Socrates in the City
United States
Registrace 15. 09. 2010
The Greek philosopher Socrates famously said that "the unexamined life is not worth living." Taking this as a starting point, Eric Metaxas thought it would be valuable to create a forum that might encourage busy and successful professionals in thinking about the bigger questions in life. Thus Socrates In The City: Conversations on the Examined Life was born.
Every month or so Socrates In The City sponsors an event in which people can begin a dialogue on "Life, God, and other small topics" by hearing a notable thinker and writer such as Os Guinness or Peter Kreeft. Topics have included "Making Sense Out of Suffering," "The Concept of Evil after 9-11,", and "Can a Scientist Pray?" No question is too big -- in fact, the bigger the better. These events are meant to be both thought-provoking and entertaining, because nowhere is it written that finding answers to life's biggest questions shouldn't be exciting and even, perhaps, fun.

Baroness Caroline Cox: The Threat to the West's Cultural and Political Heritage
Chamberlain while in heat of battle, came up with the strategy to swing down on the enemy. It was a bold courageous move. So respect the Civil War soldiers in blue.
Kirk Cameron over there straight chillin'!
Ok. now she has all the habits of American culture.
Paul Harvey would be proud of Mr. Medved's telling of the "Rest of the Story". Definitely, it is a tragedy that what is taught in public school is an array of modified tales and outright lies instead of teaching the great and interesting things that happened. At the same time, we can't ignore or sweep away the darker sides of our history that we prayerfully not repeat them. The ironic thing is that most people (especially kids in school), find history awful boring, but if the real life historical details were included with the memorization of locations and dates, so many more people would desire to learn it. Public school makes learning anything awful dry and boring, and I think that's why so many struggle in school, because there is no thrill or interest included in what's being taught. When I traveled to OK back in Apr with a couple of friends visiting the various cultural centers of the native nations up there, it bamfoozled me how much the natives of America had with the founding of the US and in its first century. Things did turn south when natives started being kicked from their original lands, but for instance, some of our system of government came from the ways of Cherokee government, or how the founding fathers had input from chiefs and prominent members of native tribes while drawing up the Declaration. Something I never knew, was that the Cherokee were in tight with Andrew Jackson, at least until gold was discovered in GA where some of the Cherokee resided, leading to the Trail of Tears move to OK. Also, that Sequoyah, who devised the Cherokee syllabry and written language, was in the US military and served during the War of 1812.

Those who come legally to the country learned to speak English. This needs to be reimplemented.
A wonderful comparison is Lincoln with Stonewall Jackson wrt to faith. Tragically both were struck down and were victims of the war. Anyone know of a writer who has done such a comparison?
Seal Team 6= Wing Ding Ping Pong Poe gone!
I absolutely love her. I’ve listened to Yeonmi’s story multiple times and am so excited and honored to hear it again. What a wonderful, strong, wise woman.
Seal Team 6 = Wing Ding Ping Pong Poe gone!!!

What a pot of crap. 💩 self righteous idiot. Probably gets money for being there.
What about when you actually import your values to rest of the world almost on every given opportunity
And children are fighting for it. They believe they know more than you and our servicemen.
Welcome to OUR country.
Ha ha always looking to blame. Why can't you just be a human
Congratulations. You run away from a valuable human country North Korea to the west to become a cheap propaganda prost titue like what is happening to Ukrainians now
Zionist terr0rists
Yes its true. I think you just suck it up and deal with it in other situations. You don’t have any time for grieving.
No it's the devil bud
"The real threat to America comes from israel and the israel lobby"- Julian Assange
Prager is a joke. Ignore him.
Dennis Prager is a nut bag.
No. We need to stop conflating “The Jews” with “The government of Israel.” Israel’s government, like almost all governments on earth, is corrupt and does not represent its people.
You are a racist at best and most likely not so smart
Don't forget Latino America too.
Whinners
No, the Jews are the ones who are hated. Stop conflating your jewish interests with mine. You're the problem not us.
Why are the nice peace and prosperity and better life for my family moslems so quiet and not speaking up against the jihadists?
Jews who are actually Jewish, do not see israelis as jews. We see them as marauders and thieves, justifying a racist, colonial ethnic cleansing project in the wake of the german attempt to exterminate jews from europe. Capitalising on the holocaust to guilt the world into accepting their brutal treatment of the indigenous Palestinians. Israeli society doesn't allow criticism of leadership policies or doctrine. That's not jewish. Judaism rejects a jewish state. Therfore israel is not a jewish state.
We don't want this egghead's racism either.
She has the inner strength of a super human, and the character of a super citizen. We Americans are lucky she chose to live here and fight to defend our freedoms as individuals citizens.
When your grandparents run away from slaughter in Europe to the Muslim world, they too brought their values with them. We should have refused them
You spelled "genocide" wrong.
I see you’ve read the original charter of Hamas, where it says that the goal of Hamas is to destroy Israel and the Jews worldwide.
Yep
Thanks for posting
I’m not a lefty and I can see what Israel is doing! Disgusting
I think his tinfoil hat fell off, the left has absolutely nothing to do with hamas attacking Israel, this is a reich wing GOP (GASLIGHTING OBNOXIOUS PRICKS) MAGA cult of TRAITORS fever dream fueled by too much moonshine and poorly made meth!!!🖕🏻💩🟥🤡
Bolsheviks and Islamists teaming up to destroy western civilization.
The west is not Israel nor part of their problem. We wash our hands of your issues. Yes am a Christian and conservative.
Seal Team 6 no more Wing Ding Ping!!!
isnt she a fake NK survivor?
I thought he was going to go deeper into how Hollywood is making money off China out of respect for her but nooooooo disappointed 😔…at the end of it all they all friends.
If America had listened to Dr. Atlas, we could have avoided the locked downs, and thousands of lives could have been saved. Fauci would not have been able to get away with his money grab hoax. Little kids would not be getting a needle, ghab they didn't need. People would still have their jobs, and business's would not be closed down forever.
I can't imagine how a " North-korean" could afford plastic surgery on her face... and also speaking perfect American.
This woman is powerful, and courageous, and she is no dummy. How disrespectful of the FBI to discriminate or censor her, when she should have every right to think and speak for herself. Her thoughts and beliefs are very important and extremely smart in my opinion.
She looks like a bang bros production retiree
