You can pretend how you like but your obsession with male homosexuality comes across as projection. It makes me wonder if you didn't choose Green Beret's for the purpose. Go ahead and tell me I'm a fag or that I think like a girl or whatever is next up on your program of deflecting insults. I couldn't care less as neither are personal attacks to me.

nigel99 521 #133 December 13, 2024 I’m wondering what would make the CEO’s and politicians wake up and pay attention to the masses? Democracy is broken for most of us in the west as the politicians have their snouts in the trough. So voting them out isn’t realistically an option. Essentially we need a revolution and course correction to redress the balance. Without living in lala land and believing that thoughts and prayers would fix it, what non violent options are there? Violence is distasteful, and certainly should never be the first resort. But, being honest this single event dominated world news for a few days and got people’s attention. It seems that Karl Marx pretty accurately summed it up with the bourgeoisie exploiting the proletariat. With what I’ve learned about Marx I do wonder why it’s such an insult? Unless it’s a desperate attempt by the elite to ensure people don’t think too much about the reality. Taking violence off the table how do we get the attention of corporations board members?

Sometimes a question answers itself: we must send nicely worded letters commending them for jobs well done while observing in the softest possible terms that even the price of cake has risen impossibly to where all chance for a comfortable retirement with full bellies has vanished for the billions of people who aren't paid millions per year or more. Confirm that the slightest hard feelings are in no way held by those freezing to death in unheated hovels owing fuel costs or whose loved ones are dying horribly while health care approvals are awaited. Maybe include a nice box of Godiva Chocolates as a thank you for reading the letter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In 2018, Paul Manafort pled guilty to conspiring against the United States in concert with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian agent. Sorry! Manafort admitted it.

I also believe, if guilty, the penalty should fit the crime. I believe the sentence should be carried out by the justice system and not vigilantes. I’m assuming that you were just being hyperbolic. I already know - from first hand experience - how large health management organizations starve the wounded. I have also read of hundreds of similar tales of woe. Whether the decision to starve the wounded was made by a CEO or a faceless, nameless minion does not matter because the organization as a whole is guilty of starving the wounded. But I suppose that enough faceless, nameless minions are involved in a decision, then no single minion is guilty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #140 December 13, 2024 21 hours ago, airdvr said: An annual ham dinner and chocolates? Were you joking? I hope that you realize the hypocracy of your statement. Jesus was born into a Jewish family, attended synagog and called himself a Jew. Most of what Jesus taught was just variations on the Jewish Old Testament. Most of Jesus first round of converts were not so much converts as they were merely born Jewish and were listening to Jesus repeat lessons from the Jewish holy books. There is a scientific reason why Jews have a prohibition against eating pig flesh. Jews and Muslims do not ear pork/ham because the Middle East is too hot for pigs to grow up healthy. Plenty of diseases that afflict pigs are too easy to transfer to humans. Diseases like trichina worms can be easily absorbed when you eat tainted pig flesh.

Well then, are you willing to reassess your concerns about a flood of rapists crossing the border given that your concerns are based on fantasy? I'm curious, how many undocumented Mexican types have saved a documented someones life after crossing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
