Please provide your definition of the phrase "common sense".

Fernapple comments on Oct 14, 2019:

It can mean a lot of things depending on the person using the phrase and the subject. Usually it is most used by people who have it the least. Sometimes it is just another cheap anti-intellectual shot, like "geek", "nerd" and "bluestockings", but if there is any thing called common sense which has value. Then I would say that it is the ability to make good value judgments about issues, where there is not time, freedom or resources for testing and fact checking, it is therefore a good last resort when we have nothing else.

Fernapple comments on Oct 14, 2019:

You have also to remember that one of the biggest medical costs, but one which is hidden inside all the others, is public liability insurance. And a lot of that is caused by people and their lawyers who push spurious claims, and also the vast cost of testing drugs and procedures for safety to allay that. Which often has to be repeated over and over for every single country where they are to be sold, because different countries do not accept each others findings, (No profits for their lawyers and government agencies if they did.) so that legal costs often make up the biggest part of a drug/ procedures price.

Many years ago Smallpox killed and maimed huge numbers, as many as one in four people could expect to get it. Those who survived were left disfigured, and it caused great shame because the wounds look a lot like Syphilis. ( Hence 'Small-Pox' ) It was the first disease ever to be completely eradicated, thanks to vaccinations, perhaps medicines greatest achievement, given the vast numbers of victims who had suffered. Polio was almost about to go the same way and be gone forever, until the religious fundamentalists stopped the work, in part by putting out stories in the developing world, that vac's was a western conspiracy to cause sterility in Moslem men.

His books go on getting more banal as time goes by, he should have stopped a the god delusion, sadly pedaling rubbish to keep in print will impact on his legacy.

You could define evil as just the doing of malicious harm. Or, that which is neither good nor neutral. Or, you could define it as theists would, as a power which opposes good. But the three are not mutually exclusive, so it may carry many and several meanings, it all depends on context.

Fernapple comments on Oct 9, 2019:

No not really. In early cultures religion was often devoted to more everyday things and fears, like illness, lions, and hunger. Fear of death perhaps always existed to a degree, but a lot of exaggerated fear of death was created by religion. Since as they are always using the god of the gaps, anywhere they can find mystery they can create fear and pretend to have answers. So since they are selling fake gap filler, it pays to exaggerate the size and importance of the gaps. A huge amount of religious propaganda has being devoted over the years to promoting a fear of death, and building that exaggerated fear into our cultures.

And it is the wealthy and powerful gangs who really make money , hardly ever get caught, and don't ever walk long distances in the hot sun carrying heavy weights, or live in fear of animals, or the guns of wardens.

The whole diplomatic immunity business is, and always has been, open to abuse, it is simply a get out of jail free card for members of the political establishment. It was brought in in the days when there was an assumption that members of the political establishment could do no wrong. Indeed the justification for it, that it protects diplomats against being persecuted on political grounds, is if you think about it for even a second very questionable. Since it is obvious that the only states likely to so treat diplomats, are those who will not respect international law anyway. Would diplomatic immunity have protect US diplomats in Tehran, if they had not got out in time, or Vietnam from that matter ? No, but it protects people who cause car crashes while driving stupidly, (this is far from the only case ), and it stops people like J . Assange from having to answer rape charges. (Note 'answer' not be convicted of, his guilt or otherwise is another matter.)

Whilst not forgetting for even a moment that for every bit of comfort it brings to a person, it brings untold pain to many more.

Language. Surprised. Because language divorced our communications and thoughts from the realities they represented.

In the end forcing us to create and maintain all the other evils listed, even though those evils brought us no benefits. Language is also of course, our greatest blessing, but that is another story.

They simply assert that god is eternal and has no creator or beginning, then if you ask how that can be, they say because they have faith. And if you ask how faith proves anything, they say it does so because god says so. And if you ask how they know god says so, they say because they have faith. And so you go on round and round in circles, until they punch you. Then as you lie in the dirt, you know that you have won the argument.

Message from Banksy...

Fernapple comments on Sep 30, 2019:

The advertising industry is based on the fact that, nearly everyone who has a surplus of money in the developed world, already has everything that humans really reasonably need. So they have to create needs and reasons or people to feel unhappy, in order that the people paying them, can pose as the solvers of the problems that did not really exist, (bit like politics). The main product of the advertising industry therefore is unhappiness, and they are very good at producing it.
