Zon: A gun or weapon cannot do good or bad. Only persons can use a gun or weapon to do good or bad. If you still don't understand that then you're beyond hope.137
There was never a debate about this point.
Your feigned ignorance of this point will show itself latter on your post.
In your earlier posts, you seemed bound and determined to absolve Google of responsibility regarding their self-censorship in dealing with Red China,
I've never addressed that issue on this thread. Thus it is a fabrication of your imagination, or you simply assume wrong. Your problem, not mine.
and the apparent allegation that they are putting the screws to thepeoplescube.com.
If you read back through my posts you'll see that I was skeptical about Google censoring TPC. The latest update at post #135 gives the URL where you can read a more plausible explanation of what happened at Google regarding TPC -- that TPC had spam links. More important is this, which I chose not to post but probably should have.

Using Goggle's free search engine service the peoplescube.com gained a ton of traffic: "Meanwhile our traffic is down by about 50% thanks to the Google embargo." --thepeoplescube.com "Whaa!! Whaaa! Whine!! I'm not getting anymore free traffic from Google. I have a right to get free traffic from Google. I'm gonna threaten to sue Google.": "A drop in traffic, caused by a malicious tempering with search results, has affected sales and that gives us grounds for you-know-what."--thepeoplescube.com. They could start by getting the spelling correct: it's tampering, not tempering. |
Zon: business does not cause death and destruction least wise not even one percent as much has happened in politics and religion.137
It has the potential to cause both when individual, or group, greed runs amok. Politics and religion have a legitimate reason to intercede when it does.
Potential.So WHAT! you have the potential to lie thru your teeth. People have the potential to do great harm, including death and destruction, and great good.
Politics and religion have a legitimate reason to intercede when it does.
So you absolve Dr. Mengele; absolove Mao for his mass murder; absolve Stalin for his mass murder; absolve Christians and Muslims for their killings!?! You assert that they must of had legitimate reason to intercede. You're sick, seek competent help.
Slavery in America was ended by a politician (debate the motivations if you like, but you can't deny the fact).
That people can do good and bad was never in question. Sheesh, the primary purpose of government is to protect the citizens and their property.
You've made it quite clear that you wont acknowledge the fact that the historical record proves that people creating death and destruction are 99% more common in government and religion than in business.
Absolve them? Absolutely not. At no point in my posts have I even hinted at absolution for this type of behavior.
Sheesh, the primary purpose of government is to protect the citizens and their property.
Yes. The primary purpose of government is to protect the governed, not the destruction of value. It is corrupt polticians, and/or those who use their office for personal gain who do that.
The primary purpose of the Christian church is to put forth a common set of values by which to lead a decent life, not destruction. The more closely followed by its adherents, the less government is needed in a predominately Christian society.
Precisely which atrocities are you specifically assigning to the Christian faith? I'd like to test your 99% theory here.
