Number Theory

Um...

"The North Korean leader is also apparently taking defensive measures to prevent intelligence agencies from trying to glean information about his health: He’s packed his own toilet.

The regime dispatched a commode to “deny determined sewer divers insights into to the supreme leader's stools,” The Chosunilbo, one of South Korea’s biggest circulated newspapers, reports.

It’s not unusual for the hermetic kingdom’s leader to travel with his own toilet in his infrequent travels."

Kim Jong Un's toilet: North Korean leader brings toilet to summit
Western news are so silly! North Korea, best Korea :)
 
yes, the ‘beacon’ of light!

Now it's a bad thing to want to save electricity and save the planet?!

Yes, it's a bad thing. It's exactly what the climate alarmist political movement want's for the world, that we should all be as poor and helpless as the peasants in NK.
 
Western ideals at it's finest.

The belief that being poor and helpless is a bad thing? I really doubt that's an ideal limited to western cultures. Though only in rich western cultures can people afford to subscribe to neo-liberal thinking to believe and push for the exact opposite.

I am sorry but here is the thing, I consider your views to be ignorant. Therefore, if I consider you to be ignorant, it would be fruitless to explain to an ignorant person why they are ignorant.

I can try but it won't have an effect. Already tried this and at some point I become the ignorant one trying to explain to ignorant people why they are ignorant.

Poor? Because they don't have lights? Please define what poor means to you and how you deduced they were poor?
Helpless? How did you decide they are helpless?

And yet you continue to reply. Why would either of us be posting if we didn't consider the other to be the ignorant one?

Let's see... They own no property, because the state claims it all for itself, so they are poor. They lack the means to resist the state, one with a very murderous track record, so they are helpless.

Well I am giving you the benefit of a doubt! :)

I had no clue you were gonna go this direction :p Owning property and having lights on at night is what life is all about.

Resisting the state means taking up arms?


About the ignorant thing, can you write this? You can copy paste it if you wish.
"You may have a point Sworder, one shouldn't make a judgement based on perceived happiness, material wealth or luminescence. I guess it is possible some people in North Korea are 'richer' than some people here in the US. It depends on what 'rich' means to you. My definition of happy probably differs from somebody else's."

I was already aware of your propensity for taking my words out of context, but now you're just making shit up.

People in NK are slaves. They own nothing at all, because everything they produce belongs to the state. They also possess no means of resisting the state, through force or legal redress.

In this thread I have made exactly zero comments on happiness, perceived happiness, material wealth or luminescence. You should try responding to what I post instead of rewriting my posts to fit your response.

Oh really I am? Last chance to copy and paste the statement I posted:

To be honest, if you did the same to me. Posted your values and asked me to repeat. I don't think I could, it's a peculiar feeling huh?:)

Your values are bleeding through your words.

That's similar to saying that you can't tell if a person is angry unless they say "I am angry." Body language and other non-verbals give everything away!

Hey, look at that, we agree on something. I'll take it a little further and say not only would you not repeat my values, you are unable to comprehend them. Self determination is an alien concept to some.

The last time you suspected I was in a bad mood, I wasn't. Nor am I now. Your claimed ability to determine a person's state of mind or other characteristics is pretty lame as you have proven many times with numerous members here. I suspect it stems from your inability to read and understand what people write.

Now that I have responded to your straw men, how about responding to what I actually wrote in my previous posts. If you can.

What are your values?

How does God view the whole population of humans? Are we all equal?

I already gave you my values: self determination.

I never met God, not even on the corner of first and Armistad. But if you're interested in what I personally think about equality, I would say, free men are not equal, and equal men are not free. It works the same with gender neutral language, I'm just too lazy to rephrase it.

So when you raised your child, you didn't tell him anything about morals and values etc?

Ah okay, interesting. Are they equal men for life or can they be freed?

You really can't be that dense. I'm just going to assume you're pretending to be stupid, which fits in well with your behavior in the wife beating thread. If you're not pretending, then I apologize for wasting your time with reasoned arguments, as I didn't previously realize your ability to reason was so limited.
