I only wanted to plant enough for anyone interested enough for themselves to further look into. — raza

You should have done so before posting the link.

There is a lot of evidence for the genuinly interested. — raza

You should have posted the other links as well then so the posters could read about the information behind your thoughts. Not many people have the time or the interest to go search for the information.

I find it disingenuous when people pose as interested. — raza

And just what are you referring to with this?

I’m aware the US military conduct testing there. Any UFO is likely to be a result of military tests whether such things as flying objects are the military’s tests of their own actual secretly developed craft or secretly developed holograms. Holigraphic technology is more advanced than you may realize which can be utilised to deceive.

The military complex, just as it is with espionage agents, do play games with citizens involving the creation of enemies that don’t actually exist in real life. ‘Security’ is probably the biggest business there is. The ‘Security business’ doesn’t even have to convince to sell. They just take through taxes. — raza

Do some reading.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roswell_UFO_incident

None of the technology you talk about was even dreamed about back them.

Not if the technology is kept secret for use in nefarious operations.

That missing plane made Jacob Rothschlid over 16 billion dollars. Yep, the Rothschild group.

Are you aware of the military airport of Diego Garcia? Residents of The Maldives witnessed that plane near that base. — raza

Unless you can provide sum sort of REASONABLE source for this, and the rest of it, I call BS.

Are you aware of the military airport of Diego Garcia? Residents of The Maldives witnessed that plane near that base. — raza

Are you aware of Roswell, the residents witnessed a UFO near there.

One can't pause the speaker to finish thinking. — Waya

With so many phones in class rooms, why don't students record the teacher so that they can study at home? they could pause and even replay then.

Oh, you with those sunglasses. Haha! — Posty McPostface

Cus I is coool, don u know.

Its like the Squares from Crybaby were given an entire district to flourish and reproduce in. — Akanthinos

Yeah, but they were Canadian English, not English English. Living near the docks in Manchester and having a seafaring father made my vocabulary a bit better than the other kids, but only a little bit.
I remember in 5th grade a teacher being overhead talking about the fucking headmaster being an idiot. We told him that he should not fucking well use that word in front of the fucking kids. He went scarlet and we got away with swearing in front him, for the rest of the year.
We did abuse the situation though. Nudge, nudge, wink.

I'm probably right about this too... — Posty McPostface

Agreed. :cool:

And before you ask, my logic says that rationing is the same as banning.

And I am always right.

I think that's a deal? — Posty McPostface

So now that we have the problem of cakes being banned solved, we can have cake to celebrate out deal. And I want chocolate fudge ice cream on top of mine. :up:

I propose that the glass being half full or half empty depends on the direction it is headed. Like immigrate vs emigrate. — ProbablyTrue

I think that it would be half full after being filled to that level, and half empty after being emptied to that level. So the direction of flow might have something to do with the problem.

More fake news for you. — unenlightened

The first one might not be false, there are plenty of petty politicians fighting for some cause or other just to get their name in the papers so that people will recognize them.

The second one I have no idea about.

I noticed, if I recollect correctly, that even since the old PF, you've been against cakes and pancakes, of all!, being inherently good. — Posty McPostface

Eat some cake, your memory is failing you. Nope, I have nothing at all against cupcakes, big cakes, cheese cakes, ice cream cakes, nor pancakes. I love all of them. :love:

I do have something against people that say things are inherently good though, because that implies that somethings might be inherently bad.

But you are, at least, a likable person so I ask again. Why inherent?

Why not just bloody marvelous?

I just happen to speculate the otherwise. No biggie. — raza

If this equipment had been installed in every aircraft, don't you think we would have heard about some problem it caused or failed to solve?
Counting that they said it would take a few years to get it into all of the aircraft it would still be a few years ago that they become able to remotely control the planes. It seems sort of strange that the people that pushed to spend all of this money are not rushing to validate their wonderful ideas at every opportunity.
Like wise the ones that opposed the installation would be screaming about the smallest of problems caused by them.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3013858/Why-t-airlines-seize-control-doomed-jets-ground-technology-exists-pilots-companies-refuse-use-it.html

Hence it is inherently good. :blush: — Posty McPostface

A lot of people think that heroin is better than chocolate, thus it is very inherently good.

What are the properties of cake that makes it inherently good? As opposed to "everyone likes it"

That reminds of going to live in Montreal, aged 12. On of the kids at school started to tell a joke and the others told him not to waste his time because I would not understand French jokes told in English. The kid replied that "fucking is fucking in any language". I thought that was funnier than the actual joke. Some of the kids even thought that the English did not know words like fuck.

Un-hackable is not possible. If someone can create a system where remote control can happen from anywhere on the planet someone will find a way to take over control soon enough.
I think the authorities realized this and decided not to install them.

What's to prove, just take a bite of some pancakes or a cheesecake! — Posty McPostface

Yes, good. Maybe even great. Who would want to miss out on a big slice of chocolate cake with fudge filling? I can't imagine anyone turning it down.

Well I agree to disagree with you — Posty McPostface

I can agree to that.

I insist that cakes and particularly pancakes are inherently good. — Posty McPostface

OK, so prove it.

While the journey to the top floor of the building is hard, you have a better view than from the basement.

But pancakes are inherently good and safer on the wasteline and teeth no? — Posty McPostface

No and NO.

Essentially what you said was that the ingredients of cake can be bad, but not cake itself. And you need to brush your teeth. :joke: — Waya

No, the cake is definitely good, that is why it is a bad idea to ration it. But it is not inherently good, just good.
Eerrrrr, why would anyone want to brush their teeth? :gasp:

How can anyone hate cake??? — Posty McPostface

No one hates cakes. But loving them does not make them inherently good.

Now leave the bloody things alone and let us get on this rotting our teeth and growing our waistlines and butts

My logic is flawless. — Posty McPostface

Cake is fattening, tooth rotting and made from flour that is contaminate with all sorts of waste, therefore it is not inherently good. Thus it should not be rationed.

Cake must be rationed. — Posty McPostface

Bollocks. You have no authority to do that. :rage:

What was the guy holding the chair going to do with it-- Yell "Get back in your cage!"? — Bitter Crank

:lol: No idea. Maybe his first instinct was to make sure he did not get hit as well.

I noticed that nobody rushed to the aid and comfort of the allegedly abused woman. Did she have it coming?perhaps that is why none of the women rushed over to commiserate with her. — Bitter Crank

I noticed that as well, but I have no idea how people treat each other in the street in Paris. You see videos all the time of people being beaten up, but no one goes to their aid. Might be that they are too busy filming, or that they do not want to get involved with someone they do not know.
If you look at the beginning of the clip, it appears that they crossed paths randomly, each coming from the opposite direction. They did not appear to know each other and she did not make any attempt to avoid walking past him which she would have done if she had known him and did not want to speak to him.

We didn't hear what the guy told the citoyens concernés de Paris. Perhaps Monsieur's explanation was éminemment satisfaisant, — Bitter Crank

Where I live the conversation would go something like this.
Nice guy "Hey, you can't go around slapping women like that"

Not nice guy "Shut the fuck up or I'm gonna do the same to you"

Nice guy "You can't say that to me, I'm calling the cops!"

Not nice guy "Go ahead and I'll come back for you later"

End of discussion.

But I don't live in Paris.

Crazies in the street.

After you have finished with the post above, check out this one. Do you still think the same?

A woman that you do not want to mess around with.

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/concealed-carry-mom-training-her-083134826.html

Let's not talk about gun control, I want to know who thinks her reasoning is reasonable.

And before any brings it up yes I know it is not exactly current affairs for most of you, but safety for some is always current. And yes I also know that she is trying to sell stuff.

Let's start with something light from everyone's favorite news source.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6901945/fat-cat-put-on-diet/

States -or politicians- are not, and never were, necessary for military or wars. If tomorrow all militaries and states ceased to be, there would be a bloodshed on a global scale (a bloodshed bigger than the one that is taking place right now). — Πετροκότσυφας

People would band together and become mini states for their own protection. Once this happened others would band together to try to steal what they have, then there would be 2 mini states. The bad guys and the good guys would need leaders to guide them so there would be ranks, therefore military. They would need people to negotiate and manage the internal affairs, therefore there would be politicians.

To what extent is it valid to say: They are simply different forms of marble. — rachMiel

It is not valid to say that, you could say however that they are marble in different forms.

My missus went back to school when my daughter went to college and got her degree in school management. She did so because she wanted to "Do Something" but then they offered her a job as an assistant principle so she is quite happy about the way things turned out.

Go for it girl, the world awaits you.

Understandable, but I still believe that young people should have some sort of starting point as a guide to getting to know what one's taste buds might like.
I spent years loving guzzling Robisons' Bitter until I went to a city pub and found out there where other things to drink. Just joking, i drank it because i liked it.

You forgot the Bartenders Bible. Not everyone likes straight whisky, bloody fools that they are.

Substitute goat for f'loom and you have it almost correct, just ask Banno.

Everything is basically made up of atoms and they are in turn made of smaller particles. It is just the arrangement of those particles that make them different.

I might be wrong, but I don't remember seeing anywhere that an electron in one element is any different from those in other elements.

Just remember, some people are sons of bitches and just don't play nice with others. — Bitter Crank

Can we just shot them too and be done with it?

Military is wrong on so any levels I cannot imagine how any one could want to join. By the way, not everyone wants to join. Some are signed up and some use it as a way to get away. A lot of the ones that d join willingly are people with a death wish or just want to do other people harm and get away with it.

For one, military power is sometimes needed to quell internal dissent. — Bitter Crank

This is happening here where I live and it is not a nice experience. They do dress them up as military police though before they tell them to shoot civilians.

For two, the military is an on-call personnel pool in times of emergency. — Bitter Crank

Less money would probably be spent by having properly trained personnel for the job than maintaining thousands of soldiers and all of their equipment.

For three, many individual countries could find themselves with dysfunctional states on next door. In order to defend themselves from disorder, if not military attack, a functioning military is required. — Bitter Crank

That does not seem to be working anywhere around the world. The armies are not stopping the hordes of refugees from reaching the places they want to go to. Again, better trained border guards would probably be more functional.

Yes but... they got guns too -- big ones, and they practice. — Bitter Crank

So? Should we just get bigger ones or tell the politicians to cut off their money before we shoot them?

Except the military. You would then have a military state. Good luck with that. — Bitter Crank

Hell no we gotta shoot dem too.

From my own reading of Descartes I fail to see how anything more than the assertion at 3, a thingless experience of thought has been effectively reasoned by Descartes. — Marcus de Brun

Is it possible for nothing to have an experience? Is it possible for nothing to have an a thought?

Something must have experienced the thought otherwise you cannot use the word experienced. Events don't happen to nothings.

It has been a very long time since I last read Descartes in anything like a serious fashion but I do not understand how you reached your conclusion.

Nietzsche observed that every country claim to have a military in order to prevent invasion by another country's military. — darthbarracuda

The saddest part of this truth is that so many of the countries that spend great quantities of money on military build ups instead of education and health have nothing that anyone would want to invade them for, and no neighbors capable of invasion.

The major powers now have so much invested in war preparation that it would be a financial disaster to have to close all of the research, and production centers.

With today's technology it is possible to detect any kind of force planning an invasion of any of the major countries in the world, so a surprise "Red Dawn" invasion is extremely doubtful. Knowing this and knowing that the people of the good old US of A are armed to the teeth, who the hell would risk sending troops in?

Until someone finds a way of decimating whole armies with blood big death rays from space there are going to be people that insist on spending money for soldiers to do their bidding and die doing it. And maybe even then the race will continue to find ways of make bigger ray guns that can eliminate the other guys.

If you want to stop wars I say that we should just shoot all of the politicians so that there will be no one to start them.

Start with a good dictionary and then any and every book you can find.

None of this will help you to live your life though. The simple fact that no one is living your life means that no one can help you to live it.

If you want to live the good life you will first have to define what it will be like. Only then then can you start looking for information to help you reach your goals.

And if you are really looking for advice, don't waste your money on books about how to live the good life. That will only help the person that wrote it live a good one.
