I told you what specifically I searched. Why are you telling me this?

They don't have to win. They just have to not lose. Like Vietnam.

Well... I don't feel qualified to discuss that but it seems to me that costs of labour do increase. But anyway... I'm more talking about his urging the workers to rise up... You have nothing to lose but your chains... Than dialectical materialism etc

I had a post disappear. I just mean that you can't feign innocence if you use words that normally will be taken as insults. So you can own that and not say.... Why should I not use this term? The reason you would use it would be to insult. If you want to do that then that's your option. The rules of social discourse haven't changed since the first insult shrieked by some chimp

Okay. Can you explain the Communist manifesto then? Because it reads as a directive, the working classes to rise up right?

Right but do you think that you're not accountable for insulting someone? Harassment? Hate speech? Words mean things.

Hey, I get it... you think that the Holocaust is overblown. Well, go to the patent council meeting and make your case. Morality is founded in politics, so there are likely more parents out there that want to ban remembrance day than want to deny the holocaust. Not saying that you're not "just asking questions"...

1. That's a Dodge. You're accountable for your actions. Everyone is. I don't admonish people for making fun of Trudeau or other public figures. I think that's a different thing than talking to someone directly. 2.3. ok

Do you have an answer to my question?

Right but ... the issue with videos is we don't know context. And you can stage them, not that I'm saying this happened. It's enough that anti-semitic stuff is being reported widely, though, for me to say something.

1. I generally don't want people to feel bad, but I also fall into insults sometimes admittedly. I DO however use words with purpose and consideration. If you want to cause people to be confused and possibly offended, ask a black person if he is niggardly with his opinions. 2. Not sure how that follows. It seems to me that 'both sidesism' is more like that, if that's what you mean. 3. Knowledge is a good thing, to my mind. Although who wouldn't want to be Adam/Eve or Adam/Steve I suppose... eating apples, looking at Eve's bazooms... chatting up the snakes.... How to weigh the value of knowledge objectively is an interesting question btw.

1. That's weird to ME because you're a non-atheist using the bible to justify policies that I have to live by. And I would rather you not post the bible, but if you insist I will occupy that domain and explain why you are wrong (in my opinion) 2. Right - but you are saying 'excessive' taxation is socialism which is akin to the devil. So at some point it becomes a sin ? That's rather arbitrary and I can't think of another sin that works that way... ie. you can do a LITTLE adultery murder stealing coveting blaspheming etc. 3. Please address why YOUR interpretation of levels of taxation that amount to sinfulness should be heeded ?

Hm ? You posted a question at the end and I responded to it. There's no reason to quote the stuff I don't care about.

Okay, well that explains it somewhat. Thank you.

1. Yes if you teach your own opinions rather than approved curriculum then you will get in trouble. That's irregardless of politics. You're not allowed to teach that communism is the best form of government for people either. Nor are you allowed to teach that Remembrance Day celebrates killers. 2. Did you also want him to state in class the Holocaust wasn't real? Because he wouldn't be allowed to do that either. In other words, your free speech is limited in a school. But your claim that there is absolutely no free speech is worthy of ridicule.

Then how do we know he said it? Because you said so? I need sources for such things. https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-798318

Indeed, what is the basis? Is it principle? Moral? Biological? These things are so culturally based that it's hard to have a balanced conversation. The Alberta transgender laws applaud parental rights, while taking the rights away from parents to start transitioning their child if everyone approves. As far as underage sex, I would say move to Kansas... Very Republican state... And make friends with parents of a 15-year-old. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_age_in_the_United_States#:~:text=The general marriage age (lacking,general marriage age is 21.

1. We're not afraid of words. We just don't want to make people feel bad. Same reason we don't say niggardly anymore. 2. A lot of people though have to make up stuff so that they can pretend to be both sides. I don't think both sides is a good way to be either. Culturally conservative in these times is the best 3. Intelligence doesn't change over time, knowledge does. And if you think you don't have enough knowledge to understand the issues , my response is that nobody does.

What other sins are defined by the degree to which they are committed? Which of the ten Commandments are you allowed to do a little bit? Again... These are interpretations that twist scriptures.

Taxation... is the foundation of socialism. So you are deep diving into subtle differences between tithing - which was encouraged and even mandated - and taxation, then progressive taxation, then socialism. If taxation is theft then mandatory tithing is... ? Again if you want to split hairs on this, then why do you presumably wear polyfibres or eat shrimp ?

Tithing was an obligation according in old testament traditions. For you to associate that with Satanism is an incorrect interpretation. I don't know you, but respectfully this seems like changing scripture to suit one's own preferences. That has also been done with dietary rules, lending of money, keeping the sabbath holy, wearing unclean garments, divorce etc. etc. etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tithes_in_Judaism#cite_note-4 If you want to all of a sudden bring a strict interpretation to one part of scripture and not another, it makes people ask "why" ?

I googled "Block Jewish students" and only came back with Twitter accounts alleging this. That said, there are plenty of reputable sources that are documenting anti Semitic incidents and indeed even in Canada, they protest in Jewish neighbourhoods. I don't think that the public is charged with condemning terrorists but we are charged with holding our fellow citizens to account for such racist behaviour.

The socialism is equally to theft part is your own interpretation. I would say taxation is closer to tithing, which Jesus supported.

I remember that quote. It's not very strong in terms of argument though. Lyme was a psycho...

Wow... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7181096
