People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
Naomi comments on Aug 18, 2019:
If this quote means that people often abuse their freedom of speech by not using freedom of thoughts... I think everybody agrees that speech is an instrument for conveying thoughts by articulating sounds and by composing sentences with correct grammar. Meanwhile, what does freedom of thoughts mean? Isn't it right that thoughts include speculations, suspicions, imaginations, anticipations, that sort of things. Is the process of having these thoughts part of freedom of thoughts? Based on these thoughts, rumours, gossips, conspiracy theories, i.e. fallacies, half truth, may be formed, uttered and spread, and may lead to hasty judgement and even defamation, no? In that case, is speaking rumours, gossips, etc. considered as abuse of freedom of speech? (If my questions don't make much sense, that's because my thoughts are all over the place, right now - freedom of thoughts? Sorry. :P)

As always, thanks everyone for your valid opinions. Taking your views into consideration and after more pondering, I'm going to settle with the Luddite fallacy by Tejvan Pettinger: *'In one sense, the Luddites were wrong. But, a total laissez-faire approach of the government is also misplaced. It was wrong to smash the machines, but it was also wrong for the government to completely ignore the plight of skilled artisans finding themselves without any income.'* Here is the link if you're interested: https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/6717/economics/the-luddite-fallacy/

Naomi comments on Aug 12, 2019:
Say, we agree that technology advancement inevitably replaces human workers, and that there is no connection between the rate of technology advancement and the rate of unemployment, in Tesco's case, 4300 staff will still lose their jobs. Many of them probably have families to feed. Many of them probably have no skills, no qualifications, nothing. They may live in small towns where there may not be many job vacancies. It'll take them time to find new jobs. What do you think they should do in the meantime? Do you think it is entirely up to them at the individual level? Or do you think we should help them somehow, as a community/society? After all, the quicker they can get back on their feet and start earing again, the quicker they can contribute to the local/national economy.

Naomi comments on Aug 8, 2019:
Hello. I'm not a religious person, but I feel I can relate to your terribly sad experience. You prayed, admitting that you didn't have enough strength. I would interpret that you were communicating with your own conscience through prayer. Sorrow, frustration, anger, guilt, regret... I don't know exactly what emotions you were going through at that time, but I think you managed to untangle your emotional knots by being honest with yourself and subsequently by forgiving yourself. I don't meditate regularly, but I think meditation has a similar effect without being religious. I'm sorry that you had to lose your wife the way you did. Warmest regards.

A friend in Japan reminded me that the 74th Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony was held today.
Naomi comments on Aug 8, 2019:
Thanks ever so much for your inputs. I really appreciate your sincere, passionate engagement in the conversations. I must admit, I'm not good at presenting examples. Lol I pointed out the Hiroshima/Nagasaki case in seeking views on if it is important that dark parts of one's country's history are told as objectively as possible without judging, and of course, that includes struggles within the country; civil war, religious war, racial war, etc. There is no doubt that history must be told, especially dark, unpleasant parts in my opinion; they mustn't be conveniently ignored. At the same time. I understand that telling dark past objectively without judging may take a conscious effort, especially when emotions are involved. I guess, that's where prejudice, hate, etc., against certain countries, races, religions, etc., can be passed on to younger generations.

Naomi comments on Aug 6, 2019:
Hi everyone. Thanks for your inputs so far. They're all valid and valuable. However, please note that the question I'm asking is "if it is important that one is able to tell younger generations the history of one's country, no matter how dark it may be, as objectively as possible without justifying or blaming". Please try not to go into the debate on whether or not the A-bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified (this could be discussed under a different post, of course). Thank you.

Naomi comments on Aug 6, 2019:
Well, thanks ever so much for your views which are all valid and valuable. It seems to me that it is the mindset that determines our firm beliefs and thoughts, and it is the mind game that we get sucked into if we are not careful. For example, the right talk as if all the left endorse egg/milkshake throwing, which is obviously not true, and the left talk as if all the right endorse white supremacy, which is also not true. But we all play this mind game (brain-washing, propaganda) only to divide ourselves further and further, and now the left and the right loathe one another by default. The same goes with religion, gender, etc., etc. I'd better make a conscious effort not to sleepwalk into this tribalism narrative.
How do we explain this?
Naomi comments on Aug 5, 2019:
Hello. I think there is always a build-up or a combination of factors as to why one country is doing better than another country, and that includes history, culture, homogeneity, social structure etc, etc. In the case of Switzerland, it could be to do with the fact that they make decisions by referendum which is had up to four times a year, they have rather strict regulations on immigrants' behaviour, they have a strong emphasis on community as a core. etc., etc. I think it is often impossible to make a fair comparison between two countries as to why one country is doing better than another unless they share very similar aspects.

Who says freedom of speech is dead in the UK? Speakers' Corner live and kicking!
Naomi comments on Aug 5, 2019:
'Peculiarly British bastion of free speech' and I like it! Seventy years ago, George Orwell wrote about the gatherings that took place at a particularly iconic area of Hyde Park. “I have listened there to Indian nationalists,” he said, “temperance reformers, communists … freethinkers, vegetarians, Mormons, the Salvation Army … and a large variety of plain lunatics, all taking their turn at the rostrum in an orderly way and receiving a fairly good-humoured hearing from the crowd.” There were, he reminded his readers, “very few countries in the world where you can see a similar spectacle”. Down the years, the nature of that spectacle has remained remarkably constant. Having negotiated some clear space, speakers stand on a platform a foot or so above their audience – and give it some. Whatever their views, their faces will take on much the same expressions: anger, frustration, impatience with a world that simply refuses to see sense. And around them, bystanders tend to gaze on with varying degrees of bafflement, indifference and amusement. No one’s mind is likely to be changed; the most illuminating thing to happen might be a testy exchange between the speaker and an observer who takes the opposite view. But there are compelling, almost magical elements at the centre of the whole ritual: free speech in action, and politics and religion at their most raw. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/apr/16/speakers-corner-philip-wolmuth

Naomi comments on Jul 22, 2019:
Since I made this post, I found the following announcement on the UK government's website. A spin. Lol. UK aid to India: UK no longer gives money to Indian government Posted by: DFID Media Team, Posted on: 27 December 2018 The Sun reported in its Boxing Day edition that the UK government plans to provide £98 million in aid to India over a two-year period even though it is expected to become the world’s third biggest economy by 2030. The UK no longer gives any money to the Government of India. More than half of the projected £98 million will be invested in Indian enterprises, while the rest funds technical expertise. Together these help develop new markets, whist creating jobs for some of India’s poorest and marginalised people. At the same time, this will also help create jobs for UK businesses, and generate a return for the UK. This is a win for the UK and a win for India.

Gut-wrenching dilemma - What would you have done if you were her?
Naomi comments on Jul 16, 2019:
Hello and thanks ever so much for your inputs. I think this is a terrible situation for any mother to be in, yet this is not unique in any war situation. What would I have done if I were in her position? The article doesn't tell the whole story, so I don't know, but seeking Asylum for the mother and her children may be the best option, provided that the mother wants to keep the children with her. I also think the adoption of the children into a family in a safe country/region is a good practical option if that has to be the case (I would consider adopting them if I was financially well off). I fear that the mother will not be fully accepted by the Yazidi community although she is back with her parents and brother. Even in the West, rape victims are often seen as something filthy, with the notion that it was somehow their fault that they were raped, and I would imagine that this perspective is even stronger in a small, traditional community like Yazidi tribe. I fear that the mother will be branded and her pain and suffering may have to continue. It is all to do with war/fighting in the first place in my opinion. In my simple head, family is a small unit of people who live together in a certain way. This certain way of living may be based on family tradition, religious belief, culture, etc. and may evolve as the old generation go and are replaced by the younger generation, which is only a natural process. But when an external force suddenly and brutally destroy their way of living, causing a lot of pain and suffering, it is impossible to restore it to what it used to be because they can't pretend as if nothing has happened. I would imagine being in a war situation is like that but in much bigger scale. I don't see being told stories like this as virtue-signaling; I would rather know stories like this so that I can see things in the right perspective. I can make sure that I have a steady life so that I can help others. It's upsetting and frustrating - I wish I was a superhero so that I can save the world.

Alarming Similarities of Conservatives and Imams [youtube.com]
Naomi comments on Jul 6, 2019:
Hello. This is an interesting piece. Thanks for sharing. Some time ago, I found the article below, according to which Reagan is responsible for establishing the association between Christianity and Conservatism. (In the UK, Thatcher also championed neoliberalism and had a go at claiming Christianity for Conservatism.) One of Jeremy Corbyn’s first duties after his re-election as leader of the Labour Party in September 2016 was an appearance at the Sunday morning service organised by Christians on the Left, at an evangelical Anglican church near the conference venue in Liverpool. The worshippers who had gathered that morning gave Corbyn a warm reception and vocal support as he described the “fundamental tenets of Christianity” as being “social justice”, “sharing” and “compassion”. If the idea of such a scene seems strange, it is probably because we more readily associate Christianity with conservatism and the political right. We are much more familiar with the Religious Right of the United States, a coalition of evangelical Christians and conservative Republicans which dates back to Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign. Such is the bond forged between these two groups that every Republican presidential candidate since Reagan has gained the support of a majority of white evangelicals. Yet this link serves to obscure a long and genuine tradition of left-wing Christianity, one which cuts across national and denominational boundaries, from the Roman Catholic liberation theology of Latin America, to the “red-letter” evangelicalism of the United States, to the Christian Socialism of the UK. I became curious about this association when I became aware that there is such thing as Christian Socialism in the UK.

Shame, shame, shame! Yemen – this is Britain’s war, too - spiked
Naomi comments on Jun 26, 2019:
The Yemen conflict has its roots in the Arab Spring of 2011, when an uprising forced the country's long-time authoritarian president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to hand over power to his deputy, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. The political transition was supposed to bring stability to Yemen, one of the Middle East's poorest nations, but President Hadi struggled to deal with various problems including militant attacks, corruption, food insecurity, and continuing loyalty of many military officers to Saleh. Fighting began in 2014 when the Houthi Shia Muslim rebel movement took advantage of the new president's weakness and seized control of northern Saada province and neighbouring areas. The Houthis went on to take the capital Sanaa, forcing Mr Hadi into exile abroad. The conflict escalated dramatically in March 2015, when Saudi Arabia and eight other mostly Sunni Arab states - backed by the US, UK, and France - began air strikes against the Houthis, with the declared aim of restoring Mr Hadi's government. The UK sells arms to Saudi Arabia so that Saudi Arabia can bomb Yemen. As usual, ordinary civilians, including children, have been caught up in all this.

Hello. Why has this been allowed to continue in the US so long? There must be law concerning the welfare of children, no? (I'm obviously showing my ignorance, here - sorry.)

This is a rather confusing statement BW makes, I know. But when a true leftist like him speaks, it make as good sense as when a true conservative, like Sir Roger, speaks.

What Hong Kong’s protests look like from inside China - YouTube
Naomi comments on Jun 20, 2019:
Hello. It is hard to know exactly what is going on between Hong Kong and China. The fact I know is that Thatcher and Zhao Ziyang signed the convention committing Britain to return Hong Kong to China in 1997 in return for terms "guaranteeing a 50-year extension of its capitalist system" (until 2047). It is a contract; it is a legal document, and it looks like China is breaching the contract by gradually eroding Hong Kong, moulding it into the same shape as the other cities in China. China is a UN member but so far the UN seems quiet, so does the British government...

Naomi comments on Jun 19, 2019:
Wherever you live, if you're not affected by -phobias and -isms so that you still feel free to criticize people who are in certain categories, I think that's a good thing. I think it is a problem that certain groups of people cannot take criticism well, and when these terms are used as political weapons, it promotes censorship (and self-censorship). I don't think it's healthy.

World population growth is expected to nearly stop by 2100 | Pew Research Center
Naomi comments on Jun 18, 2019:
Hello. Interesting stats. "The global fertility rate is expected to be 1.9 births per woman by 2100, down from 2.5 today." These numbers made me chuckle - How can a woman have 1.9 or 2.5 children? Like one child with a whole body and another one has just half a body. I wonder how they take into account the fact that people move around the world a lot nowadays; people immigrate and emigrate.

Do you think it's bad if one is not patriotic?
Naomi comments on Jun 15, 2019:
Thanks eve so much everyone. Many different views have been presented. Very interesting! I'm afraid I cannot say I'm patriotic. I've lived in my home country and have been living in England for the same number of years. My mother and brothers are still in my home country and my own family are in England. I am devoted to them all but I'm not sure if my devotion extends to either country if that's what patriotism is. If war breaks out between the countries, I will be absolutely torn apart. My uncle was an anti-war activist when he was a young man. He drank a whole bottle of vinegar and made himself sick so that he didn't have to join the services. He was heavily criticised and was called a coward and traitor, but he was sticking to his principle and refused to take part in the war. I'm not sure if he was arrested. What he did was silly, of course, as if his action could've changed anything. Maybe he was so young and naive that he thought he and his fellow activists could stop the war, hold their nation together and change the world. While others thought he was unpatriotic, he actually loved his country very much. He just had a different way to express his devotion to his homeland. That's what my father (my uncle's brother) told me. Patriotism is a peculiar thing, I think. Your inputs certainly encourage me to think more about it and I might make a relevant post. Again, thanks ever so much!
Do you think it's bad if one is not patriotic?
Naomi comments on Jun 15, 2019:
Cor blimey! I only asked a simple question (I was just wondering as usual) and look how many responses I've got - thanks ever so much. So, we all seem to agree that patriotism should be separated from loyalty and obedience to the government in that "Mindless patriotism is a blank check to tyrants." as 10thgeneration put it. When referring patriotism to love, devotion, loyalty etc. to one's nation, this rather abstract and emotional attachment seems to stem from love, devotion, loyalty, etc., to one's family, community, etc., which are supposedly core constituents of one's nation.There is a strong sense of togetherness, belongingness, community spirit, unity, etc., coming from the thread. Meanwhile, we can't emphasize enough how important individual liberty and rights are; we value them and we want to protect them. Say "live & let live" type of people (individualists - is that what they're called?), and/or those who place their support and devotion in their religious faith and do not lend themselves to patriotism in an Earthly kingdom (as RobBlair put it), get together, temporarily, in order to achieve a common goal because they can all benefit from it, but once the goal has been reached, they go separate ways, go back to their own individual lives and have nothing to do with each other. Would you say that is a wrong attitude towards holding society/nation together? Would you say that's bad because that's unpatriotic?
In an attempt to expose academic fields corrupted by postmodern ideology
Naomi comments on Jun 13, 2019:
These people are left-wing people (BW publicly says he is "progressive left") who are fighting against postmodernism as hard as right-wing people who wish to conserve the norm. I believe there are many problems the left and the right can solve together through cooperation.
