  2. friends

  i’ve run into hard financial times and have decided to sell my second copy of coc for a fair price.

  you’ll find them on amazon for ridiculous prices starting from $59.84 for a beat up used one to $294.96 and up for a new condition copy.

  i’m selling mine in new condition for $50.00 plus shipping which should not be more than $5.

  After watching the video, I had to reconsider my position. These guys (LGBT/SJW) are not helping their cause. They are asking for more Donald Trumps to be raised.

  Please stop it. You are painful to watch. Enjoy the gains and know when to stop.

  Same sex marriage: YES. Laws against unjust discrimination: YES. But this. You are not endearing yourself to the very people you need to support your cause.

  Please don't set us all back one generation or two.

  "Legislation of language..." Cofty

  I wouldn't be surprised that the word "nigger" can trigger lawsuits left and right. Legislation of language is a modern way to control verbal bullying and abuse. Verbal abuse, unfortunately is much harder to determine than physical abuse, so we are forced to use the ""victim" description of abuse. I find the whole thing a bit on the trivial side, but I am willing to please the "victim" if it doesn't cost me anything. And the only cost is that I have to memorize few new words. Quite easy

  ".3 is transgender"

  They just need 47.8 of support from non transgender to get a majority. Then we will have to make small additions to our lexicon. No biggy here.

  If Anthony Morris wants to be called AM the third, I will call him that...I lose nothing, I gain nothing. Actually, in this case I do gain a chance to poke fun at someone.

  " do you think a society should evolve against the express wishes of the majority of its members?"

  I never said or implied that. New generations shift the composition of majorities. I live in California, where legalization of marijuana and same sex marriage were very unpopular just a decade ago. Well, that's changed to the opposite side. Our children will reject our values, or at least refine them.
  

  "Liberalism, just like the global economy and technology, is a powerful and unstoppable force..." "that sound ominous."

  Perhaps, but the evidence from the last 60 years confirms that those three things have momentum that no single democratic government has been able to contain. That's way they go along.

  Languages and societies evolve. Get used to it. Conservatives will always be few decades behind.

  Adding few words to the language... no big deal.

  Your boss requires you to use certain words...no big deal. Comply or find another boss; use your freedom

  At some point the professor says that government is legislating how to think... that's silly. Governments are just setting rules of behavior, not thought, to accommodate to people who have been rejected by our religious society for millennia. Liberalism, just like the global economy and technology, is a powerful, unstoppable force. Resistance only delays, but won't change the course.

  What is the purpose of life?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

  because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

  i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

  To what animals can we trace such things?

  To the simplest life form. Life grew (evolved) more complex over 3.8 billion years. That's plenty of time to create humans who can count to infinity and beyond.

  Would it be ethical for another nation to supply weapons to anti-Trump protesters?

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the usa, claiming that the usa supports freedom, has often supported revolutionaries/dissenters in other countries.. some examples:.

  currently, the syrian war commenced circa 2011 in the so-called arab spring.

  it is claimed that the usa supplied weapons to anti-government forces.

  Trump was elected democratically. No comparison. If you don't like it, make sure you get as many people to vote for your candidate next time around.

  Revolution???? because you didn't get your candidate? sigh.
