Steve,

Guns are used to prevent wars and killing. Well except maybe you. If you had guns, you'd be the aggressor. Which is why we need guns to prevent you from being the aggressor.

I begin to beleive that you are a little bit crazy Jason simply endoctrinated with a kind of intelligent design and by your religious and political ideologies, I loose my time to be frank, this group is not made to discuss about personal things after all , it is general, be democrate and black and love Obama lol and maybe you could post interesting global solutions rational, universal and deterministic but I doubt now, peace and love ,without guns of course

lol maybe you beleive that we are going to have an apocalypse and we must fight the evil with gubs in the name of God ? it is like this that the extremist muslims think , it is not the real message of God, be sure , you fear simply , and you are too much endoctrinated unfortunally, this planet will be better with the real universal conscious persons, not the people following extreme ideologies. It is troublesome for all except for those exercising them , hope we shall have a sad WW3 due to these religions ,

you are simply weak and afraid for me in conclusion, you are scared to death my friend , it is the same problem that leads to bullying

it is well what I thought, you are scared to death , you fear and you are parano simply

yes you are unfortunally , but you can give your scaredness to god lol and take his big trust and LOVE and live peacefully here on Earth.

People need guns to defend themselves from bullies.

Dear all,

This thread has veered heavily off-topic, and included apparent implications of proposed genocide. As such I am issuing a single warning: Interact with one another without resorting to insult, insinuation of repressive manipulation or bullying. The alternative is that I will directly enforce the terms and conditions of use of the FQXi forums.

I do not have the time nor the patience to police this kind of debate, nor will I adjudicate any squabbles here. I reiterate that this is the only warning you will get.

Direct replies to this post will be deleted. Interact with respect or not at all.

Mr Sloan, you are right, all is deleted, this forum is not for this kind of discussion, regards, thanks also for this professionalism , friendly

We must respect the rules and what tell us Mr Sloan, we have exagerated between us Jason, I wish you all the best, even if we disagree I like you really, friendly

Hi Steve,

My position hasn't changed. I still hold those two basic principles of respecting freedom, rights, and also allowing people the freedom to pursue wealth through Capitalism.

Any drama that may have occurred is merely an indication that my position is firm.

:)

:) I accept your choice and I am tolerant, I prefer that we discuss about global solutions and not about politics and religions , so could you tell me if you have interesting solutions to improve this planet , all can be analysed, the economy, the ecology, the technology, the system of education, .... the most important is the general system and specially new and innovative ideas, regards

The tolerant solutions are all about allowing people their religious and political freedoms. These same lessons have been playing out for thousands of years.

I can understand but please let s develop concrete solutions for the globality if you have solutions rational , regards

17 Goals to Transform Our World

The Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries - poor, rich and middle-income - to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.

Can these different areas be discussed?Attachment #1: Screenshot_2020-08-26_The_Sustainable_Development_Goals_Our_Framework_for_COVID-19_Recovery.png

    Thanks Ulla it is very relevant these 17 goals of program of the UN , the sustainability is so important.

    Hi Ulla,

    I'm stuck on the first one "no poverty". I mean, what if someone doesn't want to work? Are you going to just give that money, food and a place to live? Who is going to pay for it?
