Ukraine defeat, Gaza slaughter: Where is the outrage?

newtboy says...

Disgraced Faux Judge “Spank me hard Daddy” Napolitano, Bobby? He’s the best you can do?
Wow, you’re really scraping the barrel.
A reminder….

What nonsense. Wishful thinking propaganda by America hating, democracy hating, Biden hating idiots and criminals. Good job bob.

EDIT- The outrage is out there, friendo. The UN is calling out war crimes. Many western nations are too. Many Americans are too. I have for decades.

Recently reports and evidence have proven Israel knew Hamas was planning the attack over a year before it happened, they apparently had the entire 40 page plan in hand, and was getting their own intelligence saying they were implementing the exact plan they knew about in the weeks and months leading up to the attack, the exact plan they implemented on Oct 7. Netanyahu’s administration decided to take no action at all, seemingly allowing the attack as a pretext to a war they wanted.

Friendly reminder, most Palestinians are pure Semites, direct descendants of ancient civilizations that spoke the Semitic language like Babylonians, Phoenicians, Cannanites, Assyrians, Akkadians, Arabs, and Hebrews… most Jewish Israelis are not even partly Semitic they are Europeans…so technically supporting Israel against Palestine is anti-Semitic, not the other way around like the official narrative claims.

The Paedophile Agenda

Mordhaus says...

The problem is that for Pedophilia to be accepted, we have to completely throw out age of consent. The same with Bestiality, we have to accept that animals like to get fucked by humans without being able to give consent.

The ancient civilizations didn't 'allow' pedophilia, they simply didn't recognize the same age of consent/idea of consent that we do. It wasn't just 'ancient' people either, even today societies around the world view consent differently in regards to when a human can reasonably give consent .

This is a spurious slippery slope argument because in most civilized, non 3rd world nations, age of consent is well beyond the age that pedophiles typically target.

Comedian Attacked By Woman

kceaton1 jokingly says...

It was the dick joke for sure, it hit WAY TOO CLOSE to home. Doesn't everyone agree? Why did I hit the sarcasm button again!?


--------
Now for those that wish to know a bit about that little monument...

I'll assume since he's a comedian he does actually know a bit about the Washington Monument (that is "typically" true for many comedians, they may make fun of something, but they tend to have a fairly in-depth knowledge of just what they ARE making fun of; though not always).

It is, of course, an obelisk. An obelisk was chosen for Washington (probably due to some of his Freemason views, who knows; they may have played a part--a decently big one in my eyes--lots of Washington D.C. is like that) as obelisks are some of the oldest structures in Egyptian culture--for George it was to mean this: "...to evoke the timelessness of ancient civilizations, the Washington Monument embodies the awe, respect, and gratitude the nation felt for its most essential Founding Father..."!

It was fairly hard in "its day" to make and complete; its original design was a HUGE undertaking but was scaled down along the way as resources and support dwindled. It took a very long time to finish and holds a great many distinctions, and most certainly isn't a, "...cement structure." (if you took that literally). It's marble and put together like a puzzle (kind of like brick and mortar, all the way up; a lot of it is marble--two different kinds, Pre-Civil-War, Post-Civil-War). For the time this was an actual engineering feat, from a degree due its height and size (when completed, it was the tallest BUILDING in the entire world--again explaining why it wasn't an "easy" build at all) and from there many of the "goodies" that were included within the project. BUT, the original design that would have made that monument quite different (not so "clean" or "empty") was changed by the final person with the say so, changing MANY details about the whole Monument from its original framework.

Look that up yourself, but one part is the fact that both the ground around it would be FAR different AND the Obelisk would look FAR different as it would be decorated with all the ornamentation, wording, symbolism, etc... From 1848 to 1884; from one idea to a fairly different one; one that was more attention getting and true to the Egyptian building, and their new ideas; to something different; a blank, clean look as it is now.

Big Budget Hollywood Movie About Noah's Ark with Russel Crow

martineister says...

Despite naysayers to the contrary, the Bible is historical and Reliogious fact. People try to claim that events in the Bible didn't happen ... i.e. there wasn't a Jesus (proven that has was born, crucified and that thousands reported seeing him post Crucifixion that even atheist historians agree on), David, Solomon, etc etc

Perhaps you should widen you mind's understanding to consider that perhaps the flood legends/records in ancient civilizations point back all to the common event of a world wide flood.

It is one thing to say that you choose not to follow God and what he stands for (thus Free Will), but don't be intellectually dishonest to claim that what the Bible records didn't happen. The proof continues to be provided and yet people don't believe. Even when Jesus, the Son of God was present and healing people and raising them from the dead, people still chose to turn away and call for his Crucifixion.

Just because you cannot conceive of a way that a world wide flood could happen doesn't make it not so. 200 years ago, we did not have knowledge of flight, DNA etc and the more we learn continues to demonstrate that we intricately complex designed by a Creator, God, and not happenstance. How people can claim evolution and believe in entropy at the same time is mental deceit.

Prometheus - Full Trailer!

wraith says...

When I saw the first teaser I was absolutely thrilled. Now, after seeing the full trailer doubts begin to creep in.
I keep remembering that Ridley Scott not only directed Alien and Blade Runner, but also gave us Kingdom Of Heavens, Hannibal, 1492.....and G.I.Jane.

The other thing that does not sit right with this trailer is the old (and stupid) aliens inspired/founded/visited/created all the ancient civilizations on earthe story that
a) remind me too much of Alianes vs. Predators and
b) does simply not fit in with the tone of Alien/s/³/4.

I keep my fingers crossed for a great movie.

The Hidden History of the Bush Family Dynasty

NetRunner says...

I like conspiracy theories that say bad or scary things about people I don't like.

I also like anything involving aliens, or ancient civilizations with high technology.

When Will We Discover the Extraterrestrials?

budzos says...

I can't stand the way the question "do you believe in aliens?" is so entangled with "do you believe that UFOs are alien spacecraft visiting the Earth?"

Those are two different questions!

Even at sublight speeds, a civilization that is millions of years old would have spread throughout the galaxy by now. So the question that always plagues me is "are we the first technological civilization?" or "do most civilizations that reach our stage end up destroying themselves before colonizing space?" Because a yes to either of those questions makes it quite unlikely that we'll ever see evidence of an ancient civilization.

Plus I think some of the crazier sci-fi concepts like Von Neumann machines, generation ships, etc. make perfect sense when you think about the nature of an ancient, growing technological species in any way similar to humanity. If they've existed much longer than us, even just a couple thousand years, it's perfectly possible that some UFOs are indeed alien spacecraft.

The Atheist Delusion

honkeytonk73 says...

Prehistoric tribal ancestor worship of the Neanderthal was wrong.. and it sank into the swamp. The Sumerians got it wrong, and their religion also sank into the swamp. The ancient Greek and Romans had it wrong for many centuries. Their religion fell over... then sank into the swamp. The Pharaoh (living God) worship of one of the longest reigning and largest ancient civilizations of the world, the Egyptians, was also dead on wrong. Their religion sank into the sand.

Now.. the FINAL AND ONLY CORRECT RELIGION STOOD! Christianity of course in all its divinely inspired holy magical sparkly magic-man infused goodness FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT!

Thats right folks. They finally got it right after many thousands and thousands of years (counting only actual recorded history since the ascent of literacy and writing mind you).

So. Isn't that proof enough?

Yeah. Really. Ok. Sure.

New Mexico - The best place in the Universe...

bleedingsnowman says...

No, I would disagree. I lived there for six years and the diversity in landscape is staggering. Sure, there's some desolation, but even that has it's own beauty. It also has mountains, forests, lakes, caves, ancient civilizations, canyons, valleys, and rivers. If you're an outdoors person, it has everything you would ever want. I would agree that the cops are jerks, but no more than most places. There are idiots everywhere and enjoying a place has to do with being there with people you like. I've never been to Wyoming, but Colorado is too sterile for me. The mountains are nice, but everything's too expensive and everyone is ridiculously protestant.

A Gay Brigadier General Asks a question

sometimes says...

@MarineGunrock
you say: The laws of ancient civilization are not what your average modern Christian people follow. Don't compare me to the WBC or any other nutjobs.


then what, might I ask, is the Christian basis for morals and behavioral standards?
is it, or is it not the bible?
is the bible the inerrant word of god?
do Christians get their morality from *some* verses in the bible? if so, how do they determine which verses apply today, and which verses don't?


Or are you following the teachings of Jesus?
Jesus himself never says anything about homosexuality. The Old Testament does, but it also says eating shellfish is an abomination. Paul of Tarsus talks about it, but he also tells people to not get married, and to stay away from women if possible.


I'm sure this will piss off a lot of divorced Christians:
Jesus actually forbids divorce, and says that marrying a divorced woman is adultery.
Luke 16:18 "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery."

A Gay Brigadier General Asks a question

MarineGunrock says...

Ok. Back inside from the 20 degree temperatures and done snow blowing (Woo global warming! )

@ Berticus: How does someone having sex with birth control negate the fact that two people of the same sex can not have children?

@ MINK: That "If you argue against it, then you're gay" argument is just lame. Sure, sometimes it holds true. But that is exactly the same thing as calling you a war monger because you want us to get out of Iraq. It's exactly the same thing as saying that Constitutional_Patriot wants to give up his civil liberties. It's exactly the same thing as calling dag (just a random name) a racist because he's disgusted with the KKK. Just because someone is opposed to something, that doesn't mean they are a latent whatever. It just seems like a pretty childish response. I guess I love high taxes.

Guns, Germs & Steel - Why Eurasia Has Dominated the Globe

raven says...

And by the way scottishmartialarts, you have no idea what you are talking about, did you even read this book? Or just skim through it while sitting in a coffee shop trying to look intelligent? First off, the part about the New Guinean islanders you have totally taken out of context, Diamond was pointing out that viewing one culture as 'primitive' is essentially a problem of perspective... He looked at average New Guineans, with their survival skills and knowledge of their own natural environment, the complexity of their everyday lives, and then compared all these practical skills and this wealth of knowlege to the skill set and knowledge base of the average Westerner, who, by virtue of his own everyday life, would in comparison to the New Guinean's mad jungle skills, seem quite an idiot.

As for what you are trying to verbalize regarding the Greeks and the Mycenaeans, it would seem that not only are you also not a historian either, so I'm not at this point going to bother going into it with you...

In any case, people, ignore the above, read these books! Especially Collapse it contains a lot of important information about sustainability and societal development in ancient civilizations that are, frighteningly, applicable to today.
