Mr Walker Posted May 17, 2019 #3326 Share Posted May 17, 2019 lol just reading yesterdays posts about people hating politics. i had heard of this phenomenon but never seen it in action with real people.How can ANYONE in a democratic country deliberately close their minds and words to politics. It defines our lives And, indeed, the connection between political beliefs and religious beliefs is a natural human connection if democracy is too hard for peole then the y could try moving to a place like china or saudi Arabia ps in Australia, registration and voting is compulsory .I am a conscientious objector to compulsory voting and so, in my life, have never voted .BUT I have a great interest in politics. Tomorrow is our national election, and the results will shape our nation for the next 4 years or so I will be throwing a party to watch the whole show on TV after the polls close which hopefully will last for about 4 to 6 hours, if its a close contest Much more exciting and significant than any other competition, including sporting ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like the Earth. We all know it will end one day, because everything with a beginning has an ending. But, what’s happened in between? Like our skin - the largest organ in our body- it constantly renews itself. But these are time periods long beyond us and our ability to observe. The universe keeps remaking itself. Star die and bring forth other stars and planets, and even some of the elements in our own bodies. This happens everywhere all the time in an expanse so enormous we can’t even understand it. I think that’s perfect. If you or anyone else happens to think I’m missing something, feel free to share. I listen. I think you're trying to define something that's at best completely subjective, and at worst just straight-up doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they can't "Oh, god" in the private moments. Been celibate for 20 years. No anger. I think it might depend on the cause of the celibacy, and whether you resent it or not. Sex actually seems to be commonly linked to violence and abuse. Maybe because the testosterone involved affects both areas (sex drive and temper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if you agree, and I don't care if you disagree. I don't care about your opinion on anything, and just about damn near everyone else on this forum has expressed the same sentiments towards you. So it would be nice for once to be able to scroll through these boards without seeing walls of text that nobody cares about that are all about merely inflating your own ego. Nobody cares.

How about this....Mr. Walker, would you please stop talking about yourself so much, and would you mind not talking so much in general? lol nice tone, but no My last personal comment ( about celibacy) referenced the only person i can speak of with authority (myself) it responded to a post which suggested that celibacy was linked to anger. I find that to be untrue and also tha t sex and anger often go together. That does not invalidate the other opinion, just offer a different one and indeed, i believe that celibacy and more significantly a ban on marriage might be one reason for the degree of paedophilia in the catholic church I have been posting less, but there have been some excellent posts in this thread which invited response, and i have the same right as any to give an opinion Edited May 17, 2019 by Mr Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut up and go home. I don't care And no, only a small group, who have very different values, beliefs, and opinions to my own, have actually taken it personally It would not be a discussion forum if everyone with whom you disagreed, took their ball and went home . There is a lot of stuff here that i have no interest in like the colour of a persons hair, preferences in music, memes etc but i just ignore it and go for the good stuff Ps "walls of text"? Been a long time since i wrote what i consider a wall of text (over a 1000 words) but then, some people think that more than 10 words is too long, and too hard to follow Edited May 17, 2019 by Mr Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have rules and laws based on intellectual concepts, values, principles, and beliefs. So, if we kill another deliberately, it is murder or manslaughter. If we take another person sexually without informed consent, it is rape We have the same base instincts as all primates, but when an ape, chimpanzee, or monkey kills its rival, and all its rival's children, and takes the female by force, we see nothing wrong in that, because the ape is just following it's basic instincts. Most people follow the rules and laws, showing that we can control our primate instincts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
