it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.
i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?
... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?
I would advise anyone to simply listen to Trump's first speech for the CIA and tell me he comes across as a person who is fully mentally competent. This is the same guy who compared the IC to nazis a few weeks ago in a tweet:

The president of the USA is calling the free press liars

Because young men and women, boy and girls, have just witnessed a man become president who has boasted about assaulting women. It is important young people are reassured that this is not normal and most Americans don't support it.
Damn straight. The ability to peacefully protest a bully (oh yes, a car window was broken and a nazi was suckerpunched, there is a few hundred easy bucks for the nut-right youtube community!) is exactly what makes america great in the first place!
And that Trump makes the number of people attending his inauguration a major point of his first speech for the CIA is just delicious.

8 years from now:
117) "Trump is on tape asking puting for advice on foreign policy"
So what, everyone says putin knows more about foreign policy than Trump so perhaps it is to the better
118) Trump has admitted to having poop-sex with 17 hookers from Kazakhstan
Isn't that a matter of his own privacy?
119) Trump has sold 41 nuclear weapons to north-korea
About time someone did something to increase exports to Asia!
120) Trump has changed the constitution to allow himself unlimited terms
HRC did something just as bad. People don't care.
Because not everyone weighs every issue or fact in an identical manner? Otherwise, every election would be 100% landslide one way or the other.
That is a fact of psychology, however either you believe one candidate is better for objective reasons, or you think it is a tie, or you vote for the candidate which would benefit you more than the other.
I would definitely have voted for Sanders but probably voted for Clinton narrowly before Trump (or not bothered voting for either). I totally understand why people voted for him.
If you would not have voted Trump, why are the reasons you had for not voting trump not available for others?
Either Trump is the better candidate, or HRC is
Simon: Would you have voted Trump?
Why/Why not?
Liberal American has turned into a bunch of intolerant thugs that want to dictate not only everyone else's life, but also everyone else's opinions.
And that's just a fact that everyone knows?

1) The country is now run by a sexist pig who bragged about grabbing women by their genitals
2a) According to intelligence services, the election was influenced by a hostile government who waged a propaganda war in favor of trump.
2b) The president and key members of the cabinet have deep financial ties to Russians and have hinted changes to foreign policy that would severely benefit Russia. Let that sink in.
3) The president is an anti-vaxer and global-warming denialist.
4) The president is a conman (Trump U. and many failed business ventures.
But by all means let's have a discussion about the real issues, like feminism, or liberals being unkind, or that stupid thing someone said at a student union, somewhere
start treating Middle America with more respect,
The same kind of respect Trump et. al. is treating liberal America?
okay i was thinking about it.
and it is a transhumanist argument and nothing new, i do realise that before anyone points it out.
but it struck me afresh today that the resurrection must happen.. firstly, to state the obvious, a rational materialist conception of reality seems to exclude resurrection.
SBF:
The main issue I bring up is made worse by quantum mechanics but will also be present using purely classical mechanics. I think it is easier to discuss it using classical mechanics so let's just suggest there are no quantum effects and nature is 100% deterministic:
Plus my very rudimentary understanding of chaos versus classical mechanics suggests there is a problem with your suggestion that uncertainty at a micro-level due to chaos theory is multiplied as you go up. As I understand it, classical mechanics largely "works" precisely because this chaotic feature of reality is not multiplied up the scale, but tends to be cancelled out at the macro-level. The macro level at which human beings exist and function.
The problems I have outlined above are a fundamental consequence of how the laws of nature works. You can show in general that many equations will exhibit chaotic behavior, i.e. small perturbations in the initial state of the system grows exponentially as the system evolves. That is true about most interesting systems on earth including the atmosphere. The rate of exponential growth is governed by what is known as the Lyapunov exponent:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyapunov_exponent
You can of course ask if this theory applies to a decomposing body, however the question would be yes unless the body is frozen: The problem is the atoms in the body would interact with known chaotic systems, weather that is groundwater percolating through the earth or the air, both obviously chaotic systems.
This conclusion can only be altered if steps are made to preserve your body like freezing it.
On the other hand, if you are saying the universe is deterministic in itself but we can never measure it well enough for it to divulge its secrets, I am still left wondering how do you know?
The problem is not that we can't measure the universe well enough *at any given point*, but that to predict the past (or future) increases the level of precision required exponentially: I know that because it is build into the laws of nature and can be demonstrated mathematically. It is the fundamentals of chaos theory (see the wikipedia page).
That creates all sorts of issue for the resurrection like the simple fact QM puts an upper limit to how well you can measure things (Heisenbergs uncertainty principle) or that some information is bound to get lost (photons emitted to space).
