Until the people of the USA started to stand up and condemn the behavior of the establishment, most countries would have thought twice about condemning the all mighty USA assuming no one would believe them. Today when 59 African nations say that their voices will be heard and the rest of the world says we're listening things have changed. Trump's America is not the mythical America we all grew up aspiring to, it is America with the pants down and the mask off.

When I left the Mormon church most of my former brethren and sisteren kept well away. About two years later I encountered in town a family with who I had been very close in my church going days , after talking with them for a few minutes, the husband said "It's amazing how well you are doing I would have thought by now..." and then he blushed and stopped himself, I just smiled. Many godbotherers really do believe the myth that we become atheist "in order to sin" as if enough of them don't do so anyway. When they find we have not become baby eating, debauched, drunkards who have been abandoned by god and the world it really does confuse them.Why have not been smitted by the righteous wrath of the Lords holy fire, why are we not walling in misery? To them it just does not seem fair.

There is a similar story behind the swastika. What most people who discuss the swastika are referring to is the hakenkruis, the word used by the Germans themselves, which is a Germanic and/or Teutonic heraldic symbol meaning the conquest of death and resurrection. Hence the sign or national rebirth from a field of blood being the Nazi symbol. The actual Swastika is a part of the swastika and sauwastika duality symbol which was a Eurasian version of the Yin and Yang which are mirror images of each other symbolizing light and dark. In China the symbol is called the Wanzi and symbolizes "the whole of creation" in Japan and Korea it is the Manji. The symbol has positive connotations where ever it is found all over the world with the sole exception of Nazi Germany. The choice to call it the Swastika was purely a matter of propaganda, the word Hakenkruis (Bent cross) did not sound "evil enough" and ironically because in that form had appeared in the prophesies of Nostrodamus as the sign of the second anti-Christ. Identifying Hitler as such was thought to give to much credit to him and tied him to heroic tales of the Tuetonic Holy church Knights, so the name was changed to the much more ancient and none Christian name to make the nazi appear evil, and tied in with black magic and the occult. Flags, banners and symbols can be made to appears as symbolic s what ever you wish to be. Hence to a frightening large contingent of the USA public the flag of Robert E Lee is nothing more than the flag of the Dukes of Hazzard.

Is it the south that really won the American Civil War
LenHazell53 comments on Jun 17, 2020:
It has been argued by some philosophers, notably Jean Baudrillard, that America, uniquely, as a society defines itself by *what it is not * He for instance argues that the USA won the Vietnam war, that in superficially losing and with drawing all of the original aims of the war were actually achieved. Vietnam did not fall to bolshevism and actually out of necessity became more capitalist than it was previously, becoming a functional socialist democracy of sorts and a trading partner. The Russians were hegenomicly appeased and far right Republican ideals became firmly entrenched in the US political system as essential to well being. It is no accident that Disneyland opened in the same years as the beginnings of the Vietnam war, Disneyland was necessary to show the US what the country was not, place to provide an inspiration to an unattainable but desirable ideal, where as Vietnam was the flip side of the coin, a place demonised as everything to be feared if the people became to happy, too weak, too Disneyfied. Disneyland exist to warn against what the USA MUST never become, while Ho Chi Min's Vietnam existed to warn against what the USA SHOULD never become. Like wise the defeat of the south in the civil war was not a rout but was shown as a necessary defeat to warn against secession from the Union. Battle flags, attitudes, southern pride were all *allowed* to continue, poverty and ignorance encouraged to warn "there but for the grace of Lincoln go we" ie. America is not the South. However in time this policy has backfired as the gun toting, tobacy chewin' and science denying attiude of the worst of the southern states has proven to be very attractive to the church, commerce and political ideology to the point where "red neck and proud" is practically a battle cry. Liberal and democracy have become dirty words that have acquired new and undue meanings completely divorced for their actual definitions and America has adopt another stereotype to know they are not, "As Americans we are NOT, liberal, queer lovin', black tolerating, atheist New York city and Californicating pussy types. We are good ol' boys, 'cos the south is rising again!"

I like most atheists DO NOT tell believers "your god doesn't exist," I tell them there is no good reason to believe ***any*** god exists and that they are being irrational and dishonest with themselves in doing so, which is true. I tell them their churches are corrupt money making institutions who are systematically robbing them, which is true. I tell them their own theology and doctrines are contradictory and often evil and that they should actually read their own holy book to see what monstrous filth it actually is, which is true.

Should Government regulate how many hours we are allowed to work?
LenHazell53 comments on Jun 12, 2020:
On your original question "Should Government regulate how many hours we are allowed to work?" there is no such regulation in the UK, what there is amounts to a regulation forbidding employers for FORCING their employees to work more than 48 hours per week, it does not stop employees from choosing to do it if overtime or time in lieu is offered. However we won't have it for much longer once *brexit* is completed. Employers will be able to order unlimited hours work at no higher rates of pay on threat of dismissal. Even as things stand most of Europe feel British workers are already exploited and over worked because of exceptions, zer0 hour contracts, subcontracting rules, waivers and other technically illegal workarounds.

LenHazell53 comments on Jun 12, 2020:
I was watching a news piece earlier today and it was explained that the police unions hold the whole system to ransom to such an extent that most police officers feel invulnerable, knowing most complaints will be quashed or go unpunished, that crimes committed by them will be overlooked or minimized and that even summary dismissal or conviction will not change their entitlements to benefits. The whole system need overhauling, the unions limited to pay and benefit negotiations with an independent special judiciary overseeing all complaints and investigations and courts empowered to seize pensions and state or federal entitlements under circumstance of conviction and or imprisonment.
I wonder a lot. Could this really be a reason?
LenHazell53 comments on Jun 12, 2020:
Simple answer is that the original religion of the the Israelites (not the Jews, that came much later) was polytheistic Yahweh had a wife for a start named Ashera (for who the cartoon heroine She Ra is named) and several others abounded, later to be reduced to the rank of Angel or Demon. Yahweh just happened to be Abraham's family god originally known as Ea (pronounced Ya) he was the god of wisdom and water. However Ab'ram as he was then called noted how successful among the local religions Zoroastrianism was doing with it's simple dualistic system of one good and one bad god forever at war with one another over the fate of mankind. So he stole it Promoting Ea to Yahweh (I am that I am) and giving him all the powers and prestige of Ahura Mazda (The Lord of Wisdom) and dominance over all the other gods. At around this time the Genesis stories were plagiarized out of various other creation myths an hence the references to the Elohim in the story, almost always translated as God or Lord in English Bibles, but translated as GodS plural by linguists. After the "loss" of the Ten tribes Judaism developed from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin and one of their first actions was to get rid of Ashera (goddess of forest groves and fecundity) completely (the misogynist prophet Jeremiah was very fundamentally active in this regard) and rewrite all of the other god in to lesser beings, and then re-edit all of the scriptures to reflect the idea that there had only ever been one god and one naughty angel who was soundly booted out of heaven long, long, long ago.
Has anyone ever noticed that Admin never replies to any of these Community Senate posts?

I think this group only exists so that those who have been blocked by almost everyone, everywhere else can still feel they have a voice in a group where they are almost universally ignored . *"Sic via media, est saepe maxime stultum" * Didactylos,

Utilitarianism in it's bare bones form seems like a good idea. However when combined with pragmatism and democracy as it almost always is, it invariably leads to a Machiavellian nightmare of holocaust proportions, because the maximisation of happiness and well-being for the ***affected individuals*** is always at a high cost for someone else, once the perpetrators have defined who the **(positively)** ***affected individuals*** are, anyone outside that parameter is in big trouble, as Utilitarian pragmatisms demands "remove the person, and you remove the problem and everyone (still alive) is happy and in a state of increased well being." For example if in 1938 you were a blond haired blue eyed Christian German (other than Jehovah's witness' ) Utilitarianism was a promise of utopia. If you were a Jewish European, then not so much.

When you see two KKK guys in hoods approaching a large gathering of black folks are you not tempted to remind them of the lesson learned by that other good ole boy General Custer?
