If one king goes to war with another king because the other king rejected his proposal that their children marry, does that make it a big deal that everyone must weigh in on or have an opinion about?

It's a question of scale, not principle.

Elaborate on that. I mean, even in one religion, Christianity, proponents have slaughtered members of their own faith because of differences in denomination. Does that make these differences significant? One war, The Thirty Years War (Catholics vs Protestants), is one of the longest in European history. So if your looking for scale, lots of blood has been shed for what today we regard as an insignificant difference in religious practice.

Quote:Also, there are some New Age woo woo folks who think the moon is hollow. Astrophysicists do not agree with their assessment. Science has determined that the moon is pretty much solid rock. Does that make the rest of us "solidarians"? Thinking the moon is hollow is a big deal to some of these woo folks. To me, I'm like: "Meh. There's no evidence for what you think."

Quote:It was recently discovered that the moon has a magma center.
Ah, a fellow Solidarian. Nice to meet you, brother. And thanks for the magma core info... I didn't know.
