  1. That's enlightening. I never thought of it that way. So, the US has got a significant problem whereby the governance and media reflects the whims of those that can afford it.

  3. Ironic on a couple levels. Without an external observer I wouldn't have noticed the error.

  4. You toggled your checker from "spelling" to "irony" again, didn't you? And that's why it's hard to argue with faith. When something you've dreamt up makes such perfect sense to you, the emotional emphasis makes the idea SEEM tangible. You become convinced you're right, and you're sure there's a good way to explain it but you can never come up with the reasoning, it always seems just out of reach.

  5. So you've chosen to focus inward to the exclusion of knowledge of the natural world. I think that's a mistake. It seems like trying to fix the notes of a song without playing/singing it through first. Or like trying to guess all the infinite possibilities of what might be inside a package without first trying to look at it from the outside, and at least measure the box (with all your senses) so you have a better idea of what it could hold. Or like deciding that you don't need to walk carefully across the lake of thin ice if you focus on leaping only to the bits that look safe.

  7. I'm glad you think you know me so well, Ten oz. I think I've come to know quite a bit about your character as well. As For D Ford I only mentioned him in passing while describing the current state of affairs in Ontario and our ballooning deficit. But that would have to mean you actually read other's posts, and don't already have preconceived notions. I mentioned several months back how I was going to vote in this election, as I only have respect for one of the leaders, Andrea Horwath. She happens to lead the NDP, a SOCIALIST party. So I have no idea why you keep referring to D Ford. But that would have to mean you actually read other's posts, and don't already have preconceived notions. That speaks volumes about your character ! I'm sure others are bored by our bickering ( at least Phi is ), so I'll give it a rest. You go ahead and keep on going, if you like. There's plenty of other stuff to make up about me.

  8. While your concerns might be true if Ten oz spoke only of Republicans, or even American Conservatives, the fact that he labels ALL Conservatives, CharonY, wherever they may be from, is prejudicial and hateful. We did not vote in D Trump, nor support him in any way. Need I remind that the typical Canadian Conservative is far to the left of Republicans, Democrats and probably even B Sanders ? I suggest you use a much finer brush, Ten oz. And while I may have brought up some subjects you did not like and consider unsavory, what I don't like, is the hypocrisy of preaching tolerance and respect for all people, while actively vilifying and disrespecting those that disagree with you.

  9. Sure. Lets take the generalizations one step further. Americans have aligned their values and ideals with those of D Trump, by electing him President. IE all Americans are responsible for making America mean again ( and the laughing stock of the world ). Or are generalizations only valid when they suit your narrative, Ten oz ?

  10. I don't really label myself, Ten oz; I have voted liberal, conservative and even socialist ( yes, we have more than two parties in Canada ), depending on the issues of the day. But I suppose most people on this forum would consider me a fiscal conservative because of my stance on excessive borrowing and runaway debit. You seem to think that invites a comparison to American Republicans and even D Trump ( in your previous post ). Maybe I should make a few comparisons of my own... Your American President has recently called our Prime Minister 'dishonest and weak'. Your former President R Nixon called P Trudeau ( father and former PM ) an 'asshole" Should I assumes that says something about the character and integrity of all Americans ? ( you are American are you not ? )

  11. Don't tell me you're calling your beloved dog/cat per "it".. I am always using "he"/"she" according to sex of animal. Two days ago, dog jumped on me, and kissed me, and I said to owner "she is so sweet", not "it is so sweet"..

  12. Yes, we can... It has been a long 18 pages of discussion. You're right, it shouldn't exclude knowledge of the natural world. The purpose of looking inward is not to prevent one from looking outward. Although, the focus should still be inwards rather than answers. When trying to find answers about the inner reality, it only makes sense to look inwards towards it, for answers about it. The external reality has different answers to different questions, although it can certainly help in answering the internal questions by looking outward.

  13. Strange, when I replied to swansont I quoted his post so HE would be notified that I had replied to HIM, is it not considered behaving ignorant 'chipping' like You just Have Again?

  14. As far as your last quote from your last post swansont I don't agree, when I'm in meetings/discussions if a particular person is addressed normally folk wait for that particular to respond, you must do things differently in the US. As regards your other quotes thank you, having just looked at your link it shows the 'gravitational' wave lasted approximately 0.45S, with a 'Strain' scale of +1 to -1, what exactly in simple terms is the 'Strain' indicating?

  15. Faith can lead a path that can lead one to answers. It is a path that can be considered on a personal level in this way.
