Religious people are probably the most obnoxious people on this earth : atheism

anglophone comments on Jan 8, 2021:

I prefer a slightly more nuanced approach. Religious zealots of whatever religious persuasion find me to be the most obnoxious on earth, and I return the compliment likewise, but at least I don't go around murdering other atheists because they happen to be Sunni atheists instead of Shia atheists.

How do we get white supremacists out of the police forces.

The more I think about it, the more I come to the same conclusion. It seems obvious to me that Donald Trump deliberately weakened the security around Congress so that his rabble of "storm troopers" could invade the building and threaten members of Congress.

In a bit of quandary here and I'm hoping for some helpful suggestions from friends and members.

anglophone comments on Jan 6, 2021:

There is a balance to be struck here, and unfortunately I cannot give you a clear-cut answer. The balance is between your own (and wholly understandable) desire for a quiet life, what your own opinion of just how much her sort of behaviour should be confronted and controlled by society. Only you can answer that question for yourself.

TODAY is the time for action under the 25th Amendment to remove the idiot Trump as mentally unfit.

anglophone comments on Jan 6, 2021:

He should have been removed at least three years ago but the Repugnicant Party refused to do that.

Now what?

anglophone comments on Jan 6, 2021:

This was the inevitable outcome of the way Donald Trump whipped up his support base, also known as the right-wing extremists in the USA. His own party failed to control him because they lacked the foresight to see this coming and the desire to reign him in. The malcontents that Donald trump has stirred up will remain resentful for years if not decades. It will take a very long time do undo the damage that he has done. Joe Biden has an almost impossible task in front of him.

Donald Trump's support base needs to be identified for what it is: a bunch of anarchists.

Can you recognize logic when you see it?

anglophone comments on Jan 4, 2021:

I have two principles when it comes to logic in the sense that you use the word. 1. Does it follow the rules of inference? 2. Is the evidence falsifiable? Unless the answer to both questions is "yes", then it is not logic in that sense of the word. Donald Trumps "find me the votes" is irrational. Anybody's choice of any particular god or gods is equally irrational. Both constitute logical fallacies. See also https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ .

Should people continue to keep pets? [theguardian.com]

anglophone comments on Dec 30, 2020:

I find that article to be overly anthropomorphizing. It fails to look at the situation from the animals' points of view. A horse can be a pet just as much as cats, dogs and parrots. I regard it as incumbent upon those who keeps pets to learn not only the signalling system of the species, but also the personalities of each of their pets, and to provide husbandry accordingly. My horse thoroughly enjoyed my company while she was alive. My two cats make it abundantly clear that they enjoy my company. Those of my Muscovy ducks that are pleased to come up to me to be hand fed wag their tails in delight; they much prefer to be hand fed rather than eating from the ground (as their peers do).

It might also surprise you to learn, as I did, that "mere" acquaintances also see value in you. Consider that people's opinions can and often do differ. Such differences are indeed divisions, but such divisions are not necessarily a cause for strife. I cite two theists of my acquaintance in this regard. If somebody else takes exception to your own values, beliefs and opinions, that is their problem, not yours. And as @jlynn37 says, just keep truckin'.
