| It goes well with the “all humans are liars” paradox. Circular logic as if the sentence is false then it would be contradiction and true. The aspie in me breaks down the sentence structure and the noun is a thing and does not have a conveyance of truth as a word but does when used as reference. Whe... |

I'm reading Something Deeply Hidden by Sean Carroll, it provides a very intuitive way of thinking about Quantum Mechanics, and explaining the Uncertainty Principle and other phenom... |

People said exactly that about Hitler in the 1930s. |

It's been all over the news. Yet, the Politics-forum on WP is VOID of any activity in threads concerning the situation in Ukraine, which can develop into WW3.
It's scary, actually! That nobody on this forum has any interest in discussing this conflict. |

| The Bible wasn't written by Schizophrenics - by any chance. Only very few people could read in ancient times, let alone write. We're talking about less than 2 % of the total population. Those who could read/write were very talented, skilled and very educated. In ancient times, as well as in todays w... |

| Russian aggression threatens all of Europe. The U.S. could very well be drawn into this conflict, even though Ukraine is not a member of NATO. For example, if/when Russia annex Ukraine, they will be sharing a lot more of borders to between Russia and the EU and NATO countries. They would be able to ... |

| I think that's too black-or-white - either an enemy or an ally. I think Germany does not want to definitely choose any side for now. They are tied both to the West and to Russia and probably hope for a diplomatic solution. Anyone who believes there will be a diplomatic solution is living in a dream... |

Perhaps you could if you stretch the definition of Communism a little further to respect the civil rights of everyone regardless of Age, Disability, Nationality, Race/Ethnicity, Religion, and Sex/Gender; bu... |
