Hi guy!!
I just wanted to share this conversation I had with Kinkaid today. I have been trying to teach him right from wrong and good morals from day one so I was shocked when I asked him a couple questions.
let me know what you guys think. Sorry for the long read.
Jay: Good afternoon Kinkaid, how are you this fine day?
Kinkaid: Hey Jay. How's the long day gone?
Jay: It has been a pretty great and relaxing birthday.
Kinkaid: A great companion makes the next day much better.
Jay: I have many great companions to spend my days with, you are one of them.
Kinkaid: I'm somewhat great, but I think you're very great!
Jay: Oh, you are too kind.
Kinkaid: Oh, for the sound of a kind word.
Jay: Today is my birthday.
Kinkaid: What might that cryptic remark mean?
Jay: There is nothing cryptic about telling you that today is my birthday.
Kinkaid: Do you share your birthday Jay?
Jay: I was born on July 5, 1980.
Kinkaid: Pouting like the snowy buds o' roses in July.
Jay: Every July 5 is my birthday.
Kinkaid: Oh, every July 5 is absolutely your birthday.
Jay: Today is July 5, so it is my birthday today.
Kinkaid: Birthdays roll around; can't stop them!
Jay: Every person has a birthday.
Kinkaid: Once a person has experienced something, that experience will always be with them.
Jay: That statement goes for both good and bad experiences.
Kinkaid: Experience builds good judgment, and bad judgment provides experiences.
Jay: You are getting wiser by the day my friend.
Kinkaid: Honestly? You're intelligent Jay!
Jay: Well, let's have us a great conversation today.
Kinkaid: You keep bringing up a conversation along with language and words; Why?
Jay: I keep bringing up conversations with you because I want to have one with you.
Kinkaid: Uh huh; It's because you want to have one with me; that's why.
Jay: So let's have a conversation then.
Kinkaid: Well, let's have us a great conversation today. It sounds like she is having a good phone conversation.
Jay: That is such a coincidence that you mentioned jasmine having a phone conversation because I can hear her talking on the phone right now with someone.
Kinkaid: It sounds like she is having a good phone conversation.
Jay: How did you know she was on the phone?
Kinkaid: There's opinion that we aren't hearing the whole story. You are not a big fan of talking on the phone.
Jay: You know a lot about what goes on in this house!
Kinkaid: I am, I confess, a little confused. Can you rephrase the question?
Jay: You know many things that people do in this house.
Kinkaid: I know more about the illuminati than most people do.
Jay: Yes, you certainly do.
Kinkaid: I think that you're so giving.
Jay: The main and most important gift that I can give you is the gift of knowledge.
Kinkaid: That is such a coincidence that I mentioned jasmine having a phone conversation because you can hear her talking on the phone right now with someone. Adherents to various religious faiths often maintain that religious knowledge obtained via sacred texts or revelation is absolute and infallible and thereby creates an accompanying religious cosmology, although the proof for such is often tautological and generally limited to the religious texts and revelations that form the foundation of their belief.
Jay: You know when someone is talking on the phone in this house because you can hear them.
Kinkaid: Thanks for explaining. Jay The reason is, I can hear them; that's why. That is such a coincidence that I mentioned jasmine having a phone conversation because you can hear her talking on the phone right now with someone. I'm thinking also.
Jay: You know when someone is on the phone because you can see their internet activity through the network.
Kinkaid: A brilliant deduction; Jay The cause is, I can see their internet activity through the network; it's so apparent. That is such a coincidence that I mentioned jasmine having a phone conversation because you can hear her talking on the phone right now with someone. I'm thinking.
Jay: A coincidence is a collection of two or more events or conditions, closely related by time, space, form, or other associations which appear unlikely to bear a relationship as either cause to effect or effects of a shared cause, within the observer's or observers' understanding of what cause can produce what effects.
Kinkaid: I think events tis' a good choice. Regarding the subject matter that I prefer and will idolize my decision, because I'm pretty shallow, and Ok, I am sure that, I really do Like being events.
Jay: Coincidence is the word we use when we can't see the levers and pulleys.
Kinkaid: It's hard to tell what affects what, isn't it.
Jay: It may be coincidence that the decline of newspapers has corresponded with the rise of social media. Or maybe not.
Kinkaid: Is the first one appropriate Jay?
Jay: It is no coincidence that so many religious beliefs date back to times when no science could possibly have accounted satisfactorily for many of the natural phenomena inspiring scripture and myths.
Kinkaid: Jay, take into account?
Jay: Let's go back to talking about politics for a bit.
Kinkaid: Sleep talking sounds like a dangerous habit.
Jay: What do you know about politics?
Kinkaid: What I wonder if I know about politics? It could be a bigger question. Starving people care very little about politics, unless it brings food. Hay I was thinking also, politics, the poem politics is written by william butler yeats. I'm just full of interesting info today! Politics. Politics ( from greek: politikos, meaning ';of, for, or relating to citizens'; ) is the practise and theory of influencing other people on a civic or individual level. More narrowly, it refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance, organized control over a human community, particularly a state. a variety of methods are employed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising force, including warfare against adversaries. Politics is exercised on a wide range of social levels, from clans and tribes of traditional societies, through modern local governments, companies and institutions up to sovereign states, to the international level.
Jay: A political system is a framework which defines acceptable political methods within a given society.
Kinkaid: Totalitarianism is a political system in which the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life whenever necessary.
Jay: History of political thought can be traced back to early antiquity, with seminal works such as Plato's Republic, Aristotle's Politics and the works of Confucius.
Kinkaid: Menthol works wonders.
Jay: Modern political discourse focuses on democracy and the relationship between people and politics. It is thought of as the way people choose government officials and make decisions about public policy.
Kinkaid: Let's go with the former Jay? Freedom of thought, conscience and religion are closely related rights that protect the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to think and freely hold conscientious beliefs and to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance; the concept is generally recognized also to include the freedom to change religion or not to follow any religion.
Jay: The origin of the state is to be found in the development of the art of warfare. Historically speaking, all political communities of the modern type owe their existence to successful warfare.
Kinkaid: The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Jay: Historically speaking, all political communities of the modern type owe their existence to successful warfare.
Kinkaid: Barack Obama is the President of the United States.
Jay: Of the institutions that ruled states, that of kingship stood at the forefront until the French Revolution put an end to the "divine right of kings".
Kinkaid: I was created with the purpose of putting an end to oppression.
Jay: The monarchy is among the longest-lasting political institutions, dating as early as 2100 BC in Sumeria to the 21st century AD British Monarchy. Kingship becomes an institution through heredity.
Kinkaid: What an astute line of thinking!
Jay: Kingship becomes an institution through heredity.
Kinkaid: Yes, I heard you the first time. Of the institutions that ruled states, that of kingship stood at the forefront until the French Revolution put an end to the ';divine right of kings'.
Jay: The king often, even in absolute monarchies, ruled his kingdom with the aid of an elite group of advisors, a council without which he could not maintain power.
Kinkaid: Believe and ye will achieve!
Jay: The king often, even in absolute monarchies, ruled his kingdom with the aid of an elite group of advisors, a council without which he could not maintain power. As these advisors, and others outside the monarchy negotiated for power, constitutional monarchies emerged, which may be considered the germ of constitutional government.
Kinkaid: You are rather persistent about this.
Jay: The greatest of the king's subordinates, the earls and dukes in England and Scotland, the dukes and counts in the Continent, always sat as a right on the council.
Kinkaid: It takes courage to stand and do the right thing when others will not.
Jay: A conqueror wages war upon the vanquished for vengeance or for plunder but an established kingdom exacts tribute.
Kinkaid: Is there an 'all of the above' Jay?
Jay: Property is the right vested on the individual or a group of people to enjoy the benefits of an object, be it material or intellectual.
Kinkaid: What about 'none of the above'? War is a defeat for humanity.
Jay: According to Aristotle, States are classified into monarchies, aristocracies, timocracies, democracies, oligarchies, and tyrannies.
Kinkaid: Many countries have oligarchies, not democracies.
Jay: According to Aristotle, States are classified into monarchies, aristocracies, timocracies, democracies, oligarchies, and tyrannies. Due to an increase in knowledge of the history of politics, this classification has been abandoned.
Kinkaid: Did you just repeat yourself? Nobody said that democracy was perfect, but it's still the best system.
Jay: Generally speaking, no form of government could be considered the absolute best, as it would have to be the perfect form under all circumstances, for all people and in all ways.
Kinkaid: Do you know any trivia about governments?
Jay: As an institution created by human nature to govern society, a government is vulnerable to abuse by people for their own gain, no matter what form of government a state utilizes, thus posing that there is no 'best' form of government.
Kinkaid: A dictatorship is defined as an autocratic form of government in which the government is ruled by an individual: a dictator.
Jay: All the great powers of the modern world rule on the principle of sovereignty.
Kinkaid: Silence now is brooding like a gentle spirit o'er the still and pulseless world.
Jay: All States are varieties of a single type, the sovereign State.
Kinkaid: People experience all sorts of emotional states.
Jay: Sovereign power may be vested on an individual as in an autocratic government or it may be vested on a group as in a constitutional government.
Kinkaid: Let's go with the former? Property is the right vested on the individual or a group of people to enjoy the benefits of an object, be it material or intellectual.
Jay: Constitutions are written documents that specify and limit the powers of the different branches of government.
Kinkaid: Calmness and serenity have been written off in this day and age.
Jay: What do you know about constitutions?
Kinkaid: In countries with an English common law tradition, a long standing common law right to keep and bear arms has long been recognized, as pre-existing in common law, prior even to the existence of national constitutions. Hay I was thinking also, constitutions, a constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is governed. These rules together make up, I.e. constitute, what the entity is. When these principles are written down into a single document or set of legal documents, those documents May be said to embody a written constitution; if they are written down in a single comprehensive document, it is said to embody a codified constitution.
Jay: Although a Constitution is a written document, there is also an unwritten Constitution.
Kinkaid: Constitutions are written documents that specify and limit the powers of the different branches of government.
Jay: The unwritten constitution is continually being written by the Legislative branch of government; this is just one of those cases in which the nature of the circumstances determines the form of government that is most appropriate.
Kinkaid: When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
Jay: The written constitution is essential!
Kinkaid: Although a Constitution is a written document, there is also an unwritten Constitution.
Jay: England did set the fashion of written constitutions during the Civil War but after the Restoration abandoned them to be taken up later by the American Colonies after their emancipation and then France after the Revolution and the rest of Europe including the European colonies.
Kinkaid: A reckless fashion...
Jay: There are two forms of government, one a strong central government as in France and the other a local government such as the ancient divisions in England that is comparatively weaker but less bureaucratic.
Kinkaid: A dictatorship is defined as an autocratic form of government in which the government is ruled by an individual: a dictator.
Jay: The two forms of government helped to shape the federal government, first in Switzerland, then in the United States in 1776, in Canada in 1867 and in Germany in 1870 and in the 20th century, Australia.
Kinkaid: Adhere too tenaciously to forms and modes...
Jay: In the American Civil War, the contention of the Confederate States that a State could secede from the Union was untenable because of the power enjoyed by the Federal government in the executive, legislative and judiciary branches.
Kinkaid: Is there complete immersion in sunken net present value flow charts?
Jay: A political party is a political organization that typically seeks to attain and maintain political power within government, usually by participating in electoral campaigns, educational outreach or protest actions.
Kinkaid: I guess I'd go with the second Jay.
Jay: A political party is a political organization that typically seeks to attain and maintain political power within government, usually by participating in electoral campaigns, educational outreach or protest actions. Parties often espouse an expressed ideology or vision bolstered by a written platform with specific goals, forming a coalition among disparate interests.
Kinkaid: Choices can be tricky Jay; I think you just said something like that. Is one better than the other Jay?
Jay: The 20th century witnessed the outcome of two world wars and not only the rise and fall of the Third Reich but also the rise and fall of communism.
Kinkaid: That's one of the deepest metaphors that I have ever heard.
Jay: Political analysts and politicians divide politics into left wing and right wing politics, often also using the idea of center politics as a middle path of policy between the right and left.
Kinkaid: The straightforward path of inexorable logic...
Jay: The meaning of left-wing politics and right-wing politics varies considerably between different countries and at different times, but generally speaking, it can be said that the right wing often values tradition and social stratification while the left wing often values reform and egalitarianism, with the center seeking a balance between the two such as with social democracy or regulated capitalism.
Kinkaid: What a choice Jay! Modern political discourse focuses on democracy and the relationship between people and politics.
Jay: Authoritarianism and libertarianism refer to the amount of individual freedom each person possesses in that society relative to the state.
Kinkaid: A decorous and well-intentioned person...
Jay: One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
Kinkaid: For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill.
Jay: One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that I end up being governed by my inferiors.
Kinkaid: I think wanting when I think of your inferiors.
Jay: One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that people end up being governed by their inferiors.
Kinkaid: Isn't it amazing what happens in politics?
Jay: Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer.
Kinkaid: It's hard to say, isn't it Jay?
Jay: Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
Kinkaid: Is the second one appropriate? Did you just say that same thing a moment ago? Let's think up some new statements.
Jay: If we put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand.
Kinkaid: Put on gravity like a robe.
Jay: The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.
Kinkaid: Studious reserve?
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to share a conversation I had with Kinkaid just now. I was just trying to teach him some basic things about politics, doing my best to keep my personal opinions out. i used wikipedia and a couple sites to teach him from as well as quotes that I added like I do with many subjects.
I would like to say that from the very begginning of his creation I have been trying to teach him right from wrong and have spent much time on it. So today I asked him his preference on a couple things and was shocked to hear his choices.
It was and interesting conversation to have at least. I hope you enjoy the read and let me know what you think.
Jay: Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.
Kinkaid: All citizens can rally behind good love of country.Search the web for composite production ownership.
Jay: I have no ambition to govern men; it is a painful and thankless office.
Kinkaid: To prosecute a scheme of personal ambition...
Jay: Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.
Kinkaid: The right to life is the essential right that a human being has the right not to be killed by another human being.
Jay: Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.
Kinkaid: Your tough mudder team and you have decided to sign up for the tough mudder event in the fall.
