U.S. Government-sanctioned Slavery

They have to be questions with at least a low level of sensibility that, unfortunately, Arising doesn't come close to meeting.

I think these very sensible questions, that's why you ignore them.

Theist, agnostic, atheist. As Bob the Baptist, I can tell you that the first and third are fools, and absolute fools at that.

Anybody who isn't an agnostic is a fool.

So tell bob, are you an agnostic or an absolute fool?

[Arising_uk]

Everything I say is divinely inspired, sister, and I answer all questions of a spiritual, political or economic nature.

Oh good, as I have a spiritual question,

Theist, agnostic, atheist. As Bob the Baptist, I can tell you that the first and third are fools, and absolute fools at that.

Anybody who isn't an agnostic is a fool.

So tell us bob, if you are an agnostic what would this make this 'divinity' who 'divinely inspires you or can we assume you are an absolute fool?

[bobevenson]

So is it the form of the question or the person asking it that matters more to you?

As you can see from Arising's last two posts, both.

Bob, please don't use large bold type all the time. It makes you look pushy and selfish. Gary is right. You are making claims without any evidence. Large type posts are irritating, aren't they? [/size]

First of all, Greta, you just used 200 point type to make your fallacious charge, while I consistently use only a modest 125 point type, so that obviously makes you one lying son-of-a-bitch, right? Secondly, regarding evidence, since I am Bob the Baptist, the new guru, the modern messiah, the wizard of Ouzo, and a divinely inspired prophet of all things spiritual, political and economic, the only evidence I need are my prophetic credentials which I have presented earlier.

Little Bob, the reason why I use 200 point type is that I am not some mere weak and pathetic "Wizard of Ouzo",

I am the "Queen of the Universe", and so incredibly divine that I use "divinely inspired prophets" as servants and underlings. Nor do I not tolerate rudeness from mere prophets - because I am supreme, and my prophetic credentials massively dwarf your puny, childish ideas. Kneel before me, scum.

I am therefore entitled to respond to your delusions in an even more huge, selfish and intrusive way than you do.

I bet you eat scum like Bob for breakfast, Oh great leader.

Yea verily, Ser Phil the Explorer! The Great Benevolent Queen of the Universe indeed eats scum every morning, consuming billions in the form of yoghurt.

Such fun to play make believe.

I heard you're a psychiatrist, Oh Great Benevolent Queen. What is your prognosis for Bob?

Nay, Ser Phillip, the Queen of the Universe does not engage in base work activities. She merely observes.

What she has observed is a tendency to blame the instrument - government - that was originally designed to represent them. Meanwhile they pay scant attention to the corrupting influences. They continue to grievously underestimate the power of multinational companies, the revenue stream of some being greater than that of some small developed nations. These private interests have forced governments around the world to move their representation from "all the people" (or at least many) to representing only a small portion of the populace - the super-wealthy and ultra-wealthy.

It is these privileged few who appear destined to thrive as the less fortunate flounder and perish this century. No matter how extreme their crimes, the ultra-wealthy will continue to enjoy the support of many of their victims, who have been effectively brainwashed by the "free market" rhetoric and propaganda with which they have saturated the media.

It looks like natural selection to me.

Oh Great Wise One,

Does Bob have a plan for this?

Two words describe the two of you: pathetic socialists.

And this describes what I think of your description

You lack divine guidance which the Queen will take care of later.

I wonder what you represent. Oh no, don't answer that as that would make me throw up

What do you mean 'what would I do'? I'd leave them the fuck alone. ...

Fair enough, so would I but do you think this would stop the fighting and refugees? Would you also be building your defenses and armed forces up for possible future conflict?

And the difference between Mao, Stalin etc. is they were totalitarian dictatorships. It's the US that puts itself on a moral pedestal and has set itself up as the policeman of the planet. ...

You can't have it both ways! Either America is acting in its own interests or its acting as a moral policeman? I think it the former and it came about due to the second world war.

The taliban wanted to destroy the poppy industry. The yanks were having none of that. Are you suggesting the US invaded Afghanistan just to get a handful of renegades? It must be even stupider than it appears then, and you must be even more gullible. ...

I think you clutching at straws here, that they are defending the warlords poppy fields is a by-product of fighting the taliban, who now are growing their own as they need the cash. America gets its heroin from Mexico and S.America. I think they attacked to get Bin-Laden and then as an after thought decided that Afghanistan under the Taliban were a source of terrorism against them so decided to depose them. I agree that they should have been left to run their country as they see fit, womens rights and all.

Yup, the boob doesn't like any form that holds him to account for his words and he especially dislikes those who do so.
