So just what would happen if trump followed through on his election promise of shooting someone on 5th avenue in broad daylight? I know republicans would back him and all but like, do the police arrest him? Can they even do that without impeachment first?

I mean, I'm obviously using this as a proxy for when he incriminate himself numerous time and nothing comes of it, but I'm, I guess, a tiny bit serious. Sorta.

Something I have not seen written anywhere, but my theory (almost certainly correct) is that Trump doesn't fill appointed roles so that when poo poo hits the fan he can avoid responsibility. Often responsibility falls on those appointed by others, promoted during the tenure of other administrations or to career civil service or military personnel.

My theory is that he is as incompetent as he is stupid and ugly.


E: and selfish. And self consumed. And ugly.

I also find it dumb and annoying that you're expected to want to go nuts and do all sorts of risky poo poo and move cross country for jobs.

Some people just want a house they can go to every night, and that desire skyrockets once you hit your 30s but a lot of your prototypical Serious Business Men ignore this fact as hard as they can.

The point is that people are much more stuck with their job. poo poo safety net and garbage wages (coupled with increasing costs for housing, education, travel etc.) means quitting is a big deal. Also, debt. Lots and lots of debt. It's just a symptom of a society getting worse and wealth being more concentrated at the top.

Not non-Christians. Atheists in particular. And I mean atheists as a group. Not as individuals.

Taking this specifically from a story I heard on the Ask an Atheist podcast.

The normal host was lamenting the fact that someone within their community who was competent at her job in (I think) the Tacoma Humanist organization was fired for lying about her lack of a four year degree. She got razzed for it too, but was otherwise competent at her job. She was having a hard time fitting back into the community and talked specifically about there not being some sort of social mechanism for forgiveness. Not on an individual basis, because people have agency and can do that, but as a group. He lamented that she'd hosed up, sure, but that a gently caress up shouldn't drat you forever, at least not for the smaller stuff. She couldn't fit back into the community and eventually left it all together. Competent at her job, lied about her credentials, got caught, got fired and was drummed out of the community as a sort of insult to injury. If this were some sort of Christian community the odds would be much higher of her being able to be accepted back into the group. She'd have to probably do some penance and work, but she'd get forgiveness from the group of a sort which would allow her to work her way back into peoples' good graces.

With Christians the beliefs are many and layered, and while people argue about what this or that passage means, there are beliefs that people can largely agree about.

Atheists have a single unifying thesis. No God. That's it. There are no other substantive claims that atheism makes. Atheism does intersect with humanism, but it's not humanism, though some atheists are humanists, and they do have theses beyond No God.

Oh, right, like how Christianity invented the idea that lying and cheating and killing is bad (scripture is pretty mum on rape, so I guess that's fine and doesn't require forgiveness) and in Christianity's absence we all just go around lyin and killin.

If only moral philosophy and mechanism for dealing with complex social interactions could somehow be devised by people and societies without one specific god handing them down from on high.

they fought a loving ground war after both sides had nuclear weapons without the use of nuclear weapons

edit: which isn't to say it's not a concern, but A) lol not with a US launch, and B) they wouldn't love to nuke each other you moron

I think you'll find that ~INDIANS~ and ~PAKISTANIS~ are bloodthirsty savages and only hold back from aimlessly launching nukes across their shared border because of how tough America is.

Plus, they have a history of war with each other and a complex border situation. Nothing like more responsible nuclear powers like, say, France and the UK.
