Superstition

Well if you want rational debate you could start by not using the word 'superstition' to mean a whole range of things that the standard definition does not cover. I am not sure any of the things you listed can reasonably be called superstition.

Would you not rightly find superstitious elements in these things?
I avoided religion onpurpose on the op. I thought that was obvious

None of this is superstition.
I've never met or heard of anyone who thinks all refugees are terrorists
I've never met or heard of anyone who thinks that drugs are universally bad for you
I've never met or heard of anyone who regards the benefit of contributing to the economy as a superstition or falsehood
Your last piece of sentence makes no sense... ...[text shortened]... , got back to your country of origin, get a job and make a positive contribution to the economy.

Now you agree with absolutes like "drugs are bad" . Gimme a break. I thought you were like a bit smart or something.

As for giving me advice you are wasting your breath. The Earth likes me. I try to educate. The truth is that guidelines are closer to finding truth than "one size fits all" black or white ideaologies

he thinks he knows me. We've read each others posts for years. But you're right. I don't like people getting vomited on

No I don't.

"Educate"? You're a pot-head who fantasises about being a buddhist guru. 🙄

i don't believe in superstition. But on occasion, with a sense of humor, "i knock on a piece of wood" to get rid of the gremlins. (in truth, i take my hat off and clunk my head, LOL)

More oxymorons,eh?

Not Buddhist guru. Not even a monk yet, lol .

But your post back there did suggest you think in absolutes at times. (Didn't you watch Star Wars ? )

I have no idea what you are wittering on about, but your OP was utter bollox.

All superstition should be weeded out from rational debate. ...

Kicking rat nests, aren't you.

I don't think mankind is quite ready yet to be rational.

As a group, we are trying. We frown on crapping in the local stream, don't we?

No.

Perhaps you could pick one and explain where you see superstition in it.
