>My paper has nothing to do with section 8 or chapter 8.

That's good. Please don't try to claim to know about either.

>PTSD is heavily linked to batshit crazy. But I do know the difference.

No. No. It's not. PTSD is the human psyche's response to an unnatural situation. It's a coping mechanism. It is 180* from batshit crazy. Please - if you are going to write this paper? Get some good sources... On Killing is a good place to start and then you can google your local county's vet rep (usually unemployment offices in the county will have one) and then? Get you head out of you ass.

>No, I have not "served", but I have enlisted. So officially, I am in the military. Or air force, if you will.

OMG. PLEASE go tell someone serving that you made it through MEPS so you're in the military. Please tell someone from another branch - or shit - go talk to another recruiter from another branch - and tell them you're "in the military" because you processed for the Air Force.

You do know that untill you're at basic that there isn't anything anyone can do to you, right? You may be a DEP but that is just a piece of paper and a promise to your recruiter. No one is going to show up if you don't go into your little admin job for the Air Force in a couple of months.... but - good on ya! I'm so proud that some little college kid thinks he's special because he signed a piece of paper and now he's "in the military." LOL

>My paper will have nothing to do with my experience.

That's good. Because you don't have any but apparently you think that anyone with PTSD is batshit crazy? Hmmm... are you a little biased? Wow. You will have some fun with your Top 3.

>Its solely based on my research and veterans testimony's.

"veteran testimony" is what you meant to type. You need to read some real world resources and not think PTSD is a mental disease. It's a normal response to an abnormal situation. Until you understand that? I can't help you


Thanks for thinking you're in the military and you can "speak for us".... SMH....

I know I'm late to the party, if this gets under your skin read Lies my Teacher Told Me. The author reviews key points in history like this and what several history books say. Not only does it expand on this it goes deeper than what I thought I knew.

A great read I highly recommend!

Yes! Thank you for understanding. I think I'd actually be pretty useful to have. More pictures here: https://www.amazon.com/CHEEDAY-Anti-lost-Wireless-Bluetooth-Earphones/dp/B07193X2M8

If you truly believe that, I encourage you to study the origins of science and the beginnings of the so-called "conflict thesis" that you are taking as true. This book might be an interesting place to start: https://www.amazon.com/When-Science-Christianity-David-Lindberg/dp/0226482162.

Are you sure you went to a Catholic school? I went through Catholic school and was taught the Big Bang theory in Theology as what most likely happened.

Was also taught natural selection and evolution in Biology.

>According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (#337), the book of Genesis "symbolically" presents God's work of creation. In other words, the Biblical story of creation is like a parable in that the plot does not have to be literally true in order for the story to convey profound religious truths, such as the sequential and increasingly complex nature of God's creative activity. Interestingly, the idea of evolution seems to be supported by Genesis 1:24, which states, "Let the earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures." Genesis does not say that God directly created plants and animals in their final form, only that they came forth from "the earth."

I would throw in more stuff but I am lazy and at work.

I like to keep it simple and reliable. This pistol is great and hits like a champ. Plus cheap as hell.

The "right" conclusion? We're back to objective morality again...

I'm semi-serious. It may well be the case that eating vegetables is also considered barbaric. However, I'm not the one claiming equivalency between plant life and animal life. Taking your own argument to the logical conclusion, though, does it not make more sense to simply commit suicide? After all, if you will eat many thousands of plants in your lifetime then you are better off minimizing those plant casualties by dying early. Since that's plainly an absurd position, I posit that there is not an equivalence: not all lives are equal.

That said, the current state of neuroscience is not the end-state of neuroscience. Studies suggest there may well be plant intelligence. To rely on the current state of a branch of science as your bedrock for an apparently objective morality is flawed due to the inherent mutability of scientific knowledge. As the science changes your morality will be forced to do so too.

Now I did explain my own position earlier to you:
>Outside actual food taste, the closer something is to being "me" the more distasteful I find the concept of eating it.
Other humans are pretty close to being actually "me" so I find the concept distasteful, but I would do it under certain circumstances.
Chickens are pretty far from being "me" so I don't find the concept distasteful at all.

>The "right" conclusion? We're back to objective morality again...

And back to the fact that you know nothing about metaethics and are merely assuming that there's no objective morality.


>I'm semi-serious. It may well be the case that eating vegetables is also considered barbaric. However, I'm not the one claiming equivalency between plant life and animal life.

I'm not claiming that either. I'm just saying that if plants feel, then going vegan still is the best way to reduce suffering and death of sentient life.

>Taking your own argument to the logical conclusion, though, does it not make more sense to simply commit suicide?

Nope.

>After all, if you will eat many thousands of plants in your lifetime then you are better off minimizing those plant casualties by dying early. Since that's plainly an absurd position, I posit that there is not an equivalence: not all lives are equal.

I agree, eating plants is fine. I was showing how your position didn't make sense. I don't think plants feel or think.


>That said, the current state of neuroscience is not the end-state of neuroscience. Studies suggest there may well be plant intelligence.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_perception_(paranormal)

"Plant perception or biocommunication is the paranormal idea that plants are sentient, that they respond to humans in a manner that amounts to ESP, and that they experience pain and fear. The idea is not accepted, as plants lack nervous systems.[1][2][3][4]Paranormal claims in regard to plant perception are considered to be pseudoscience by many in the scientific community.[1][2][5][6]"

> To rely on the current state of a branch of science as your bedrock for an apparently objective morality is flawed due to the inherent mutability of scientific knowledge. As the science changes your morality will be forced to do so too.

Again, even if plants are sentient, going vegan and eating plants directly is still the best way to reduce suffering and death of sentient life.

>Now I did explain my own position earlier to you:
>>Outside actual food taste, the closer something is to being "me" the more distasteful I find the concept of eating it.
>Other humans are pretty close to being actually "me" so I find the concept distasteful, but I would do it under certain circumstances.
>Chickens are pretty far from being "me" so I don't find the concept distasteful at all.

So it's more okay to eat someone with a different skin color than it is to eat someone who is the same race as you?

Genesis 19:1-28

This book is an AMAZING discussion of some of the more fucked up parts of the Old Testament, like Levirite marriage/Onanism (aka why you can't masturbate), the Rape of Dinah, and Tamar and Judah. I met the author, and he is a smart, funny guy. Like me, he's a practicing Jew, and he can also see how ridiculous and fucked up some of our stories are. I learned a lot from him/his book.

To be fair it is a Bluetooth speaker it's just probably not the best choice of one for a vehicle.

Start with the Third Reich Trilogy by Richard J. Evans. In those three books you can read about how NSDAP and the nazi ideology came to be, what the the nazis wanted to do and what they did.

John Diamond (a journalist) wrote about this after he was diagnosed with cancer. I haven't read the book myself, but I've heard decent things.

u/TheLiberator117 · 9 pointsr/facepalm

realistically, none have happened yet. The USSR had its merits but it wasn't a fully Marxist state, in fact Marx would have hated the USSR probably. If a sane person instead of stalin was at the helm of the USSR in the 30s and 40s maybe it wouldn't have been as bad with the genocide and all. However, the stereotypical image of the USSR is the bread line right, well for a significant chunk of the time that was wrong and there were none, not from the 40s to the 80s. If you want a really good book about early soviet structure and society I would recommend behind the urals by John Scott ( https://www.amazon.com/Behind-Urals-American-Worker-Russias/dp/0253205360 ) he has a bit of a leftist view but he makes no attempt to disguise the problems and the feelings in the soviet union. I could go on for hours about why the USSR failed and why other states turning to more socialist principals wouldn't (Sweeden hello!) but I am actually writing a paper about that now. If you would like you can PM me if I wasn't clear on anything I would be happy to explain in depth, I am rushing a bit through this response to get back to that paper though. Like I said just PM me any questions you may have.
