It's interesting when you disagree with someone or sit on opposite sides of the political aisle, that guy must have personal issues?
I actually think you're probably a good guy with no personal issues at all. You just happen to be a liberal and I don't agree with your points of view. No big deal.
As for Harry, he's a good guy too but he hasn't liked me for years here and that isn't a big deal either. I actually like his posts. Very insightful.
You posted a question on the forum. I gave my opinion to the question you posted. I also gave reason to support my opinion (which you seemed to not like).
You discarded the opinions and the logic behind them (you had no logical rebuttals by the way). I basically agreed with Harry that you were not only wrong but also an asshole.
I personally don't see this as a political issue at all........why someone would make this a political issue is ridiculous (other than one accused is running for Senate). I would have the exact same opinion if that person was the Democrat candidate. The people being accused are because of their power or influence over some other person. Or an adult over a minor.
In terms of my political views....first of all I thought Donald Trump was an idiot 30 years ago.....being president didnt change that. What makes it worse is seeing him on the news everyday: biggest narcissistic liar ever (I literally dont believe a word he says....and he could be telling the truth but history past history would make me think he is not telling the truth again). (He lies about everything....for example claiming to be a 3 handicap in golf...a 10 handicap is a good golfer...if you are a 10 say you are a 10....there is zero chance he is a 3 handicap in golf.......absolutely zero chance......on top of it in an honorable game....he is a known cheat). I am an avid golfer and I cant stand cheaters on the course.
I think the biggest problem the USA has long term is our mounting debt that no one on either political side seems willing to tackle ( I voted for Ross Perot because he was the last legitimate candidate that would address the issue). I am also financially fine and I live quite comfortably. I would be more than willing to pay additional taxes to accomplish two things: pay the debt down and I am also willing to pay more taxes to help those not as fortunate as myself when they need it. Idealisticly if someones main motive is money.....most likely they are on the wrong side of an issue morally. If those ideals make me a liberal....I guess that is what I am.
Very Well Said. Feels near 100% True, Accurate.
Reveals the inherent Flaw to Government, how those are seemingly Destined to Serve Masters other than The People, accept arrangements that are in fact so often the exact opposite of Good for The People and what those Elected Officials SHOULD DO.
If they were "moral". Which, of course, is the entire premise that Politicians present themselves upon: "I am Good & Moral."
Particularly interesting Statement because of a reason you might never expect and that opens a door to a debate that should be had
that will have to be had, by humanity, at some point.....Inevitable & of Massive Importance
cuz "Evolution" is affected by whatever "Truth" actually exists, in regards to this (these) question(s):
"Does Morality EVOLVE at all, can basic Moral Principles behave like a "Moving Target", over time?"
"What is "Morality" based upon? and what True Validity exists within a basing of Morality upon that thing?"
Obviously the 2nd question goes to honestly analyzing the Validity of what We base Our Morality Upon i.e. Ancient Religious Writings, a need to appear "moral" to others within a Society that is so filled with people merely pretending to be Good & Moral beings....Can We answer the question honestly: "What REALLY is the primary motivation for us to be Moral & whats Truly the very best (read: MOST INTELLIGENT) Foundation upon which to base our Morality Upon?"
Which goes to the other question, the First Question:
"Is True Morality an unchanging, unalterable Set of Beliefs & Actions that remain despite societal changes, considerations or can True Morality itself Evolve? Change over time as result of Societal situations?"
Fredrick Neitzche explored the matter, made it a somewhat Focus of his search for truth as have many other very well known Philosophers and Thinkers of Forever.
If a Society HAS this conversation though, and the conclusion reached is that True Morality does Evolve...
"Pandora's Box" potentially gets opened.
No Society has ever existed within which This Debate needs more desperately to be had than this one here: America. Europe needed to have this Debate about 6 Years ago, they did not....just went with Morality as this was Understood to be factoring in Zero Real World Considerations and as result....we could very well see certain countries within Europe evolve into Majority Muslim Countries.
Fulfilling, at least, Islam's Desire (and promise) to eventually Conquer Europe
and the Non-Believing Infidels.
USA does need to have an honest debate about what Morality is. Truly.
Your Post about $$$$ when thats one's PRIMARY GOAL equaling their actions will almost CERTAINLY prove to be the exact opposite of what is in the best interest of HUMANITY.....thats a Brilliant Take, on the matter of...
"Morality."
Our Elected Leaders are Pretenders, they're Prostitutes. To Money.
Honest Objectivity sees a canvas upon which, were We to LOOK for where potential candidates that present the MOST possibility to Change that, and get people in office that would truly FIGHT for their Principles & their PEOPLE (RATHER THAN BECOMING JUST ANOTHER WHORE OWNED BY BIG $$$$$ CONCERNS)
sees such candidates on The Democratic Side.
"Unfortunately" the platforms of many of these are:
1.) LBTGQ Issues
2.) National Suicide by Open Borders
and 3.) Re-Trying that Experiment of Islam being able to Co-Exist with Western (non-Islamic) culture....
4.) "Co-Existence" among ALL PEOPLES regardless of how many innocent lives that costs.
Illustrates WHY We do need to have a National Debate on exactly wtf the TRUTH of "Morality" IS
and what will be the price of being that.
we won't have that debate. may be Unanswerable Questions anyways. That Conversation had We had it though.....could have spared many Innocents from Suffering & premature totally unfair & undeserved Death.
Why don't I see similarly Impassioned YOUNG REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
to the so large amount of Passionate Young DEM Candidates?
Do these Young Hopeful REPUB Candidates, potential Flames of New Hope (Salvation of a Nation) exist and I just haven't noticed them yet?
The Question(s) posted above concerning the quandry of "Morality" do eventually get solved.
The "answer" comes via AI (Artificial Intelligence).
'Cuz EMOTION is then REMOVED from the equation.
Will "we" like The Answer? That AI delivers?
Will You & I even live to see that? Answer? Feels like No but is it Closer than We think it is?
Is it possible that AI eventually got to a place where it figured out how to Time Travel & That Answer AI arrived at saw it conclude that the best course of action was to GO BACK and Kill John F. Kennedy & other Key Figures throughout History?
Sylvester Stallone is accused of forcing a 16-year-old girl into a threesome with his bodyguard in 1986.
I think it's worse in Hollywood and the entertainment industry than anywhere else
