Well, technically, who defines "acceptable"? Usually society, right? So in this case, your question is like asking "So, just because the little hand is on the one and the big hand is on 12, it's 1 o'clock then?". It is a definition not an opinion. Maybe someone doesn't agree with society personally on how to tell time, but since majority makes the rules in a society, yes it is technocally one o'clock regardless of how you tell time. Same with math. If a majority believe 4 + 4 = 0, that is what will get taught in schools and to answer "8" would be "wrong".
I almost left you in the dark because I figured I would get this kind of a response. ("You said something is a certain way so you must support it!") No, those are just facts. Societal norms. I mean...they are not individual "norms" because that would not make any sense. 1 out of 1 is always 100% and whatever you do as an individual I giess is your own individual "norm". But you don't make the rules. No individual OUGHT to make all the rules for everyone else, yet we SHOULD have a code of principles however broad that we can agree on. Pedos bad. Rapists bad. Are we on the same page? And if so, does that make you a sheep to agree?Influential individuals define "acceptable" as well as the constraints of nature (things which occur beyond individual people acting alone or in an aggregate of people).
Most people are born into a preexisting culture, so many simply adopt the norms of THAT culture without examining the underlying things for veracity that happen in their particular culture It's kind of funny and sad too. "Pardon me, are there any ribs left", said the cannibal?
Very often the majority DOES NOT make the rules, rulers make the rules. You follow them or you get hurt. That should change, obviously, individuals should make the rules which pertain to them, as individuals.
If a majority of people believe your head is flat, and it isn't flat, the majority would be wrong. If your head is flat, saying it isn't won't change that. Is your head flat ? Could your neighbors vote your head flat if it were not flat ?
If a majority believe 4 + 4 = 0, it's likely a failing of a government school district and of course to solve that failing, the parasites within it will need more money.
Remind me not to ask you what time it is.
It is wrong to initiate aggression against other people and their justly acquired property. It is not wrong to defend yourself against those that aggress.Are we on the same page? And if so, does that make you a sheep to agree?
I agree with that, and I also think most of society agrees with that too. You DO have gas!It is wrong to initiate aggression against other people and their justly acquired property. It is not wrong to defend yourself against those that aggress.
I'm not a sheep, I'm a large hairy often solitary animal that roams the forest, with a bad case of flatulence. I thought you knew?
Millions of people "argue against it" when they reflexively participate in hierarchical imposed politics, which is systemically based in removal of choice, before it alleges, to "protect you, from those who would remove your choices" . Logical fail.I agree with that, and I also think most of society agrees with that too. You DO have gas!
Lol jk seriously though the right to be free from agression and to defend against agressors is so primal that I am not sure hiw anyone could argue against it.
Yup.Millions of people "argue against it" when they reflexively participate in hierarchical imposed politics, which is systemically based in removal of choice, before it alleges, to "protect you, from those who would remove your choices" . Logical fail.
Yeah I suppose this thread was dead and I just f***** the shit out of it! LolNecromancy Winner of the Week right here, folks!
Good people on both sides, even the ones chanting,"Jews will not replace us", while carrying torches at night too... Does the glass need to shatter on crystal night for you to see a difference? Why do you think all the nazi's in America support the republicans and Trump?Yup.
"Elect me, or else my opponent will ruin your lives and take your rights away!" - every Democrat and every Republican who ever ran for office
"Everything the other party blames on us is their own doing! They take credit for our successes and pin their failures on us!"
- every partisan whether Dem or Rep
I tend to place most of the blame on our two party system. It has us all thinking there are only two ways of life or two paths forward, and only one of which is acceptable or will work...when in reality, both parties need each other to justify their own existence! Once the bogeyman is gone who will you save me from exactly? Lol
Sure, Trump may be an asshole, oh shit....hey look a squirrel !!!Good people on both sides, even the ones chanting,"Jews will not replace us", while carrying torches at night too... Does the glass need to shatter on crystal night for you to see a difference? Why do you think all the nazi's in America support the republicans and Trump?
Trump is an evil asshole, speak up and be heard, you seem confused about the nature of good and evil. The binary choice presented to the American people by their political system is a different matter, right now Trump and the GOP need to be removed from office. Only racists support Trump, there is no other reasons and no excuses for not speaking out against this stupidity and evil.
Ok wait a sec...what the hell does your Trump opposition have to do with me disliking BOTH parties? Are you trying to use logical fallicies on me or something? (Implying every "good Jew" will vote against Trump because he made a comment that could be construed as being anti-Semitic) What two sides was he referring to? The neo-Nazis and the anti-fascists? or was it the people who saw the Confederate statues as being historically important versus those who saw it as such a sad part of our history we should have erased it? I personally believe Trump was thinking like this: "Oh shit, they asked me about the protest because they want me to condemn the people who wanted the statues to be kept. If I do that, then I look like I am erasing history and they will accuse me of that instead! I better play it safe and not lump everyone on either side of the debate over the statues into one of two corners." And of course his rivals still found a way to burn him. Some of the people in Charlottesville were protesting against the following: removal of statues of historical significance, failure to remove statues of individuals with racist histories, freedom of speech allowing Nazis to demonstrate, perceived encroachment on freedom of speech, etc. And you can drop the kristallnacht reference please...a Republican would tell me all about how, since I am a Jew, I shouldn't support Democrats because the Iran deal was dangerous for Israel and Trump with this embassy and on and on. So really, you are kind of proving my point. Both sides are just alike in most every way when it comes to their insistence everyone adopt their beliefs in order to defeat the evil other guys.Good people on both sides, even the ones chanting,"Jews will not replace us", while carrying torches at night too... Does the glass need to shatter on crystal night for you to see a difference? Why do you think all the nazi's in America support the republicans and Trump?

Then at best, you don't know the difference between good and evil and are morally "confused", or you are just another sock in disguise, we have seen so many here and I believe we have seen you several times. Keep posting though, maybe I'm just paranoid... Dwayne has been kinda lonely around here lately, not too many Trumpers around these days. Most show up with the speil that there is no difference between the parties and that Biden and Trump are the same, ignore the difference in competence or morality. Electing a moron like Trump sure screwed the economy, many businesses are going under and many of them are owned by Trump supporters too.but I am an independent. I couldn't bring myself to vote for a person if all we had in common was an animal mascot and a primary color.
Thank you for not adding the Canadians to this list.OK, folks, since we have people that talk so much about how much they're 'liked' and how everybody 'follows' them, here it is: the simple like list.
It's formulated very simply; it's a percentage ratio of likes to posts. Layman's example: if you have 100 posts and 100 likes, that's a difference of 0%. If you have 100 post and 25 likes, that's a difference of -75%. If you have 100 post and 175 likes, that's a difference of 75%. The higher the percentage, the more you're liked.
So here's a brief list of the usual suspects and how much they're liked from most liked at top to least liked at bottom. Enjoy!

tldrComplicated questions deserve complicated but thorough answers.
The Jewish religion was the societal foundation of the Hebrew people, and as a result, sometimes the word Jew is used to refer to a person of Hebrew ancestry. But this is technically a misnomer and the two should not be interchanged so freely. The process of conversion to Judaism seems to illustrate this point: one need not have Hebrew ancestry to convert, and the word used to describe such a person is ger...but a person who has Hebrew ancestry in their maternal lineage is considered a Jew already so no conversion is required, and this person is not a ger. It was a way to keep the Jewish faith closely attached to the Hebrew people while remaining open to all.
Judaism is a religion, and one observant of it is a Jew, regardless of his DNA. Hebrews (especially ahkenazim) have unique identifying DNA markers, so genetically someone can be Hebrew. Judaism accepts converts, including non-Hebrew individuals. But a Hebrew can be an atheist or a Buddhist.
So...to recap...not all Jews are Hebrew, and not every Hebrew is a Jew.
Jews: adherents of Judaism
Hebrews: those with ancestry that includes the ethnic group historically associated with Judaism.
