I get the joke, but I can't help but think that even geoff norcott would say "hang on a sec, what fire??? They not in the building yet...".

Indeed, since it's not even a tangent of the topic at hand.

Indeed, hubris seeds it's own demise, Trump is just a symptom of a deep seated disease.

The real hubris of America (among others), is thinking that some people don't deserve a vote; I think populism would work fine if the populous all had a say. All democracy requires to reveal the truth of society, is everyones voice, not just those of us that think/assume we know better.

Ultimately, it's Walt Disney's fault, for making us cry when Bambi's mum was killed; he greated the algorithm. That ignores the nuances of life, in favour of a cute picture.

I can only imagine that he got hard... Which seems unlikely...

Indeed, "cometh the hour cometh the man", all we got to ask ourselves, is this really the hour; or is it sometime next week?

What makes you think space-time has a density? Fabric is a poor word to choose, it only explains things on one level, thereafter it's a hindrance to understanding; imagination only work's to expand our understanding, when diving from the right platform...

The Judean peoples front... Fuck that...

I'm a 'they' to you bc we don't agree... Seems like a fatuous reason, given that we are both human, and I'm going to assume male...

Indeed, it/he seems like the fowl tasting medicine we just have to swallow, before we get better... The political pendulum has to reach it's zenith before it can swing the other way; the Trump may just be the easiest to swallow, we sure don't want it to ferment on that fruit...

Blazing saddles, seems more appropriate in this thread...

God has some very human attributes...

Why? If that's an extention of "relativity", you should know, that it doesn't work for everything...

Unfounded fear is still frightening, but do you really think a Biden voter would prefer TFG to an image of their scary mom/granny.

Indeed, religious thinking is available for all of those with an agenda, scientist's are such an easy target, bc one of them made a laughable mistake once (probably for money)... Delicious irony, if one doesn't like people...

The best animal for the task, in my opinion, has to be an octopus bc it doesn't seem to need a memory to work.

Did you even read my post? I've never advocated that we should adhere to any old text without any sort of critical thinking, but a good idea is a good idea despite who wrote it; denying that kinda makes one religious. The American constitution for instance, is currently heading towards the sort of conditions that inspired people like Jesus, Mohamed, Gandhi and Mandela, The constitution had some great idea's, until the word amendment was, somehow, defined as unchangeable.

Indeed, a third way...

Dirty Harry, just asked a question, jeez...

Do they? You know much that is hidden, Oh Tim...

eXTERMINATE, seems a little over the top; but don't forget who has to crop the fields... 😉

There is a third option, "Denise there's some lovely filth over here".

I think it's important to point out that a thousand year old text (God or no god) was written by people who were basically going through the same shit that we are today; and they were just a skilled (intelligent) as we are at living within our culture. There are some good idea's amongst the bad, even things like stoning adulterer's can be good, with the right cultural pressure; we are clearly inteligent enough to know that stoning people is not an appropriate punishment today. When are we going to realise that both Jesus and Mohamed got really pissed off with our banking system, for a reason? “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” - George Santayana

Like I said from the start of this thread, my objection is not based on competence, which I went on to explain in this thread; please read...
