You are being logical toward illogical thinkers.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Jul 21, 2020:

@Joanne I'm not sure you are taking my statement as intended, but that said, there is absolutely no way to prove a god or gods exist. If a supreme being appears, that does not prove gods do, except for the idea of "miner gods." Can even death prove the existence? Maybe. But, again, logic would say, you are dead and your perceptions can be altered. The idea that one needs a god to be a good person is where my stance on illogical thinking stands. People can be and are good or bad whether they believe in some god or not. Many of those people, who do believe, think only god believers can be good. Many others of the same ilk recognize even non believers can be good, but do to their non belief are condemned to some other fate than the real believers will experience (usually a bad fate, or just nothingness - which most atheists believe anyway).

Oh yea. Just to intersperse my own opinion - sex is good, but at a certain age one should not have any kids, like so many famous men like to do.

Our constitution won't change any time soon- but we could do more with: waiting periods; background checks; limited ammo; required training; out law semi automatics; etc. I always argue - look at Finland, they have many families with guns and near zero murders. We don't even have what the Finns have - polar bears and Russians.

@Marionville I have argued most of my life against capital punishment. I had a student once try and goad me with, "What if something happened to a member of your family?" I responded that I hoped someone stopped me from doing something myself. I told him that yes, there are evil people who should not be here, but a country should never kill any of their own people. He actually stopped and thought about that. I agreed that any one would feel emotion, like those people in Norway, but it doesn't make capital punishment worth the cost (interpret cost anyway you fathom its multiple meanings).

Ahhh but that's where faith comes in, at least that's what they say. The whole concept of faith is the big cornerstone for most, if not all, religions. Without that faith, it would fall apart, as there is no true evidence.

No, I firmly believe that some people do not deserve life.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Jun 25, 2020:

My answer to you is simple, you are right that some people don't deserve to live. There are many really bad and "evil" folks out there. That said, do you think this is the country that you can trust to pick those people and eliminate them? Sure, some, like the Ted Bundys are easy, but what about others? Circumstantial evidence? A system improperly and unfairly regulated?

You need to travel into the countryside more often. There are places where 2 dollar bills get cops called on black people, it will work in places. (And the 2 $ bill case - 2 cops showed up and the one cop wanted to arrest the guy).

I believe that there is little legal recourse and that songs can be played, as long as the campaign pays - which they never do, so it may be the end of the fair usage.

The teenagers of the US scammed him and reserved thousands of tickets they had no intention of using.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Jun 21, 2020:

No matter how great that was for the teens to do, do not allow tRump to use that as an excuse. People just didn't show up; that was a near 19k seat stadium and was near to empty. tRump is, right now, blaming the protesters. If that is true, it isn't in my mind, then he just admitted that his supporters are a bunch of cowardly SNOWFLAKES.

How Cops Are Trained To Shoot You In Your Home - SOME MORE NEWS - YouTube

Captain_Feelgood comments on Jun 20, 2020:

They don't train cops to just shoot people when ever they feel threatened. This guy is not being honest about police training. Yes there are bad cops out there. There are a bunch of great cops out there.. But the bottom line is that they are also human, and they make mistakes just like you and I do....

Beowulfsfriend replies on Jun 20, 2020:

The "great cops" are the ones who stand up and call out the bad ones. There are lists of these cops, MOST were fired.

The-Krzyz comments on Jun 19, 2020:

Shut ‘em down and get the pups to a no-kill shelter that can adopt them out legitimately. These mills are a “cottage industry” rampant in parts of my community, that caters to a demand for “pure bred,” small dogs that are carried around as self-indulgent props.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Jun 20, 2020:

You have the right answer, I believe. If the pups came from a shut down mill, yes.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Jun 17, 2020:

A lot of bands do things like that voluntarily, others ignore, some sue. Led Zeppelin just won a case in which the jury could not listen to the songs. Everyone who listens agrees, they stole the lead in for Stairway. Dylan is notorious for not allowing others to share or rewrite his material; although by law, as long as he is paid, his permission is only a formality.
