Civilized people don't burn down buildings of people of other colours either.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.

Ironic that you are asking if others understand what violence is
I'm always still in trouble again
"You're by far the worst poster on TWeb" and "TWeb's biggest liar" --starlight (the guy who says Stalin was a right-winger)
"Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight

We are learning that all are in the same boat; all creeds, races, sexes and what have you. Your border wall project and rounding up undocumented immigrants is a study in extreme violence. Trump's "the virus will suddenly disappear" is a study in extreme inhumanity. This America, its reflection highlighted for you by the virus; it holds up a mirror, should make you uncomfortable. But, do you understand it?
This is definitely a time for prayerful self examination. Those with good hearts cannot do anything but act for change - to free the downtrodden minorities. And if you imagine that they are not downtrodden, you have not done enough prayerful self examination.
By the way, unnoticed systemic violence was explained by Slavoj Zizek a few years ago.

I would hope that your comment on what civilized people do applied to people of all races. You didn't need to comment on the colour of the looters and the buildings' owners. The only reason to do so is if it makes a difference in your view.Last edited by Roy; 07-02-2020, 08:44 AM.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.

left room for the idea that civilised people can burn down the buildings of other races - cf Kristallnacht and Klan church arson.

The many such references on this website, some accompanied by pictures of grilled bacon appear to be an in-joke that I do not get.
The customs and laws of religious folks are a little strange. Maybe you are familiar with "The Meaning of Life" (1983). I won't post a link, but there is a very funny sketch about Protestants and French ticklers in it that might amuse you - the theme, if not the detail is similar.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I'm guessing that, loosely-interpreted, meant "relax, be happier".
