Oppenheimer was also 1, does not mean he is evil. He rejected the usage of it only the deterrence to end all war. Zionist have been exploited by the 1%, u see bro?

If the girlfriends spend their time practising casting spells, they probably aren't powerful.

Worse sorcery is Solomon linked.

Oh I wouldn't know about symbols.

It was a king and also a prophet in the monotheist religions, The temple in Jerusalem is his.

Yes I know who Solomon is. Freemasonry is supposed to be linked. My late younger brother was very against freemasonry. I'm a more tolerant, accepting and understanding person though.

Didn't knew free masonry was involved in that interest although it does not surprise me, look at history and we come to.... Zionism

Well, I had a wife who was Zionist, very strongly. Our daughter who was brought up in that faith and yet many of her friends are Palestinian. I haven't talked to my daughter since it kicked off because I didn't want to, until I got my thoughts in order. She must be very upset. Our marriage broke up in 1984 mainly because of my ex wife's intense, mindless Zionism. I think I had little idea of what I was getting into.

This is my younger brother, Richard Chapman, Kal Heylin, Red Heylin or Prem Sakal. He was an expert on all things to do with what we're talking about. Also spoke a dozen languages and played a dozen instruments. Learned Sanskrit so he could read the Vedas in the original, or some such thing. Offered a recording contract by the Beatles and turned them down. I always told him that he could play well but couldn't sing for nuts and he should stick to instrumentals. This is a song of his. Aaaaaargh! Whenever I visited I wanted him to turn the music down.

The ideology behind Zionism grew after WW2 and the Genocide, they are not to blame. Many recognized people like Gabor Mate was as well and went there because it was their land. Like before along witch Christians and Muslims in peace. But what he saw in 3 weeks, he rejected and went away and rejected it.

Thanks for sharing this bro, I loved the 1st so far. You see? greatest part are people like you and me.

Acoustic as the text.

I have friends from Tel Aviv, a couple and they cool and find me same as them they said. Don't get me wrong, it's a kind of hate the game not the player as it looks sadly.

Actually, if you play that song, let it run and there will be a Sea Shanty. The only thing he ever sang which I really liked but he won't be playing all the instruments on that. I think it's called "Sea Monster Took Him Ashore". I know this is off topic but it should be ok. I remember when he told me he was going to record it, In Lancaster, Lancashire, England, 45 miles from here, maybe around 2010. Died in 2016 aged 62.

Is that your voice I just reached end.

So, he was a pilot in WW2?

A Lancaster was the British bomber, no?

err0r909

Bunkers still around not far from me, no you don't have my location as that front stretched in WW1 from North Sea up to Turkey.

Haha he was born in 1953, I was born in 1951. I was a pilot with the RAFVR for a short time because I was in a university air squadron 1970 to 72.

Cool

It's Western France, of course.

That song and movie? Is the Somme WW1 and it was sung by the preacher before battle and no I don't live there.

err0r909

I recommend that movie btw as also "We were young" a documentary and facts. It's ugly.

Well, we better get back to the topic. In my opinion there is no good defence for the argument that chess is a sport. All their arguments are weak and they never listen to criticism of them. They even try & pretend that those who don't accept it's a sport are the rigidly minded ones and are in the minority!

The minority is always right.

err0r909

And last time I checked on topic I had last word as minority. The topic wheter it is a sport or not is not a viable subject it is the perspective of physical effort. So, in conclusion, the right topic question should 've been is chess a mental or physical effort sport.

err0r909

The game vs sport argument was debunked by many resources. What is left?

Since I don't accept that there's such a thing as a mental sport (definitely for the credulous, that) there's nowhere to go. But even so, perhaps we shouldn't monpolise this thread by taling about other matters. Tell you what, I'll bump the other is chess a sprt thread and we can talk there if you imke. For a while. I'm supposed to be working.

ok

Some people like to think it's a sport because it makes them feel good, since chess is supposed to be a nerdy thing. The idea that chess is a sport is similar to the idea that making rice puddings is a sport. If you think making rice puddings or baking bread is a sport then you'll be comfortable with the idea that chess is also a sport.

Sooner or later, every thread on this topic will have an armchair psychologist offer his assessment of your motivation.
