  1. Do people truly have free will?

    They were treated the same way by british, french & other nations. Who acted as middlemen. But according to you only america is guilty. France and britain are "innocent".
  2. Do people truly have free will?

    When narrators say "Genghis Khan was a ruthless warlord". They forget leaders of Genghis Khan's era were ALL ruthless warlords. There were no peaceful pacificsts in that world who survived for very long. Its pointless to look at status quo, historical consensus trends as if they were unique and individualized smoking guns.
  3. Do people truly have free will?

    Did you know that. Every nation on earth practiced slavery during some eras of history? How can you single out a nation for practicing slavery when all of them did. Your perspective is critically flawed from day 1.
  4. Stranger things

    Something strange: I dug a breadfruit tree out of the ground and replanted it. "Stimulate the body, to stimulate the mind."
  5. Do people truly have free will?

    Do muslims want to live in a country founded upon islam ideology that observes sharia banking laws. Or do they want to live in the united states a country founded on christian ideology and principles. Do atheists want to live in norway, denmark or a nation founded on atheist ideology. Or do they want to live in the USA, founded on christianity. Forget about america's economy and military. A case could be made for the USA being the fairest and most moral nation on earth. Everyone wanting to live here, says so. Tell me, kind sir. What is "stupid" or "trolling" about that.
  6. Do people truly have free will?

    The united states is 249 years old. Most of its history being that of a moral nation, it has achieved longevity and long life. By contrast nations like nazi germany which commit atrocities usually have shortened lifespans nazi germany lasting only 12 years. The USSR which committed atrocities lasted 69 years. Whether people or nations, committing atrocities does typically shorten life.
  7. Do people truly have free will?

    Just to be clear. There is no "God allowed people to be treated unfairly, robbed & cheated". There is only "Those who commit such acts, will reap what they have sown, eventually". Its only a question of when.
  8. Stranger things

    Not to name names but in the last 5 years. There have been MIT and Princeton grads who made their diplomas look like toys they found in a mcdonalds happy meal.
  9. Very unpopular opinions

    Opening the third eye. Is overrated.
  10. Eliminating desire

    Its not about beauty or desire. Rather standards. Having witnessed enough smart and talented people piss away their own best assets. Standards and expectations for fellow sheeple decline significantly.
  11. Japan anime crossovers

    More anime crossover. Using secret (see: fictional) pressure points.

    Infant becomes world's first patient to undergo personalized gene-editing treatment Philadelphia — Soon after KJ Muldoon was born in the summer of 2024, he was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder that is fatal for about half the infants who are born with it. Until now, the only effective long-term treatment for the rare metabolic disease known as severe Carbamoyl Phosphate Synthetase 1 deficiency, or CPS1, had been a liver transplant. Instead, doctors at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia told KJ's family they could try something never done before. They would use a technology known as CRISPR, a personalized gene-editing therapy, to find the one uniquely mutated gene out of 20,000 in his little body, and fix it. KJ subsequently received three infusions of the experimental therapy to his liver earlier this year under treatment by a medical team at the hospital and Penn Medicine. He became the first known patient in the world to be treated using CRISPR personalized just for him, according to a news release from Penn Medicine. His case was published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/infant-worlds-first-patient-personalized-gene-editing-treatment-crispr-liver-disorder/

    I used to earn $1,000 to $3,000 per week. With my earning potential set to rise over time. I was cheated out of what was mine. Now I will reinvent myself. What are any of you doing with your own life that makes you think its your role to look down on anyone?
  14. Do people truly have free will?

    Over the last 20 years. The only demographic waging war against the existence of free will. Are atheist. The only demographic who would say free will doesn't exist. Are people like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Bill Nye, etc. There's nothing sneaky or deceptive about it. Quick search results: 2009: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/experiments-in-philosophy/200901/can-atheist-believe-in-free-will 2019: https://mindmatters.ai/2019/08/why-do-atheists-still-claim-free-will-cant-exist/ 2019: Atheism correlating strongly with denial of free will is old news.
  15. Do people truly have free will?

    A good test of free will. "What's the smartest choice made since COVID in 2020." Those who can't think of a single smart choice in the last 5 years. Got problems.
  16. Do people truly have free will?

    If you ever change your mind I got you covered.
  17. Do people truly have free will?

    I think the practice of sacrificing children and people to deities. Was born out of lacking sufficient food to feed everyone. Which is also the origins story of cow worship. Cow manure allowed for agriculture, allowing for elevated food production to feed everyone. In that sense cows saved man from having to sacrifice their own people. There are people who always seem to make the most low IQ choices they can get their hands on. Its hard to label low IQ choices as instinct. Instinct is generally behavioral patterns that elevate an organisms chances of survival. Wheras low IQ choices are better classified as self destructive if not indirectly suicidal tendencies. There are some working night and day. Working hard. To make life harder for themselves and the people around them. Why? Because they hate God. They hate this world God created and everyone and everything in it. They want to destroy it all, including themselves. How should that be classified?
  18. Do people truly have free will?

    Oh, really? Can I say that you're officially my hater? So I can tell people "I've made it. I'm somebody". I'm so important I have haters.
  19. Do people truly have free will?

    When a person is attacked by a wild animal. They often do not blame the animal for the attack: The animal lacks free will & cannot distinguish between good or evil. It is merely following its instinct. The existence of free will is fundamental ideology of christianity: Good and evil can only exist under conditions where free will exists.
  20. Do people truly have free will?

    I think you should spend more time with people outside daobums. You're too much in your own echo chamber.
  21. "Indian Sunset"

    A band called Rage Against the Machine covered that era of history with a song called Freedom. Yeh. I always thought about reading Bury my Heart but like you said thought it would be nothing but native americans being screwed from beginning to end. And so avoided it. Think I will read it at some point though.
  22. Do people truly have free will?

    A person with free will can be punished for their choices with hell. A person lacking free will could not be punished with hell.

    Surprised there isn't more of a DIY anti venom movement. Anti venom isn't that hard to make: Was 1st made with early 1900s era tech.
