These things are done, on your behalf (and that of every other citizen) by the elected representatives we all voted for. That's how democracy works. You are one of us; I don't think you can/could be otherwise, do you?

Judging by the post to which you're replying, he doesn't vote in elections and, more generally, affects the position of not regarding himself as a member of the human race. This fits with the general "I've got all the answers and they're all very simple and you're all blinded by your education and your assumptions" shtick. A while ago, when I was still wasting time talking to him, there were instances where it became clear that having all these simple answers to the world's puzzles relied on not taking account of the fact that other human beings exist. Solving the world's problems is quite easy if we can do that.

Indeed. Without us, the world would be a better place for all the other living creatures. The ones that still survive, that is. 😉

ken/Age/creation/evolution believes that the universe can proclaim absolutely certain TRUTHS through all humans. We all are the universe so we all have access to them, but we have to be fully open for this to work.

So when she (he?) claims that she isn't human, then she is sort of the voice of the universe itself. She keeps switching back and forth between talking as the universe and talking as a human.

(or something along these lines)

As for her near-total ignorance about science, philosophy, religion, culture, society, humans, well, pretty much everything, like she was somehow from another planet, she once said that she's an Australian aboriginal which may or may not be true.

Spelling conventions and word usages ("color", "gotten" etc) suggest that creation/evolution is from North America.

And I'd guess something like a 17-21 year old boy from someplace like Burnsville, Minnesota, because who else is going to be so adamant about stuff like having "no beliefs"?

I thought people from Minnesota said "yah" and "you're darn tootin'". At least, that's what movies have told me about the thing called "Minnesota nice".

Murdoch; poisoning minds since 1952.

The entire Murdoch family ought to be skinned alive and strung up for the crows to pick clean.
No family has done more damage to the world than them. Hitler and Ghengis Khan were more honest and less harmful.

Just to be clear about that first quote: I'm fine with people saying that Murdoch is bad. I was just playfully referencing the fact that it's a well established theme of Greta's. (I also have nothing against the good people of Minnesota and the Nordic roots which I'm told lead to them saying "yah" instead of "yes".)

The jibe was immediately noted :) Yes, I probably do bang on about him too much, but his influence in politics in this country has been so profound and malign.

But "we all" did not vote. Obviously only some did. That was my point. The elected representatives, in those highest positions' are put there by those people who vote. So, those of you who vote put those people in those highest positions.

If you people stopped voting, and stopped making so called "royal" families, then there would not be people in those highest positions.

Obviously people in these positions are NOT needed, anyway.

There is a way, but I am not sure 'you' are ready for this revelation just yet.

Being "one of us" is also completed different from being "one of those", who put some in the highest positions.

Well that is about one of the most DISTORTED, INCORRECT, and WRONG assumptions that I have witnessed from a HUMAN BEING, for a long time now.

Once you learn what a 'problem' is, from my perspective, and learn how to solve any and ALL problems, then you will also learn just HOW easy and simple solving ALL of the human created problems, correctly and properly, actually IS. But all of this will only happen AFTER 'you' STOP making assumptions and STOP believing the things you do now.

The 'world' itself obviously has NO problems. Only human beings make problems, and thus only human beings have problems. If 'you' want to SEE thee Truth of things, then you at least have to speak thee Truth.

'We all' can be and, most likely, is just usually referring to all human beings, but "we all" can refer to many things. "We all" can also refer to the Universe. It all depends on what the words "we all" is being referred to, which can only be Truly KNOWN when the one who writes and/or says it is asked for clarification. Just assuming what the other is saying, and meaning, can lead one completely astray, as evidenced above.

Also, if you are somewhat closed, and thus NOT fully open, to some thing, then obviously you will not fully learn and understand that thing.

And, if the actual words that I use are noticed, then when this switching back and forth actually takes place can be very easily and simply recognized.

Did I specifically say Australian aboriginal?

What were the EXACT words I used?
