If I produce or sell Ferrock, would I be guilty of anti-cementism?

Joe's comment was the catalyst for a war that has now produced over 1 million casualties.

That is so stupid it passes through infinity and beyond. Putin started the war when he annexed Crimea.

Trump’s plan of appeasement to Russia is ludicrous. Russia will take and take and take until it is stopped. Russia believes every piece of land it has troops in belongs to Russia.

In Matthew 18 he spoke about how terrible it was to cause children to sin.

I’m sorry are you saying that when a child is diddled it is the child that has sinned?

is also making a moral statement that it is good and normal.

And the only reason the vast majority don’t is because of religion and in a secular society religion does not get to make the rules.

That’s why some religious folks reject society like the Amish instead of trying to force society to abide by religions rules.

Its about indoctrinating kids with lgbt is great and its okay to indulge in it.

What’s wrong with that? If a kid’s gay they need to know that they are not monsters.

-- A2SG, what you, personally, accept is, of course, your own business, but you are not society....

I sometimes note how on the one hand some people describe not being ‘worldly’ as a positive trait but then feel justified to opine on ‘worldly’ subjects.

Out of interest, why does it matter if the earth is round or flat?

Are we trying to ascertain biblical explanations versus man or are we just making a thread to pass the time?

I've often asked how the matter of a flat earth vs a round earth really matters in the grand scheme of accepting Jesus as a person's personal saviour and the salvation of the soul, and it often boils down to the very blase thinking of "But if this part of the Bible is incorrect, then what if it's all incorrect?!"

Which... you know, is a thing that's been happening in Christianity since it's very foundation as a unified religion in Rome all those centuries ago so... it's weird.

You quoted my post referring to young, non sexual kids being exposed to sexual gender dysphoria. The question really should be, why should they be exposed?

So if they experience it they will know what it is and be able to talk about it and be supported.

When was silence a good thing for anything important?

The tenets of Christianity are de facto moral and ethical tenets for me but I don’t push them on anyone. I would expect the LGBTQ tenets to not be pushed on me.

Who is forcing you to be LGBTQ?

Well, there IS a Russian version of the “Orthobros”, and they are those that seek to venerate Stalin and dream of the Russian Empire (or of a “Christianized Soviet Union”), and tend to identify Orthodoxy with “Holy Rus”. For years I stood in our parish consciously aware that I was a walking rebuke to that attitude, that a representative of their Cold War enemy was standing among them and worshiping with them.
That’s all gone with the wind, now, though.

I completely understand patriotism and even a longing for "glory days" of the past, but how Stalin gets venerated among Christians is bizarre to me. Are these bros ignorant of history? Do they know that the people of Belarus and Ukraine often welcomed Nazi soldiers marching in by throwing flowers at their feet, because they initially thought they were being liberated from Stalin? (Until they quickly found out otherwise.)

Sorry I was wrong just as I have explained to @David Lamb in the above post.

Which is a stupid and suspicious mistake to make since no-one from that area could mistake the Bristol Channel for the Irish sea.

Once again it's down to perspective.

Not at all. Once again: the elevation for the Isle of Man is 48 metres above sea level. My area of North Wales is at sea level, so by any logic, I should easily see such a taller object at 70 miles out to sea with no change in my own perspective on a flat earth, due to the fact that the object I'm looking at is significantly taller. But I do not see it and cannot see it with the naked eye.

But as I have said, perspective makes things look smaller and smaller, the further they are from the observer, so are you claiming that Cornwall is so small, and/or so far from where you live, that perspective cause it to be invisible?

But if the earth is flat, why can't you also see the north coast of Cornwall from Carmarthen Bay?

Sorry my mistake it is the Bristol Channel.

@prodromos was right in it being 40 miles across, but that is from West Super Mare to Cardiff but I don't live in Cardiff I live on Carmarthen Bay & on a clear day I can see North Devon & Tenby.

But if the earth is flat, why can't you also see the north coast of Cornwall from Carmarthen Bay?

Are you simply assuming that an AI would be less capable of making a 'humane' decision than an emotional/biased human would be?

It would be less capable of making a correct decision, I think, partly because emotion is required for that.

partinobodycular said:
Don't studies show that the courts are already biased?

I'm not aware of any studies, but your question does open a can of righteous worms, lol. Imagine a very limited AI, which was truly blind as justice is supposed to be. I can imagine things like:

felony charges of waving bacon would be dismissed
a lot more women would be working rather than getting alimony
Iryna Zarutska would still be alive today.

I am not so sure about anyone trying to present a polished and virtuous image on the outside. I would like to see at least more of that.

I mean they are presenting a falsely polished and virtious image on the outside. We can notice how morality crept into politics and especially with identity politics. Identity politics promotes the idea that the outward appearence and associations are what make someone virtious. Rather than the individual.

We began to see celebs at ceremonies virtue signally and telling everyone how Woke they were and how we all need top be Woke and PC. We seen companies being socially hip and creating the image of being socially responsible while milking the cow behind closed doors for every penny they could.

We see social influencers promoting all sorts of moral advise as though they hold the truth to what is moral or not.

The media age has created a new reality where the outside can fool people. Its the perfect vehicle as it allows fake news, virtual reality, narratives and experiences all become tools to fool people. After a while its hard to tell good from bad. Bad morphs into good and good into bad.

Islam is now spreading in the US. Not to the same extent as in Europe, but with the same negative consequences. The new mayor of NYC is a socialist, and thus professes a destructive, misanthropic worldview that has long belonged in the ideological/historical waste bin.

What lies ahead for NY has been on display in London for years: Sadiq Khan has been mayor there for nine years. He won not primarily through broad support from native Britons, but through high voter turnout in Muslim-dominated neighbourhoods such as Tower Hamlets and Newham, combined with alliances with left-wing parties.

Khan, who is of British-Pakistani descent, has shaped London's politics to be Islam-friendly: he prioritised the construction of mosques, introduced hate crime laws that criminalise criticism of Islam, and ignored protests against radical preachers. Under Khan, London experienced several terrorist attacks (e.g., London Bridge in 2017); the city became the ‘Islamist capital of Europe,’ as a former MI6 chief put it.

In New York, Zohran Mamdani, who has embraced the ‘Defund the Police’ demand (which Islamist terrorist cells will only welcome), will now govern, while at the same time showing understanding for Palestinian ‘resistance’ against Israel and supporting the BDS boycott movement against the Jewish state. Mamdani also waffled around a clear rejection of the ‘globalisation of the intifada’.

Yup, far too many people in the west are so afraid of being called or feeling like a racist that they are refusing to look at the truth. They are voting against their own interests. Dearborn isnt going to be the only Islamic city in America.

ICE arrests McMinnville High School student during Friday lunch period
“This afternoon, we became aware of an incident off school grounds in which a high school student was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] during today’s lunch period,” McMinnville Superintendent Kourtney Ferrua wrote in a message to parents. “Students who were nearby witnessed the event. We are working to verify information through appropriate channels and remain in communication with local partners.”

The Yamhill County News-Register reported that the family of the arrested 17-year-old student said he is a U.S. citizen.

--
[Second link has been updated:]
[Update 11/22] Family of a Mac High student detained by ICE say he was released around 7 p.m. Friday evening.

Cesar Jimenez, the brother of Mac High senior Christian Jiminez, said the family was contacted by federal authorities around 5 p.m. and told he could be released "only if two family members who are U.S. citizens arrive in person to pick him up."

Cesar said his brother was "racially profiled, threatened along with his peers, dragged out of a car, and injured by shattered glass when ICE agents broke the driver’s window." He told The Oregonian that authorities are trying to charge his Christian with “interference or obstruction of investigation.”

So whats the rest of the story? I've watched too many people engaged in obstructionist behavior that im tired of people getting away with it. I hope this kid was charged and not just released.

ICE is only responsible for arresting these citizens. It's the Trump DOJ that is declining to charge them because ICE's lies don't hold up to even the slightest scrutiny.

Thats not entirely true. Too many are being released without charges. Thats ICE decision.

essentialsaltes said:
What makes you say that?

Because agents will be tired of going to court and losing.
