I had never seen this before. Just stumbled upon it. This Bishop is brilliant. It's an hour long, but you won't ever be bored.

[FLNittany]

Watch this if it interests you. You won't be bored. It's amazing the way he breaks it down.

Thank you; it’s brilliant.

[rlmorel]

This looks like a great, well informed entertaining explanation. I watched about ten min, going to reserve for when I have time.

Thanks for posting it.

Who put those bad keywords there?

My guess is they are the reason this forum has fallen from one of the greats to one that is now begging for contributions. Probably Texas based - is another guess.

What is the matter with you people?

I seriously want to know who added the 9th grade keywords to this post. It’s absolute petty BS. And I want to know why. Own up you AH’s. Or OWN the fact that people like you are why this forum is going down the tube.

The same person/persons are doing like keywords on nearly all posts conflicting with the government narrative on the virus and the ongoing medical experiments.

Kudos for noticing and calling it out. You might want to ping the admins; they may be able to track the users to make the keywords (I’d be surprised if they couldn’t).

[FLNittany]

I know who they are. They’re from Texas. They think they’re saving this forum, while in actuality they’re sinking it. They’re not very bright. In fact, they’re dumb as shit (pardon my french).

Would greatly appreciate a 100-word summary of the clip to which you have linked.

WHO is speaking?

WHAT are his credentials?

WHAT is he saying (just the gist)?

Sorry, but am suspicious when someone who has been a member for less than a year posts an otherwise unidentified clip, and immediately gets replies saying "brilliant!" - with no further comment on the actual CONTENTS.

Regards,

Begging for contributions?

LOL

[FLNittany]

I’ve been here since before the turn of the last century in one form or another.

The post speaks for itself if you watch even 30 seconds of it.

I don’t like being shaken down.

I was here before the 2000 election - in a different incarnation. Maybe ask yourselves why people like me were run off - before attacking me for making a post on chat.

Just a thought.

Without a brief synopsis, many people won’t click the link, including me. The bishop may be brilliant. Is he predicting Armageddon, the next lottery numbers? Is he describing the differences between African and European swallows? A clue would get more results.

[FLNittany]

He’s talking about marx, nietzsche, and other “philosophers” and their impact on our youth today.

Here is the youtube synopsis, but it won’t satisfy you or answer all your questions.

“Friends, I recently addressed the Knights of Malta about this convulsive time in our national history, demonstrated by the global pandemic, unstable politics, and outbursts of violence. But not many people understand the ideologies that stand behind the rioting and deep unrest that we see on our city streets. What I do in this brief presentation is to step back a bit from current events and explore four thinkers who have had a profound impact in shaping the world that we are confronting: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. Once we understand some of their most basic ideas, we will recognize their influence everywhere today.”

[Betty Jane]

Thank you. Now, my interest has been piqued and I will watch the video.

This Sentence, ‘He’s talking about marx, nietzsche, and other “philosophers” and their impact on our youth today’ would have sufficed, for most people, in the original post to make a decision whether to watch or not.

[rlmorel]

I agree that a better, concise summary would have been a preferable addition to get people to watch it.

I think a reasonable suggestion to add more information would have been sufficient without the implied insults (by some) in what would otherwise be reasonable criticism.

[rlmorel]

I agree with the irritation on the keywords.

To the person(s) who put those keywords there:

I suggest you refrain from being a ball-less pussy and stand up, put your displeasure into a well-written meaningful post (as some Freepers did on this thread) and hope the Freeper who created the thread sees your advice, recognizes the good sense in it, and both addends this thread and is more careful in any future threads started.

That is, assuming you can formulate a statement of criticism longer than a single, poorly conceived and snarky keyword.

I have far less of a problem with people I disagree with than I do with passive/aggressive mental midgets who don't have two brain cells to rub together, but who still demand to be heard.

That immediately preceding description sure reminds me of a class of people I greatly despise: Leftists.
