  2. I was stumped when you posted it. Then a checked the Hinduism the have many Gods but seem to worship the creating God Brahma less than the destroying God Shiva. It's seems like a reversal of roles. Me asking you for clarity.
  3. Well he has a lot of fights on his hands. So so you think March was turning point?
  4. @Cynique can you tell me why Quakers aren't a non theistic religion?

  6. I think I inferred the complexity by agreeing with your point, that also weakens my argument. Or do you see that differently . @Troy. In your opinion what are the primary questions that Religion Philosophy and Science seek to answer?
  7. If you search the following phrase , "The beginning of the end for Donald Trump ." A little less than half the results are for March.
  8. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/03/21/politics/donald-trump-do-not-congratulate/ I'll ask the group on April 1, 2018. If they are still confident Donald Trump will finish his term. @Troy @Cynique @Pioneer1 this is a specific prediction and a date.
  9. Philosophy asks why are we here. Religion asks what is the purpose of life. Science asks how things work. So the nature of their queries show the subsequent alignment . Which is interesting because I agree with yet it weakens my argument re the similarities between science and religion. Although I can borrow @Mel Hopkins argument that what the participants do doesn't represent or perhaps reflect the organisation.
  10. I had responded . My answer proceeded K2 asking the second time. It was the post after Troy asked if I had seen it. So apparently there's a barrier to clear and concise communication with @Troy and Kale Xander.
  11. It seems the talking bit is easier for some.
  12. I was stating he had a good point in a poetic way. What's the difference between pressing the like button and saying you like a point. How is saying a point is strong being biased. When have I ever agreed with any position wholly. Liking all view points is the exact opposite of being neutral. or vice versa. Although being diplomatic can be seen as neutrality I think Troy is opinionated and is willing to change his opinion. Re any discussion Climate change or otherwise. I like to bring another dimension into the discussion. In addition to defining terms so there is less confusion. Which hasn't really worked. It did once with Troy.
  13. I have said it elsewhere he is a brilliant marketer. He is licensing his name . He most likely has foreign debt some of which is comes from corrupt sources . Robert Mueller and his team will follow the money trail. If he fires Mueller it will be a repeat of Watergate
  14. I was being poetic and using an archaic definition for word play. If you say I should use pungent it infers that you don't know that poignant is etymologically linked and that they share a meaning . Re Pioneer you have stated your agreement and at times disagreement with post. Others have as well . I think you dislike that I am less combative with Troy and in general . Troy is a friend and Pioneer is neither enemy nor ally.. I perceive myself as independent . However I don't think that is true for you. You also become more emotional and less logical although that's true of me as well .
  15. No I have respect for Pioneer because he was the realest about his approach. While you vibe more with K2. If cats an kittens are real then they have a special place with me. Also for me the arrogance shouldn't outshine the brilliance nor the bullsnit. Not certain what I am arbritrating in your eyes. Since I am not interested in a leadership role anywhere. I encourage everyone including my children to think for themselves. Western Science vs Eastern Knowledge Some how Western Knowledge vs Eastern Science doesn't quite feel right. Eastern Wisdom feels better to me. Or maybe you just like conflict because it is more entertaining
  16. Poignant is more poetic than cogent if you think about. So were you aware that they have the same root . I am not certain from your posts if you at aware of their linkage. So my usage is archaic but makes for better word play. Did you like the logos word play. I put that in for you especially. Yes but there is no weird feeling between me an Troy. I have a high regard for him, we have eaten in each others home. And if I can be of assistance to Troy I would do so without hesitation. Even though we disagree he is more altruistic than myself.
  17. If you look at my agreement, it is on a point. And it usually about definitions or terms. I won't deny your perception. However it might be informative to hear what Troy and Pioneer think. You may be projecting your general disagreement with Pioneer on to me. I take it you weren't aware of the other meaning for poignant. Interestingly I was crafting my second response when you were assuming I had used the wrong word. The odd things was I had copied both definitions but only the archaic one came up. Is this is similar to what happens to you? perhaps poignant and pungent are etymologically related. Origin Late Middle English: from Old French, literally ‘pricking’, present participle of poindre, from Latin pungere ‘to prick’. Pronunciation poignant Origin Late 16th century (in the sense ‘very painful or distressing’): from Latin pungent- ‘pricking’, from the verb pungere. Pronunciation pungent
  18. Yes I agree that it is a chimera. It is aready Legendary and I think it will do good works. http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/celebrities/black-panther-disney-donation-stem-philadelphia-20180227.html So the STEM center is going to be in Oakland Killmongers home @zaji @Troy@Cynique @Pioneer1@Mel Hopkins https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2017/09/how-get-out-inspired-a-new-university-course-on-racism-and-horror/
  19. Gravity is like the reverse of wind. The movement of air creates wind. The movement of a solid creates gravity
