Would it also not be a Freemason's way to disagree?It is a gentlemans way to be able to disagree respectfully...
Very true.I believe being a gentleman is part of being a FM....
I suspect that since modern FM was formed during a time of gentlemanly behavior (!717) and as the world has changed towards less honorable behaviors, FM remains anchored to the old principles of that classic behavior.Very true.
And with each generation it's getting worse. When I was younger I started a teacher education program and then switched gears. Every now and then my wife will mention to me, "Why not go back to school and earn your teaching certification?" but really, I don't want to work in that environment. My wife says "you could teach in private schools or religious schools?" To which I reply, "We're planning on home schooling our kids, right?" She nods, and the conversation dies out for another day.Well, according to my oldest daughters High school History books, the Founding Fathers were just a bunch of racist slave owning farmers that lucked into events that helped them write a document of a dreamy world, not their vision of the future and reality.
Ya Gotta love the "Revisionist History" types. These are also the people that wanted her to do a book report on Michael Moores "columbine movie" I told them she would, but it would focus on the inaccuracies and misinformation. The teacher told me the purpose was to teach them the second amendment was not about owning guns and guns are bad. That led to a conversation with the principal and the board about why they and their employee felt they had the right to "indoctrinate" my child into a libby agenda? I also quoted from and presented them with a copy of Lotts "The Bias against Guns" ....the assignment was pulled from everyone.
I REALLY lament the modern educational system and those running it.
No offense taken, brother. My brother VirKnight's staff is well-orn and has seen far more mileage than mine. I often defer to his greater wisdom and experience.No disrespect but VirKnight gave a more insightful explaination.... I find your answers to be intolerant of the conservative POV.... you moral right and wrong may or may not be mine....whose right and wrong do you use....
My brother, it's hardly beside the point. The only ones who twist a scientific outcome are the ones who are not the scientists. Looking at the same thing and coming up with two separate answers is NOT an application of the scientific method, it's interpretive observation. Science seeks the truth through application of the scientific method, not the interpretation of the truth.You are right about the war issue and religion BUT that is besides the point, science can be twisted to support you argument....or mine. We can look at the exact same thing and get two completely different answers.
Not all who gamble are weak. I enjoy playing poker, but I do not do so to my own fiscal demise. Is THAT immoral? By counter example, if I lead you to a cliff, and you choose to jump, am I responsible for your actions?So...since the drug dealer is garnering income from the weak, whats your views on this.... A casino worker.... they garner income from people at a disadvantage....is a person who works in the gamblimg industry to be excluded? is gambeling immoral?
There's nothing like divine geometry! It was just one of the draws to Masonry for me.Being a mathematician, I bet you do get into some of the interesting mathmatical relationships in Masonry......I have read a few articles where the author gets really deep into math equations.....it can give a guy that isnt a mathmatician a headache.
Post something of a divine geometry nature....There's nothing like divine geometry! It was just one of the draws to Masonry for me.
