So why is execution not murder...Which is to say, the deliberate premeditated killing of another person.


Yes selective morality indeed...And to "be fine" is to be complicit



And the enforced achievement of sexual gratification gave us Jesus, though selective moralists will spin another yarn.


Yes, humans dish up one big contradiction after another...Such is what it is to be human.

Probably.


I don't think that I have a noticeable accent, but people tell me otherwise...Though perhaps not as distinct as Scots, Scouse, Geordie, Brummie, Welsh, Cockney, East Midlands, East Anglian, Mancunian, West Country, West Midlands etc etc...But there again perhaps it is.

Selective moralists all.


It was okay to kill Koreans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Afghanis, Pakistanis, Iraqis, Syrians, Yemenis, Iranians, Venezuelans, Cubans, Colombians...Who have I forgot and who is next...Hmmmmm, not Russians, too scary.

For sure, if your bread is buttered then don't bite the hand that feeds you...I wouldn't disagree...But that wasn't what I was referring to.


I was comparing innate and acquired programming and suggesting that perhaps unwittingly innate programming is dominant.


Which is why when it comes to cricket, long since assimilated Indian Sub-continental descendants tend not to wave the English flag.

Hmmm...I took a look at Chloe and she's OK but wouldn't top my list...Not sure about celebrity crushes, not really my sort of thing.



Been racking my brains and haven't started my list yet...Of course, they would be from the 70's 80's and perhaps 90's.


I always thought that Halle Berry was gorgeous back in the day.

Well, as I see it, racism and discrimination are two separate issues and not to be confused with discriminating racially.


I would suggest that discrimination is an inherent survival strategy, whereas racism is an acquired state of mind.


Suffice to say that people will always discriminate in response to perceivable differences...Though the level of response will vary relative to social circumstances.


Hmmmm...And some may question how "civilized" is American society?

Hmmmm...Sort of a contradiction there Debs.



A. "Consciousness fades as the brain dies"...Is self explanatory.


B. "Even though consciousness functions independently of the brain"...See A. above.


What A. tells you is that consciousness is wholly a function of the brain.

"Universally accepted".


Does that include the Warple Lizards of Thoragia from Planet Tutu in the Galluvian system?



And the Catholic Church is guided by it's global theo-political business aspirations, to dominate the global pilgrimage resort and tacky figurine shop trades.


And suckers are easily sucked in with tales of saints bones and virginal apparitions.


Oh and they love to see Popes all dressed up in fancy robes with a tremendous pointy hat...All very necessary I'm sure.

Just noticed that the number of forum posts doesn't get updated.


And I've also recently noticed that I don't get notifications for every reply.


Do we know why this is?

Overall appearance relative to socio-psychologically established standards.


I personally prefer arses to asses though I do find donkey's appealing, and I also enjoy pert arses and pert breasts...Whereas tatties is what a Scotsman or woman or other, might refer to when discussing potatoes.


Race and colour proffer exciting opportunities...Quirky features too, but not downright ugly...Fit as in toned and healthy...But as the saying goes, you don't look at the mantelpiece when you're stoking the fire...Whereas from the other side of the room do you really want your pals to see a mingging mantelpiece.

We give them various names such as wotsits, cheese puffs and Gervaise.


NB. Gervaise is not intended to be euphemistically upper class homosexual, but more so, a reference to the works of Rene Clement and Emile Zola.

Yes, virtual predation on a virtual platform resulting in remote and solitary stress relief must also benefit the tissue manufacturing industry...Surely all angst is the domain, obligation and consequent judgementalism of perverse moralists.


Whereas I neither play games nor seek to perform on platforms...And all chauffeuses will be thoroughly vetted.


NB. Thorough vetting is not a euphemism...Which isn't to say that perverse judgemental moralists won't feel obliged to disagree.

Ongoing systems function and tissue regeneration under low stress conditions, is perhaps thought without unnecessary simulation and sensory distraction...Though a total reboot is not necessarily always an option...Of course ongoing maintenance of a system in partial shut down will undoubtedly require ongoing and assisted external input...Therefore unassisted, COMA is a only a very short term option...Alive but time limited.

Or the Brain is the ultimate in multi-functional independent organic management systems, wherein mind is just a nominal appreciation of but one function.
