I could not disagree more. TyrReborn Send a noteboard - 03/09/2023 09:13:31 PM


Is dealing with fantasy and not actual reality. It is a semblance, a leading intuition of how the world works.

Really?!

There's nothing "rotting" about people dying in the street? There's nothing "beautiful" about a young family, enjoying each other? There's nothing "good" about a child being adopted? And nothing "bad" about a child starving to death?



It is trying to get a promise that is not a real promise, but to foreclose what one sees as disaster by arguing with one’s own mirror.

Your pardon, but the decay in the world is not some mere image in a mirror. The decay happening in the world is real, and present, and overpowering. How can you look at the horrible things in this world and say, nay, these are mere phantasms in the mist?


A mirror of images and symbols one already knows the meaning too, and not the meaning of symbols and images beyond one’s reach.

If this is all there is, then nothing is beyond our reach. IF this is not all there is, then those beyond our reach are also beyond our ken.

I am not so arrogant as to think my ken is all there is.


Enjoy OMELAS

More true than you know. Everything good is because One died for us. Everything terrible is because we decided we knew better.

I'm curious as to your point in posting this. damookster - 04/08/2023 03:17:48 AM 1051 Views
The point is that these uneducated dumbass race-baiters dare to lecture us TyrReborn - 04/08/2023 05:33:36 PM 847 Views

You're entitled to your optimistic view TyrReborn - 05/08/2023 04:24:33 PM 882 Views
You only think your view is realistic because you haven't studied enough history. The Shrike - 06/08/2023 04:04:34 PM 917 Views
You're entitled to your optimistic view. *NM* TyrReborn - 06/08/2023 09:18:39 PM 410 Views
Not only is this statistically incorrect, it's historically incorrect. Ghavrel - 08/08/2023 11:35:42 PM 987 Views
Sigh, I understand that it's hard to grasp these days, with our medical miracles, TyrReborn - 14/08/2023 05:52:01 PM 893 Views
Disease is counted as part of wartime casualties. Ghavrel - 14/08/2023 08:17:53 PM 857 Views
And Covid killed 1000000 Americans lol TyrReborn - 14/08/2023 09:49:02 PM 978 Views
You didn't cherry pick anything. You just decided that the consensus of experts is incorrect. Ghavrel - 14/08/2023 11:37:05 PM 1007 Views
Died of =/= died from, and died during =/= killed TyrReborn - 17/08/2023 04:58:08 PM 987 Views
I don't think so Tom - 07/08/2023 01:54:05 PM 913 Views
These facts would cause you to be denounced as a "putinite fascist"... TyrReborn - 07/08/2023 05:45:05 PM 849 Views
Well, of course it's going to pass Tom - 07/08/2023 06:55:12 PM 1003 Views
Tom, you are being far too reasonable. That doesn’t fly in 2023! *NM* damookster - 08/08/2023 12:22:49 AM 423 Views
He is, which is why, I think, he is wrong. *NM* TyrReborn - 08/08/2023 10:18:32 PM 431 Views
I just can't buy that the political and academic class will give up their grip so easily. TyrReborn - 08/08/2023 05:49:58 PM 841 Views
Academics have been pro Marxism for over 100 years. It's nothing new. *NM* damookster - 08/08/2023 05:59:55 PM 432 Views
Maybe. But they've never been this spiteful or spoiled before. TyrReborn - 09/08/2023 01:29:30 PM 819 Views
No, they only recruited students to spy for the Soviets *NM* damookster - 14/08/2023 06:18:58 PM 411 Views
Yes. They do that now, too. Except it's the Chinese. *NM* TyrReborn - 14/08/2023 09:51:37 PM 411 Views
Do you have sources for that 'far more conservative and far more religious' claim? Legolas - 09/08/2023 07:35:50 PM 905 Views

I side with Greg and Tom in this discussion. damookster - 08/08/2023 05:57:54 PM 880 Views
I don't suppose linking medical articles is going to help too much here, but... Ghavrel - 08/08/2023 11:28:05 PM 902 Views
Elizabeth, you know I have a non binary grandchild. damookster - 09/08/2023 01:22:32 AM 997 Views
Yeah, I know, I just think that the statistics are dangerous. Ghavrel - 09/08/2023 04:36:40 AM 834 Views
Respectfully, do you truly believe this? TyrReborn - 09/08/2023 05:42:31 PM 857 Views
I'll bite... Legolas - 09/08/2023 06:39:46 PM 854 Views
Thanks. <3 *NM* Ghavrel - 09/08/2023 08:27:13 PM 415 Views

Yes, that's true. Legolas - 11/08/2023 06:11:49 PM 894 Views
Re: Yes, that's true. AgentApple - 12/08/2023 04:25:28 PM 831 Views
The issue itself isn't necessarily - the way it's being used, however, is. Legolas - 14/08/2023 05:44:35 PM 857 Views
This is not bait, I am legitimately trying to understand. And if I understand correctly... TyrReborn - 11/08/2023 05:17:02 PM 1098 Views
As I said, it wasn't intended as perfect analogy - it's about how much say should children have. Legolas - 11/08/2023 06:44:33 PM 877 Views
No, seriously, only the last one was intended as parody. And I'd like an explanation. TyrReborn - 14/08/2023 05:43:37 PM 844 Views
There aren't a lot of people committing suicide over their teeth coming in. Ghavrel - 14/08/2023 08:21:29 PM 839 Views
Indeed. TyrReborn - 14/08/2023 09:50:53 PM 810 Views
You aren't mentally ill because of your views. You're just an asshole. Ghavrel - 14/08/2023 11:35:13 PM 852 Views
Re: No, seriously, only the last one was intended as parody. And I'd like an explanation. Legolas - 15/08/2023 04:14:57 PM 905 Views
See, you're willing to discuss, instead of insult. Others on this board might take note. TyrReborn - 17/08/2023 05:18:39 PM 866 Views
Yeah, well, I have the luxury of an outsider's position... Legolas - 23/08/2023 11:47:24 PM 889 Views

There's some evidence that hormonal changes in utero are related to transgenderism. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2023 11:26:21 PM 422 Views
Naturally occurring or iatrogenic? *NM* Vodalus - 26/08/2023 11:37:06 PM 423 Views
The studies are about naturally occuring variance, but that doesn't rule out other causes. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/08/2023 12:03:16 AM 509 Views
Not really "fun" so much as "a sad reality of biology", but yes. TyrReborn - 27/08/2023 09:42:14 PM 856 Views
Imagine if you had the same attitude towards trans people. Ghavrel - 28/08/2023 12:02:34 AM 825 Views
I may be no endocrinologist, but I at least understand simple biology. XY =/= XX =/= XXY TyrReborn - 28/08/2023 05:40:14 PM 795 Views
One can be an adult trans person and not support mutilation of children. *NM* damookster - 28/08/2023 07:49:32 PM 410 Views
Fair enough. I have some measure of respect for "Caitlyn" Jenner. You do you homie. *NM* TyrReborn - 29/08/2023 04:54:13 AM 398 Views
Simple is definitely true. Shame you never learned biology past what you were taught in high school. Ghavrel - 28/08/2023 11:21:38 PM 815 Views
Right, cause we're "butterflies" TyrReborn - 29/08/2023 04:57:20 AM 827 Views
I go to mass more than you. *NM* Ghavrel - 29/08/2023 09:58:09 AM 414 Views
Wow, really? And you still mutilated your body and told God that He was wrong about you? TyrReborn - 31/08/2023 05:44:32 PM 952 Views

At least my beliefs can't be disproven by a $40 test at Wal-Mart. TyrReborn - 02/09/2023 03:40:43 PM 820 Views
It's ok. Many of us are quite sad for you too. The Shrike - 29/08/2023 11:10:32 AM 855 Views
I couldn't care less what unbelievers think. You'll meet the Truth, one day. TyrReborn - 31/08/2023 05:45:31 PM 804 Views
No such thing as damnation, but thanks. The Shrike - 31/08/2023 06:55:23 PM 839 Views
Then nothing more needs to be said. See who support your lies, Ghav? They literally deny Love. *NM* TyrReborn - 31/08/2023 07:54:23 PM 506 Views
He understands love a lot better than you do. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/09/2023 04:46:14 AM 411 Views
Hah! I knew you didn't worship God. Thanks for admitting it. *NM* TyrReborn - 02/09/2023 03:38:43 PM 506 Views
You're simply acting deranged at this point. Ghavrel - 03/09/2023 01:13:20 AM 985 Views
I hope you don't call yourselves Christian. TyrReborn - 03/09/2023 04:11:06 AM 781 Views

Bro, I'm not worried about your immortal soul. damookster - 03/09/2023 11:35:41 PM 851 Views
I get that. But Ghav, supposedly, is. TyrReborn - 04/09/2023 12:09:55 AM 845 Views
You’ve expressed some pretty odious and ugly sentiments. Vodalus - 03/09/2023 10:07:51 PM 825 Views
