RE: Rehab or punishment

Perhaps 30% of men and 10% of women can judge people for what they did, and the context in which they did it, rather than by the mood you're in at the time of judging them. Which is probably because we come from people whose consequence for getting it wrong is death. We if not reluctantly say fair play not just for their benefit but our own. It comes from best man for the job which comes from being thrown to the lions and surviving it, this is different to woman's my favourite person for the job which is about maintaining a certain mood back at basecamp. If we never did fair play the men would die faster than the women. We respect making it on merit and all it had to do was save our lives. But if you're going to survive anyway it'll just be what you fancy that's innocent and what you don't fancy which is guilty.

RE: Rehab or punishment

People on the forums will prefer punishment because it's a collection of life's negative experiences. The old but heavily divorced along the way, plus you never have to look anybody in the eye. The divorced are more right wing than the married rather ironically, it is the least likely to do unto others as you would have them do unto you they are here to cut up your brother before he gets you in the end. Someone else has to pay for the misfortunes and for the mistakes in a vicious snake pit.

RE: Are you going without...foods you used to afford?

Particularly if you don't live in area full of traumatized afghans with bedsheets over the window. We know that diversity makes it harder to do things as a community but don't be suspicious of everyone you meet because you read the daily mail. When you're surrounded by people you could have worked with if not for the fact you're a slug man. Unless the culture has more money than sense we simply have to trust somebody sooner or later.

RE: Are you going without...foods you used to afford?

Why not get around the loneliness of self-service checkouts by shopping with a neighbour. Because if you're shopping with a neighbour you can buy in bulk. Two birds, one stone. Use the fact that we are all going through the same thing as a bonding session, to pool resources with good company because surviving hardship rests upon teamwork, the ability to come together. To subordinate the interests of section and individual to the company as a whole. It would be better to know the neighbours anyway, better than talking to someone at the checkout who is paid to talk back.

RE: Are you going without...foods you used to afford?

And this is so true for the retailers in this country because we do have a competitive market in that field. Other industries may not be passing those savings onto us but for grocers the profit margins are razor thin.

RE: Are you going without...foods you used to afford?

Self-service checkouts lower inflation and I dread to think what the quality of life would have been like since 2008 if not for technology and the internet. These are the things which offset the losses that come from meeting India in the middle. Not all the losses but there's a limit to how far we can fall by doing more with a lot less. Employing people is going to raise costs for business and prices for the consumer. We have no choice but to do things in the most efficient way we can.

RE: Rehab or punishment

That's why so many Jews get killed in troubled times. To make someone else even more unlucky than you have already been. But it's not a good thing that people are nice when it's easy and nasty when it's easy. That whatever mood is easiest to be in determines that Jews are responsible for all the worlds wars, or alternatively, that prisons should have a revolving door. It's when everybody is angry that you need to keep calm and when everybody is trivial that you need to get serious. Counter society's moods.

RE: Rehab or punishment

Mercy should be a light for when all other lights go out but most people don't do this. The worse criminal gets lucky because the judge and jury feel lucky but the tendency of tough times is to punish the innocent. I've been unlucky, now I'm going to make you unlucky. People tend to pass on their fortune or misfortune and justice is left to this fickleness.

I think I've said I believe in it between people in the sense of your mood is my mood, your laugh is making me laugh, your confidence inspires my confidence, your body language is my body language, and so on.

Open the window and tell him to jump. If anybody deserves to be committing suicide it's her, poor woman

RE: I. Don't understand American. Politics..

It's because he's not Justin Trudeau. Biden's senility is there to allay the fears of conservatives, not that it's worked. Keir Starmer is the same not so old but that sense that you can win by not upsetting anyone in contrast to the charismatic strongmen from the right. But they just upset people by accident rather than by design.

RE: Why people are so biased in other part of the world??

Not that many are of the, how to call it, traveller's persuasion to want to do something like that. Which probably helps explains the bias. It's sticking to your own not even curious about a different way of life. But yes on this website it's prudent to be this way. It wouldn't be an authentic African experience anyway but someone who will agree with anything you say for the money.

RE: Why people are so biased in other part of the world??

I don't dismiss that people are biased, many would argue that night is day if they dislike you enough or agree with anything you say if they like you enough. Many people are this way. But that's not what's going on with African on here you'd be lucky if they approach you with good intentions. No, you'd have to approach them with good intentions, you'd have better relations on a specifically African chat room where the Africans are being themselves.

RE: How often do you play the Lotteries? Mega Millions lottery now > $1.2 Billion USDs

Every now and then. Sometimes it's rude not to, literally turning down a gift somebody bought you to see you jolly. I'm not going to break social convention to avoid playing the lottery

RE: This is worth reading....

We have to go down the road of the more expensive but altogether lower risk national capitalism. Like after world war two. Pay more for something that has a lot less to go wrong. We can't trust global capitalism unless we have Britain ruling the waves or some sort of world government. Which contrary to the wet dreams of conspiracy theorists we do not have, we absolutely do not have this level of cooperation in the world. We need a capitalism that is at most regional.

RE: This is worth reading....

We are going to have to go down the road of depending on ourselves. Yes it costs more to develop the north sea but not if we fall out with the Russians. It's easier to buy where it's easier when buying where it's cheapest turns out to be so costly.

RE: law of KARMA

Christianity comes to save the earth from hell not so much turn it into a heaven. We now live in a satanic society where all things happen by design, nothing happens by accident, and therefore nobody can be forgiven because they know exactly what they do. It's nonsense because life has a will of its own and results transpire to be very much different from their intention. If there's a universal spirit to religion it precisely is this judging by intentions and acknowledging that the lord works in mysterious ways. The devil dines when we think we've got it all worked out and nothing can happen by chance.

RE: law of KARMA

And that's the tragic thing how many a good Christian in the modern world found themselves victims of communism. Because it's the idea of heaven on earth a utopian society where actual justice takes place. And this could be the greatest injustice of them all because what if you're wrong? Life's not fair and that is a sympathetic message to those abused by the powerful, it is not a call to arms as the communists believe.

RE: law of KARMA

And give unto Caesar reflects this. It's saying don't revolt but it's also saying them obey like they were a tax inspector. These are not people you like or look up to, it's not that these are good people in any way it's that the cops and soldiers already murdered Jesus so they need not murder you so long as you pay lip service to these devils.

RE: law of KARMA

What happened in the west around the time of the enlightenment was the idea that the law could actually be truth and justice. An idea that won't actually be catching on. The law in the past and I dare say now and in the future is to kill 1 in the interests or the apparent interests of the 99. To create order and protect those in power regardless of innocence or guilt. The concept of the afterlife is that only in death will someone receive a fair trial with an honest judge.

RE: law of KARMA

In the east karma is about the afterlife like traditional Christianity is here. In the grand scheme of things all will be made right. Karma in the west is modern you'll get what you give in this life not the next. Karma in the west is largely the most privileged people ever to have lived applauding themselves for being lucky.

But the truth is actually a combination. The good fortune did come from a past life i.e. all the cosmic money energy flowing towards you after your parents died, but we didn't earn it didn't build that nest egg just ate it like a mad chicken. We didn't earn our own inheritance although inheritance set the tone of the way things were in the west.

RE: This is worth reading....

It's the miracle of global capitalism to buy the things you really need from the people who don't really like you. Nothing could go wrong here, we had an agreement.

RE: How Was Your Day?

The highlight of my day was avoiding a traffic jam followed by 4 kitchen rolls for £1. Which could have helped with your porch not that there's anything wrong with your approach. Many problems in life will simply evaporate away so long as you don't try to confront them too early

RE: Skin colour

What I want to know is why don't Pakistani's come with exotic allure? Or indians for that matter? There is something to fancy from every country apart from those and it's not good enough. We can't just put an entire sub-continent down like that

RE: Skin colour

And black youngsters look like they've had the hardest life anybody ever has. And who knows maybe they have. But they stay that way for 40 years like a people that time forgot

RE: Skin colour

They do and they don't age slower. They look 14 until they're 40, and then they look 60 before they're 41.

And I don't know how whites are in your country but the tans here are mostly fake now. Which is a positive and something I never thought I'd hear myself say. Fake tan is a positive.
