setting a watchman

[Thumpalumpacus]

I love how "stumped"-alumpacus thinks that his narrow minded POV can only be the only POV when he posts a simple picture.

For instance stumpy may see an impossible situation to get out of, while i see an opportunity to engage someone on a different plan of thought.

Stumps: "digging a hole he can't get out of"

Me: Not my hole. As such not afraid to talk about it.

lol, I'm not stumped about anything. Your "plan of thought" (whatever that means!) is hampered by your limited thought itself. As I said earlier in this thread, it is an homage to post hoc thinking.

I understand that there are other opinions besides my own; I just don't classify the ones you've posted here as meriting much discussion at all, because you seem terribly ignorant of facts. And opinions without facts strike me as simply one more jackoff on the Interwebz shouting into the wind. You're clearly unaware of even simple facts like Africa being very resource-rich, and also showing that you're unable to synthesize information such as the effects of colonialism on the continent, or its residual effects in terms of corporate leasing of those resources. There's a reason why Nigeria, with copious oil reserves, is still relatively poverty-stricken, and it's due to the fact that colonialism installed companies to harvest resources while the people who live there are still left in poverty.

But for some Reason™, you'd prefer to ascribe it to race.

If you want engagement, you'll need to offer substance. Until then you only merit scorn, contempt, and mockery.

Don't like it? Do something about it.

From my perspective, when the only things you can do are toss up ahisotrical opinions and make fun of my name like the second-grader you are mentally, you're only reinforcing my view that your views don't merit serious consideration.

It's not my problem, but you're welcome to spend another hour replying with anther wallofshit.

1) I identify slavery as being a morally neutral institution   equal.

Of course you do. If you acknowledged slavery for the evil that it was and is, you'd have to acknowledge that the society your little god set up (according to the Old Testament) is evil in part as well; you'd have to deny the alleged perfection of your god, and you cannot do that, because that alleged moral perfection is the crux of your belief.

If your Bible were shown to be correct, your god would be shown to be evil. You cannot admit that, so instead you prefer slavery-apologetics.

Shit like this is exactly why religion is a negative influence on humanity. You'd rather justify owning people than admit error. And that makes you a cunt.
