LOL, yeah, this particular story plays very well into the narrative of anti-immigrant Eurosceptics and the “far right.”

It also draws into question the practice of peacefully resisting the repatriation of criminals…

I agree with the “far right” that deporting criminals is good.

Do you want to debate that, or is it beyond the pale?

I am not a racist - I hate saying that, because it is so cheesy. Half of my family are Muslims from Iran, and the other half are white & hispanic Christians and secular humanists. Maybe one of the reasons why I am so comfortable dissenting on this issue with other freedom minded & pacifistic people is because I am comfortable with people of other races, and have never thought that surely it is racist to deport criminals…! Surely I must be offending black & brown people by criticizing the deportation of a convict…!

I share all the crime stories I come across that interest me… You’ll take note that the overwhelming majority of them are apolitical.

I think it’s interesting to think about what it means for people to not deport criminals who go on to do terrible crimes because all of society is victimized by that.

Deporting criminals shouldn’t be treated like a racist plot, lol.

That is correct, she is absolutely fabulous down there with the rebounds.

In any other season, she could win rookie of the year based off of these crazy numbers alone, but even then, there may be better rookie performances historically than Angel’s.

While I think Clark’s performance as a rookie makes it a no contest on who should win it.

She is now deceased:

Ugandan Olympic marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegei has succumbed to horrendous injuries sustained after she was doused in petrol and set alight in her home.

Cheptegei, 33, suffered burns to 80 per cent of her body in Sunday’s brutal attack that was allegedly carried out by her ex-boyfriend, according to medical officials.

She was rushed to the intensive care unit at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya, in the hopes doctors could stabilise her.

But the facility’s acting director Dr Owen Menach this morning confirmed Cheptegei died late last night.

‘Unfortunately, we lost her after all her organs failed,’ Menach told Kenyan press.

The songs are pretty ghey

But, more importantly: they have a legit gay member (Lance Bass) and another guy whose last name is ‘Fatone’ (makes you think of a FAT ONE, and by ONE I am talking about p3nis).

We did it, guys - we have established that we want a giant penis to hit the earth!

I do respect the concern becuase his censorship on behalf of Israel was very irksome to me.

It totally reinforces some very terrible norms.

Nonetheless… I can’t bring myself to cheer anything like this on.

Hohohohohohohohoh

lol that song…!

Tremendous reference for those who do not know.

I disagree with you but the rationale for your position is pretty clear and I respect such a concern to prevent that violence.

But yeah, that is largely irrelevant to the Brazil question.

So he should assist an undemocratic censorship regime in Brazil? Sounds unprincipled & lame.

I do not like that elon has done some of that stuff in the past, but I support whatever upsets the Brazilian censorship regime.

I guess I think censorship by the government to control the narrative is always bad, so I side with Elon on this.

It is not really a mess at all when it is understood how the New Testament supersedes the Old, and the Old can only exist within a relativistic historical context. Revelation was progressive.

It is also the case that we Orthodox view much of the content of the OT to be highly symbolic, each passage having a variety of meanings, some of which are only historical in nature with the moral truth disclosed more discretely.

I don’t interpret this new passage the same as you, it clearly says the believers can’t leave their partner, only the unbelievers can, that’s not liberty.

This is about religious practice, though - it has nothing to do with liberty as it concerns the non-believer.

Being a believer means acknowledging a higher truth than oneself and shaping one’s life after it.

This is silly not just because it is wrong, but because it also fails to account for the fact that most technological “progress” is the accomplishment of an extreme minority of people. A huge amount of them, as well, have been completely open to religion, viewing it as a different domain…

What you’re saying isn’t just wrong, it’s dangerously irrelevant to what “progress” even means…

And if you mean it in some ‘social progress’ sense of the word, you will not find much progress socially in atheist states.

No - the debate is about whether or not women should wear a veil while in the church, and the majority consensus it seems is ‘no,’ but some do it.

There is no position that they should wear it all the time outside of a church that I know of.
