Who's your teacher?

[George-ananda]

So, what do you think.

I think you make some good points. The current cultural civil war is fueled more by hatred of the other side than by love of justice/morality.

 

[PureX]

Lets see... Antifa, creating street violence, being masked, cowards, spraying people with pepper, non tollerant of debates etc.
LBGTQ and all the other QWERTY letters that spells out everyone not "White, Male and straight". Prohibiting speakers to debate, or hold seminars at universities, such as Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson or even Dinesh de Sousa. Forcing your vievpoint into everyone's througt, and even disrupting civilised debates.

The leftist socialist organisations creating Racial tension, attacking anyone wearing a Maga hat, wearing a USA flag, even if it is a sticker on a vehicle, they get crazed and want to fight and loose their minds.

What about the violence we saw in the USA after Floid was killed by a police man. Yje Black lives matter organisatin slandered this man's death with their looting, burning of churches, and buildings, killing people, and demanding the Police to be outlawed.

What is the case?
Well let me tell you why people follow these violent and terrible ideologies.

Because they allow bad people to be their teachers.
People do not realise that they remain individuals and have the choice to become a great person, or to follow the rubbish actions of the worlds worst examples of human beings.

They are either so brainwashed by their socialist ideas, or they are themself people with low moral standards and want the rest of us to turn out the way they want us to be.

So, what do you think.

I think all you see in these instances are the violent and stupid behaviors of a few, while you ignore the peaceful and morally idealized behavior of the many. This is the thinking of a bigot. Of someone who grabs tightly onto the bits of "truth" that ratify his bias, while ignoring all the bits of truth that would teach him to let go of that bias, if he were to acknowledge it.

There are many bad teachers. Bias and bigotry being one the most common.

Who would want to be in the police force/service of some of these American cities these days?

It is no better for our UK police at times.

Who are we going to call when they have all left?

 

[Left Coast]

why?
Do you believe you have the right to loot, burn, murder because someone thousands of miles away murdered someone else, and you dont like it?
I think people acting this way are mentally impared!

The US police kill people at 67 times the rate UK police do.
Do you think it's wrong to question that?

Is rioting and looting now the same as questioning?

I heard a beautifull story a few years ago, and I do not know if it is true or not, but it gave me a whole lot of direction in life.
In the first World war, an Armenian section fighting with the British in Palestine overran a line of German led Turkish sodiers, one of the first battles led by Lord Allenby.

An English officer and his Armenian fighters, mixed with Indian, Canadian and South African soldiers, broke through the lines after assaulting machine gun and infantery Turks.
As the Turks gave up, one Armenian ran forward, and with his bayonette stabbed the first Turkish soldier he met, and only woonded him. As the Turk fell, trying to get out of continious stabbings, the English officer stopped the Armenian killing the Turk.

It was an emotional experiance with the Turk grabbing hold of the offices' feet crying to be spared, and the Armenian blazed with violent craze trying to fight the officer off to kill the Turk.

A few moments later the Armenian got to his senses, and calmed down with tears, and said:
"They killed my parents, my wife, my children, brothers and sisters!!!"

The officer replied: "Never allow them to be your teacher"

I follow this advice wherever I go, and with whoever I meet.

Now, who is your teacher? and what do you do when they practice the immoral ideology.

Lets see... Antifa, creating street violence, being masked, cowards, spraying people with pepper, non tollerant of debates etc.

Spellcheck is your friend.

It won’t make what you write any more palatable, but it will make it less painful, from a technical standpoint, to wade through.

only love can break a heart and then turn and heal it again. neither to the left, nor the right but straight and narrowly through the heart is the Way

Ezekiel 11:19

Ezekiel 36:26

Tell her not to get upset
Second-guessing everything you said and done
And then when she gets upset
Tell her how you never meant to hurt no one
Then you tell her that the only way her heart will mend
Is when she learns to love again
And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend
And then you let her down easy - call your girlfriend - robyn

There truly is no "they" and I pray to know this more and more. There is only us. My teacher has but one message and that message is love. I pray to manifest that love more and more.

 

[dybmh]

Didn't read the OP, but, you asked:

"Who's your teacher?

Answer: "Everything and Nothing."

Essentially Everything is my Teacher. That means I'm always learning, even in my sleep.

Now responding to the OP specifically:

Are your teachers morally an example to you?

Of course. Why not?

A negative role model is just as good if an individual has a strong sense of self and has resolved to do no harm.

Does that help @SA Huguenot ?

I heard a beautifull story a few years ago, and I do not know if it is true or not, but it gave me a whole lot of direction in life.

Thank you for sharing this story. First time I heard it, and I find it wonderful and a great inspiration

Great

So very true (IMHO)

So, what do you think.
Are your teachers morraly an example to you?

Those who live morally inspire me. They teach me how to act
Those who live not morally inspire me too. They teach me how not to act

 

[RabbiO]

@dybmh -
You really should read posts before you respond to them.

You don't want one day to answer a post you really haven't read and offer advice to a poster who, say, has asked something about how to get an oven clean.... only to find out later that the poster is the Nazi responsible for cleaning the crematorium at Auschwitz.

(No, I am not comparing the OP to a Nazi.)

 

[RabbiO]

@SA Huguenot -

So, as a South African living in South Africa what are your sources for news of events in the United States?

 

[QuestioningMind]

Mmmm, is it right what Antifa and BLM is doing?
Do you agree with looting and burning your country knowing that you have the best judicial system on Earth that will hold the murderer of Floyd accountable for his deeds?
Or do you think these people actually discredit the life of this man.
Even if he was a drunk, addict, and had false money, still it was murder and the police man was wrong.
And if you want to take action against this police man, what is the difference between you and the KKK who lybched black people?
Different circumstances, but same behaviour!

Mmmm, is it right what Antifa and BLM is doing?

Absolutely... don't you think that fighting for equality among minorities and being against fascists is a good thing? If not, why not?

Do you agree with looting and burning your country knowing that you have the best judicial system on Earth that will hold the murderer of Floyd accountable for his deeds?

I absolutely do not agree with burning and looting. And of course 90+ percent of people who support peacefully BLM also don't agree with burning and looting either. Have you even watched the news footage of these protests? If so, you'll see that 90+ percent of the protesters are PEACEFULLY protesting and that the violence begins when the police initiate it. If you HAVEN'T seen such footage then CLEARLY you need to start watching something other that the Fox propaganda channel.

And clearly you haven't been paying attention if you think the judicial system we have in this nation is the best in the world and that all corrupt and brutal cops are brought to justice.


Or do you think these people actually discredit the life of this man.

The SMALL minority of people who have burned and looted HAVE discredited this man.

Even if he was a drunk, addict, and had false money, still it was murder and the police man was wrong.

Who told you that he was drunk or an addict? And having a fake 20 dollar bill is NOT a crime.

And if you want to take action against this police man, what is the difference between you and the KKK who lybched black people?
Different circumstances, but same behaviour!

Are you smoking crack or something? You HONESTLY don't see a difference between the KKK dragging a man out and hanging him without a trial and a group of people who are demanding that someone who has committed a crime be arrested, charged with a crime, and taken to trial?

But of COURSE you see the difference... you just want to make a pathetic false-equivalency in an attempt to support your disgusting racist viewpoints.

 

[QuestioningMind]

Who are we going to call when they have all left?

Personally I'd like to be able to call on professionals who have actually invested years into proper training and know how to serve and protect the public by deescalating situations instead of a bunch of gun-happy cowards who've been taught that the public is the enemy and to start shooting the first instant they feel the slightest bit threatened.

This man explains what fascism really is. The Left and ANTIFA are the fascists.

Fascists want big government. The Right wants small government.

Definition of fascism


1: often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial controlearly instances of army fascism and brutality

I suggest that you try using the ACTUAL definition of fascism, not what this moronic propagandist wants you to think it means.

I've never defended the rioters and doubt I ever would.
I've never defended the looters, and never would.

 

[Heyo]

I've never defended the rioters and doubt I ever would.
I've never defended the looters, and never would.

I wouldn't say I'd advocate for rioting or looting but it seems to be the most successful form of protest. Police violence and unaccountability have been a problem for decades and have been peacefully protested for decades - to no avail. Only when shops are looted and police stations are burned do the politicians react.
That is not a defence of the looters, it's a shame for the politicians.

I understand your point. It's exactly why I left a small amount of wiggle room on 'rioters'.
Looting, nah...that's about personal (rather than societal) gain.
