The implication of question 51:50 most certainly would not involve only one religion, but encompass all of them if religion is fundamental.

[@1p6t1gms]

If not, it would seem then to say, we are better than that...

Where I come from the curriculum of orientation starts off with the abc's, 123's. With another focus towards your faith if it was not already included at the school and then back to public school to pledge allegiance to the flag under God, with civics included later on after the pump was already primed... civics teaching almost at the age considered okay to fight in wars, but not old enough to drink alcohol.

35:00 Shermer doesn't know anything about the rittemhouse case. What a clown.

[@VaughanMcCue]

Perhaps you want your narrative to be the focus, and if you don't get it your way, you stamp your feet. I think it should be you in the clown outfit for making a cryptic remark. The discussion is not about you. See you in on the high-wire, Bozo.

You seem to accept the Marxist dogma unquestioningly that colonialism was bad, all bad. European governments, like all others in history, took lands by force when they could and when it suited their interests. European nations at the height of colonialism were concerned to lock up strategic locations and natural resourcs for their industries before their competitors or enemies did. European colonial governments tended to suppress personal and group violence, witch hunts, cannibalism, and human scrifice. They also built physical, educational, and yes legal infrastructure. I contend Eropean law was usually more just than native law. I spoke to an immigrant cab driver in Washington, D. C. several years ago. He was a native of a west African coastal Brisih colony that achieved independence shorly before he left. I asked him under wich government life was better. His reply was startlingly swift and decisive. You should be able to guess.

"Marxist dogma" A lot of schools of tough consider colonialism all bad. Including many classical liberal ones. We have an alternative to colonialism, it is called commerce.

And Shermer wrote another dumb article about trans in female sports. But would he talk with someone like Philip W. Cook or Donald Dutton? No. I was right in stop caring about him...

[@uchicha666]

Huh

[@aaronaragon7838]

He doesn't care about you, too, I suspect.

She is not an honest person. You can see in her answers. She knows something while saying something else.
