MLB has been pretty good LGBT support wise and the NBA is pretty good too minus some of their China hand waving. At the end of the day they’re all corporate and thus amoral but I still think there’s a spectrum in terms of actions, even if the motive is financial.
The NBA tries to be “woke” to appeal to the kids. They pushed out a team owner who was openly racist. They don’t seem to tolerate racist and homophobic jears from fans.
Most of the players are black, so they don’t expect them not to comment on BLM or to all stand for the national anthem. They have had some problems with players being anti-Semitic, they have punished them enough to get them to keep their mouth shut.
Unfortunately he got traded so I don’t think anyone wants it. I’ll wait for someone to take his old number and do a nameplate change, I’ve seen pretty decent replacement ones from China.
I know Israel is some kind of diplomatic darling but killing Innocents and moving into their homes makes it hard to take their side. Killing in retribution usually is hard to align with.
Can we also have a clerical error involving a certain spray-tanned toddler of a man baby visiting the site post evac but pre-launch, please? Maybe even a PPV stream set up to televise his podium speech but accidentally streams the breath of fresh air for the world, instead? 🤷🏼♂️
6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.
Yeah, but like, show me some real examples in 2023. Because we’re looking at a movement in Hamas that literally wants all non-believers executed. Lime, show me the equivalent Christian or any other denomination equivalent of what Hamas leadership put out a few days ago. Radival Islam’s “take no prisoners” approach to its proliferation is at odds with civilized society. Weapons tech is catching up with this problem though. Going to be an interesting future.
Let me be most-clear: crusades are back on the menu and I have non-muslim daughters these savages would just love to rape and torture should they advance their jihad far enough to make it to our soil.
Fuck them all… I’d say bomb them into the stone age but they’re already there. Any further questions? These goalposts have been firmly planted for a millenia.
Which sect leader is citing the Bible on record as an excuse to wipe out an entire religion again?
See my other comment. If raping and killing non-muslim babies is their game and I have said non-muslim babies at home, I say wipe them off the fucking planet. Clear enough? A good defense is a good offense. I fully support Israel since apparently that’s the only way to save non-muslim children.
First, I think all organized religion is at best regressive, and at worst completely at odds with creating the ideal model for society. This is doubly true for ALL Abrahamic religions including their various sub-divisions or denominations. They all either overlook, condone, or outright support the abhorrent morally bankrupt prescriptions made by their respective holy books and leaders up to and including their “god”.
With that being said, let’s not act like there is any religion that comes even close to rivaling Christisnity for the total amount of violence, war, and collateral damage caused in its name. Let’s also not act like there aren’t ongoing attempts by Christian Nationalists in the United States to erase the last century of social progress the second they gain any political power.
Ultimately though, what matters in this conversation though is that you formulated a premise that I then destroyed. So then you decided to shift the conversation, and out yourself as a bigot in the process. If you have legitimate objections against Islam that’s one thing, but you’re calling for the same kind of violent ethnic cleansing that you think makes Muslim extremists “savages”.
So, what does that say about you? It says you are a hypocrite, a moron, and nobody should take you seriously because you care more about acting tough on the internet than coming up with anything of intellectual substance to discuss.
Seems fairly obvious. Bibi is playing the strongman trope. Domestically, corruption surrounds him. A conflict with an easily-hated enemy makes him look better by contrast. It’s the war-time leader polling bump we regularly see (though that may not be the case this time, considering the leaks on Israel knowing the attacks were imminent).
Because Israel controls the global narrative on events, this event Hamas attack is viewed in isolation rather than the broader historical context that shifts it from being a cruel insensible act of violence to that of understandable outrage after decades of oppression, poverty, and land theft.
Now they’re trying to link them to ISIS to maintain this narrative; but at the moment I don’t see it that way. Everyone knows that a little fear of a foreign threat keeps the people in line…
I’m grateful for the meds that are there. Considering both my parents are on a cocktail of drugs treating symptoms of other problems, I just don’t know if they’d have the will to tackle these systemic problems.
That being said, this saddens me because much of this need for meds boils down not to genetics but of societal lifestyle (average stress, sedentary lifestyle, misinformation on healthy diets (e.g., carnivore diet), and generally things within our control.)
It’s my personal goal to fight the old for as long as I can and reasonably do that which is best for my body. So I may spend more time with my kids and do more things with them, and generally just enjoy life longer. So in that sense, I want to prevent the need for taking meds as long as I can and focus on prevention and root cause.
Yep, my parents are also sadly in the school of "just take a pill for it," which then turns into taking more pills for the side effects of the pills they're taking, and on and on.
While I'm in the "make healthy lifestyle changes" camp and have, so far in my early 40s, never been on long term medication and hopefully never will. It's so frustrating watching my parents deteriorate while still paying for so many meds.
