  1. Biden, to me anyway, comes across as more goofy than creepy. Kavanaugh, however....
  2. No, that's not a good barometer.
  3. That solution already exists: don't vote for them. It's like term limits. We already have term limit solutions in place. It's called voting.
  4. Neither. This is a weird thread.
  5. True enough, but 1) there are some reasonable, objective standards of creepiness (and I don't think Biden's actions here come close to that), and 2) Flores said that intent has absolutely nothing to do with it. Hold on there, Flo. Within some boundaries of reasonableness, intent does have something to do with it. So imo Flores is full of crap with that statement. Not to support Biden full-throttle, but this complainer comes across as whiny. He smelled your hair? He kissed the top of your head? Wow. The humanity. ** edit to add** And i'd much rather have a guy like Joe Biden in the lives of my female relatives than some phoney like Mike Pence who won't even meet alone with women. How's that for fairness in the work force?
  6. Yeah, get rid of the treehouse. That's a no-brainer. Put up a pole(s) with a "u" shaped support under the tree.
  7. I bet the background music was by the Dead Kennedys.
  8. True, but the statement was that they have no place to go.
  9. That's true, for the most part. But depending on how important the "right now" qualifier is, they do have somewhere to go: namely, other Arab/Muslim countries. Why don't some of the Arab "brotherhood" take them in? Probably for a variety of reasons, including that it is in their interest to keep fomenting the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
  10. Yahweh? No way.
  11. Hey, if English was good enough for Jesus then this reasoning should be good enough for you.
  12. Oh, jesus. Yeah, like with Medicare?
  13. Well, not to rain on anybody's 100-yard dash, but Special Olympics funding is no way comparable to Medicare/caid funding. It's not out of bounds to let private orgs fund the SO.
  14. Well, maybe it's not quite that bad, but the level of hypocrisy shown by a lot of so called good Christians is indeed breathtaking. I don't think many of them care at all about the teachings of Jesus. They are the modern-day equivalent of the Pharisees: they are political christians, not religious christians.
  15. The "Every Sperm is Sacred" bill. Strongly supported by the catholic church. * priests are excluded, of course
  16. Just learned that the lyrics by the Doors, "Mr Mojo Risin" is an anagram of "Jim Morrison".
  17. That their extensive Nat Geo collection is worthless? As in, no, 1/2 books don't want them. Neither do libraries. Neither do schools.
  18. There's no way a meth head girl would have an axe that nice.
  19. Isn't that in Two Corinithians? Jesus said "Yeah verily, fuck those Puerto Ricans. No stamps for the Sharks."
  20. I don't require anything as a "collective". Israel is the better US ally in that region, but a factor of magnitude over the Palestinians. Things aren't nearly as simple as you think they are.
  21. Here are some of the actions of Hamas that some seem to find ok, even "nothing wrong". https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/24/world/middleeast/gaza-protests-hamas.html Hamas security forces moved quickly to quell the protests that brought hundreds of people into the streets in at least four camps and towns across Gaza this month to demand better living conditions. The security forces beat demonstrators, raided homes and detained organizers, journalists and participants, about 1,000 people in all. Along with the uniformed officers, masked, plainclothes Hamas enforcers armed with pistols, batons and wooden rods attacked the protesters, according to witnesses, and prevented journalists and human rights workers from documenting the events. Since then, many Gazans say they have been living under a pall of fear — not of Israel this time but of Hamas. These are not ideals compatible with western liberal democracy.
  22. From what you've posted here, I'm sure you don't. ***edit to add*** This is, in a nutshell, what is wrong with the Palestinian mindset. There is something wrong with the actions of both sides. But one side here (the pro-Palestinian) can't see anything wrong with these actions. That's why this problem will never be solved.
  23. Israel is surrounded by countries that desire to wipe it off the face of the earth. Some of those countries even espouse that view as their official, national policy. Both sides are effed up. Imo, Israel is less effed up. And, while some here seem to slight this fact, the Palestinians will (imo) never be allies to the US. They were dancing for joy after 9/11. Do you think that somehow they (Palestinians) would suddenly "like" the US if the US turned against Israel and supported them? That's not how Middle East politics works.
  24. What you just wrote in no way negates the fact that a civilian population in Gaza sends rockets into Israel.
