monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

I try to keep Aussie man at arms length, like orally. They know not of what/which/whatever they speak.

As opposed to you casting aspersions, being shot down in flames, and resorting to ad hominens.

I did not cast aspersions on anyone--is that a new word for you? You didn't shoot me down, as I've already pointed out. I have not employed any argumentum ad hominem fallacies.

75 Ways Socialism has Improved America

When Peter Ustinov was asked if he was worried by the fact that many Australians were descended from criminals he replied that it was the ones descended from prison guards who really worried him.

In a film about the Tolpuddle Martyrs there's a scene where one of the prison guards has sex with his dog.

You quoted an antisemitic source which constantly refered to "the Jewish senator from New York, Chuck Schumer" but made no mention of republicans sponsors of the bill. And yet this is explicitly a bipartisan bill.

Vade retro, Setanta.

I have never see you correct them with anything but insults. You continue to showcase your intolerance for differing opinions and the facts that back them up.

Anyone like to answer that? Hating Jews is being normalized and Democrats are helping.

Since you are anti-capitalist, I thought it followed.



Only from global domination plans of the Soviet Empire. Fortunately, capitalism helped ensure those plans would fail. What will happen with the Chinese remains to be seen. They have created their own uber crony-capitalist economy to help put themselves in a much better position to make their plans for global domination more successful than those of their Soviet cousins. but what might happen if those plans succeed? Who can say? My guess is that they leave it in place in order to quell extensive unrest among their subjects.

I saw the sunday polar-opposite news fights on cable. I was interested in Trumps dissing of Adm Wm McRaven for "not finding Osama bin Laden earlier.
Fox agreed with trump and, of course, CNN didnt.

So relatively minor impositions (achieved through the democratic process) are more unsettling to you than murderous assaults because you are more like to experience them.

To the extent that Christians organize politically, they are no more or less influential than the Resistance.

When using general terms it's good to specify exceptions and irregularities and that's what I find missing from some of the anti-muslim "hateful screeds" we see posted in this thread.

In other words, it's OK for you to generalize, but nobody else.

I think it is pointless to argue about the relative virtues of any given religion; especially when one condemns all religion. The issue is the actions of each religion's adherents that are committed in the name of their religion. There was a time, centuries ago, when Islam very much helped to advance and preserve human culture, while Christians were busy slaughtering people left and right. Unfortunately, that is no more. Right now in time, a very sizeable number of adherents of Islam are on a mission to destroy Western Civilization which might lead to a destruction of human civilization. Compared to that, depriving people of free birth control or insisting on the inclusion of Creationism in school curriculum seem trivial at best, regardless of how it impacts your personal life.

Worrying only about what affects you personally may be a natural inclination but it has often led, ultimately, to war, and very big wars.

All I expect from any reasonable person is perspective. If someone continuously goes on and on about the ills of Christianity, I certainly do expect them to comment on the ills of other religions. If they don't, I'm afraid I consider them bigoted.

How’s the leg?

Very clever.

Since he has been contending he is not argumentative and nasty, you may get away with it, but should you try it again...Oh no!!

In August, televangelists Paula White and Jim Baker had the nerve to call Donald Trump
a man of God who is under siege from evil forces.

Olivier knows I won't waste much time on him, because I know he only comes on-line to argue. Most of the time, he hasn't anything interesting to say, so why bother arguing with him? Finn is a different story--he's either playing this phony role of the thinking man's conservative, with prolix posts full of phony ruminative wanderings which just lead him back to the current far right-wing narrative. Apart from that, he just wants to sneer and insult and get away with it. When I happen so see him posting bullsh*t, I'm gonna call bullsh*t. For Finn, that apparently translates into nastiness. He must live in a hermetically sealed world in which no one ever contradicts him or disagrees with him. How stressful for him to come on line!

still busted up but thats not this thread.

I hope it feels better soon. I'm sorry I know it's not this thread, but when am I ever going to get the opportunity to post this?
