All hail to freedom of the press, but then comes Corona and the freedom of the press is just a theory.


Not really though?


Can you provide a concrete example? I didn't see the press stop reporting on e.g. the number of cases / deaths, the measures taken, the counter-measure protests, the vaccination programs or anything.


It wasn't clever to do this in London. UK is the lackey of the US


You have really no clue who made it. It's just all speculation. Just as Dinosaurs are fake, Neanderthals are probably fake and the thousands/millions of years.


They don't understand that every block will just attract attention and will be circumvented one or the other way.


We didn't evolve. Anything more than micro-evolution is a lie and it's very easy to see that it's wrong - if you want to. But I have to admit it's a very popular lie and people swing words like scientific to make it impressive. Of course much depends on this lie for many people. They can do whatever they want because they are just a buch of random cells, right?


Doctors just don't want to admit that they don't have a clue what is causing the sickness (and not just this one). And because of that they pretend to know, inventing far fetched theories. That is a large part of their profession in health care. To make people feel they know and can help. The drugs are there to keep the cycle going. Because then patients depend on them for further medication.


Doctors "admit" this all the time. Stories in the popular media are where we get claims that doctors have the answers. As for the idea that doctors only give out psych drugs to keep patients dependent, nonsense. There is just a strong presumption for any treatment, any hope, over no treatment. On my psych rotations I never heard any attending claim anything about antipsychotics other than they helped a little, were very "dirty" and had bad side effects which made a lot of patients stop taking them...but, they're all we've got


I can tell you what is wrong with the world and Facebook. It is that you all think that you are a bunch of animals waiting to die. And all you can do is to squeeze that tomato to get as much pulp as possible until you hit the fan. It is your faith or lack thereof that makes you worry about everything because you feel so helpless facing a world that is trying to rip you off on every possible level.


> Part of the fabric of the universe is a product of intelligence.

Look, it's simple: God made the whole thing. But you don't want to believe in God so you invent funny theories to explain away God.


God is t an answer. It explains nothing. It's the absence of an explanation hand waved away and given a name.

Even IF a god existed the same questions would still apply


> Marcus Aurelius started each day telling himself: ‘I shall meet with meddling, ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, and unsociable people’

In other words: every day I will meet with sinners - but additionally "just as I myself am a sinner"

Christianity understands this much better than the stoics. The problem of the world is sin and what is the remedy?

Jesus Christ

> he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

or

> For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

The foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of the world


Too bad they didn't just go ahead and:

> Dump the complete database of pornhub.com including all sensitive user information.

And of course leak the data to expose everyone that participates in this nasty business. It is such a sad thing that people are even proud to work at companies like this where humans are not worth more than a big dick or boobs.

And then you get around and say that child porn is so horrible. No, all porn is horrible and destroys our families and integrity. How can there be any dignity left if these things are held to be something good?


Righteous much? The most insidious prison one could ever be put into is the arbitrary restriction in one's own mind. Luckily for the rest of us, we are in the 21st century and most people are educated enough to not believe in nonsense like witches any more. Pornography is heading in the same direction, people are finally starting to realize that sexuality is part of one's natural self. When you consider that each of us was born with a dick or tits, there is nothing wrong by accepting that and getting turned on by appreciating the aesthetics of it. It has been done since antiquity and even before that, and then we regressed into the dark ages of morality. At the very least, it is biology. Science? Yes please!
