It's a stupid question.


No, we are not all alike. Each individual if they will be themselves is unique. Sir,,,you are full of shyt and intellectually dishonest. Like bones said, you like to play games with the notion you are being clever. My suggestion, get over yourself you're not as clever as you think.


Neither are you ******* so bite me.


At least I do not repeat the same garbage you do over and over.

I see where the OP is going with this. There was a sense of justice and morality in the US at one time, but the computer/communications age has made it damn near impossible for people to continue maintaining the illusion. Because that's all it's ever been is an illusion.
One man's morality is another man's murder.



Listen to one of your own.

True that. You, for example, are unlucky enough to be cursed to eternally ask questions using undefined terms and false facts, productive of nothing.


And you are cursed to write nothing and continue to seek a life.

Here's an example of nice, moral vigilantism in Real America:

‘Worst nightmare': Woman with concealed gun permit shoots at fleeing shoplifter outside Home Depot

By Michael E. Miller October 8

America is as always in the midst of a bitter debate over guns.
In the wake of last week’s mass shooting in Oregon, gun control advocates called for new restrictions on weapons as a way of preventing such tragedies. President Obama vowed to push for tighter gun control. Ian Mercer, the father of Oregon shooter Chris Harper Mercer, lent his support to the idea. “If Chris had not been able to get hold of 13 guns, this wouldn’t have happened,” he told CNN.
Gun rights advocates argued this approach was all wrong. The answer to mass shootings wasn’t less guns; it was more. More guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens who could stop active shooters before they start slaughtering innocents.
Now an interesting example has been tossed into the middle of this ideological tussle.
On Tuesday, customers were coming and going in the parking lot of a Home Depot near Detroit when a shoplifter suddenly came tearing across the blacktop. The shoplifter, who appeared to be in his 40s and wore a black shirt and hat, was pushing a cart full of stolen power tools and welding equipment worth more than $1,000.
As a Home Depot loss prevention officer came running after him, the shoplifter shoved the stolen goods into a waiting black SUV and jumped in.
That’s when a female bystander pulled out a concealed pistol and fired several shots at the fleeing shoplifters, possibly striking one of the SUV’s rear tires.
The shoplifters nonetheless escaped, according to a press release from the Auburn Hills Police Department.
The female shooter stayed at the scene and is cooperating fully with the investigation, according to police. Cops have not identified her but have said she is 46 years old, from the nearby city of Clarkston and holds a valid concealed pistol license.

1% now wealthier than 99% combined; 40% of US children in poverty; 30,000 children poverty-murdered daily. Arrests of .01% are when now???


Scientific confirmation of the termination of American justice and morality. Of course we can assign virtually the same condition to the whole of the west the USA being only the lump stuck to the top of the disgusting heap of trash culture. Lap dancing for Jesus at 5:42 right after the news.

Um, question? How is he "one of my own"?


You are a non-believer are you not?


If you are a believer then please ignore my last.

Hardly an eye for an eye. Perhaps the woman forgot that stores have insurance.


Strange how we see trained military personnel return from killing all mentally screwed up, and meanwhile, a woman can think she can kill and walk away mentally sound.

Thanks for this.

You're the one singing the praises of vigilantism.

I guess, though I don't recollect anybody saying anything about no woman killing people.

Maybe you didn't read the article real close.

The American Constitution is the purest product of the Enlightenment. That is a system of thought based on the supremacy of reason and scepticism.. especially of God.

Many of the framers of that Constitution were Deists.. and viewed God only as an abstraction.. an emblem for a compendium of natural laws with no supernatural character. America was itself a model of hypocrisy, built on the slave economy from which many of the American Fathers relied on for their fortunes.

Epochs of the This type last about 250 years. We see the Englightenment fragmenting and collapsing around us. We see the U.S. entering a profound crisis. Within 50 years we will see a much different America.. with its confidence in itself as symbol of human destiny.. and with a Global responsibility to clone itself in other nations.. smashed to bits.

It will just be trying to survive and reinvent itself.. it's Superpower status a thing of the past.

The American sense of justice and morality is dead. Do you agree?

The American people: I think is like other peoples of the world: there is much goodness and justice loving and freedom of thinking and the specific feature of the American people is: helping each other.
So if one cries for help, the rest of people will rush to his help: so this is a very good manner: I only observed it in movies or films !
The other good feature is loving the adventure.

But the government is wicked and aligned with the transgressors and falling under the obvious influence of Tel Aviv and their lobby.

Look at the graph I put in the O.P. again and tell us again how the super-rich Americans are helping the poor.


True that none would likely walk by and ignore a cry for help but those who can help are way too far up the pyramid to hear those way way far below.

Somewhat. I would have written "The world's sense of justice and morality is ailing to a substantial degree. Do you agree?".



I recognize that I am not as politically correct as some.


That is what happens when poorly raised in a hard rock mining town where every third work is not printable here.


There is also no way we would have our women behind us where we can't keep a good eye on them.

No. Politically correct is more when you want to insult in a (sort of) sneaky way.


I cannot even express this thinking well but this guy can.

I was looking for yes or no, hot or cold answers. Your way would have produced a bunch of lukewarm politically correct answerers, --- I think.


That was the logic anyway. These things cannot be predicted that well and I just let my creative juices free reign without overthinking.

Well, you demonstrate that the best way to avoid overthinking is to avoid thinking entirely, preferring to ask yes/no, black/white, nothing-in-between questions.

In some circles it is by and large I do not agree. Most of the American population
is still pretty sound. We have losers on the Republican Right and yes the Radical
Left. The vast majority measures up to be pretty good folk.
I do think the political people in leadership are out to lunch but they are not
representative of the nation anymore

You are a non-believer are you not?
I am simply not religious. There may or may not be some kind of "Creator" but I'm not going to put any stock in the idea that he/she/it is watching us with a vengeful eye or holds us to some kind of moral code.


In the Old Testament, one had to offer a sacrifice to God in order to receive his blessing or forgiveness, ie; appease him. This is an ancient practice that long predates Judaism. People made sacrifices to sun gods, and moon gods and water gods and mountain gods and sky gods and blah blah blah.


If God did indeed create everything, then with an almost limitless universe, it seems highly unlikely he'd be so preoccupied with a bunch of apes inhabiting a blue marble in some backwater of a non-descript galaxy.
