"I thinks this is where the journey starts to get really serious." The tone of your posts seems to be as if you are anticipating our demise. Like you're saying goodbye.. It's just an election.. and one in which we'll finally be done with our in-house wannabe.. we can all watch him get carted off to sing sing.. Life is good Lee.. as to seriousness... it's always been.. nothing changes.. and yeah Thursday follows Wednesday.. As to all the noise.. we're a country of laws.. folks will push 'em.. and end up with the consequences.. no biggie.. just time and energy.. and it too shall pass..

Yep...easy peasy... "Ye shall know them by their fruits." Matthew 7:16 Now we sit back and watch them try to spin "the propserity gospel" and their hardcore evangelical patriarchal right-by-might myths into *somehow being OF CHRIST...as being Christ-like, as if Jesus Christ ever taught anything remotely resembling the real-life fascist tenets they will now enforce...racism, religious intolerance, financial exclusivity, literally everything they intend... It can't be done. We know that. And God bless you GOPers, we know you must try to make what you're doing *wrap itself around that cross to pretend you're behind who and what Jesus Christ lived to show,* try to pass off Republican Fascism as being even remotely compatible with it... But that fabric isn't even well-woven, it's not big enough and there's no way it has an iota of stretch to it... You can't wrap Fascism around True Christ-ian Energy and try to hide that Light...the effort is starting out full of gaping holes, and its glaring inconsistencies with the Infinite Love and Compassion that Christ taught, as it will be arising simultaneously, matching the darkness moment-by-moment until its full glory synergizes...and that false fabric simply dis-integrates... That's the most loving thing I can speak to this, what I see as an astonishing and brilliantly crafted intentional misunderstanding of spiritual truth, wielded against a population of sincere believers who can't yet grasp what they have agreed to... |

...how does one tell the difference? ...it's been my experience that prayer or meditation helps with "discernment" between good and not so good. On a more practical level, it was pretty obvious Harris wasn't qualified let alone ready for the job. It was Trump that demonstrated that he could bring diversity and fairness to the political process. It helps to keep an open and objective mind rather you're discussing religion OR politics. Christ teaches forgiveness, Kamala not so much. Trump would seem to be the middle ground... ...and America responded. |

"do better at stopping all the wars" You say that as if we, the USA, has anything we can do to stop them. I mean, sure, we can lay down, as those that are often apt to suggest, and just give dictators what they want. Like saying sure, to Putin, take Ukraine. Which as a matter of principle we're not predisposed to do. So, instead, as we are disposed to do, we offer assistance, measured assistance, to Ukraine. And yet I kinda sense you're saying that was wrong. That you're "blaming" Biden for responding as such to Putin. That you're saying we, the USA is at fault for creating wars, such as what is playing out in Ukraine. Is that what you are saying? The same in Palestine. Are you saying we are wrong to support our allies? That we really should let Iran have it's way rather than support an effort to end the decades long conflict? And what about Taiwan? Are you suggesting because of threats from Xi we should surrender our support for their sovereignty? I am asking because unless you think those guys, Putin, Xi, and all their little upstart followers, can be persuaded to forego their designs for dominance I don't see how your complaint makes any sense. Especially when you dress it up with insinuations that the USA is somehow at fault for trying to preserve the model of democracy as a guiding principle for the management of the world's affairs. But hey, I am sure you will enlighten us on how I am missing the point. |

The same to Lee.. How would Jesus bring a different perspective on the matter? I get "love one another" as a core tenet but I don't see Christians (the kind I am referring to here) acting accordingly. Criminalizing women for their choices, often made under extreme duress, is not loving women. It just isn't no matter how hard they try to paint it otherwise. So, how does Jesus' precepts apply to international relationships? Does turn the other cheek imply surrender? Are we, is Ukraine, Israel, sinning for our defiance to dictatorial dominance? Xi will hit a wall, something in his political sphere will change and he'll calculate that invading Taiwan is the proper course, and the world will be thrown into chaos. We're too interconnected.. parts for things made one place, assembled another, and those fricking microchips. If China moves, and we move, and all commerce will come to a halt. How would you suggest Jesus would deal with the matter? I mean if looking into his eyes and being mesmerized don't work, what? |

Do you want a little cheese with that whine? Funny how you avoid making commitments to positions on anything. Interesting programming. I have no interest in that industry. Hate it. Just have a bit of confusion on how to go from here, where we are today, to the idealized state of no more war? Wars are fought for reasons. Gotta give folks a reason not to fight them. Ukraine, a sovereign nation makes decisions for itself that its neighbor doesn't like. Ukraine wants to be associated with free democracies and Russia invades to prevent them from doing so. What do you suggest is the proper response? |

What do you suggest is the proper response? For starters, you could learn what the United States did to the democratically elected President of Ukraine back in 2014... ...and then apply the principles of Jesus of Nazareth in righting that injustice. When you have that part under control, come on back to C Bible Religion for a few more positively constructive hints if you need them. I love you ao, as much as you know, but what we are doing in Ukraine and the middle east is criminal... ...and you and I are fully complicit.

getting old hurts in a lot of ways but one of the good things about being an old timer is it makes it easier to suffer fools gladly... They say Moses lived until he was 500... I can only imagine how that felt and I'm only 79. I've been consciously trying to improve myself since I was in my early twenties and made a consciousness decision to take the slower path and not try to tackle everything at once but take turtle steps towards a LARGER goal in life. It enabled me to make PROGRESS that tended to stay with me and slowly mature into a more stable form. As a result I've had a fairly stable foundation to build on and I've taken the time to reinforce it as necessary. I suspect some of my fellow ebers have forgotten some of the more valuable lessons they learned earlier in their life and perhaps have drifted towards being the very things they at one time pledged not to become. The concept of FASCISM or DEPLORABLE is an example of that backsliding and there is probably nothing you or I can do about that other than not to backslide ourselves. I suggest you continue to get YOUR messages out and continue your own personal growth and let the others work at their own pace. If they want your help, or mine, I'm sure they'll let you know. For what it's worth, judging from the feedback I see from others, you're doing just fine. |

No, Nevada. If someone is actually maturing as they age, growing older and wiser by definition of holding a larger view (goal), one does not PROGRESS into a place where the understandings of what is humane by definition, what actually translates to authentic, genuine *freedom* and *civil rights* for All (that larger goal) grow less clear...less well-defined...more ambiguous, and more open to wide variations of interpretation... No. They do not, my friend. The understandings of what all is necessary, in life, for there to be true *humanity and respect for all,* for those larger goals to be represented within our government, within our societal relationships as well as personal ones ALL GROW IN DEPTH AND SCOPE as we age, if we are really maturing, rather than tend to "backslide" into younger territories of self "that they were before"... "Fascism" in all its expressions is, by definition, not something that resonates with those larger goals...but rather with authoritative/dictatorial division via racism, via financial and religious exclusivism (see Project 2025), via every intention the rightwing GOP is currently espousing as its platform... So, no "backsliding" in my quarter, Nevada, by your definition, nor do I see that anywhere amongst EB posters except from the GOPers... And I suffer fools far more easily anymore when they're not trying to elect rightwing fascist thugs to run my country... |

Subject: Swearing Is Actually a Sign of More Intelligence – Not Less
|
Seriously Lee, if your boy were around today he'd tell those who claim to live their lives in his name and yet have authoritarian wet dreams to "go fuck themselves." I actually think he'd say it just like that. --- Full Headline: Swearing Is Actually a Sign of More Intelligence – Not Less – Say Scientists The use of obscene or taboo language - or swearing, as it's more commonly known - is often seen as a sign that the speaker lacks vocabulary, cannot express themselves in a less offensive way, or even lacks intelligence. Studies have shown, however, that swearing may in fact display a more, rather than less, intelligent use of language. While swearing can become a habit, we choose to swear in different contexts and for different purposes: for linguistic effect, to convey emotion, for laughs, or perhaps even to be deliberately nasty. Psychologists interested in when and why people swear try to look past the stereotype that swearing is the language of the unintelligent and illiterate. In fact, a study by psychologists from Marist College found links between how fluent a person is in the English language and how fluent they are in swearing. The former - verbal fluency - can be measured by asking volunteers to think of as many words beginning with a certain letter of the alphabet as they can in 1 minute. People with greater language skills can generally think of more examples in the allotted time. Based on this approach, the researchers created the swearing fluency task. This task requires volunteers to list as many different swear words as they can think of in 1 minute. By comparing scores from both the verbal and swearing fluency tasks, it was found that the people who scored highest on the verbal fluency test also tended to do best on the swearing fluency task. The weakest in the verbal fluency test also did poorly on the swearing fluency task. What this correlation suggests is that swearing isn't simply a sign of language poverty, lack of general vocabulary, or low intelligence. Instead, swearing appears to be a feature of language that an articulate speaker can use in order to communicate with maximum effectiveness. And actually, some uses of swearing go beyond just communication. Natural pain relief Research we conducted involved asking volunteers to hold their hand in iced water for as long as they could tolerate, while repeating a swear word. The same set of participants underwent the iced water test on a separate occasion, but this time they repeated a neutral, non-swear word. The heart rate of both sets of participants was monitored. What we found was that those who swore withstood the pain of the ice-cold water for longer, rated it as less painful, and showed a greater increase in heart rate when compared to those who repeated a neutral word. This suggests they had an emotional response to swearing and an activation of the fight or flight response: a natural defence mechanism that not only releases adrenalin and quickens the pulse, but also includes a natural pain relief known as stress-induced analgesia. This research was inspired by the birth of my daughter when my wife swore profusely during agonising contractions. The midwives were surprisingly unfazed, and told us that swearing is a normal and common occurrence during childbirth - perhaps for reasons similar to our iced water study. Two-way emotional relationship We wanted to further investigate how swearing and emotion are linked. Our most recent study aimed to assess the opposite of the original research, so instead of looking at whether swearing induced emotion in the speaker we examined whether emotion could cause an increase in swearing fluency. Participants were asked to play a first person shooter video game in order to generate emotional arousal in the laboratory. They played for ten minutes, during which they explored a virtual environment and fought and shot at a variety of enemies. We found that this was a successful way to arouse emotions, since the participants reported feeling more aggressive afterwards when compared with those who played a golf video game. Next, the participants undertook the swearing fluency task. As predicted, the participants who played the shooting game were able to list a greater number of swear words than those who played the golf game. This confirms a two-way relationship between swearing and emotion. Not only can swearing provoke an emotional response, as shown with the iced water study, but emotional arousal can also facilitate greater swearing fluency. What this collection of studies shows is that there is more to swearing than simply causing offence, or a lack of verbal hygiene. Language is a sophisticated toolkit, and swearing is a part of it. Unsurprisingly, many of the final words of pilots killed in air-crashes captured on the 'black box' flight recorder feature swearing. And this emphasises a crucial point, that swearing must be important given its prominence in matters of life and death. The fact is that the size of your vocabulary of swear words is linked with your overall vocabulary, and swearing is inextricably linked to the experience and expression of feelings and emotions. --- Extra Points: For me.. the real "potty" mouth was when Karen kept invoking images of herself with an unchanged diaper on her face. That was truly disgusting.. to me. Each their own, eh Lee? And.. still.. no potty mouth on Jesus' board.. got it! |

| was having an interesting discussion about this just the other day with some friends...consensus was the younger generations swear a lot more nowadays...it seems what we call swear words, are just words for them...part of the regular conversational vernacular...whereas our generation used them mainly for pointed punctuation and effect, to drive home a viewpoint or express passion, nowadays they are just part of the general conversational lexicon...fuckin eh, non? |

Some folks...especially those coming from a particularly academic intellectual sensibility and, omg yes, especially if they're religious...still see the use of "foul language" as their gauge for whether someone is "of sufficient sophistication" to bother with giving any attention or engaging...whether a person is *civil enough* to participate in a conversation without doing so... ;) The frequency is decreasing but there was a time when I'd get some outright hostile looks, especially from other women, when I'd be speaking about something for awhile and suddenly casually use the f word; honestly, you'd think I'd physically struck them...! Eyebrows on the ceiling, eyes bugging, mouth gaping: "But I never expected to hear that from YOU!" What? lol Why? Again: As if I'd smacked 'em. Although I do try to respect other people's sensibilities and sensitivities when I know about them, best I can, and while I don't think I'm all that foul-mouthed in general, for me certain words have indeed kinda become part of our vernacular...to a point where I'd be hard-pressed to give enough energy and attention to eliminating them from my vocabularly...lol... |

omg...lololol...please, Nevada, for the sake of *Reality*: *Respect that you will never be the Owner/Moderator of any of this Forum's boards,* stop acting out the juvenile charade that you are, and leave doing so to the Forum's owner? I know, I'm asking the impossible, but I seem to be on a roll with that, so...I let it fly... |
