Robert Green Ingersoll (1833–1899) was an American lawyer, orator, and political leader known for his broad influence during the Golden Age of Freethought in the late 19th century. Often referred to as "The Great Agnostic," Ingersoll was a staunch advocate of secularism, skepticism, and humanistic philosophy, challenging orthodox religious beliefs and the literal interpretation of the Bible.

-

Born in Dresden, New York, Ingersoll was the son of a Congregationalist minister. His early life was marked by frequent moves due to his father's controversial theology, which often put the family in conflict with various church congregations. Ingersoll studied law and passed the bar exam in 1854, embarking on a successful legal career. He also became involved in politics, aligning with the Republican Party and supporting Abraham Lincoln.

-

Ingersoll's fame primarily stemmed from his skills as an orator. His public speeches, advocating for scientific skepticism and criticizing religious doctrine, drew large crowds and stirred significant controversy. He was a defender of civil rights and argued for the equality of women and African Americans. Despite his criticisms of religion, he was noted for his advocacy of kindness, love, and family.

-

Ingersoll's influence extended to various areas, including politics, religion, and civil rights. He was a prolific speaker and writer, and his lectures and essays contributed significantly to the spread of free thought and secularism in the United States. His legacy is remembered for his eloquent advocacy of reason and humanistic values over religious dogmatism.

 Ha! This nonsense again? Typical right-wing stupidity.

-

Any time right-wing nuts can insinuate or imply that young people are fat, lazy, stupid, too easily offended, too violent, too anti-American, or just want "entitlements," they will do it.

-

Spanking may lead to aggression; spanking may turn your kid into a bully; spanking may lead to depression; spanking may lead to decrease language skills; spanking may lead to diminish brain development; spanking may turn your kid into a coward who will rollover or kowtow to anyone they think is superior or stronger to them.

-

Where do you idiots draw the line? Is a slap in the face okay? How about a kick in the butt? Is it okay to spank a child right after you had a bad day at work? Is it okay to spank a child when you are really mad at someone else? Is hitting a dog okay? Is it okay to spank your wife?

-

I guarantee it. Once they convince weak-minded people that it is okay to hit children, they will want to spank women and beat animals too.

-

Don't be so stupid. Read a book or look it up.

-

Parents have beaten their kids senseless since homo sapiens became a species. It didn't stop wars; it didn't stop massacres and holocaust; it didn’t stop juvenile delinquency; and it didn't reduce crime.

-

There is something seriously wrong with you if you think that spanking or hitting a kid is okay in the 21st century.

 Jewish people were celebrated terrorists long before any Muslim:

-

Read Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. Moses and the “Israelites” were nothing but a raging and violent army that killed people and stole land. 

-

That 40 years "wandering in the wilderness" nonsense ... actually that time was used to murder boys and kidnap girls to build an army (Numbers 31:1-18). 

-

Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan and said to them, “Go up into the Negeb and go up into the hill country, and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many, and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell in are camps or strongholds, and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not (Numbers 13:1-14:38).

-

Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately.  But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves (Numbers 31:1-18).

 As far as recent history, the clock starts in the 1890s, NOT in 1921 or 1947.  

-

In 1897, the First Zionist Congress in Basle, Switzerland declared, "Zionism seeks for the Jewish people a publicly recognized legally secured homeland in Palestine" (Basel Program).

-

Everything that the Zionists did after that was a conspiracy to steal land in Palestine.  

-

One of the dishonest things they did was to quietly start paying poor Jewish people to move to Palestine in the early 1900s to flood the region with Jewish people.  They then started adding more Jewish people by providing aid and support groups to help the poor people that they had inserted into Palestine.  

-

And instead of meeting in Palestine to "buy land," the Zionists congresses met with mostly the British and White Europeans for almost 30/40-years in places like Basle, Switzerland; London, England; and The Hague, Netherlands ... anywhere EXCEPT in Palestine which is exactly what con-artists would do if they wanted to keep the residents in Palestine uninformed.   Look at the pictures of the delegates at the First Zionist Congress.  I don't see people from the Middle East.

-

For over 1,000 years, White Europeans expelled or murdered Jews. No one really wanted Jewish people in their own country so when the Zionists decided to steal land in Palestine in the 1890s, mostly White Americans and Europeans conspired to help them.  They had everyone in their back pocket before the people living in Palestine understood what was going on.

-

None of the countries in the Middle East supported this plan.  The people living in Palestine were never fairly advised or consulted.  They never would have had anti-Zionist demonstrations and riots in the 1920s if people were so willing to sell land to Zionists.  When the Zionists invaded, it was a bum's rush ... a forcible and swift ejection.

-

If I want to live or buy land in New York, I would certainly not go to North Korea or China to make deals.

The child mortality rate in the United States, for children under the age of five, was 462.9 deaths per thousand births in 1800. This means that for every thousand babies born in 1800, over 46 percent did not make it to their fifth birthday. ~ Aaron O'Neill

-

In 1900, 30 percent of all deaths in the United States occurred in children less than 5 years of age compared to just 1.4 percent in 1999 (CDC, 1999a; NCHS, 2001a).

-

In the 1960s, the infant mortality rate in the U.S. was 240.7 deaths per 10,000 infants.

-

During the 1960s overall, the US had 6.7 deaths per 10,000 among kids and teens ages 1 to 19. ~ karen.kaplan latimes

Brain injury is the most serious injury risk, with 26,000 children seen in emergency rooms each year for a traumatic brain injury related to bicycle riding [USA]. Bike helmets reduce the risk of head injury by at least 45%, brain injury by 33%, facial injury by 27% and fatal injury by 29%. ~ Johns Hopkins University.

---

In recent years, 76% of the pediatric patients who were hospitalized at Mayo Clinic because of a bicycle-related traumatic injury were not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash,” says Lombard. “Wearing helmets can decrease the chances of sustaining a serious head injury in a bike crash by as much as 80 percent. ~ Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research.

---

A study in The New England Journal of Medicine found that helmeted riders in the group they studied had an 85 percent reduction in their risk of head injury during a crash.

-

Cyclists sustain more head injuries than football players. According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, cycling played a role in about 86,000 of the 447,000 sports-related head injuries treated in emergency rooms in 2009. Football, on the other hand, accounted for 47,000 of those head injuries, and baseball, 38,394.

-

A February 2017 analysis in the International Journal of Epidemiology reviewed 40 separate studies and found helmet use significantly reduced the odds of head injury. They also found the odds of a fatal head injury to be lower when cyclists wore a helmet.

According to Stanford bicycle program coordinator Ariadne Scott, Stanford trauma surgeons note that 98 percent of people who suffer head injuries from bike crashes were not wearing a helmet. ~ Stanford

-

This review included five well conducted case‐control studies and found that helmets provide a 63–88% reduction in the risk of head, brain and severe brain injury for all ages of bicyclists. Helmets were found to provide equal levels of protection for crashes involving motor vehicles (69%) and crashes from all other causes (68%). Furthermore, injuries to the upper and mid facial areas were found to be reduced by 65%, although helmets did not prevent lower facial injuries. ~ Ivers R. Systematic reviews of bicycle helmet research. Inj Prev. 2007 Jun;13(3):190. doi: 10.1136/ip.2007.015966. PMID: 17567976; PMCID: PMC2598379.

This study has some limitations, but the results strongly suggest that Traumatic Brain Injury in adult cyclists could be reduced if cyclists in the Netherlands would wear a helmet more often.

Bicycle Helmets and Bicycle-Related Traumatic Brain Injury in the Netherlands

Crispijn L. van den Brand, Lennard B. Karger, Susanne T.M. Nijman, Huib Valkenberg, and Korné Jellema

-

Every year, some 50,000 are seriously injured in an accident and in around one-third of cases the victim suffers a brain injury, the doctors say. However, wearing a helmet cuts the risk of serious head injury by 60% and a deadly brain injury by 71%.

-

‘We aim to cut the number of cycling accident victims considerably in the coming years,’ said neurologist Myrthe Boss. ‘If that target is not reached, policy makers should seriously consider making it compulsory.’

-

Figures from national statistics agency CBS earlier this year showed that 229 cyclists died in accidents last year, the highest figure in 25 years. One in three was riding an electric bike.

A group of neurologists and trauma surgeons drawn from some of the leading hospitals in the Netherlands are calling on people to wear helmets while cycling, saying it will lead to a reduction in deaths resulting from brain injuries.

-

United under the banner Arsten voor Veilig Fietsen (link is external) (Doctors for Safe Cycling), the medics claim that of the approximately 50,000 cyclists who sustain serious injuries each year in the Netherlands, around one in three suffer a brain injury.

Skateboard-related injuries 

-

The overall mortality was 1.1% and ranged from 0% in the age group younger than 10 years to 0.3% in the group 10 years to 16 years and 2.6% in the group older than 16 years (p < 0.001). The incidence of severe trauma (Injury Severity Score ≥ 16) in the three age groups was 5.4%, 13.5%, and 23.7%, respectively (p < 0.001). The incidence of traumatic brain injury in the three age groups was 24.1%, 32.6%, and 45.5%, respectively (p < 0.001). The younger age group (younger than 10 years) was significantly more likely to suffer femur fractures and less likely to suffer tibia fractures than the older age groups. Helmets and use of a skateboard park were significant factors protecting against head injury.

-

CONCLUSION:

Skateboard-related injuries are associated with a high incidence of traumatic brain injury and long bone fractures. Age plays an important role in the anatomic distribution of injuries, injury severity, and outcomes. Our findings demonstrate that helmet utilization and designated skateboard areas significantly reduce the incidence of serious head injuries.

 Are you a psychopath or sociopath or do you perhaps have some other kind of antisocial personality disorder?

–
Are you sure that you are not projecting your own defective traits or psychological problems on to other people?

 Well, there it is … the authoritarian speaks. 

- 

You seemingly suggest that it's appropriate for government employees (many who got their government job because of nepotism, favoritism, cronyism, and racism) to menace "grown people" with looks of contempt, anger, or disgust because “it’s sad that grown people need to be told the obvious.”  Do you have that much contempt for all Americans or is it just Mississippians?

- 

You also declare that "people break the law everyday, everywhere" so much so that they need mean-spirited authoritarian cartoon characters to correct them.  Who in the world told you that mean-looking memes work on traffic lawbreakers? 

- 

It’s obnoxious because it tries to intimidate people (usually the poorest and weakest) who haven’t done anything wrong. 

- 

It's toxic because it conditions too many Americans to think that it's okay for government employees to give them dirty looks before they break the rules like a 17th century school headmaster.

-

It's toxic because it's contemptuous and an easy slippery slope to authoritarianism. Too many government employees may assume that it's appropriate for them to try to intimidate citizens before they've committed any infraction. How would you like it if cops stand at bus stops screaming at you to slow down before you were even speeding? 

- 

No government employee has the right to speak to any human being rudely. Every seventh word out of their mouths should be yes sir, no sir. If Americans let government employees act or speak discourteously, even in a cartoon, sooner or later they will bring out the canes and whips ala India. 

- 

This meme appeals to frighten people. It would not sit well with intelligent Americans who haven't done anything wrong. Go after the people breaking the law. 

- 

The message is important. Find a better way to express it.

 

They posted the message HERE for you which suggest that they think that “y’all” followers are bunch of idiots and hillbillies that need to be told the obvious.

 What?  Try using some common sense.  There is no date, no location, no facts, no way to quickly confirm anything.  Only stupid people would accept this as proof of anything. 

-

The kinds of clowns that generally would produce this unhelpful and mean-spirited meme are those that want to upset people who are already unhappy with their lives.  It also feeds right into the Russian and Chinese and other Anti-American Anti-Westerners' notion that Western corporations and governments can't do anything right. 

-

If you had any intelligence, you might know that many types of security columns are removable for special occasions.  How do you know that the security pillars don't disassemble for construction work or special events?

What a stupid and obnoxious meme. Like Americans don't already know...

-

Americans don't have to feel guilty for wars they did not want or start.

-

This is fake and meaningless patriotism which never has and never will help any soldier ... it's a distraction … a fundraising scam ... a cheap way for corporations and organizations and the government to pretend to care about soldiers without actually doing anything.

-

Corporations are making record profits; Wall Street has fresh record highs all of the time; Halliburton and their corporate buddies made billions of dollars from wars and because they don't want anyone raising any objections about the billions that they're stealing from American taxpayers, they wave the flag and distract Americans with images of American soldiers.

-

If patriots really want to impress me, how about announcing that Halliburton and their corporate buddies will write a check for each soldier killed or wounded or how about ensuring that their children will receive a free college scholarship or how about making it easier for vets to get medical care or how about getting congress to declare that their survivors are exempt from paying state and federal taxes for life or how about announcing that companies doing business in Vietnam have reached an agreement to actively search for MIAs?

================

Toxic. Malicious. No longer funny Anti-American Anti-Western propaganda.

This post was not created to make you better, happier, or smarter. It plays right into the hands of people who are already bitter.

 What is best to grow in zone 8b?

Asters, astilbe, bee balm, cannas, coneflowers, crocus, daffodils, dahlias, glads, hibiscus, hostas, hyacinths, irises, jasmine, lilies, peonies, phlox, salvia, sedum, succulents, tulips, and yarrow are among the Zone 8 plants we recommend.

 You know, Conrad, our ancestors, they were terrible people. They robbed, lied, pillaged, and killed, until one day, they found themselves noblemen. But that nobility, it never came from chivalry. It came from being tough and ruthless. Back then, to be called a “gentleman” would have been a death sentence. Not the mark of honor it is today.

Orlando Oxford, The King's Man (2021).

 

Nonsense. A stone-cold lie, most likely started by right-wing Christian extremists who like to project their own thoughts and feelings on other people.

 You know, I would venture to say that most of these amateurish-looking feel-good patriotic flyers are created by right-wing extremists and paid mercenaries with an agenda.

They don’t want people to remember that President Bush and his right-wing extremists killed over 250,000 people, or that his wars may bankrupt our country so they post pictures of wounded veterans and dead soldiers or other fake patriotic distractions to make people feel ill at ease about raising any objections to the tremendous damage they cause our country.

If people really want to help military families, go after Halliburton and their corporate buddies who made billions of dollars and demand that they make sure that their husbands, wives, and kids get an education and a career.

People join the military because they need a job, want training, want to travel, want to use the new GI bill, want to get away from their family, want the enlistment bonus, in a rut, or because relatives had joined. Most people do not join the military because they have a sense of patriotism ... that's just something they say about you AFTER you're dead.

And if you are a vet, you better understand that in corporate America, in spite of the commercials you see at sporting events, you don’t get to walk to the front of the line merely because you’re a veteran. Upper middle-class conservatives will not allow it. Upper middle-class conservatives ... the type that don't have to join the military are not going to let your opinions or experiences supersede theirs.

 Watch out for psychopaths and sociopaths posting FAKE rescue videos.  

 What a stupid meme.

This is fake and meaningless patriotism which never has and never will help any soldier ... it's a distraction … a fundraising scam ... a cheap way for corporations and organizations and the government to pretend to care about soldiers without actually doing anything.

If you fall for this kind of red herring nonsense, don't be surprised if you have a hard life. You will be gullible and easily deceived anytime you buy a house, lease a car, take a job, or make a deal in the business world because you don't understand the differences between actual facts, misinformation, and disinformation.

 Ugh.  This is a horrible meme.  They should have stated that Batman had 120-episodes over three seasons.  This meme makes it appear that the Batman series was inconsequential.  Almost anybody who was anybody in Hollywood wanted to be in a Batman episode.

Watch out for extremists or mercenaries or provocateurs (or Russian or Chinese agents) on Facebook that are just trying to create animosity and discontentment in America.

 Tik Tok is toxic.  IMO, almost every negative aspect of being an American (or Westerner) is featured or pushed to the top of the feed (abuse, poverty, lousy parents, unemployment, girls making money doing on-line porn, homelessness, car wrecks, fights, etc).  

-

So for every great tip on cooking or how to repair something, there are also too many soul-destroying videos that can be easily viewed by young people.  If people want to watch that horrible stuff, fine, but it should not be the default setting that pops up on someone's feed whether they want it or not.  Tik Tok is just too anti-American and I think that that's their end game ... keep feeding young people depressing videoes.

 Yet, here you are. Toxic. Pointless. Mean-sprited. Unhelpful. You come across as one of those extremists or mercenaries or provocateurs that are just trying to create animosity and discontentment.

What have you done to get him out?    

-

Watch out for extremists or mercenaries or provocateurs (or Russian or Chinese agents) on Facebook that are just trying to create animosity and discontentment in America.  

-

Nope!  Stay on topic.  You come across as someone that is just trying to discredit American journalists with disinformation and misinformation.  

-

The news just reported what Bush and his government told them.  You failed to mention the many people in the media who questioned Bush's WMD claims.  Go read/watch "Obama's Speech Against The Iraq War" in 2002 where he and others objected to "a dumb war ... a rash war."  And serious medical doctors would never say that COVID-19 shots would ensure that someone would never get COVID.

 Did journalists carry water testing kits in their back pocket in your day?  Will my aquarium water testing strips work?  What are they testing for?  Are journalists certified or qualified to be "doing their own testing?"  Fully fledged sci laboratories have said that they don't have the information or resources to test  but somehow you think that journalists can do their own testing?   -

Plainly, this is an attack against American journalists.  Straight up disinformation and misinformation on your part. 

 -

Yes, I agree.

Abraham, the so-called first Patriarch of the Jewish people never had any right to Palestine. The bible (what many like to use as a property deed) and even their own Jewish sources says that "god" told Abraham to leave his own family and country (Genesis 12:1).

-

The Zionists conspired to steal land in Palestine going back to 1897 so much so that they quietly started paying poor Jewish people to move to Palestine in the early 1900's to flood the region with Jewish people (First Zionist Congress, 1897). 

- 

For over 1,000 years, White Europeans expelled or murdered Jews. No one really wanted Jewish people in their own country so when the Zionists decided to steal land in Palestine in the 1890's, mostly White Americans and White Europeans conspired to help them.

-

Read Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. Moses and the “Israelites” were nothing but a raging and violent army that killed people and stole land. 

-

That 40 years "wandering in the wilderness" nonsense ... yeah, that time was used to murder boys and kidnap girls to build an army (Numbers 31:1-18).

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.  But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. (Numbers 31:1-18).

Misinformation has been spreading in the nearly two weeks since Russian troops invaded Ukraine. ~ CBS News, Mar 9, 2022.

 What? What planet are you from? Toxic and untrue. Cite your sources.

-

Are you sure that you are not some extremist or mercenary or provocateur (or Russian or Chinese agent) that are just trying to create animosity and discontentment in America.

 -

Ha!  What do you expect?  You made blatantly false, inaccurate, and misleading statements intentionally designed to generate bitterness and resentment.

-

"Children well dressed/nourished and trolleys full of food" is such an outrageous lie, I'm not going to waste much time disproving it. Anyone with a little sense would know that 30/40 percent of recruits were rejected during World War II due to malnutrition and that  government food programs started in the 1800s because millions of children went hungry. 

-

You are also believing a foolish lie if you think that mothers from the 1940s to 1980s would not have jumped on smart phones had they existed.

Federal officials discovered that more than 100 children were found working in meat packing facilities, many of them cleaning slaughterhouses with dangerous chemicals.

Read Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. Moses and the “Israelites” were nothing but a raging and violent army that killed people and stole land.  For example, the bible even says that the “Israelites” were going to steal land:  It is not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God is driving them out before you, in order to confirm the oath which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  ( Deuteronomy 9:5).
