I wonder why when I am watching the horizon, ships just disappear over the edge?

 

Would you kill baby Hitler if you were certain it was baby Hitler?

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on April 25, 2024, 10:49:57 PMHell fucking yes I would.

Without a single doubt in my mind

This was the question put to the forum.... a very very simple question about without a single doubt.

5 people here have said they wouldn't prevent the death of millions over one demon baby...

Either they are dumber than dirt or did not comprehend what they read. I suggest they re-read the first post again.

Quote from: Logic Sandwich on Today at 02:25:48 AMI think the bigger issue here is the notion of differential enforcement. If you are prepared to kill baby Hitler for his sin and every baby is sinful from birth, then why not the wholesale slaughter of all newborns? The mighty Caskur, long having forsaken her handwringing over middle eastern massacres and scourging sin in maternity wards across the globe.

You know the biblical excuse of "well all babies are sinful" is worthless in this context, as do I. That's why you aren't cooling your heels in a cell as a Hitler yourself.

Excuse me Sir Imbecile, I answered the hypothetical first post and explained why I did and do not budge or need to answer anymore, "what ifs". God is perfectly able to resurrect any person who dies unjustly and promises that he will.

John 5:28-30

28  Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice+ 29  and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.+ 30  I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous+ because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.+

Sometimes the whole clan gotta go

My enemy is my enemy and his kids are nothing more than future enemies more often than not

My heart doesn't bleed for any of them.  There is no such thing as a civilian in war time.  Everyone contributed to the advancement of the war effort in one way or another

And Sodom and Gomorrah...

10 righteous could not be found...if they could, Sodom and Gomorrah would not have been destroyed.

If the doctors fee is $60 then it's $60 for both the rich and the poor that is covered by tax payers Medicare.

In a socialised medicare system people who earn more DO subsidise people who earn less. That sixty dollars you pay out of your pocket is but a surcharge which is paid to the government, not the doctor (even though it is the doctor's secretary that collects it.

The government (ideally) then contributes that sixty into the pool of monies they have already levied from the people. Remember that pool has already been largely generated off the back of a percentage levied on the earnings of individual peoples generative worth. That is where the top earners are subsidising the poor.

Because when the government reallocates the money back to your doctor, your doctor has no idea if the payment he just received cost you ten or a thousand dollars in medicare levies. You get the same level of service either way.


Now... if the doctor gave you a tenth of the service he gave to someone who had paid ten times as much through the medicare levy, that would be unsubsidised service.

Quote from: caskur on April 25, 2024, 06:42:27 PMDum sum.... why don't you fuck off back to Canada then...take all the Americans that lobbed themselves into our health care system with you.

I don't know any. I'd call that a major stumbling block to your proposal.

There is also the matter of the political situation. Both Australia and Canada are captives of Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum, an organisation whose aims are to bankrupt the peoples wealth in ways that dwarf the constant railing you engage in against your eastern states. Myopia is as myopia does I guess, you'll still be holding the eastern states responsible when globalism takes your entire way of life from you, but you do you.

It is worth noting however...

Quote from: caskur on April 26, 2024, 04:11:39 PMI just went and compared our tax rates with Canada... and our rates are double yours.


I don't even know what you people are complaining about.

The reason is simple; both are onerous. And Canadians are being gouged in ways that Australians aren't, the figures to which you base your assertion on likely do not reflect this.

Both countries could do with vastly diminished taxation. Most countries could. And it could be done as easily as drawing down government interference in your daily lives and forcing a bunch of fatassed regulators into the public sector. You know, to actually produce shit that was of saleable worth instead of producing inflation and red tape as they do now.

The ancient Romans managed to run their empire on single figure tax rates, just saying.

Quote from: caskur on April 25, 2024, 06:42:27 PMIt was 3% not 2 % and it went up to 4% because of cyclone yasi for 1 year And the Labor PM bitch totally misused the Medicare system doing that and I found that morally reprehensibly wrong.

Your entire country misuses the Medicare system. Crunch the numbers sometime (I'll wait) and see if you can explain to me where those billions in Medicare levies are being sent. Payouts to Pfizer maybe? A personal politician's library or three? It sure as hell isn't towards training competent medical staff or you wouldn't be importing a bunch of chinks, wops and dagos for your GPs to make a dent in those inordinately long waiting times at your local clinic.

I seem to recall a time not so long ago when doctors still made house calls. And it didn't break the bank to do it either. Your Medicare system sucks ass at gloryholes and if you're so keen to suck its then you're a fool.

Quote from: caskur on April 25, 2024, 06:42:27 PMFucking die already.

I'll get there in my own time thanks. As will you. Probably long before I do. Sorry about your luck.

Quote from: caskur on Today at 02:09:48 AMEvery Christian knows every baby is a sinner... they know this from their Bibles if they read them.

I didn't invent the concept it was known 1000s of year before I was born.

If you have an issue with that, see God, not me.

Quote from: Herman on April 27, 2024, 09:46:17 PMIt don't matter because we will never have such knowlewdge about a person when they are babies. We can say any crazy thing we want.

The Bible says that God thinks more of a person who dies in old age because of their good journey than the young.

I'll go look for the exact scripture and post it later.

Oh dear... just look at what I have to plough through just to show you what God thinks of the elderly...


How does God view the elderly?

Old age is God's reward for godliness (Ex 20:12 [Eph 6:2-3]; Deut 30:19-20). Being buried at "a good old age and full of years" is a sign of divine favor (Gen 15:13-15; cf. Job 42:16; 1 Chron 29:28; Ps 128:5-6).5 Dec 2020

Quote from: Logic Sandwich on April 27, 2024, 11:23:25 AMPretty harsh judgement there. Exactly what act have any of them committed that they need to be judged and by you of all people?

Every Christian knows every baby is a sinner... they know this from their Bibles if they read them.

Just a 3 hour drive south of me you can surf with dolphins...just pray no shark joins them...lol




Wouldn't it be great to be 20 again and tour with the surfies eh?

Aging sucks.
