Why the US has so many Filipino nurses [youtube.com]

Hanno comments on Jul 26, 2020:

Hanno replies on Jul 27, 2020:

@M1959 What an ignorant stupid comment. NZ currently has a massive shortage of nurses, engineers and some trades peoples. We are actively recruiting overseas for these people. We cannot train then fast enough to help our growing country. Nurses are saving lives in NZ! They are growing our economy. Without them we would have the same problems the US would have if you did not take highly skilled immigrants.

@Pand0ro The issue is that the modern Democratic Party is socialist, they are not even denying it. To call someone a socialist is not an insult. Whereas the Republicans are not Fascist at all. To call someone a fascist is a very serious insult. Therefore the one is a deliberate smear to demonise a group, the other is a statement of fact.

@Corjova Your god MADE the Pharaos heart go hard. It was not his decision... god simply decided he will be bad and send him to hell. Exodus tells us that. You stated god is the manipulator of all. So people go to hell simply because your god decided that. There are very good Buddhists who live very good lives. They outright disregard Jesus as god... heaven or hell? Jesus (the perfect one) never stated that anyone good will go to heaven if not confessing Jesus as Lord.. Paul made that up more than 30 years later that it is not the case... who is lying? The mistake you make is that you CHOOSE to believe in this god. It reflects YOUR morals. I was an evangelical Christian for 34 years.... I looked very hard for a god... I still do. You are stating that young girls are forced to marry the men who murdered their parents, raped them and then to become part of a harem of wives are completely acceptable. Those are the moral you choose to believe in. And it is a choice... you have stated that. Or not... god manipulates, you also stated that. Go and tell that to all your friends above is all good and ISIS is just doing gods will. See their reaction. You see, atheists care about girls being raped by a king because we have not lost our natural morals due to the corruption of religion. You actually stated that rape is fine if done by a king on any of his subjects... again go and tell that to your friends. See, your own morals have been so corrupted by your believes that you are incapable of putting yourself in that girls shoes. Have you ever sat down and talked to rape victim? Atheists does not want anything... all we need is prove that your deity exist. Which god should we follow? Buddha, Jesus, Zeus, Hari Krishna... Not only have you not proved that, I proved that your god does not exist, using your own proof. Your God “regretted” the flood and said he made a mistake. This immediately means he is not ideal and hence not god. You then state my conscience is corrupted. Let’s compare. You now stated that murder of children, rape of girls and slavery are all good practices. Nothing wrong with that. Look in a mirror and tell yourself that. If you can do that, you are one sick individual.

I thought they were peaceful protests? The actual arrest rate is extremely low. 5. I Think she meant the intent... in Minneapolis it is meaningful 6. They were not arrested but they were searched and guns removed and all indications are that prosecutors are looking for reasons to prosecute... when they committed no crime. 7. There were several media reports that not only statues, but also libraries are racist and must be destroyed and rebuilt. They act of book burning was referenced in the media as a possible option.

@WilyRickWiles For Covid, all evidence shows that you are very unlikely to be contagious before symptoms. You are contagious because coughing and sneezing spread the germs... not just normal breathing and that is why masks are effective. Else, we will all be wearing masks ALL the time because you could be having any number of horrible and deadly diseases and infect others and don’t know it. All I am saying is that we should treat each disease on its merit... it appears that we decided to treat Covid very differently for no medical reason. Apparently this guy is not sick and just got some saliva “down the wrong hole” as we say. Masks would not have made any difference. Finally a lot of mask wearing people are getting sick, including Democrats... so maybe not wearing masks was not the reason.

The kids your god murdered never had the chance... or any one who dies before meeting a missionary ... according to your Bible they will go to hell. Or Jesus lied. Irrespective what life you lived... god just don’t care about them. The fact that then USA allows abortions does not make it OK. Egyptians had the world view and we vilify them for that. The fact that you think that your god is always right even when presented clear evidence that he is not always right and this case clearly wrong... is the reason you will never convert a real moral person... it is utterly reprehensible that you say the evil god does is ok because he is god. It is like saying the king can sleep with any young girl in the kingdom because he is king. And NO. Atheist does not reject god because they reject a proper consience. They reject god because he does not exist and the gods people created are all evil as your Bible attest. It is BECAUSE of my conscience that I reject your god. And finally, Moses was gods voice, he ordered the young innocent girls who were not all guilty to be kept as sex slaves.... your god if not ordered it, condoned it. Nice try quoting the wrong scripture... it is Numbers 31:18 that tells them to keep the young girls as sex slaves. The fact that you think that is OK says a lot about you and christians in general. But it is OK, keeping young girls for sex is OK if god say so... Ever heard of ISIS... you are no different.

@Corjova Yep, Those two year old baby boys sure learned the consequences of their actions! So to teach adults a lesson you murder two year old children and first borne... seriously... you think that is Ok? How is that morally acceptable in any world view? You don’t think killing the actual perpetrators of baby massacre would have been more effective (and moral) than killing the innocent first bornes who have done no wrong. So what about those first born... god just did not care about them? Unimportant sacrifice to teach a pharaoh a lesson who anyway then hardened his heart. God can predict through prophets the future but he didn’t see pharaoh hardening his heart coming? Killed all those first bornes for nothing. He still ended up killing pharaoh in the Red Sea. I did not ask Jesus to tell the Jews to continue in their illusion. I expect an ideal god to eloquently change their minds to the correct of thinking. And no, not brainwashing... But solid reasoning and evidence ... Like I am expecting from you. Ah, so now we all know the moral laws... Bible not required because now it is NOT a moral book? All these years atheists were told we cannot know right from wrong because we don’t read Bible... now we all knew all morals already... the very thing atheists have claimed and Christianity accused them of not knowing. So get your story straight. And no, slavery and abuse was not “mitigated”. Your god explicitly ordered the Israelites in book of Numbers to kill all Palestinians and to keep the young virgin girls as sex slaves. It was a direct command. That alone is enough reason to reject the Jewish/Christian god. I cite only a few examples... there are many more...care to discuss the flood, the daughters of Lot... the descendants of Ishmael, the son of David, Solomon and his 300 wife’s.... ah it just does not stop.

@WorldSigh 20 million Russians died just in WW2.. the actual death toll of the revolution, pre-WW2 purges, WW2 and then the the post war gulags and famine is estimated to be between 40 and 60 million. The total Chinese death toll through the civil war and subsequent cultural revolution and famine is more in the range of 100 million. Cambodia looks OK as I understand it and the others may be fair although the total loss it live N Korea is difficult as it had been going on for so long.

Hanno replies on Jul 11, 2020:

@Crikey, @Corjova Actually, in the last 20 years a lot of abiogenesis have been proven. We now know And have observed that all 20 amino acids are spontaneously created in deep sea vents. Similarly we now also have observed the formation of primitive fatty acid cell walls in these locations. This happens spontaneously all the time. These products are consumed by bacteria, however, it is completely reasonable that if there are no bacteria around... these building blocks will remain long enough to form complex compounds. In laboratories these conditions have been replicated and after only a few hundred hours RNA string fragments were formed without any intervention. RNA fragments have been shown to replicate spontaneously even if they are form non-life sources The uncertainty about abiogenesis have greatly reduced and there is a lot of evidence now that life indeed started in these deep sea vents.

Hanno replies on Jul 11, 2020:

@Corjova Let’s go back to your original definition of ideal... inasmuch to improve to an ideal state. Superman can be improved, in this case simply by making him impervious to Kryptonite. Superman is thus not ideal, he can be improved. Similarly Jesus can be improved and is not ideal. In your text Luke 4: 28-29. Would a better outcome not have been that Jesus convinced them in the synagogue and they all repent? No need to be dragged to cliff and leaving without changing anyone’s mind.So there is lots to improve on Jesus part. There are many instances where your god could be improved. He murdered thousands of innocent baby boys in Egypt. All he had to do was change the mind of the Pharaoh... or at least just killed the one evil heart. Your god had 42 little boys mauled to death by bears for teasing a man... would a better outcome not have been to punish them with a good hiding? Kids repent and lived happily ever after, now they are burning in hell? Your god had part of himself tortured to death in order to forgive our “sins”... would a more ideal god not just forgive as your god expect us to do? Oh and remember... slavery and sex with an underage child are not “sins”. Bible does not forbid that! Would an ideal god not clearly state those things are evil?

@Corjova You made the original statement why Jesus can’t be like Superman remember? You tried to pretend he is ideal etc? You still have not shown me how the ideal or perfection applied to your deity. I did that for your and proved to you your identity don’t exist using your proof. You still have not responded to that. So trying to convince me of Aquinas proof only shows that your deity does not exist as it fails that very proof. When you finally concede the proof is rubbish, you lost your proof... either way the scores remain 1-0. And yes, a straight line is what we call an idealised solution in physics. You may also discover that none of our solution or models of the real world are perfect and they all are only as good as we can observe and do the math. Your original answer contains many errors I pointed out. So far you only tried justify one ... the existence of ideal... in the natural world. I any case, for your proof to have any relevance you need to show your deity to be ideal.

@Corjova Hehe...how on earth is a straight line ideal or perfection? By the way, straight lines does not exist in nature. The closest we ever got was light in a vacuum, however it is bent by gravity and hence does not travel in a straight line. Mathematics does not need perfection to exist LOL. And yes, I got my hair colour from my parents... And my dads odd toes and my moms hair and my grandfathers eyes... it is called genetics. Supermen is NOT ideal... that’s the whole point of the cartoon... ever heard of kryptonite? Well, I must give you that... Jesus is like Superman: They are both imaginary characters who are very flawed and not ideal. In any case, you still have to disprove my proof that your choice in deity does not exist as I have shown you two posts ago. The scores are now 1-0 in my favour.

Hanno replies on Jul 8, 2020:

@Corjova Now let’s apply you “Proof” to your selected deity. Since you believe “Ideal” needs to exist let’s see how ideal your deity is. His/her book, the Bible is not ideal. It is full if errors. Historically The earth being 4000 years old etc. Morally the Bible never says slavery or sex with a child is wrong etc. Scientifically the sun rotate around the earth etc... So your Bible is not Ideal and hence fail your own test. Then your deity itself. He/she had to drown the whole world because it made the original humans wrong and had to start over. Your Bible tells us your deity regretted doing it. Not very ideal hey? Then your deity had to kill part of itself (but not really dead) in order to forgive us ... would an ideal deity need to do that? So using your own proof I can easily proof that your deity does is no god and some other thing must have created your very flawed deity. So even though I cannot prove that gods don’t exist (I am agnostic after all), I can easily prove your chosen deity is no deity at all.

Hanno replies on Jul 8, 2020:

@Corjova Why “must” there be an “ideal” Hanno? Is there also an “ideal” country? Or “Ideal” anything? No. There is absolutely no reason why an “ideal” of anything “must” exist. The complete absence of anything “ideal” in the real world tells you that is nonsense. Name one ideal thing? It does not exist and there is no need for it to exist. Our whole universes are made up of non-ideal things and exist. My parents created me... just like yours did. My ancestors evolved over 2 billion years.... for this the evidence are overwhelming. Abiogenesis likely locations have been established as the deep sea vents we still have today. I most definitely can improve myself and aim to do so everyday. I train my body to stay fit. I study to develop my understanding and ability. I work on my behaviour to be a better person. Why does “essential significance and meaning” need to exist. There is absolutely no proof that there needs to be meaning. A tree grows and reproduce, for no reason at all other than to spread its genes which evolved to do so because that is the genes that survive. The need to have meaning is completely man made. The universe does not need to have meaning. Just like Thomas Aquinas who made up your “proof” hundreds years ago, it take only a few seconds to disprove. And many have done so over the years in various ways. Your base argument is made up of a false axiom. Perfection (the word originally used), does not need to exist. And the lack if it in the universe is a strong argument that it likely does not exist at all. Your proof stops right there as wrong... and any reasoning after that is pointless.

This is disturbing.

The comparative journey the Vikings took from Greenland to New Foundland is much shorter and easier. The Europeans eventually made bigger and longer journeys however their technology was very advanced and they used both sextant and highly accurate watches to track their positions. They drew maps and wrote logs. Maori used the stars and migratory birds and had only legends to guide them. And they did this with their wives and children. No other group of people can rival the Pacific Islanders when comes to adventurous spirit.

Hanno replies on Jun 28, 2020:

1. The extra biblical reports of Jesus are about his followers and their stories about him. No extra-biblical writer claim to have witness his existence. The earliest non biblical writing of Jesus was in 90 AD, that is 60 years after the fact. Like the gospels of Luke, Matthew and Mark, they were not by witnesses. Considering the time Luke was written it is unlikely he ever met a witness and his account is third hand. Hence he is the only one to write about the virgin birth ... the other older three gospels “forgot” about it. Of course there were many gospels... but they contradict each other so much that only the four was selected hundreds of years later. 2- There is no missing body because nobody cared to look. The story of Jesus resurrection was only told many years later. You should rather ask about the missing accounts of his life, death and resurrection for thirty years. 3,. Paul had a vision... he never saw Jesus dead or alive. Pauline wrote over a ten year period 30-40 years after the claimed events. All the.apostles except John were dead by then. There were many other accounts of Jesus that contradicts. They were all ignored when the bible canonised hundreds of years later.

It tells you that their is strong political support from the local governments for their actions. The US is now in a civil war situation. The Democrats are worried they cannot beat Trump come elections and therefore do whatever it takes to get power back.

Statuesketch comments on Jun 26, 2020:

I thought so too, until this current season had injected pornographic scenes into it on a consistent basis. And besides, it's still this strange narrative that the only hypocrites in history are the Christians, merely because we judge them by their own standards, whereas the pagans might be dirty, ...

@Statuesketch I agree on the pregnant shield maiden bit, it was a bit silly. I also disliked the unneeded sex scenes. The story does not need it. I think I got offended by your view that your religion is better than others... you are completely entitled to that believe and I need not get offended by that. So maybe my response was a bit personal.

Many of us have noticed the millions of stolen credit card accounts from major corporations with better web security than most governments, and we have been raising the alarm that ANYONE (Soros) with the resources, who intends to compromise the online election system absolutely will.

Hanno replies on Jun 26, 2020:

@TimTuolomne I Must say I am utterly amazed at what is happening. I cannot believe no one is stopping the current revolution. I did not see this coming. In NZ only 36% support socialism... the problem is only 40% support free market capitalism... 24% have no idea what those terms mean. I was hoping this war will be fought and won in the US and that China would eventually fail. NZ would then just sheepishly follow the US. It looks like we will have to fight this war here as well, and without the US as an ally... I am worried.

The thing is that they don’t have to cheat to win... they can even loose and then just claim that Trump cheated and still have the anarchy they need.

The only flag I stand for.

Hanno replies on Jun 26, 2020:

What flag is that? Ok found it... anarcho-communist... So you support the establishment of a communist state through anarchy. Makes sense.

Testimony of those who witnessed it all. Those who were there.

Hanno replies on Jun 26, 2020:

There were actual no first hand written accounts. It is all second hand.... with the exception of John. However his claims are nowhere as extreme as the other gospels... He also wrote his gospel 40 years after the events and reading Relevations and the the latter John letters, you wonder whether they were actually were written by him, or if it was written for him. Again we do not know.

Hanno comments on Jun 26, 2020:

All scriptures written that describes these events were written between 30 and 60 years after the events happened. That is a whole generation. The simple question then is why for so long, either no one thought of writing it down, or all the writings about it disappeared. The second option is ...

Hanno replies on Jun 26, 2020:

@Naomi Like all myth and legend there are a basis of truth and much to learn from it. Obviously no ever raised from the dead. If that actually happened their would be immediate and numerous writings on it and we would not dispute it.

This is what most people would say all over the world, no?

Xtra comments on Jun 26, 2020:

Yet we choose to ignore it over and over again. Wonder why?

Hanno replies on Jun 26, 2020:

In NZ we had the property bubble long after the rest of the world had theirs (we are a bit like that LOL). I could not believe it when the NZ government made laws and rules that not just allowed it to happen, but to encourage. They knew exactly what they were doing and a small number of people became rich and the rest have to pay life crushing mortgages. Poor Lives Matter!

Edgework presented a good graph earlier that puts these spikes in perspective. An Austrian friend of mine in his retirement tracked the disease evolution in dozens of countries... they all follow the same Weibull distribution curve... Very encouraging and it means the pandemic is almost over in ...

Hanno replies on Jun 26, 2020:

@WilyRickWiles That is why I like Weibull distributions. They present so many things in nature. They have infinite long tails... people will be getting Covid 19 years to come... people are still getting SARS 1. However the deaths and risks will follow the same curve as all other strains.
