No government, of course. 

No, both socialism and communism would have to have governments. Democracies would be my choice for both.

As for capitalism, I think our plutocracy is about right.

What I do and think may be meaningless to you, but not to me.

My "Me" and "We" distinction is the very foundation of right-wing/left-wing thinking.

Yes, it is somewhat like the summer of 69. That's when I was 23.

And yes, I was a "Flower Child."

I've taken a long look at reality over my 78 years, and I've already voted against Trump and for Harris.

I have a good grip on reality, but I don't like it very much.

I define science as just another religion that worships the human intellect.

I had to look up "FING TEST." How would I do one, and what would I do one on?



 

 

You seem to lack a fundamental understanding of the Scientific Process.

 

In order to know how to test observations, I think you might benefit by buying a few science textbooks.

 

Science is NOT a religion for precisely the reasons that differentiate a religion from science.

 

I KNEW you were a Flower Child just by reading your comment.

 

Someday, though everyone must grow up.

I have a very good understanding of the scientific process.

I have a BSc and have read many textbooks on science.

I define a "religion" as a "system of belief based on faith." Science is based on our faith in logic, reason, cause-and-effect, the existence of separate entities, and the passage of time, just to name just a few. I call these the doctrines and dogmas of the religion of science,  All of these are delusions (concepts) created by the "diety" the religion of science worships - the human intellect. None of these things exist in reality. 

There is no "someday" if you're referring to the future. There is only now.

I am a Harris supporter, I've already voted, and illegal immigration is not a big deal for me. Having said all that, I'll just note that these are just estimates and not based on any actual counts. And, most of all, during this period, Harris was VICE President, not President, so although she could be assumed to have backed Biden's strategic approach to issues, she should not be judged on Biden's tactical approach to any particular issue. 

 

Of course you don't have a problem illegal immigration, you don't even live in the country! My whole family are liberals democrats etc... too and every one of their positions is like yours. "It doesn't affect me personally and it makes me feel good to do the right thing so consequences to others be damned".
