This one is short and nuts: That dude is auditioning for a James Bond film.

Taser to the forehead is my therapy. Emotional support taser.

It's actually amazing how professional and kind most police are. They are way too nice in most cases. If I was a cop I would taser the hell outa everyone and get fired. Where's your driver's license? What's that? No license? ** Taser To The Forehead! **

They only shoot if the perp holds a weapon or is charging at them like a bull. They will not shoot a guy just cause he's big.

I have explored insanity and I don't have mental illness. Dangerous? Yeah.

@Karmadhi But realistically any war these days will be a proxy war funded by some superpower. This is just the nature of war these days. Most any place Russia would invade would get US aid. Same with Taiwan and Middle East issues. -

The problem is that genocide has serious cultural meaning aside from it's technical legal meaning and these things are always confused in the public eye. No one knows or cares about the the technical legal definitions. And this is really a public cultural issue moreso than a legal one, since none of the legal rulings will be enforced anyway. So using those legal definitions in a culture war is a mistake. -
Someone should print that in a gold frame and sell it.

How do you know that's true? Where do you get such knowledge?

@Husseinisdoingfine Yeah. It's a hairy situation. It is odd that the US is mixed up with Chinese affairs. But also communism is bad. So here we are. Cold War Jr. -
@Davino I don't know how realistic it is to train cops in martial arts and how effective it would be for their real-world tasks. The issue is that arresting people is a very specific skill which is not the same as martial arts. That point about experience is precisely the issue here. Martial arts experience is not the same thing as police arrest experience. Ralston is not experienced in arresting people, as far as I know. You can't just assume that experience is transferable. From all the police videos I have seen, arresting people is a lot more chaotic and dangerous than martial arts. Which is why they shoot people. In martial arts, when you make a mistake you don't die. That's the criticial difference. And you don't get sued for millions of dollars. Police have very strict protocols. But I am open to being shown I am wrong. I just won't take the words of people with zero policing experience too seriously. You have to demostrate that your fancy ideas work in real policing situations. I have no experience in martial arts. But how much experience do you have in policing? The sword cuts both ways.

Everyone gets hung up on this word genocide. It's such a red hering. Call it ethnic cleansing instead and it will be much more productive. Then weasels will not be able to argue around. Calling it genocide backfires because genocide implies an intent to exterminate a people by any means available. -
This proves what? He is holding a little skinny guy smaller than himself who isn't even resisting. He would not even be able to get his legs around that ox. Cops are not choking people out, they must put them in handcuffs and into the back of vehicles. Go look at videos of how hard that is to do with even 3 cops.

Well written. I would like to see more meat on the bone. What are the assumptions of scientific realism and where are they wrong? If you're gonna deconstruct science you gotta strike it right in the heart, or it will not land. If you're sorta vague about it, people will easily dismiss it. But maybe this was just an intro.

That's just social human nonsense. You are God. Ego is irrelevant here. Of course God can understand and know itself. Just don't limit God to the human self-image or mind. God is way bigger than that.

I've had that. It's tough but in the end you can't stay with her just because of that. Try to comfort her. Usually it's an empty threat that will pass. You have to assess how serious the threat is.

No, it was the result of Chinese civil war. Americans didn't create Taiwan, a Chinese government faction relocated there while fighting against the communists. Of course Americans supported that capitalist faction, because communism is stupid. -
That line is called God consciousness. The ego is God, but not all of God or the highest form of God. You can only know when you cross it. But even if you cross it you can still have delusions about it. You can be as deluded about God as you want, with or without consciousness of God. Well, you gotta understand what ego is and notice when you are acting from ego. Superiority is surely a sign of ego. Awakening has nothing to do with mental illness. These are different things. There's a lot more difference than that. But mental illness and consciousness of God are not mutually exclusive. You can have both. Just as you can be a vegetarian and murderer. Insanity is a very advanced thing that even mentally ill people don't usually reach.
