necessarily better than if everyone dissed me. g

Reality In Review: Part Three Reality and Free Will… What?

genessa comments on Sep 29, 2018:

"... if you are actually a colony of organisms, each of which have no free will (i.e. – your body cells hence tissues, organs and organ systems), then “You”, the total collective of those organisms that lack free will, can’t have free will." that is by no means a given. MANY things are ...

genessa replies on Oct 4, 2018:

@johnprytz why? is salt representative of all combinations? because one item is not greater than the sum of its parts, does that mean none may be? by the way, there are two definitions for catalyst. g

The existing/non existing Universe

genessa comments on Oct 3, 2018:

yeah. none of that is precisely what scientists are currently thinking. no one talks about the expanding wave of existence being time passing. they're talking about space-time, and some are thinking the big bang wasn't the beginning, that something happened before it. and there is no such thing ...

genessa replies on Oct 4, 2018:

@phoenixone1 i'm actually very tired, i listen to the science channel on a regular basis (albeit not while the doctor who marathon is on, as it is now) and thanks for the video but i have other sources, yes? g
