This Time on Philosophy

This is NOT a thread about religion. No affirming Jesus as divine-ergo-correct, we're just comparing philosophies. If you want to argue the miracles are somehow parabolic--ie, that the Bread/Loaves one demonstrates a tenant of his philosophy-fair game, but no arguing on whether or not he "did it." So let's play the Jeffersonian game and just compare arguably the West's two most important philosophic influences--Socrates or Jesus, who has the better life view?

Human Rights Watch believes White south africans being murdered should be ignored.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_farm_attacks

Human Rights Watch, a group which respects its own activist credentials, believes that anyone who cares about White Africans (caucasian people who are native to Africa) being raped and murdered is racist.

9/11

so... for those official theorists i think i can still give you more on 9/11 because this one obviously did have high ranking american official involvement and because it was so significant to the world. and it shows how coverups are possible that involve academia, government and the media working on concert.

John McCain exposes Russia today. How timely.
"(Putin) is not enhancing Russia's global reputation. He is destroying it. He has made her a friend to tyrants and an enemy to the oppressed, and untrusted by nations that seek to build a safer, more peaceful and prosperous world," wrote the senior senator from Arizona, who is also a leading Republican voice on military affairs.President Putin and his associates ... don't respect your dignity or accept your authority over them. They punish dissent and imprison opponents. They rig your elections. They control your media, McCain wrote. McCain also made reference to dead whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky, who died in pre-trial detention after accusing officials of a $230-million fraud and suggested his support for Pussy Riot, a protest punk band, two members of which are currently behind bars for a protest against Putin in a Moscow cathedral.
Russian apologists like Putin and Tolstoy have an unique and singular definition of the idea of "things are getting better in Russia" that certainly isn't shared with people possessing common sense and intellectual integrity.

You continue to attribute quotes to me which I have not said. John McCain speaks for himself, he does not speak for the world. Russia has many friends in Europe - notably Italy, Germany, Austria, Greece, and Finland. To claim that these nations do not seek to build a safer, more peaceful and prosperous world requires some explanation.

Now, you simultaneously claim that Russians are "stupid" because they elected Putin, but also cite McCain approvingly when he, without substantiation, claims Russian elections were rigged. That's an odd juxtaposition.

Russians are stupid for electing V. Putin. Russia's elections are rigged as well. Russians are stupid for electing Putin in rigged elections just like Syrians are stupid for Assad in power etc. etc. etc. The populace of a country is to blame for its government, and the Russian people are stupid for putting up with it. They overthrew communism and then lost their minds again. Freedom is simply something Russian people have no idea how to handle. Pathetic really. A herd mentality.

After Obama

I've recently criticized Barack Obama rather severely. He deserved every letter of it. The alternative? I've said it before and I'll say it again: Jon Huntsman Jr. That's the guy I really hope (for the US at least) that he'll succeed this absolute clown of a President Obama.
