I'm sure that $95m was NOT spent on guns and guerillas. The point is, we don't know what the vig on AID was.
A stadium full of white guilt-pride Spirit trying to "atone" for Colonialism's sins...
...all with pure hearts and 'good' intentions. In other words, a "moral hazard" waiting to be exploited by bad actors. Kitsch ethics at work.
Again, if I understand you correctly, you think that Western civilisation has rested upon the principle that, whatever else was permitted or forbidden, the one heinous act which would destroy the world was to do precisely this--the deliberate act of tampering with human beings so as to make them behave in a way which, if they knew what they were doing, or what its consequences were likely to be, would make them recoil with horror and disgust. The whole of the Kantian morality (and I don't know about Catholics, but Protestants, Jews, Muslims and high-minded atheists believe it) lies in this; the mysterious phrase about men being "ends in themselves," to which much lip-service has been paid, with not much attempt to explain it, seems to lie in this: that every human being is assumed to possess the capacity to choose what to do, and what to be, however narrow the limits within which his choice may lie, however hemmed in by circumstances beyond his control; that all human love and respect rests upon the attribution of conscious motives in this sense; that all the categories, the concepts, in terms of which we think about and act towards one another--goodness, badness, integrity and lack of it, the attribution of dignity or honour to others which we must not insult or exploit, the entire cluster of ideas such as honesty, purity of motive, courage, sense of truth, sensibility, compassion, justice; and, on the other side, brutality, falseness, wickedness, ruthlessness, lack of scruple, corruption, lack of feelings, emptiness--all these notions in terms of which we think of others and ourselves, in terms of which conduct is assessed, purposes adopted--all this becomes meaningless unless we think of human beings as capable of pursuing ends for their own sakes by deliberate acts of choice--which alone makes nobility noble and sacrifices sacrifices
Odd. Derpy hasn't come by to rip a loud fart here.
ReplyDeleteThe world's poorest children are dying by the hundreds of thousands.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Sister Simone Campbell the "big beautiful bill" is a "cause for Jesus to weep".
The Satan worshipper Rattrapper aka Mystere must be so happy.
btw, why did d0n0ld steal "BBB" when "BBB" was "Build Back Better"?
The CBO says this Turd of a bill will add 4 trillion to the debt while taking away healthcare from tens of thousands.
republicans are the ultimate hypocrites. They always whine about the debt, but then ALWAYS run it up bigly. While Democrats always bring the deficit down.
Do they ever bring the DEBT down? LOL!
Deleterepublicans? No, not in my lifetime. Democrats could bring down the debt -- if republicans weren't working hard to increase it.
DeleteGee, they had a government trifecta in 2021... why didn't they do it then, again?
