I just said that if you admitted to it, I would respect you more for the honesty seeing as how you obviously would never take a stand with others to defend your country. Why are you just slinging shit now? Obviously it's just to distract from your complete inability to defend your position on the original topic - but since we all know that's what you're doing, what's the point?

"I like cats" "anyone who posts here and likes cats is an idiot" is equivalent to "you're an idiot." This example is in the rules at the top of the page. You play word games all day long in here. I’ve been indirectly called a liar and a murderer so far by your standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where in the bible does it give an exception to "thou shall not kill"? All the rules we live by, including the rules of engagement for warfare (which we ignore when we need to) and the rules regarding controlling the fertility of our females are all made up by men. Pretending they come from above is complete bullshit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I’m sure all you’re going by is the one time you may have looked at an English translation, or French in your case, it said kill, and you ran with it.

That's not against the rules. You said it didn't matter if state law was too onerous since people could always hop over to California. You know that's not true, so why say it? Not a good look for someone who says he's here to convince people with truth and common sense. Neither is attacking Bill when you really should have noticed that he was standing up for you.

It turned out he was a scientist involved in developing radar. Hard to argue that developing radar wasn't a useful contribution to the war effort. Also hard to work on developing radar (or any new technology) while at the same time fighting on the front lines. Perhaps you can explain to the rest of us why nothing any of us could possibly be doing, no matter how essential, is as important as military service? Hi Don, I come from a large family of farmers. They were also exempt from the draft in WW II. My mother was a welder in the shipyards in WW II. They all served in a manner that they could. All of their service counted towards the war effort.

Killing for your country is the same as killing for your tribe or your gang. It simply goes back to taking resources from someone else by force, or protecting them by force. Killing is killing no matter the justification. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently most of the males who worked there on breaking the German and Italian codes during WW2 were branded cowards at one time or another. I find it highly hypocritical of a trained professional killer of humans (for BillV) to criticize anti forced-birth advocates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could, however the US throughout history has shown to be entirely incapable of really being successful with that whole invasion thing. Plus the Republicans keep telling us you have no more ammunition left and all the soldiers are now woke and transgendered. So maybe you can invade one of our Pride parades for story time?

However, I’m sure all you’re going by is the one time you may have looked at an English translation, or French in your case, it said kill, and you ran with it. not in the ten commandments... there is no difference between murder and 'justified' killing. It says 'thou shalt not kill'. only modern, white American jebus versions of interpretation broke it down into murder and killing.... and not in the scriptures themselves, but only in their narrow convenient interpretation of those words. you 'interpretation' allows you to dodge the issue of being 'pro-life' when we know that pro-life is anything BUT what christians actually are. The oldest translations of the commandments state 'thou shalt not kill'. As far back as can be found. but back on topic.... I thought this thread was about women's rights and not some dick-wagging competition over who served and who didn't and what a bitch some people are.....
