The sort of old-fashioned and outmoded thinking that leads to suppression of rights and freedoms in favor of centralized power and control. What did you think lead to the lack of jobs and money and freedom?
The people revolt because lack of job, of money and freedom.
What religion has to do with that only Santa knows.
Little Rik Wrote:Not being dead allows you to advance but allow doesn't mean that you advance.Correct. It makes progress possible, and therefore is a sign of progress in itself. Pretending that losing the option to advance is meaningless is so bizarre that the only reason to do so is because you don't want to admit you were wrong.
Little Rik Wrote:The reason why i am telling you that you got big expectation is because you pretend to have physical evidence of something that is abstract and not physical.We've been through this. You admit you have no way to prove what you are claiming, and I am pointing out that this means your claims are worthless. Why you continue to make claims that you know are worthless is beyond me, but repeating them does not make them any less so.
Little Rik Wrote:I said that the official statistics do not take into account the real happening but only what goes on mainly in the western countries.No, that isn't what you said. You accepted statistics and numbers until they did not support your claims, then you decided that statistics can't be trusted because some man-on-the-street in a third-world country knows better. That's stupid. It's a sign of how desperate you are to hold onto your worldview. Keep this in mind the next time you try to mention statistics.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
