now the majority of people nowadays do no go by the hope of old times.

now the reason for this is important and goes beyond mere words.

our culture sees ethics especially national or civil politics as the rules and standards by which we guide ourselves.

I've tried explaining and it just leads to crossroads. I've explained it best I know how. I'm here to share ideas but how can you share if others don't even see the idea? You can't. I'm fine with disagreement but when you don't even care to understand and disagree because you misinterpreted what I said as a truth that was never said, then it never goes anywhere. "No. First you need to present your argument as succinctly and clearly as possible" Precisely what happened. "Then others consider your point and either offer support or challenges." People haven't considered anything if they don't understand.

"No it doesn't. Just put the bit you are quoting in its own paragraph, highlight it and click the third button from the left." Okay I need to download reader because I can't see that on here.

Don't generalize me like that please, Witness My Fury. I never claimed to know everything.

"Lots of people would understand your main argument." No, they wouldn't understand. They'd just disagree. "Make your thoughts really clear and then be ready to consider counterarguments." Counterarguments are mainly used because people don't care to understand you but they could generally be used just because someone disagrees which is great. "Why don't you try using the quote function? People are trying to help you." It's hard because it requires other things to be on my computer. I just don't have the space to download.

Well, that's the way you see it, cofty, and appreciate your help. "I still think you should try to rewrite your OP in 100 words or less." What good would that do. You'd still disagree either way. Except I'd have even less explanation. No use.

Oh, my bad. But even then. Too little context makes you feel like you didn't say anything to the potential you could.

It's hard to not use context without feeling empty. But it's good that you do that, cofty.

"It's that it is not evidence by any standards! It does not matter whether anyone sees it as evidence... because it is not evidence by any standards!" Understood. I'm saying that people can see it as evidence... Not sure how I can make this clearer to you. "I don't remember you talking about ancient history" Could have been replying to someone else. "Fine. I'll leave it to you. I'll be doing myself a favor." Thank you. It is an opinion after all but be just disagree, Saename. No problem.

"I distinctly remember your saying that both the scientific method and the belief system can lead to both right and wrong. And now you're saying that "[i]t's about the process to the goodwill." And also it's unclear what you mean by "goodwill."" That was said to make sure we're on the right page but I said goodwill to mean in particular the right part as executable things are wrong. No question. But the scientific method can be used for badness just like a religious system can. But I specifically was just focused on them used for good.

"You keep using big words that don't quite fit what you're trying to say or what you think they mean. Stop it. It's like you eaten a dictionary and don't quite know how to digest it. It's taking away from what you're trying to say." Not sure how, Landy. It's just being more precise in how you present your standing point. That's just my style but I appreciate you trying to help.

I'm well aware that they are inherently different but I'm saying they could be alike in that context, Saename. It's all a matter of what ones vision sees. "I'm not calling anyone crazy. I was pointing out that there is no logic in that meme just like there is no logic in your saying that creation can be evidence (which then you are contradicting later on by saying that it can be a proof), and how it's similar to the scientific method..." Exactly, there is no logic from the way you see it. I'd be inclined to agree but what I'm saying is that creation can be proof to people that God exists. Is that so hard to get? Just because you yourself don't see it as evidence and think it's wrong doesn't mean everyone has to.

"You were just "implying" that" Yes I was and recall using the word scarce once to refer to it. It was as simple as it could be. "You're saying that those systems are similar based on too general aspects!" Yes. That's true but not really involving when it's about someone who is engaged in wrong activities. It's about the process to the goodwill. "So... every species has an "essence" of who they are?" Actually, I believe they all do. Every species has an essence of the nature of their features. Again, my opinion. Don't take it as a statement of pure truth as it's subjective. Please.
