Wars are Always Bad No Matter Who Starts Them
Human wars have actually solved some problems, as in the past civilization controlled their population growth and eliminated too many young men of breading age which would cause chaos for those civilizations, so it probably did help in that regard and solve a problem of potential over population.Another reason past civilizations so heavily promoted wars with nearby societies and civilizations allowing both parties to war to prevent collapse of their civilization, Unfortunately in the present period this war like human events causes chaos of another type due to the incredible destructive power of modern weapons of war.America is the greatest nation in the World and sometimes when other nations do not listen, will not sit down to discuss things or are highly combative then political talks break down, when this leads to war it is indeed a tragedy.Read more…Issues with Un-Earned Status of Power Elite Families in America
Many complain that there are members of wealthy families who are put into positions of power in government and multi-national conglomerate corporations who have not earned their place. In other words they have never earned their status they say. In debating this topic recently in an online think tank one gentleman stated;“They are not better men than I and my fellows, if they have better education it is because they had better opportunity for such through often repugnant and clandestine acts of their forebears, that they have greater wealth than I is largely due to their forebears willingness to conduct their affairs in businesses that my forebears reviled at.Read more…If a Father Dies in a War Their Kids Will Hate You
Many say that the United States should not go to war with nations such as Iraq, Iran or North Korea because it fosters another generational cycle of hate and thus more wars. This is a good philosophical argument indeed. Wars should not be the first choice in human political conflict or culture clashes.Read more…Good Countries and Bad People Dialogue

"Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world.We cannot cure the world of sorrows,but we can choose to live in joy." - Joseph CampbellOne of the greatest paradoxes of all times.Read more…Putting Natural Processes in Context
As a thought experiment, let us ask: What did God have to do to make the universe? In the broadest possible sense, the question of emergence is how the radically nonclassical world of quantum mechanics — or quantum gravity — gave rise to the world of classical physics, which in turn gave rise to complex biological systems, which in turn gave rise to conscious beings like us.“Strong emergence” is the view that rejects both reductionism and dualism and claims to occupy a middle ground.Read more…The Connection between Life and Chess Symbolized by Artist Justin Michael Jenkins
When we study the game of chess, we find many fascinating structures and complex mathematical laws that predominate the various pathways of movement between both sides of pieces. The game of chess is perhaps the closest microcosmic representation of life and the universe in game form. The game begins with two opposing sides of various pieces that mirror each other and have a unique ability to move around the board and attack.Read more…The Ghost Cat in the Attic

The information has reached its “control age”, but religion’s crucial roles in the field of humanity are still prevailing. And to a more surprising fact, to me, the world is on a fringe of ideological conflicts or differences.Reading a lot of philosophy and history materials, I have found that Buddhism has been accused of being “socialism initiative.Read more…The End of the World - or is it?

If is a wide held fact that Rome fell during a slave revolt while people were partying and frolicking; does this mean that while men are busy loving other men and carrying on in a Homosexual Way that those less privileged in a lower created class of people will revolt?Well the Roman Empire fall is a fear tactic to insight fear in the voters in an on-going controversy over gay marriage and economic enslavement of illegal alien workers. Thought I would just throw it in for fun, as it has been discussed at least philosophically by others in Internet forums and in Blogs.Read more…Everyone Demands Respect Get Use to It!
Do you ever find yourself troubled at the number of groups or categories of people who demand respect, without doing even one thing to earn it? No mind you we should be tolerant of others, but respect you know, well mostly that has to be earned.Recently a gay activist told me that gays should be allowed to get married and have respect.Read more…Many People Complain About US Overseas Policies
Often people complain about the United States of America and our over seas policies and they will start pointing out some of the things which were not so good, without recounting the total reality of the situation or what really happened leading up to such events. And just so you know where I am coming from I support the United States of America in their efforts to protect the American People.I support whatever they must do in this otherwise crazy Machiavellian World where guns, drugs, arms and sex trade are often used instead of currency and where brutal dictators do anything to stay in power.Read more…Politically Correct Terms Go In and Out of Style

Everyone knows Iraq is a dangerous place for a reporter, volunteer or an American and it does not matter if you are a soldier, businessman or volunteer. If you are a woman, well even more so, as Western women do not follow the norms of their culture there in the Arab world.You know if someone is working for the Christian Science Monitor in Iraq, running around with a cross on them and talking about Jesus, and I do not know if she was or not, but I would assume she would be instantly identified as a target.Read more…Positive Aspects behind Problem-Crazing

A book called the Seven Daughters of Eve by Richard Sykes is worthy of a read and talks about what we have learned about the flow of human beings populations through DNA research. Thus it is safe to say that certain members of our species have developed differently and in different ways, meaning the brain also learns differently. As Scientists look at different human brains while doing various tasks and watch which areas light up with energy as it works through these different thoughts and tasks we are finding just how unique and different each mind really is.
