China's BRI - is what it's cracked up to be

Oh, I don't **** with churches, other than to vandalize their signs.DeezerShoove » Today, 7:17 am » wrote: ↑ I don't believe Bammy is as erudite as all that. He spoke from a teleprompter that spewed crafted verbiage to a known set of hillbillies and ghetto blacks.
He just wanted the rich **** to realize they used the peons (to whom he was pandering) and didn't deserve to be elitists. And that they should appreciate the common clay (peons) upon which they walked. It was all political pandering in my view.
Plato's Ideal Sphere isn't something I'm familiar with. But, the concept of the perfect design as a goal I'm familiar with. It cannot be achieved but it can ALWAYS be a goal. Seems in the ballpark. The society/culture that creations come from is a double-edge sword: You build on the shoulders of giants (previous successes) while limited by the realities of resources and materials. Society/culture assists and limits simultaneously. Technologies, experience, knowledge, missteps, societal mood, etc. all evolve (or devolve).
To bluntly tell an ironworker or ER doctor, et al, their efforts don't mean **** is a Kris K. moment.
Bammy should have worked on the speech a couple more minutes.
btw
I have never completely abandoned the view of a spiritual life. I think it's a cringeworthy moment when people conjoin the spiritual with the religion (then utterly dismiss others that see them as separate facets of life). Being spiritual IS the belief upon which a religion rests. A "true believer" cannot question his faith unless his spiritual side has a dent in it.
Belonging to a Club that reads from the Book then sets up rules for their regular meetings. . . not at all for me. Religion and spiritualism have always had separate shelves in my closet. There is no which-came-first joke here.
Like they will have, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." I will pull the letters down and change it to, "The war is my Lord and ****."
The only church I would ever consider joining is the Westboro Baptist Church. My kind of folks - real assholes.
That, or maybe one other. Y'see, there is a "First Baptist" in every podunk **** in the bible belt, the rust belt, the incest belt and the corn belt. First Baptist this, First Baptist that - and never, ever, EVER have I seen a Second Baptist. So that is the other church I would consider joining. The Second Baptist.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
