    Trump

    It is no surprise to me that that leaders of a right wing religion that suppresses women among other right wing beliefs would support a right wing candidate.
  2. He is not really a troll. He is a believer, sadly. He has been in my kill file for years.
  3. You will always be welcome in Winnipeg. Even if you don't bring a Caravan with you.
  4. The reason you don't know what those steps would be is plain. There are none.
  5. Just pry them from their cold dead hands. Yes America is special. Laws don't work there.
  6. I'm sure that in the end you will find that human nature is even more intractable and difficult to change than the 2nd. One is possible. The other is not.
  7. Show me an example of an angry 15 year old boy massacring his family with a butcher knife. Or any other method not involving a firearm. I’ll wait.
  8. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter and yet another's fascist. But the word was first used by Mussolini who was not a socialist or communist in any sense. Historian Ian Kershaw once wrote that "trying to define 'fascism' is like trying to nail jelly to the wall" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism
  9. No, they aren't exactly the same. But even so it comes down to emotions overcoming logic. Mostly fear, anger, and hate.
  10. It's the same bullshit as RonD's. Facts are nothing, it's all about the feels.
  11. Yes, clearly there are many Americans who would prefer a right wing dictator over social change that involves treating people of all kinds with respect and dignity. Hitler also was able to tap into people's innate tribalism and distrust of others. You have shown that you understand Trump's appeal and that of the MAGA fear mongers. What side are you going to choose? And please stop with the communist/socialist boogeyman drivel. In the current two party system in the US there is no socialist option. Just two different choices each dominated by capitalist ideology and each supported by various billionaires trying to become trillionaires.
  12. They all have to find some way to justify what they must know is an immoral posistion.
  13. You are either for us or against us. Sound familiar?
  14. Not only that but most nations recognize this crime organization as a nation and send ambassadors to the Vatican. It’s power is still immense in the western world.
  15. She is not afraid to step the fray into and to bring the debate into unfriendly places. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/17/politics/kamala-harris-fox-what-matters/index.html

    The SC SC is overworked and underpaid.

    Trump

    This makes me think that most likely you are a lying liar just like your orange hero. You neither understand nor sympathize

    Trump

    I'm not the one saying go Trump, you are. Likely you don't believe in hell either or you would treat people better.
  19. I’m not saying that war is wrong. It is what makes us who we are. I’m just saying don’t be so smug and hypocritical.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. My step daughter is something of a linguist. She is living in São Paulo with her Brazilian husband. My wife is working very hard to learn Portuguese.
