This is one of the most difficult topics to speak on because people have been so long propagandized out of their gourds, and thus losing the ability to either think or believe what they see with their own eyes.

And in many ways, this topic is similar to C19 blindness where people could not see the idiocy of the most simple of things, like wearing the mask from the restaurant door to the table, taking it off while eating ... and then put the mask back on from the table to the exist the restaurant. Go figure!

When I was involved in formal debate in college, the first thing we had to get straight before even engaging in a moderated debate was getting our terms clearly defined. We had to be taught to be precise in our definitions and our use of language or the debate would veer away from the issues to a mish-mash of rhetoric that went nowhere. Today, this is a huge challenge.

Excellent point. In American, nothing is defined. Just be for this or that. It's the science. It is global warming. Nothing defined, no real history. And above all, no Godly moral order.

Well now! We will see come Vote day to President Installation Day.

And let's see. The Russians would be real smart to deliver Good-Bye Biden and the Cackling Animal Cracker a real disaster to sum of their incompetent Reign of Disasters. And Tulsi, God love here. She has a real heart.

I have always loved and respected Tulsi's stance and wondered how long she would be accepted in the Demoncratic Party.

If seeking clarity, absolutes and generalizations such as "...nothing is defined..." aren't helpful.

He is pointing out what is taking place. Not defining what is actually happening is one of the biggest problems today.

"Nothing" is an absolute. All inclusive. Everything/everywhere no exceptions, regardless to how is it applied - "taking place" or "defining."

Man cannot live without absolutes and generalizations without descending wholesale into chaos. Also, it may pointed out that all systems of taxonomy rely upon generalizations as to groupings. And in general, all systems of categorization rely upon a generalized understanding as to pertinent likenesses and dissimilarities.

Man will argue and debate this until time comes to an end.

God is absolute. The Universe is an absolute in that either it absolutely exists or it does not.

And if one falls off a 17 story building, the cement below is absolute. I know because I once upon a time saw a woman roll herself over the side of a penthouse wall and I absolutely heard the thud.
