Hundreds of people have been rescued from a scam centre in the Philippines that made them pose as lovers online. Police said they raided the centre on Thursday and rescued 383 Filipinos, 202 Chinese and 73 other foreign nationals. The centre, which is about 100km north of Manila, was masquerading as an online gambling firm, they said. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-68562643

PoliteActivist:This your "we" bothers me. You haven't bothered to know enough, and you assume everyone else has been lazy like you've been and not bothered to learn anything, so you create us all in your image. Not everyone knows nothing. For while some of you are perfectly content to live naked and ignorant in the Garden of Eden without daring to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for fear that you might die, some would pluck the fruit to test for themselves if they will truly die, and that's apart from those the fruit is being cultivated for.

Ilamina:Not everyone is miserable. Around you alone you can obviously see many people who are not miserable. Some even throw party to celebrate their joy. And you encounter a lot of unmiserable people on the internet and right here on Nairaland. You should seriously stop lying to yourself and face the truth, Ilamina, while you are still young enough to do something about your life. 1 Like |

raumdeuter:So, you don't vote based on sentiment after all, but on evidence and facts. No wonder we lefty woke libtards appreciate you somewhat. In putting his loyalists there, he is kicking out traditional Republicans, and a lot of them would be so disgruntled like you that they'd rather hold their noses and vote Biden, we hope.

Laurene:Crippling Ukraine is not the way to force them to make peace with Russia. First World War allies crippled Germany and it only led to World War 2. Nigeria crippled Biafra and it has led to instability ever since. And there's nothing to indicate Russia wouldn't be emboldened to attack elsewhere or others. Dump promises peace, but his flaws cause so much division at home that I think he'd just import the wars into the United States of America, or at least make some need to hold their noses and refuse to acknowledge the possible conflict he's bound to cause while they vote for him. Hopefully, most would be like raumdeuter for whom all the nose holding doesn't remove the dump stench. |

Aemmyjah:Neither is a product of mindless chance or chaos. One is an intelligent copy of what already exists in nature, which study shows gradually evolved over time into what it currently is. So there's no reason to assume there is an intelligent designer to compensate for one's lack of knowledge when one can very easily go learn. |

PoliteActivist:Kind of does, though I'm certain you know that it is the animal itself that chooses to survive, and not anything else stopping it from dying of hunger, just as you choose to survive or not, and not that something somewhere chooses for you. Anyway, I'm letting you be. For starts, it's hard to converse with a person for whom words mean what he says they mean especially if he does not state his meaning, and with someone who thinks he knows nothing and believes others are as know nothing as he is, and even moreso with someone who doubts his own existence and that of those he converses with. If you don't believe the humans you converse with actually exist, it wouldn't be long before you are impolite to them. |

PoliteActivist:As "microscopically non-existent on a cosmic scale" that you claim to be, you are still an individual person to me, and I must accord you with due regard and respect because that is how I have trained myself to be. Do know that you would not be considering the existence of a God or anything at all if you did not exist, because you think and consider only because you exist. If however you are willing to discover whether you exist or not, fill a bucket with water and stick your head that does not exist that is on your neck that does not exist inside the bucket of water that does exist. And after 10 minutes come tell me who or what exists that has responded to this post. |

Aemmyjah:No, Aemmyjah. If I see a bamboo hut in a forest that people say no man has ever stepped in, my brain will not "conclude that that came by itself since you've not seen any evidence of the mind behind the hut". Apart from the fact that my brain does not conclude, it is not unusual for there to be a hut that no man has ever stepped in, though there'd be the question of how those who told me know. My great grandmother was an Ifa priestess, and legend has it that her shrine was built by women, and men were forbidden from stepping inside or even near it, and I did not therefore conclude that it came by itself. But I guess that's because I have evidence of my great grandmother's mind that is behind her hut that no man has been inside. We are not talking about things one has not seen, however. As I said, I also base things on my knowledge and understanding of the experiences I have had which is extensive but not all that can be known, instead of filling my lack of knowledge with imaginations. "Experience" above includes my experience of learning, like reading books and going to school and watching the world pass by and me searching for my sustenance and understanding things etc etc etc. If I see a mountain, for instance, I or my brain do not conclude that it came by itself or that a creator created it there even if some people told me so. What we, my brain and I, would do is go get the experience that gives one the knowledge about the formation of mountains so one may have an idea of how the mountain one sees came to be there. That doesn't therefore mean that I must now know how the mountain got there, mind. But it should give me sufficient knowledge to know the difference between reality and the imaginations of others. |

Aemmyjah:My ability to reason has not led me to conclude that life, the systems in nature with their laws and order could result from mindless chance. I have never said any sort of mind created any natural laws or order, because there is no evidence of any such mind. Thankfully, the search alone has taught us a vast lot more about our own minds, and how to create law and order amongst human selves and evolve, so Gods I praise. For without the Gods we'd still be naked of knowledge and more enslaved than we are and instead of insulting each other with words we'd be tearing at each other with our teeth. |

PoliteActivist:So. You reduce me and everything I say to be a figment of your imagination, if you exist at all? Now, that must be one powerful imagination creating ability you got there, because the buda you are creating is right here in your front. I don't think you don't exist or are a figment of my imagination, Polite. I have far more regard and respect for you than to think I am imagining you exist after you have exhibited before my senses by opening this thread. Even if you are a bot, your responses are not my imagination, as you are here responding, though I think a bot might reason better than you're doing I dare say. |

I am very certain that the words you are currently reading were written and out together by me and only me, regardless of what you wish to imagine, PoliteActivist. See, PoliteActivist. I've even decided to write your name at the end there, twice. PoliteActivist:You are going to have to forgive me, but I do not live in an if universe that can be shrunk to any size. If I did, first thing I'd do is shrink it so I'd be taking one single step to be on a sunny beach, but as it is I can not even shrink the contents of my office desk so it's tidier. I bother learning about the real world I live in instead of the imaginary world of if. |
