  1. Who guards the guardian? As can anyone who is anonymous on social media...
  2. Eugenics' by any other name, smells as bad.
  3. Is it possible that we're talking about different people?
  4. Yet still, we learn. 😇
  5. Some time's, more words explain less... 🤔
  6. I wasn't referencing your mention of fish, I just think it neatly sums up the problem at hand. I'll paraphrase "Don't come to our country poisoning our fishing water's, then turn up 400years later, on your gap year, talking a lot of shit about fish." You can with an oportunity to learn.
  7. BTW did you whatch Frankie at 25:30ish? Because you're talking a lot of shyte about fish. Frankie explained it better at 44:30ish though.
  8. Because nobody is arguing that people aren't equally able; the aim is equality of opertunity. We're talking about people not spreadsheets, but while spreadsheets are used to prevent equality of opportunity, they're using different heading's. You should assume that my level of comprehension, is roughly equivalent to my level of eloquence; for further clarification just ask MigL. 😉
  9. I was suggesting that you think about the consequences of what you're saying. Now I'm asking, what does that even mean? "if you wish to address poverty", teach people.. I encourage you to watch the it all, but the relevant part starts at 25:30'ish...
  10. Imagine that...
  11. One day, we will see the true value of affordable; but I fear that day will be one day too late...
  12. Perhaps, but I have enough to eat in this one... I just wish you had Markus' eloquence.
  13. The threshold is ultimately arbitrary, what is the cost of war? You may as well ask, what is the cost of life?
  14. The other side of that coin, a friend of mine was invited to not be resuscitated, by a doctor, because he was a heavy drinker/smoker...
  15. He's afraid of not catching a fish, he can't eat. It's strange how our economy is flexible enough to pay for a war, yet we flounder when it comes to feeding our own people.
  16. We have found a witch, may we burn her?
  17. The old man just wanted to be lucky enough to have.
  18. What choice do they have? Against what choice do we have?
  19. What pleasure does the old man get from catching a fish he can't eat?
  20. Is it fair to pay, let's say, a football player enough in a year to retire on, for doing something they love? While, let's say, a nurse has to rely on food bank's to make ends meet? I don't blame the footballer for accepting the money, I blame us for accepting unregulated capitalism as the benchmark of fairness. Chasing job's for the sake of work is mindless, we have enough farmer's/nurse's/shit shoveler's who either love the job's or are willing to work hard for it's own sake or their's; that we can a) afford to pay them an inticing, more than livable wage. b) afford to pay other's a more than livable wage to keep us entertained. c) with enough left over to pay the rest of us to be lazy enough, not to fuck up the planet. Ricky forgets the pleasure that the industrious mouse gets from it's lecture... Kinda reminds me of Hemingway's "The old man and the sea".
  21. Thanks Mig, I had money on you saying that. 😊
  22. If we can't forgive our brothers/sisters, how can we accept ourselves? Utopia is a place we can find, if only we can be content with who we are... The perfect place is at peace with itself. Most worms are happy to be worms... I just wish I had your eloquence, Markus...
  23. I feel sorry for Trump and his ilk, imagine never being satisfied with the only arrow in one's quiver...
