What's wrong with walking? |
I don't drive or own a car. |
I'm really having a good laugh with your replies. You amuse me greatly with your total ignorance, naпvetй, backwardness and reactionism. You're a window into the kind of individual who votes for trump. It's still hard for me to believe that there are millions like you in the first of the first world countries. |
Just a few comments. I think you said you're mostly materialist but, being rational, you leave a little space for things that might appear as explanations for what we don't understand yet. Such as "dark energy". Scientists come up with notions like this in an attempt to provide some explanation for concepts that can't be accounted for by the theories of physics so far, which are not fully compatible. I leave one possibility open, one which doesn't strike me as totally unreasonable (as it was the case when I was younger): that we may not possess the brain power to understand it all at this stage of evolution. We'd like to think ourselves as being at the top. But maybe the top may never be reached. We may, for example, destroy ourselves in the mean time. After all, as human species, we've existed for a very very short period of time compared to the few billion years that this planet has existed. I understand the god of the gaps argument. It's a kind of childish one. |
Really? I can't believe you're saying this. ![]() |
I respect your views. I tend to be non-absolutist, and do not agree with pure materialism. That doesn't mean that I need to appeal to religious or so-called spiritual viewpoints. I simply think that matter and materialism are not totally understood, even from a scientific perspective. I usually appeal to our limitations in understanding. As for time, it's one of the most mysterious concepts, one that is not what we think it is (past-present-future are by no means universal and dependent on speed and gravity). The concept is even more complex when thermodynamics enters the picture. We,as humans, think we understand, and we need to think this way, else we'd go crazy in everyday life. |
You're right, of course, you live there. I haven't spent any considerable amount of time in the Netherlands during the recent years. But I used to know Amsterdam well and had friends who lived in rented apartments there. They were very happy. They raised families, they enjoyed their work, they didn't have cars, they relied on public transport and bikes, they walked a lot. Public services made life so good. They were happy. I forgot that right wing penetrator the Netherlands too and fucked it up for most of the people. |
The fascistoid/fəˈʃɪstɔɪd replied. He couldn't resist. |
What's wrong with ph a rt? You talk about basic human rights and he responds with bullshit.
He doesn't realise, for instance, that the Dutch don't care to own a property because renting is just as good. I rent too and I'm very happy. Owning is a headache. |

This video, aimed at beginners in Hegelian philosophy, does a marvelous job of elucidating some of his principal ideas. Hegel’s most recondite and formidable conceit resides in the dialectical auto-unfolding of Geist, wherein each ostensibly antithetical moment is not an aberration but a sine qua non in the teleological actualization of Reason. The manifold phenomena of reality are subsumed within a self-mediated totality, whose intelligibility is apprehended solely through the reflective peregrinations of thought, whereby thesis and antithesis are inexorably sublated into synthesis, culminating in the apotheosis of the Absolute. --------------------------------------- added after 240 hours Glad that phart hasn't picked on that yet. ![]() |
If elections have not been annulled by the thugs, and if the thug in chief is still alive.
Elections are, after all, part of a democratic society and, as you know, democracy is viewed as a problem by the thugs and sub-thugs and their cult. |
All religions are problematic. I agree with you and amplify: I don't agree with any form of superstition. |
Of course you're not. I'm glad that no fəˈʃɪstɔɪd replied to my comment. |
Why is trump upset?
Because a woman was elected as governor of Virginia. Why is trump fuming? Because a woman was elected in New Jersey. Why is trump cantankerous? Because an immigrant was elected in new York. I'm so sorry. Now, if you see this message and are a fascist, don't reply. |
I didn't know that this is the way melania trump was made! |

Never in my life would I have imagined that a rational individual would defend the mafia. I rest my case. |
This kind of language and behavior is unheard of in progressive circles. That's why I say that the far right isn't a political entity but a mafia organization,
an entity that's closer to the underworld than any human society. It's not even part of our civilization as humans. |
Exactly. They love and support criminal or thuggish organisations but none of their followers admit that. |
Tell her to shave your pubic hair too. She'll enjoy that. Decide how to fuck her only afterwards. Don't rush. See if he pussy itches. |
He's the representative of the radical left . |
The One Weird Trait That Predicts Whether You’re a Trump Supporter.

I'm laughing out loud that phart reacted by saying "it's too complicated" and that i should link "normal" things.
I honestly don't know what he means by normal and honestly don't find articles like this complicated. All you need is English reading skills and ability to concentrate for a few minutes. |
I don't find anything i link too complicated. I don't now what complicated means. If it's Chaucer-era English, sure, it can be complicated. But everything i post is pretty straightforward English that can be read by anyone with school knowledge. Keep in mind that English is not my native tongue, so what you consider complicated may not be the same as what I do.
Moreover, I posted a good Bridge, as you call it. I repeat it: --- Ian Angus illuminates the politics behind the decision by the International Union of Geological Sciences not to recognize the Anthropocene as a formal geological epoch. In recounting the debate, Angus explores how the organization undermined the conclusions of top scientists to oppose the establishment of the Anthropocene, and its implications for the public debate about the planetary crisis. --- This says it all. It's about a geological period, the current one, and how some people don't recognise it. When you read this blurb you immediately recognise what the article is about. When you read the article you get more information. Pretty straightforward. Also, you have the option not to read. |
My bad then. I found it interesting. |
Ananas2xLekker, I'm going to written the scope of this thread, if I may, and include items beyond YouTube.

Read again what i wrote:
Biden is a racist. The Trumps have had kkk connections for long time. |
I only said that the trumps have a kkk history. Fact. That's all. |
Exactly.
I said: trumps have a history with kkk. I never said Biden is not racist. He is. This does not contradict my statement. |
In what sense?
If you're talking about the maga people, not only will they be discouraged but they'll be empowered when they realize that the trumps have a long history with kkk and nazis. I only pointed out a fact. |

Read the article slowly and try to understand the message. If you still can't ask CAT52!. She'll help you. |
And yet, phart is still unwilling to understand the message of the article, that is, that it's about the fact that everyone has been talking about forgiveness, everyone except trump who only said that he HATES. He hates, he hates he hates. He hates so much that he's proud to say it out loud. Even though i had the article translated, from standard English, in what I thought was phart's language, he still won't understand. How do you explain this? |
Of course Obama didn't deserve it. Many times this prize is awarded to warmongers. |
CAT52!, I did my best to translate the article
I posted earlier in a language that I guess that this fellow phart might understand. It's just a guess. But I'm not sure. He might want a translation in Choctaw or Cherokee, but I'm not sure. ------ Now this here’s a story I done told before, but I’m fixin’ to tell it again — only this time I’m usin’ words simple enough that our buddy phart, bless his backwoods soul, might halfway understand it. It’s a story ‘bout pain, mercy, and a whole mess o’ what this country’s strugglin’ with. Starts back in Charleston, South Carolina — hot, heavy air hangin’ over the city like a wet blanket. A young fella named Dylann Roof, full o’ hate and bad ideas, walked hisself into Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church like he belonged. Sat there all quiet while folks prayed, then pulled a gun and did the unthinkable — killed nine good churchgoin’ folks in cold blood. Now, you’d reckon what came next would be pure fire and fury. But here’s where things turned. Just two days later, some o’ them victims’ families stood up in court, lookin’ that boy square in the eye... and they forgave him. Forgave him, Lord have mercy. One mama said her heart was broke clean in two, but she still forgave. Said the Lord’s grace was bigger than hate. Then President Obama come down for the service. He gave a speech, but it’s what he did at the end that folks remember — sang “Amazing Grace” right there in the pulpit. Voice crackin’, eyes glistenin’, every soul in the place feelin’ it deep. It weren’t no show — it was somethin’ holy. Fast-forward to now, and there’s a new heartbreak. Charlie Kirk, a conservative firebrand, got himself gunned down speakin’ at a college. Tragedy again. But this time, his wife, Erika Kirk, stood tall and calm at the memorial and said she forgave the shooter. Said Jesus would’ve done the same, and that hate won’t have the last word. But then here comes Donald Trump, standin’ at the same event, and boy howdy, his tone was a whole different BEAST. Said he HATED his opponent, didn’t want what’s best for ‘em. Wasn’t talkin’ ‘bout no forgiveness — just grudges and vengeance, like settlin’ scores at a cockfight. His folks cheered, too — folks who’d rather holler than heal, if you catch my meanin’. The fella who wrote this article — Mr. Remnick — he ain’t just talkin’ politics, though. He’s sayin’ grace ain’t some soft, church-Sunday kinda thing. It’s tough. It’s real. It means choosin’ to love when hate’s easier. It means doin’ the slow, back-breakin’ work of talkin’ to folks who don’t think like you and tryin’ to turn that mule of a mindset one inch at a time. He says hope don’t come from the White House — not from some speech, not from some savior in a suit. Naw, hope comes from folks like them mamas in Charleston, like that widow in Utah, who choose not to be eaten alive by anger. That kind of grace? That’s harder than shootin’ off your mouth, and a whole lot braver too. |
CAT52!, isn't it amazing? This guy still doesn't have a clue of what the article said. He keeps changing the subject. But I'm sure, CAT52!, you did understand the the whole point was the concept of hate.
What language, in your opinion, should the article be translated into so that phart understands? This is a rhetorical question. I do know the answer. |
It's the size of my cock. Small, albeit active. |
