It was insane to attack Iraq and not the other one of the two countries responsible, Saudi Arabia. It was also insane to stay in Afghanistan after achieving our primary objective. But otherwise, how would we justify spending most of our resources on the military?
Moravian replies on Sep 11, 2019:
There was absolutely no posibility of attack or sanctions against Saudi Arabia and I am not sure why the US along with poodle Blair invaded Iraq. Obviously oil was involved anf Dubya just wanted to have a little war for himself

ISN’T THE BIGGEST THREAT TO THE CREDIBILITY OF CHRIST, HIS EMBRACING OLD TESTAMENT TEACHINGS?

He was an ultra religious Jew. or at least the person or persons he was based on so of course he would embrace the teachings of the Torah. Why does it matter ?.
Moravian replies on Sep 11, 2019:
@Dreamrider Not sure what point you are trying to make but for a start the old testament/ Torah is not nonsense. It is very entertaining mythology. The Jews were originally polytheists but gradually adopted monothesism possibly picked up from Mithraism when in exile in Babylonia. They were a very warlike aquisitive tribe and developed Yaweh as a justification for their behaviour. In the Jesus timeline Judea was a part of the Roman empire and the Jews longed for a saviour to lead them to their former glories. The area was awash with holy men and religious sects such as the Essenes and Therapeuts and it is interesting that the name chosen for this savious is Joshua/Jesus, the mythical leader of the Jewish people after Moses died. Christianity is just a cult/sect that got lucky and the original story has been embellished so much over the years that it is pretty meaningless as a historical story.
Although I love John Lennon's "Imagine," I also have some favorite religious pop songs.

Probably much worse than the fires which are mainly on cleared scrub land are the illegal loggers and miners who conflict with the people living in the forest.

@SLBushway The replacement ratio is 2.1/1 and most western countries are well below this. South Korea is actually below 1/1.Developed countries depend on immigrants but cultural differences cause conflicts as can be seen with Brexit and the fiasco at the US/ Mexican border. The world population has increased dramatically in the past decades. It is currently over 7billion and forecast to increase to just under 10billion and then drop dramatically . Where do you think those people are going to go ?. They will be killed in pandemics or wars fought over scarce resources. Much better to keep the population stable than have this happen. Of course some species breed indiscriminately, the populations increase dramatically and then collapse. Do you want to be a lemming ?

@EdEarl I think we are getting bogged down in semantics here. All I am saying that although people appear to exhibit a herd mentality it is much more complex than that. I do not believe that many people blindly follow one another but give it more thought than that and it is too easy just to label them sheep. Regarding the other collective nouns. they are used to describe a collection of animals but do not say anything about the behaviour of those animals. eg a gaggle of geese or a murder of crows. Herd animals blindly follow one another, tribal animals show empathy to others in the tribe and will fight with other tribes. Pack animals such as wolves will also help one another. but herd animals do not normally show those attributes.

@EdEarl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribalism. this probably describes tribal behaviour quite well and it is nothing like herd mentality. For example calling people who voted for Trump sheep or sheeple is lazy as they probably had independent selfish reasons for doing so. Some may have been swayed by public opinion or influenced by Trump's rhetoric if you could call it that but they are the opposite of sheep as they acted independently and did not follow one another as sheep tend to do.

There was never a morsel of doubt Trump is insane. And, the insanity of the people who continue to support him is also not in question. This will become even more apparent when he loses the next election.

Scotland has been underfunded and under-developed by UK governments for decades. The situation is not helped by major absentee landowners (there are occasional good ones, I'm told).Sotland needs land reform and major investment and will not get that from a Conservative UK government.

Moravian replies on Aug 4, 2019:
A very simplistic argument which takes no account of the revenue put in to the exchequer by Scotland, Wales and NI and why more is spent by central govt there. If I was living in one of the English areas outside of London I would be more aggrieved at the amount spent there which Is much more per capita than in Scotland.

What are your honest thoughts on astrology?
mcgeo52 comments on Aug 3, 2019:
I had a very interesting conversation with a friend about this yesterday. We both agree that astrology, as currently practiced is superstitious claptrap. However, he has been doing some research, and this is where it gets interesting. He has not finished the research to the point that he is...
Moravian replies on Aug 4, 2019:
But surely astrology has little to do with the planets and more to do with star constellations millions of light years away which have zero influence on earth. My late mother was an expert reader of tealeaves. Sadly the invention of the teabag spoiled her fun. Astrology is similar to tealeaf reading. A bit of harmless fun, no more, and anyone who tries to profit from it is a charlatan.
The one thing I still have issues with is the fundamental idea of property.
Renickulous comments on Aug 3, 2019:
Unless its man made it cant be traded? You sound like you've been reading some Marx. Capitalism produced the greatest gain in wealth and freedom across the classes in HUMAN HISTORY. Capitalism is better than all other previously tried forms of economy.
Moravian replies on Aug 3, 2019:
Of course it can be traded but it cannot be owned. Having title to a piece of land gives you in law certain rights such as being able to build on it or cultivate it, shoot game on it and sometimes rights to extract minerals from it but this is not often the case

Petter comments on Aug 2, 2019:
Unfortunately, Lib Dems only do well in by-elections, rarely in national ones. That's because they are basically a way in which to register a protest vote, not a policy intention.
Moravian replies on Aug 3, 2019:
@CeliaVL I used the term "far left" to compare them with the Tories ,but they are considerably further to the left then the last Labour Govt who were really neo cons. I would like to see the Lib Dems do well in England and I think they would pick up some votes from dissaffected Tory and Labour people. They are almost certain to keep the Shetland seat vacated by Tavish Scott,but it will be interesting to see where the other votes go.

We certainly have plenty of them in the UK. The house of Lords at Westminster is full of them. I don't believe there is one called Jesus though. We have a couple of South American football players by that name but neither have been elevated to the peerage--yet,
