Correct. The only thing we "know" at this point is the situation is becoming untenable. It sort of makes me wonder what a billion muslims and a billion Chinese who aren't having any of it would look like.

This is what I'm interested in as well. America will not stand up to radical terrorism no matter what. It's going to be China, Russia, or some part of Europe.

And when it does go off, I don't think our nation will have a say one way or the other.

We would also never get involved in Europe 'no matter what' before WW1, and would never get involved in another world war 'no matter what' before WW2.

Saying what people will do 'no matter what' is always a fool's bet.

I will say again as I have said before. The Islamic issue does not scare me nearly as much as the response to it could. When any sort of reactionary parties/governments come to power. It rarely made for happy fun times in history.

I just hope it is not an overreaction.

If the guy is not gonna let you walk off without getting in a fight. Then you have no choice but to strike first and lay em out cold or take their back and put em to sleep. You do it fast and with intent, but you do it before you get so mad you bash their face into the floor and bruise up your knuckles for no good reason. It is more humane for all involved.

You put way too much emphasis on a phrase. I don't believe in absolutes either, but odds are it won't be our nation that makes the first move.

I'm kind of surprised I have to explain this. You see how 'tolerant' most of the first world western nations are. For whatever reason we have come to terms with the loss of our people's lives to the hands of a foreign religious/political ideology.

I think we understand your point but those of us with a little more "wheelbase" ( chronological age for the uninitiated ) tend to see the historical perspective better than you. Nobody thought the current president would be elected either. Right up to election day you could get decent odds that Mrs. Clinton would be the 45th president of the United States. There's a reason I don't bet on the horses. Or on card games. Or on sporting events. Or on being 100% right about much of anything at this point. Too many variables that none of us have any control over to bet the farm on much of anything these days.

I'm pretty sure Saddam Hussein never thought about the actual consequences of thumbing his nose at us and invading Kuwait even in the aftermath of 9/11. That didn't work out so well either.

For being so softly spoken and sometimes being poked fun at for having a voice reminiscent of Kermit the frog, Jordan Peterson can speak with quite a bit of authority when he's passionate about a subject.

If you don't have much time, then from 10:30 on is a good place to start.

How many feminists would howl in anger if they saw this video today?

QKS ? What a load of crap.

And believe me, us Orthodox Vikings know a thing or two about THAT.

Australia must be a strange place to live these days.

Dr. Peterson hits it over the fence - again. I'd love to sit down with him for an evening of drinks and cigars and conversation. That could be epic.

Feminists howl in anger at pretty much everything. Its as dependable as roosters crowing at sunrise.

Mst definitely. They seem to have both the very best and the very worst. I suppose volatile and extreme circumstances will do that to a populace, though.

I assume these are the two barometers to know of whether you are in the country or in the city? Both have screaming birds, just not like you would expect.

Yeah and roosters have enough sense not to march around carrying signs.

Ok. Katie Hopkins owns it. Period.

Ms. Green on her recent education at the hands of former "friends" and acquaintances almost gets to the truth. She draws the parallel between the behavior of "religious" people and those who claim to inhabit the moral high ground ( a dubious claim at best

) without actually connecting the dots. People are hard wired for religion. The evidence is inarguable. Those who reject religious traditions out of hand simply substitute something else in its place and go about proselytizing as vigorously as any evangelist.

Did I miss something? I don't recall putting a video up with Katie Hopkins recently.

Interesting

. I've never heard that before, that people are hardwired for religion. I might have to look into that.

Neither had I, yet I have eyes to see. It is obvious.

Though, I don't think it it the religion so much as it is what the religion offers. A higher purpose, belief/understanding that there is something bigger out there, that has everything under control, a unifying set of morals, and a community of like-minded persons to provide validation.

I think religion is dependent upon one's geography and where they just happened to be born

. With my own experience regarding Christians there is hardly anything unifying about it. Baptists hate church of Christ, Church of Christ hates Catholics, and no one likes Mormons it seems. It's a big ol' cycle of everyone worshiping the same God and Jesus and yet they tear each other down. There is hardly anything ecumenical about it. That is one of the reasons I have such a difficult time going to mass with Christians, whether they be of my own flavour or Baptists, etc.

Wasn't that Katie Hopkins chatting with the mohawked / face tattoo guy in the audience at the end of the first video?

Humans are also hardwired for factionalism. The only thing we can all agree on, is that we disagree on most everything.

Well, as G.K. Chesterton once observed: " It isn't that Christianity has been tried and found wanting; its that its been found difficult and not tried."

Most people who have explored the idea Ms. Green gave voice to in her interview - "How do we produce moral people?" - or words to that effect, have come to the conclusion that religion is the only practical answer. Regardless your misgivings about the whole of organized religion and the fact that it was and is practiced by some truly monstrous individuals, there is simply no practical alternative that anyone has yet put forth.

Ok, I was pausing sections of the video and looking for a running name plate at the bottom to introduce the hosts. That is why didn't see her, not to mention me not being familiar with her. Now that I watched the last part I saw it.

Seems kind of harsh to disown your child for having a tattoo. I wouldn't disown my child unless they did something serious, such as marry someone from California

.

I think she said she would disown her child for legally changing their name to something off the wall like the mohawked / face tattooed freak who legally changed his name to Body Art . She covers a lot of ground so you have to listen fast.

I don't know if you caught the interview a couple of nights back on Tucker Carlson's show on FOX cable but he interviewed some guy on the subject of California's secessionist wet dream and it was hilarious. Carlson tied in him in pretzel knots and the guys was such a pompous, arrogant, Cali-centric ass that it all went right over his head as he smiled his vacuous "Welcome to Cali, dude!" smile. It was priceless.

I was discussing this with the clergy at my church. I frequently get frustrated because I know Christians who will see an event happen and then laugh at all of the "useless" twitter 'hashtag activism' going on in social media. Then, despite having the ability to help, they will just say "I'll pray for you" and do nothing else. I find that response to be its own celestial hashtag activism in a sense.

Now I am a catholic, so I love my structure and I am a frequent prayer, but it also took me a long time to find the church I have here. We don't just pray for people, we actually go into the community. The individuals in my congregation will pool money for turkeys and then go door to door handing them out in the poorer part of town around thanksgiving. I've never seen a church do something like that before and I must admit that I am pretty proud of them for it.

No I didn't. Assuming the you tube has it, I'll have to look into it. Remember that I don't have a television
