American brainwashed by propaganda

1.) The Catholic Church created numerous ideas, but you don't know much about church history based on your posts. Bishop Barron has numerous videos on this. You can watch them and learn.

Here's a place to start to educate yourself: https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-...nts/hf_l-xiii_enc_15051891_rerum-novarum.html


2.) I'm sorry you disagree with the World Economic Forum. Maybe you could go to Davos and debate their list?

I got as far as paragraph 10 and hadn't seen an single original idea. Just because the church tells you it had a new idea doesn't mean they did. After all they got you to believe god created everything.
And as a member of WEF, as I'm sure you also are, one of the things I value is that I can disagree with them openly without fear of being kicked out.

Step 1: State a fact.

Step 2: TRF neckbeards: SOURCE? SOURCES? ACKUTALLY, I THINK...

Step 3: Post source.

Step 4: WAH WAH WAH WAH I DISAGREE WITH THAT SOURCE.

I guess we know why it's so hard to fix: You have to fix the electorate first.

We might well be stupid neck beards

But we are not the vote for a bloke who tells Davos he wants Greenland. Levels of stupid neck beards.

Well, as old as America, anyway - so... not that old really

As for America being the oldest democracy - that is true... if you have a VERY specific definition of "democracy" that excludes anything to make America's younger, or anyone else's older.

Well, as old* as America, anyway - so... not that old really

*Older democracy than the United Kingdom.

Please don't forget to mention that.

French, Italian heritage you say?

Well most of ya'll Americans have had a bit of European in you at some point.

Eating pizza on a Chaise Longue doesn't count as heritage.

I attend the Millenium stadium and pray half a dozen times a year, its like my Mecca. Then i regularly attend the little church next door and verbally abuse child sized rugby players another dozen times a year...

I feel like this counts

Six pilgrimages a year to the Millennium Stadium is more devout than half the actual churchgoers I know. Which age group are you terrorising on the sideline these days?

Taking the fun out, and putting the mental in fundamentalism.

I had to take some time away as I’m very scared of @ChicagoKid beating me up. The big meanie.

 

[Welsh Exile]

The catholic church didn't create those ideas. As has already been pointed out, they existed centuries before christianity even became a thing.

And a country that still had segregation in the 2nd half of the 20th century and didn't give blacks a practical vote until 1965 can't really lecture on democracy.

One day you might want a job and they'll drag this stuff up.

It’s very strange that “thou shall not own another human as property” wasn’t one of the 10 commandments.

I have a feeling that Vance would still like a few slaves kicking around the place.

Actually that made me think @ChicagoKid do you feel the pope needs to go and educate himself about theology?

If Vance knew bringing back slavery would win him an election he would campaign hard. Likewise if he knew being a communist he’d do that to. He has no spine. Or brain.

Skynet just around the corner. In all seriousness thought, shouldn't the sandbox environment be pretty much completely isolated from everything else to prevent exactly this?

Doesn't sound like it was technically a sandbox environment. The definition is now so well accepted I'd expect them to state it rather than "secure test environment". My guess, and it is purely a guess, is that it was actually being tested to see if it could escape.

Interesting read if you want some sleepless nights, "If Anybody Builds it, Everybody Dies" about artificial super intelligence.

I think this is harsh, only one party is seemingly wanting to flood the USA with cheap labour without legal rights, and has a history of being pro slavery.

Vance is more likely to lean to genocide to the Democrats slavery no?

 

[ncurd]

Well
End Rough Sleeping
Capping Bus Fares
20% reduction in busuness rates for hospitality

Can't say he'd doing nothing, this 1 big policy a day is a great way of communicating the rollout as well.

20% reduction in busuness rates for hospitality

This ones a huge one - seen a lot of campaigning from independent venues about it, and without knowing the ins and outs of it, on the surface it looks a great step in the right direction

He's definitely got something Starmer didn't have, a very competent communications strategist. Alastair says it isn't him though.

Cheap labour by definition is paid and I agree the Democrats are keen but there's just something about Vance.
