Naomi replies on Sep 7, 2019:

@RemiDallaire, @Boardwine Now you mention it, that's right. I wasn't following the palaver all that closely, but she really went over the top, cursing and all that, didn't she? I believe that she encouraged others to leave IDW with her and chuckpo was one of them - he was on her side. He decided to stay, but now he's gone after lamenting the forum, apparently. They both took it all too seriously IMO.

I'm going to be honest.

Yes, if it came down to it, I am willing to lay my life down for even those who despise me, to have the right to Fred speech.

Naomi replies on Sep 6, 2019:

Hello. I admire your commitment. But, would you be willing to lay your life down even if someone threatened you that they're gonna burn your house down and kill you and your family? You would surely disapprove of such a threat, But assuming that you would say that threats are part of freedom of speech, would you still be able to defend to the death their right to threaten you...? I know I couldn't. I would call the police immediately in an attempt to stop the threat.

I'm going to be honest.

@DanMartinovich, @WilyRickWiles Say, you noticed that someone was saying on social media he/she was going to burn your house down and kill you and your family. You felt alarmed, so you called the police, and the police subsequently arrested the threatener (I believe that this happens in America). Does that mean the the threatener had his/her free speech right deprived? What is your definition of free speech "absolutism"?

Naomi replies on Sep 5, 2019:

"I would posit that inter racial marriage acceptance is probably only really seen in the British Empire." Actually, that's a good point. I would even extend that to European colonisation. I don't hear Brits talk about people in mixed-race marriages in a derogatory manner (though my experience may be different from others' in the UK). I imagine that people in my grandparents' generation would have disapproved of mixed-race marriage, but not in this day and age where people move around the world more and settle in different countries, which is quite normal. So, people like the woman in the video would have to understand the Bible better. Education is the key.

Naomi replies on Sep 2, 2019:

It's interesting that you mention broken families. Experts say it is one of the causes of ever-increasing knife crimes in the UK, along with relative poverty. They also say that children, although they may be in poverty, manage to stay away from crimes when they enjoy good family relationships. When not only families are broken, but parents themselves are broken people, it is very difficult to provide children with even a tiny amount of happiness, I think.

Hello. I've never lived in a society where ordinary people are allowed to carry guns (for defence of course), and I've never handled any except 44 Magnum and one smaller than that (can't remember what that was exactly) at a shooting range. I was happy to "try" to shoot at targets then, but I have no idea how I might feel about shooting someone, intentionally or unintentionally, and how I might feel afterwards even if that was self-defence. Do you talk much about the psychological side of ordinary civilians using guns in America? (Have you ever shot anyone intentionally?

Hello. I find this piece of information useful regarding gun control in different countries including the US and the UK. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/us-gun-policy-global-comparisons As for knife crimes in London, it's complicated but it is said to be gang war-related. Also, while it is statistically evident that there is a connection between knife violence and the black community, some are against "stop & search" on black people by the police, which I think is an effective strategy, but it's apparently racist. The police do this on white people, too. Anyway, any thoughts on the link in the original post?

The outsourcing of public services to private companies is very common nowadays; care nurses are also registered with private agencies. It is very expensive to live at one of those homes in the UK.

I think greed is part of human nature and it is sometimes hard to control, hence we witness madness on Black Friday. Not all corporations are greedy, but I think they know how to exploit our greed; they constantly encourage us to buy more.

Hello Bay0Wulf. I'm glad that you've got the point of the event in the end. The event is not for entertainment; it's not a reality show. Lol I grew up outside the UK and now I live in England. I realise that the class consciousness is quite strong among the British people. Plus, similar to what it is like in America, so-called "working-class" people tend to be looked down upon in the UK (well, I haven't got stats or anything but I'm at least under such impression). I believe that since the time of Tony Blair as Prime Minister, there has been a strong emphasis on going to university and get degrees. They may not be academically intelligent, but we need skilled workers like nursing home carers, hairdressers, plumbers, mechanics, carpenters, etc., and they should be proud of themselves for what they do. I think that vocational learning should be promoted and what skilled workers do should be much more appreciated.

Hello. Your moral values influence your rational behaviour. So, if greedy is immoral to you, you will of course make a conscious effort not to behave greedily. I go along with that.

Hello. Thanks for your input. I realise it is hard to measure "greed". For example, if basic living standards include having two cars, i.e., it's perfectly normal for one to have two cars, it's not greedy to want two cars. Or, if you "need" three cars, one for you, one for your wife and one for your son, because you all have to go to work in three different places, then it's not greedy. I'm yet to define what "a healthy amount of greed".

Hello. I'm simple and slow. So, let's say that I live in a small village and there is only one bakery. A wonderful smell of freshly-baked bread is coming from the bakery, so I rush to the bakery and buy all the breads. That's me buying on impulse and being greedy, i.e., selfish, not seeing the consequences clearly like I don't have enough room to store all the breads (they will go stale and mouldy and eventually wasted) and the others in the village will have to go without bread for some time. Meanwhile, the baker made a lot profit in a flash because of me. How would my action and the baker's profit affect the village economy? Would that be about my immoral behaviour rather than about the village economy, i.e., I will probably be kicked out of the village and that's the end of it? Lol
