I'm coming out of my shell and learning how to handle people on multiple levels for the first time. Dealing with them behind a black mirror is easy - I've done it for years. Phone calls and face-to face are a whole new world.

Baby steps. There were some Beatles fans who claimed how The Stones were the most overrated band of all time. Painful. I just smiled and said, "I like Zepplin."

I wish there was a mark response as top answer button option. Maybe I'll bring that up in the Community Senate.

You still believe in currency, right?

@UrsiMajor Lol fuck yeah I’ve got bills to pay.
But as former law enforcement I can tell you that

I’ve encountered “ sovereign citizens “ and whew man let me tell there’s nothing like looking at a drivers license and seeing that this guys house is supposed to be a country.
Just like on family guy when Peter declared his house as Pretoria ? seriously

@UrsiMajor

Do you know the difference between currency and money?

Currency is not necessary and is actually used to steal from a populace.

If you simply confalte money and currency, then you, and everyone else, will have a bad time.

@BryanLV I googled it. We won't be having currency in this utopia - b/c there will be no government in an alchemist world.

The difference between money and currency. Such is the basic difference between money and currency. While money stores intrinsic value within itself, fiat currency possesses buying power bestowed upon it by the government.

@UrsiMajor

Have you heard of The Venus Project? What are your thoughts on it?

I do not understand what an alchemist world is. I don't think theres any such thing as utopia, but I might need to comprehend your positions better.

@BryanLV My new friend told me he is an alchemist. It's new to me too. I thought I had heard of it all. I tried to google it- vague stuff. I heard about the Venus Project through people on this website. If it works for them - I think they should try it and provide feedback on this website. Not for me though. I tried to explain to my "alchemist" that I can't go off grid and stop supporting my mom and little dog financially.

I am a liberal. My primary specific demographic is the strain that has a melt- down when someone threatens to take away my reproductive rights. I am asking if anyone has heard of this new neo-conservative "alchemy" that I find disturbing- and how to handle it.

@UrsiMajor

I can respect those positions. I love the direction. Especially since its voluntary. Socialism by force is nothing more than tyranny.

Here is an article claiming that Obama killed actual terrorists.

[washingtonpost.com]

@UrsiMajor Does it matter?
It is in another country, without trial, or treaties authorizing and with innocents dying as well. It is assassination with extra steps.
Why does your legal system does not apply to those guys?
Think if any other country had the capacity to do it in USA, how many would die?

@Pedrohbds It's just a new kind of war -based on technology. Would you say that we should not have fought World War II because some soldiers committed war crimes?

@UrsiMajor

False equivolancy statement. World war 2 should not have been fought for many reasons. War crimes being one of them.

The war was for money. All war is a racket. Have you heard of major general Smedley Butler? I would highly recommend his book to you.

@BryanLV I disagree. We needed to take out Bin Laden and company.

@UrsiMajor

Correction. You wanted to take out Bin Laden and company. Further, there is no proof this actually happened since his body was "allegedly" dumped at sea.

He posed no threat to America or Americans. He was hiding out and laying low. His body may or may not be dead, but his ideology lives on. His alleged death is of no benefit to anyone.

The fixation with Bin Laden is highly illogical.

@UrsiMajor The enemy in WW2 had conditions to be a real risk to your country, the current wars not. Actually terrorism kills less US citizens that the ones sent half world away to hunt for terrorists XD

@UrsiMajor You and your government think, but do you have the right to perform an illegal operation outside your borders killing innocents in the process?
If you have this right, then the terrorists that disagree with your lifestyle and your army have right to attack you in your soil also...

@Pedrohbds Is any war legal? I haven't researched what our allies thought of us taking out Bin Laden and staff. By "legal" I suppose other wars such as World War II were legal since we had the backing of our allies.

@Pedrohbds I like this article from Brookings.edu. I haven't researched the source it might be biased as hell. But this:

Leans center left. Shocker. [mediabiasfactcheck.com]

@UrsiMajor 1)you are not at war, it's just interventions.
2)the drone attacks don't have authorization of local governaments mostly, this is an aggressive movement.
3) War against a guy hiding in a cabin, that can't do anything to harm us soil...
They can only harm your citizens because the government helps them shipping.your youth half way across the globe...

If people are not capable of self governance, then how is there a group of people capable of governing billions of people?

Of course we are capable.

The truth is that governments, which are just groups of people, do not support and protect the masses of people. The people support and protect governments.

Its really not difficult to own these facts.

I'm really curious how you came up with "Photography is not a Crime." PNAC stands for Project for the New American Century. Here's a link: [en.wikipedia.org]
What if someone had told me, "People have a right to burn Jews in a crematorium." Should I use your methodology in that circumstance too?

@UrsiMajor

Thank you for the correction and link.

Ive never even heard of the one you mentioned.

@UrsiMajor the second part about the right to burn people.

That philosophy literally cannot exist. Under natural, and all other actual laws, no one has the right to harm another unless they are protecting their life, liberty or property.
