Kicking off on London Bridge

[xoggoth]

Nah. That's my other self. This is apathetic xoggoth here.

Your grasp of human nature is largely non existent.

When all else fails, there's always the ad hominem attack.

[scooterscot]

Predictably, like the mutton-head you are, you come up with a simple solution to a complex problem.

Predictably you suggest a simple problem as complex.

There's nothing complex about human-beings using religion as an excuse to be nasty to each other.

Have a read of this, from a google of: "emotion vs logic in motivation":

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...ic-and-emotion

"It is said that emotions drive 80% of the choices Americans make, while practicality and objectivity only represent about 20% of decision-making"
and:
"a large percentage of the time, emotion wins this ever-going arm wrestle"


Emotions are the main indicator of intent and belief, and the absence of emotions is a good indicator of indifference and/or dishonesty (with the BBC interviewees being the former).

So what do you suggest? We ( Western Countries ) should never "interfere" with other countries?

And you honestly believe that would help?

You are blaming us for the crimes of others. You are an appeaser.

That must make you a warmonger then. Which is probably not far from the truth since the country is the 2nd largest dealer of weapons on the planet.

Explain why we should interfere with other countries seeking their own history that is not ours? For as long as it does not threaten ours, then let them get on with it.

Not selling weapons to 'bad' people would help.

Feeling very apathetic lately. Can anyone recommend a good derangement class?

Yeah, go have a talk to yourself in a mirror

Therein lies the rub; whose definition of "bad" gets to take precedence?

[shaunbhoy]

The cynical might say your comment proves you are an ultra cretin.

Not just the cynical.

I agree with you on that one.

[scooterscot]

Not who or what, very simply 'do no harm to others I'd not be prepared to receive myself'
