Then again, certain police may have already been susceptible to indoctrination, and just switched allegiance from one mind control group to another.

Infiltrated Elders?
by john.prestor inso i'm watching john cedars commentary on the annual meeting from this last october, and at one point he shows a clip of garrett loesch talking about the struggles jehovah's witnesses faced decades before in the soviet union.
he claimed that police officers, maybe the kgb, infiltrated congregations which met in secret by studying with jehovah's witnesses, getting baptized, and then working their way up to becoming elders.
ceders jokes that this shows what kind of role holy spirit actually plays within body of elders, but another interpretation came to my mind just now.

Roughhousing? I went back and looked at the commercial, and though they were the same size, one boy was in distress. When I roughhoused with my brothers, there was generally a sense of play, and usually we were laughing.

Cofty. I wasn't disagreeing with your view of the differences between men and women. They're certainly there. I was just trying to give the women the benefit of the doubt, not challenging your premise.My apologies.

What Are Your Rights?
by Simon inrights seem to be everywhere nowadays.
say hello to someone in the wrong way and you've violated 101 of their human rights.
people imagine they have the right to all sorts of things - food, healthcare, housing, internet ... so many things are labelled basic rights and then you get onto their human rights - a favourite of the do-nothing bodies such as the un to declare.

Of course, I was speaking of Joe Salerno.

I stand by my statement. Any serious examination of all the material I've presented is there for anyone who does more than cursory research. Some of my conclusions come from reading articles that the Institute has published. Walter Block has written on every topic I mentioned, and you can hear him espouse them on Youtube, and in his book Defending the Indefensible. Austrian Economics is merely another philosophy among many, and like Libertarianism, disagrees with other's ideas, and considers itself the true standard bearer of correct economics. Being a proponent of that philosophy, and by his association with the Mise Institute, I would assume that he shares many of it's views, so I choose to take anything he says with skepticism.

Lofty. May I make the observation that I see no mention of how many women, (as compared to men) were experienced campers. That should be part of the equation. If I put my 19 year old son in the woods with his nerdy friends, they'd be dead in a couple of weeks.

Joe Salerno is associated with the Mise Institute, a right wing think tank partially funded by the Koch Brothers. At various times it has advocated such ideas as the 9/11 conspiracy, that vaccines cause autism, climate change is a hoax, the Theory of Relativity is a sham, and HIV doesn't cause AIDS. One of it's Fellows is the Libertarian Economist, Walter Block, who believes that we are not required to feed or clothe our babies, can sell them if we wish, and can allow them to die if they're deformed. He defends blackmail, slander, libel, hate speech, and child porn. His only objection to slavery was that you couldn't quit, but you did get to pick cotton, sing songs, and enjoy your thin gruel (his actual words!). He is against charity, as he feels it disrupts the Survival of the Fittest.
Excuse me if I'm not inclined to take anything Mr. Salerno says seriously.
George Carlin is one of my favorite comedians, and though his humour is often very insightful, sometimes it's just very funny, and tells us things we enjoy hearing, whether they're true or not. A hysterically funny opinion is still just an opinion. So, on the whole, I don't feel your arguments are very compelling. Sorry.

There is no true socialist country. The USSR is a primary example of why it can't work. An honest person will admit that Bernie Sanders and AOC have never advocated for a purely Socialist country.
Even Ayn Rand, the staunch advocate of Libertarianism, ended up on Social Security , not prudently having saved up enough money(as was her right) to live upon in her old age.
By the way, I wasn't referring to you when I referenced strawmanning.

Just a note. Upon reflection, I realize that Kerala is a state, not a country, but to all intents and purposes, it operates on the same dynamics as a country, though you are free to disagree.
