There are no tapes of the Wannsee conference. I will not say that you are antisemitic in this forum, but Holocaust denial is pretty much axiomatically anti-Semitic, because it requires the belief that all European Jews from the mid 20th century were incredible liars.
I didn’t say it was superior to real coffee, but it’s drinkable. There are worse travesties (processed cheese, for example).
Perhaps a better statement would be “The origin of all real property is in theft from the common weal” - meaning that no-one creates real estate ex nihilo. In order for anyone to own property, they have to deprive everyone else of ownership.
Conversely, “free access to the use of property is economic freedom” is a better rephrasing of the second statement. They are not contradictory - one speaks of the origins of the current capitalist state of affairs, one speaks of a desired noncapitalist ideal.
Or if we want to keep it pithy: “Property Has Been Theft! Property Can Be Freedom!”
It’s NOT drinkable, though; it’s a powder. Only liquids are drinkable.
Once it’s been reconstituted into a liquid state, it’s no longer INSTANT COFFEE; it’s simply coffee-that-doesn’t-taste-very-good.
No-terr DAYME is a gibberish string of syllables with no meaning; the correct pronunciation of the name of the University in South Bend, IN, is NOH-truh DAHM. Seemingly everyone else in the country insists on sayinng it wrong.
Other than that, I hold no views that could reasonably be considered blasphemous; my views are the default, and those that diverge are outliers.
Hey, take it easy man! What did processed cheese ever do to you?
A can of Rotel extra spicy and a hunk of Velveeta make an excellent cheese dip.
Better yet, when *you *get TB or lung cancer, let everybody know how the doctors cured you.
Well, apparently not…
And, if that were the case, which it isn’t, how does thinking that they were incredible liars means that I am anti-Semitic?
answer: it doesn’t. There is no correlation. Look for somebody else to buzz.
Beyoncé is a decent dancer who can hold a tune. Otherwise she isn’t terribly interesting.
Actually, no, you’re not committing blasphemy. In order to commit blasphemy, you have to show contempt or disrespect for God, and you really CAN’T show genuine contempt or disrespect to someone you don’t think exists.
As Chesterton put it, it’s hard to be a true blasphemer, and if you don’t believe that, try thinking blasphemous thoughts about Thor.
Sure, you can make yourself SAY “Thor was the scum of the Earth” or “Isis was a ho” or “Rama is a dick,” but your heart isn’t really in it, now, is it?
That country music is really music.
Isn’t South Bend on the way from day-TRWAH to day-MWAHN?
Oh, if we’re talking that type of blasphemy… I think Necco wafers are yummy. Conversation hearts are pretty good too, but I’ve never understood why they felt the need to alter the standard flavor lineup (i.e., making the white hearts wintergreen instead of cinnamon, and making the pink hearts some unknown flavor instead of wintergreen).
Thank you for expanding on that. Your explanation makes sense (and I can somewhat agree, in a descriptive, if not normative, way.)
Is it our fault the bloody Frogs don’t use a single letter of the Latin alphabet the way the Romans intended?
Marvel Comics managed it.
I can see where that can be seen as blasphemy (and I disagree with it personally) but I recognize that this thread is about stating controversial opinions and not thread-sh-tting all over them or calling people names.
Has anyone ever been cured of lung cancer? I don’t know of anyone.
There are some diseases whose outcome is the same whether they are treated or not, and this is one of them. Pancreatic cancer, too. Palliative treatment and comfort care are fine and do enhance quality of life, but aggressive treatment for a disease that’s going to be fatal in a matter of months anyway?
