It occurs to me that in California we have this medical use of Marijuana being legal. Now then... My daughter has many issues which her pain doctor Rx'd Oxycodone to help with the pain in the past... Now a days she has her medical MJ certificate and purchases this certain type of MJ that...
After playing WOW and Diablo with you for so many years I know one thing for sure... You've an expectation of perfection from yourself and the demand for the gear to achieve it. When you fail you blame God I guess. I'll bet God chuckles and says to herself..."it be you what pushes the buttons...
She might be happy as a clam doing what she's doing and has no interest in other stuff. I think we are unique in what we will enjoy doing. I know for me it was back a long time ago. While in grad school I carried the US Mail and although I was fully motivated to get the final degree and the...
Without language we'd have the image of the encounter and what ever else the senses observed, I agree. We'd probably have some notion of danger by size but without having encountered an attacking giraffe we'd not know. I'd often ask my secretary to create a retrieval system and not a filing...
Well I don't really buy into the notion that those abstract terms are applicable to anything. I think the brain is the repository of everything the senses provided it with. The dynamics of the brain take that data and construe it into information which forms the thinking or actions we undertake...
Now that sounds just like what Brother Timothy would say to which I'd say that I know what its like here in hell so heaven must be the opposite. Tim was a highly educated (PhD) in brain stuff and quoted all sorts of stuff that controlled what we thought and how we acted. Jungian stuff. Well...
Wow! That seems quite the harsh response to the linked comment. And, not actually very responsive. But that is an opinion and I'd assume you've some underlying rationalization not apparent so I'll leave it there.
My grandson/son - I adopted him - received his degree in biochemistry/chemistry from UCSD and was faced with a dilemma. Should he go on to get his PhD or go about finding work in his field. I gave him my opinion which was to do research into the companies in the area who are into the latest...
Jung said - sorta.
Consciousness is controlled by the ego, however, the Self controls the totality of the person's personality. (Consciousness, unconscious AND the ego.
Let's assume that to be true... that Jung believed that. Well, I think the ego also infiltrates the unconscious state and rears...
People wrote them books although they gain their authority by virtue of proclaiming them to be the divine will of God to have them written... A ghost writer... so to speak. I figure God would have simply made the books appear much like the ten thingy that also lumped women in with the cows and...
Hehehe, I chuckle every time I read that one.
It does beg the question, however. What is that one truth that covers us all and how like the Dervish and Nasruden can we be so certain we know that we know what that is? My buddy Jesuit Timothy use to caution me that no one knows the truth but God...
Nasruden who had lost his keys in his cellar was found outside searching under a street lamp. When a student inquired why look outside under a street lamp Nasruden replied that it was too dark in the cellar and he could see just fine out here under the lamp. It seems to me that the master didn't...
It seems to me that what ever is right ought to be what is. Ergo, I've no idea how I align with a party... probably bits and pieces of each of them. I think as we age we become more self concerned and whatever ideology suits that position is what we adopt. Unless we invoke some higher power...
I figure that Trump utters what he does without any agenda to effect what he does say. I look at his comments much like the donkey saying he'll move the land closer so to chomp on the rest of the grass. He's more interested in keeping his feel good intact that he might be dangerous if he felt...
The "correct place" presumes a terminus for both the blind Vet and the helped folks when, as I see it, the start of the process is where the helped folks were being brought to.
What I find fascinating is the notion that most of us consider ourselves to be perfect us unblemished by what afflicts...
Hehehehehe
Yes! Trump ought not utter a word nor make any gestures that are not scripted for him. He simply don't communicate goodly enough when in extemporaneous mode. He should have taken the time to interface with the teleprompter until his speeches approximated a non teleprompter delivery...
Trump should not comment on issues he does not understand. PTSD has not to do with strength nor weakness unless he considers a person having one or more mental issues a weakness. In any event, him never having faced actual or threatened death or serious injury or sexual violation might also...
Today I noticed this blind Vet at the VA hospital helping sighted folks to whatever place they needed to go... In fact, later on I saw him pushing another Vet who was in a wheel chair to their appointment location... Then I came upon this thread and it was like deja vu but then nobody always...
We do best when we are united against a common foe. Short of invading Norway it seems we will never end the insanity that currently separates us. We have too many folks who consider themselves superior to folks of color. And folks of color are sick of it. The recent events does nothing but...
The agreement is really dependent on the parties to it. There are 12 who are negotiating atm. China is absent. We probably want all the Pacific Rim folks involved along with folks not part of that area like Canada, Mexico and etc. who are already among the 12 if I recall right.
We need to have...
Either we increase debt spending or increase income here in order to consume imports... Imports just don't get consumed out of thin air. I don't see either happening soon. It is possible to consume TPP stuff but at the expense of some other import... I'd argue.
We seem to have taken an interest in the area. I've seen reports of our fleet ships being 'buzzed' by our Chinese friends.
IF we develop economic ties then we have developed reason to stick our nose into what ever goes on in the area.
The TPP seems to have an underlying importance. The US might be trying to generate a wall against the China endeavors in the wide ranging region of the South China Sea.
The economics are a two sided sword. TPP will generate some exports but significantly more imports from the new buddies...
That's a mouth full of condemnation, it seems to me. You assert that I am lying about what ought to be simply obvious to anyone reasonably versed in what under pins our judicial system. Be that as it may but to further assert or at least suggest that I am deceiving myself by stating the obvious...
The bold bit I just have to take issue with. 'Bad enough' suggests all the elements of crime are present but there is some sort of threshold one must proceed beyond to be indicted. Like; one must send 29 classified emails to be indicted but 28 is an ok scenario. Mens Rea.... Mens Rea.... she...
I tried to present a case of being not guilty... (she is always innocent until guilt is proved) of criminal offenses and I think the result of which wipes the slate clean. That slate ought be clean throughout the process in any case but let's assume she made mistakes and let's assume she...
I don't know what her motive(s) was/were on the relevant issues. Neither can I place myself in her shoes and determine what might I have done. I can by inferential logic conclude an innocent and criminal behavior attached to what is factual. For instance, the FBI guy said there was an indication...
Ya gotta have elements of the crime alleged to have been committed to move the issue to indictment. The exact statements the committee are harping on were made to the FBI and they didn't indict on that issue. Mens Rea... IF she believed she was telling the truth while under oath or just...
Sanders is the hope of millions but not mine. His positions are not feasible and cannot possibly pass Congress even with his revolution taking hold. Neither can Trump's. Hillary might could get some version of her positions through... maybe.
I for one am convinced that IF the FBI could have developed evidence of a crime indictments would have been handed down.
What Hillary got was justice. The kind of justice each of us ought to receive.
I know what I wont be supporting. I don't buy into what I know I don't know about and that is the reality of Hillary. IOW, I don't condemn based on what someone says. Evidence of what you're saying is not apparent to me. I wont waste my vote on the minor candidates either. Trump or Hillary is my...
I didn't hear the FBI indicate crimes were committed. IF all the elements of a crime are not present or provable then I'd say the FBI recommendation was proper.
Who has the authority to determine the classification of an email? I'm somewhat aware of the owner's (State Dept.) system...
I recall a Cspan hearing in the 90s - I think - with Trump testifying about taxation of casino profits if the casino was on Indian reservations and him crying reverse discrimination cuz the Indians were not taxed. I thought at the time that he was making an ass of himself with his comments. He's...
Once you realize there is no factual answer to a question you are free to conjure up what ever you want and postulate it to be probably factual. In time, it don't much matter what the truth of a question is because it will be your conjured version that becomes your truth.
Look at this and other...
Yeah, I've read other sources that indicate Clinton knew Lynch was about to arrive and delayed his departure which sort of confirms that. But, I wonder if it was an unilateral or mutual event set up before her arrival. I also read from two sources unconfirmed from the same person that Lynch had...
Yeah but... it seems no one notices the pyroclastic flow about to engulf the region. Trump seems to be doing as much as he can to not be elected and I wonder why and how on earth can he be so dense if that's not the case.
