• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

    Reason in service to humanity versus bigotry in service to inhumanity

    I agree, but that devil is a honing challenge rather than a derailing obstacle. I have written thousands of pages on the nuts-and-bolts of actualizing this ideal.

    Re: Armed protesters stalk peaceful Muslims at Texas mosque to show force[W:371, :587 Part II: There is much we need to do to address our culture of violence in America and the violence we feed into in the world.

    Re: Armed protesters stalk peaceful Muslims at Texas mosque: We want to show force[W: I will simply continue to make my point. Let's start with the battle of narratives, perhaps the most fundamental place to begin. Part I: There are two competing narratives at work here, narratives that...

    Re: Armed protesters stalk peaceful Muslims at Texas mosque: We want to show force[W: If the goal were brevity, silence would be perfection and any discourse would be a deviation from it. The real goal is density, the quantity and quality of meaningful content per volume. Many great works of...

    Re: Armed protesters stalk peaceful Muslims at Texas mosque: We want to show force[W: The problem with internet discourse in general is a horribly low signal-to-noise ratio.

    Re: Armed protesters stalk peaceful Muslims at Texas mosque: We want to show force[W: Clearly anything, from a giraffe's fart to a the frayed age of a cheap Persian rug, would "prove your point" to you, since it is a blind ideological certainty, and everything that you perceive is filtered to...

    Re: Armed protesters stalk peaceful Muslims at Texas mosque: We want to show force[W: Again, I have no idea what "Bodhisattava" (such an ironic misnomer, as if the gleeful inversion of reality has to reach to ever more absurd heights) wrote, but it is predictable enough to respond to it simply...
