That's true, at least. None of Crystal's 'discussions' are ever about facts.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.
MM: First of all, the Bible is a fixed document.
MM on covid-19: We're talking about an illness with a better than 99.9% rate of survival.
seer: I believe that so called 'compassion' [for starving Palestinian kids] maybe a cover for anti Semitism, ...

OK - I know I shouldn't...but that was just SO spot on...The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

My Response To The Coronavrius
byDonald TrumpJoe Biden
Seems like every time Joe Biden says, "Here's what I would have done if I was president," it turns out to be something that President Trump has either already done or proposed.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Meanwhile, Biden did indeed err about U.S. attempts to send aid to China in January. He's pretty well known for his verbal gaffs and off-the-cuff remarks. There is no question, if we see him replacing Trump in January, that the verbal skills of the occupant of the White House will not have improved by much.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostSo what do you make of Emanuel's pushback against the "compression of morbidity", which he devotes a paragraph to? He may state that he opposes actively ending one's life early, but that doesn't rule out actively denying healthcare to the elderly.
I think we would be a better society without alcohol. That doesn't mean I am advocating for the state to step in and ban alcohol.
And I did not find anything in that oped that even suggested ending healthcare for the elderly. If I missed it, you'll need to point it out.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
