President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
this is the attitude of a cancer. i’m not employing a metaphor.
a cancer wants to grow its own degraded expression at the expense of the organism.
don’t hide behind democracy we all know that ruse
Cancer doesn't have an 'attitude'.
Cancer doesn't 'want' to do anything.
You literally are employing a metaphor.
So, please don't hide behind metaphors; we all know that ruse.
These are pretty simple takes from a Christian with a degree in philosophy.
does he have a degree in christian philosophy? because that crap is like how many angels can twerk on a fruit loop. it doesn’t help you think.
Except in your New World Order (TM Pending) literally everyone is a slave.
I'll take my chances with democracy solving problems over a Draconian State.
If you consider it very carefully .... we're all slaves to a supportive environment.
No water .... we die.
Underwater we die.
No oxygen, we die.
No food ... we die.
Too much toxin ... we die.
Nature is draconian.
For what it's worth .... my proposed regime is largely democratic. It's just that the definition of criminal is expanded to high polluting behavior. The liberty to pollute heavily is withdrawn.
I grasp that my demeanor is such that I'm not going to get a bunch of users here to take my side ......
But I think that geezerchess is doing a wonderful job of being the foil which demonstrates that point is totally valid.
He is the poster child for clinging to the freedom to continue polluting as much as he likes.
Nearly everyone with a working brain understands that this freedom is a death sentence. This is effectively checkmate for both our species and the logic of this argument.
does he have a degree in christian philosophy? because that crap is like how many angels can twerk on a fruit loop. it doesn’t help you reason.
I believe he studied classical philosophy. I think he became a Christian years later.
Before geezey calls me a liar because he was actually listening to Bible scripture in the womb and saving hapless souls at 2-years-old, this is just my recollection and I could be mistaken.

More Trump grift.
A deal with Kazahkstan which gives a company his sons have invested in the right to mine Kazakh tungsten.

I'm still not sure how this democracy would work. In a democracy, laws can be changed depending on popular sentiment. For better or worse, I don't think there is enough popular support for the laws that you are proposing to allow them to be passed by a democratically elected government.
Largely democratic is another way of saying not democratic.
Which is where democracy always ends up because it’s idiotic.
It’s always a republic structure or a bank of representatives or an electoral college.
There is no democracy anywhere. It is a thin mask for the real power structures.
The biggest “democratic” action i can think of recently is Brexit. Do we think that was really the will of the people?

I guess this is America First*
The arrangement is hardly an outlier. One or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies that are actively working with the federal government on critical mining deals, including the Kazakhstan project, according to federal filings examined by The New York Times.
All 14 of these companies have either benefited directly from offers of financial assistance from the Trump administration, or have pending permit applications before the Commerce Department, which Mr. Lutnick oversees, The Times found. The total amount of federal funding that the Trump administration has provided or is considering providing to the companies exceeds $8.9 billion, according to public statements by the companies and federal government.
*if named Trump or Lutnick

Is we go for direct democracy we could pass all sorts of crazy things like banning GMO food or vaccines.
I can tell you that in Ohio whenever we have any kind of popular referendum what happens is the corrupt legislature comes along a couple months later and legislates whatever happened straight into the bin.

I earned a B.A. in Philosophy from California State University @ Fullerton (1982).
I taught Intro to Logic and Intro to Philosophy part-time at two community colleges in the 1980's.

Please cash out "largely democratic."
If our duly-elected legislators vote for your proposals and they withstand court challenges, then it's all fine and dandy like cotton candy.

Now you're just lying, bro. I've expressed my view many times that I favor anti-pollution regulations.

Your recollection is correct.

How would you vote Rococo in an election which was based upon a single variable ?
Unlimited polluted vs regulation of pollution ?
If we are constrained by a popular majority which does not have the intelligence to understand that pollution must be regulated ...... then the case for human extinction is self-evident.

I'd guess that about 95% of folks support Team Regulation. Do you know anyone who favors 'unlimited pollution?'
Sweet.
What's up? You just said everything I said was correct. If so, as an esteemed philosopher and Christian, how can you not ponder the possibility of desire in all living organisms?
