Phones are recording devices for speeches and other productions.

Phones access the greatest library of knowledge ever.

Phones can record notes.

Phones can translate.

Phones communicate with experts.

Phones are response devices.

Banning cell phones is absolutely ridiculous.

They are a symptom, not a disease.

Incidents of pencil break have gone down since the advent of cell phones.

How long before we implement the Robocop program?

Why are so many people so confidently wrong?

Instead of blocking websites or banning AI, teach students to value themselves and their creativity. Give them a reason to write.

When we ban marriage, then we can more easily conquer them and force them to work as teacher aides, property managers, and grocers?

Not against what you describe. You have an army of Mr. Smiths against you according to the links you have given. I prefer my tasks to be more manageable.

I mean it. I hope you find peace. The depth of state you are talking about will crush your submersible.

No, but is because it is our only foothold in the middle east and there is a strong voting block in the US.

This is why we should put conspiracy theories aside and focus on real problems.

Get some help.

If this is true, then there is nothing you can do. Either it is too big to work or too big to fail.

Enjoy the matrix, because we are doomed.

😇 Bless your heart.

I did not know this, but it changes nothing. The conspiracy theory is anti-semitic. I did not say you were. I only skimmed it, but it seemed like a list of Jews. Dig deep enough in any conspiracy theory, and you find anti-semitism. This one has it on the surface.

I'll discuss it. This is total bullshit. There is no way that a conspiracy that big could be run and kept secret by humans. This is anti-semitic and a waste of time when we have actual enemies of the state in the oval office putting military in the streets.

Then you understand. I feel my way of seeing things is a better way of framing the problem and curbing the behavior in the future. Recognizing that the monster is us, and you dont have to wait until we kill a child to do something.

Why would I want to negate an argument for human rights?

Calling Israelis monsters is to pretend that it takes a special type of human to commit these crimes. It doesn't. If adequately provoked, we will act this way. To pretend otherwise makes us vulnerable to the same mistake.

I don't think Virgil is hateful, but we are all capable of it.

I assume you are suggesting I commit suicide? This kind of proves my point. It only takes a couple of posts, and you are calling for my death. A very human response.

I did not say anyone was anti-semitic.

I don't think I said that we should not condemn Israel. My only point is that these are acts of human beings, and to pretend that they are any different from other human beings is wrong.

You are not understanding. I'm just saying that there is nothing unusual about Nazis or Israel or South Africa or Britain, or Rwanda, or the US. This is what humans do. It is a human problem that needs to be solved by humans. Stop trying to distance yourself from it.

Is there another way?

The humans.

Finally, I am not advocating tolerance. Clearly, these behaviors are bad for society, other humans, and we must endeavor to end them.

My point is that the crimes are commited by humans like you and me.

If the people that commit the crimes are not human, the only reasonable punishment is death.

Is robbery, vandalism, immigration, or fraud monstrous? What about driving a car? Buying products?

Humanity is not something I can fight for. It is nature. Of course pedophiles, rapist and murderers are human because those are anti-social behaviors and thus can only be committed by humans.

Calling someone human is not a compliment or insult.

Kind of like what you are doing now. What they are doing is a valid survival tactic. It is not one that I like, but it is well within the range of human behavior.

You can't strip humanity away. Nazis were human. They did not transcend.

If micro aggressions can cause harm, can micro compassions heal?
