Russia

Oh! Why didn’t you say so. He obviously raped her because she wasn’t his type. Good talk.

No. You didn’t get it. It doesn’t matter if she was his type or not. That’s not something you say when you are accused of rape. Unless you are going to rape because, she is his type.

He also confused her with his wife.

You know Trump loves Jews, right? He moved the US embassy to Jerusalem and supports every insane thing Israel does. Come to think of it, you support every insane thing Israel does, making your comment above even more difficult to understand.

That should be true but isn’t. About a quarter of the US looks at Trump and sees a saint. Another quarter sees what you see but is so amoral that they will vote for him anyway.

There is a difference between supporting Israel and supporting Jews. I don’t support what these Jews do. I do support israel.

This isn’t really an interesting case. What’s interesting to me are my own emotions reading this. I feel nothing. I actually get some sick satisfaction from knowing these men were tortured. Not enough to advocate it as policy. I haven’t crossed that line, yet. But I don’t feel angry at the Russians for torturing them a bit. They didn’t kill any of them. I’m not sure if I would have cared much if they had. Perhaps I am becoming the monster I despise.

That isn’t nothing and they weren’t tortured.

They are cold-blooded but where is your empathy, Reg? Those men are going to prison for the rest of their natural lives and torture is what they will suffer. I actually felt sorry for them. What they did was merciless and for that they will receive no mercy from any Russian court for it but their victims didn’t suffer the way they will.

Do you agree with what they did, Michele?

This guy is extreme, and I don’t agree with him about banning sex shops. To me, we should encourage sex and children. That said, many of his proposals seem sensible to me.

In January, he suggested outlawing vasectomies and punishing divorce with a fine or mobilization to the Ukrainian front. Milonov has also campaigned to ban men from walking around without shirts, labeling as “extremist” anyone who promotes a child-free lifestyle, outlawing Halloween celebrations, and banning fathers who failed to pay child support from being listed as male on official documents, because “a real man will never abandon his children.”

Besides North Korea and Russia, Iran and China form a powerhouse coalition. If we have to go up against them what does the U.S. have? Not much of nothing really. Great Britain…possibly. The only real super power that can stand toe-to -toe with either Russia or China. Canada doesn’t have a military to speak of. The Netherlands, Australia, Germany, France and Japan may back the U.S. but their armies are a fraction of what it will need should we actually go to war. I also don’t recall any of those countries committing to heavy ground troop support during the Iraq war.

That guy, Paul Whelan, is the one that garnered so much attention when Brittney Griner was released. Cheap shot on him but anyway, he’s been missing but the article doesn’t state he will be released or swapped. I do hope that lawyer has contact with him. This is one guy who deserves to be with his family, as much or more than that America-hating whore, Brittney Griner.

Reflecting on old posts…

Judging another persons skin type and markings is an indicator of poor judgment and usually comes back to haunt those who practice such things.

In the news…

Michele, the Bible clearly prohibits tattoos.

Leviticus 19:28 Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves

Matthew 5:7. Judge not, lest ye be judged.

I don’t judge them. I don’t have any power over them. I have no power to find them guilty or innocent. I have no power to impose any punishment on them.

I do have the power to say:

  • I find tattoos disgusting.
  • The Bible clearly forbids them.
  • The human body is a temple and it should not be desecrated by anyone, including its owner.
  • I believe tattoos are indicative of a kind of mental illness that holds the human body in its current form as something less than sacred.
  • Sanity is to care for your body as well as you can. Vandalizing it with graffiti is not caring for something, and is by definition, insanity.
  • If I was king of the world, I would ban tattoos. I don’t care about anyone’s right to desecrate themselves.
  • I am not king of the world, so I leave ugly tattooed people alone and do not bother them.

The Bible doesn’t say you can’t have tattoos. It says to not tattoo your body in honor of the dead.

You’re being so ugly right now.

Nonsense. The verse clearly separates the two points. First, do not cut yourself for the dead. Second, do not put tattoo marks on yourself.

I don’t think so. “I leave ugly tattooed people alone and do not bother them.” What more do you want of me?

Leviticus 19:28, “You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves.”

How does it separate the two? You’re penetrating the skin both ways.

It’s a long list and I doubt you would have time to read it but kindness toward others who are not as fortunate as you, for starters.

lol you really think nico is fortunate?
