“The current model of Evolution is false because of its hocus pocus mechanisms.”
Any sufficiently advanced technology, or science, will appear as magic to the undereducated.

“ The question was simple, what on a non-boned organism could be modified to become a bone therefore demonstrating common ancestry – descent with modification ?”
Cartilage comes to mind.

“I postulated this question to a pro-evolutionist and to my amazement I received the following answer, “it just happened”. Hardly scientific.”
Did you ask a biologist?
Heck are you SURE that’s the question you asked?

Trump must declare the insurrection act, station ICE agents and federal troops at the voting booths to check voter citizenship and ID, ignoring judicial decrees that this is unconstitutional. DOGE, backed by federal Marshals, must pre-audit and post-audit the voting machines, or the else the federal troops should just put a few bullets through each voting machine. Federal troops must enforce chain of custody on all ballots, and destroy any ballots that lack provenance

Jim: “There are two possible explanations for the result of the 2020 election:

1: Biden won no less fairly than any previous presidential election winner in US history.

2: There was MASSIVE fraud that stole reelection from Trump.

Option 1 being true is beneath Trump! That leaves only option 2!

All the evidence anyone should need!!”

“I always wondered why women PUSHED for women to get to work in a career then come home & have to care for a family!”
MAYBE, just maybe, they don’t live their entire lives by stereotypes?
My wife’s worked in the Navy, at a Credit Union, School Teacher, and now the office down the hall at my company. I’ve always encouraged her to work, and done half the chores, half the cooking, child-rearing, and I do the laundry. Took that over when she couldn’t figure out how to iron the jumper uniform.

“HELLO, women HAD it made - talk about the Big Lie lol”
By ‘made’ you mean they needed an allowance from the husband, his permission to open a bank account, and so on? That’s not made.

“They all but demonized women at home. Truly sad - I always speculate that this is when the family started to come unglued as more women left the home & less care & supervision was given to the kids??”
I don’t think the family is unglued, it’s just not what you imagine a family to be. SO sad. And so stereotypical

This is incoherent. The devil can quote scripture, bible says so. So what stops a witch from doing anything necessary to escape prosecution?

“i didnt read the article cause i dont have time."
THen maybe don’t comment until you have the time?

“1. scientists are even saying that there was most likely like 99% a worldwide flood.”
99% of what? 99% of the world? 99% likely?
What scientists?
Where are they saying this?
WHY are they saying this. If they’re creationists, you’re actually losing credibility.

“2. wood (the same kind Noah used)”
You can identify gopherwood?
You have found wood and somehow know it’s a type that no one’s identified since The Flood? Wow.

“has been found at the top of mount Arat(where the Bible says the ark landed).”
No, the BIBLE says the ark landed in the Ararat RANGE, not on that mountain in Turkey. Read is tome time.

“The bible said that the ark was above every mountain so thats how it got to the top in case your wondering.”
The waters reached the top of all the mountains, which means above K2 and Everest. And then it landed in the Ararat range. And they found the wood on a different mountain…?
Would you like to step out, think this through, and come in again?

“3. explain the grand canyon”
Erosion and a long, long time.
Not a single event. Just look at how it curves back on itself in weird wriggles. The pressure necessary to dig out the grand canyon in one event would have been more like using a 5-inch firehose on a swimming pool full of mud. All the lines would be straight.

“4. there have been fossils of fishes on the top of mountains. explain how they got there other than this.”
Geologic folding.

“5. there are many ancient documents on stone tabs that are almost exactly like the flood story. many point out that only one mans family survived.”
But different men, for different reasons, in different cultures, survived floods. There are ALSO ancient documents that describe civilizations that lasted through the Flood without noticing it. China, Egypt. And the civilizations that do NOT fear floods do not have a tradition of a global flood. Seems to be limited to people that have had floods. WEird, that.

@Sasha

When a candidate is elected in UK, in their victory speech it’s traditional to thank - along with their party, those who helped in their campaign etc, also their agent, the voters & so on - the police, for ensuring the count goes smoothly, and there’s no interference in the area where said count goes on. What Jimbo here is proposing.

I very much doubt there’ll be seconders from not only MTG, OP.

Can someone clarify the Sydney Sweeney obsession for me? Yes, she’s pretty and white and I heard she voted Republican (wasted beauty, but whatever), but I still don’t get why that makes her so popular for MAGA to rally behind…

They praise her because they saw in this ad the return of “white beauty” heralded by Trump.

“I heard”
NO one believes Trump when he says that, either.

“that the feminist movement was encouraging men's wives to constantly deny them sex”
Um, wouldn’t this just be ‘encouraging women to deny men’ for the sexy fun time? Plenty of unmarried chauvinist pigs.

"as a way of torturing them and most women were following suit to this”
You heard all this, huh?
Anything like a single reason to believe any of it?

“and I didn't want feminists to abuse men anymore.”
I’m a feminist and my wife is, too.
She was in the Navy when i married her. I supported her getting out, getting a job, getting a steady job, becoming a teacher, and eventually working where I work. Strangely, there’s no games about denying sex to get what she wants. She already has it. WEird, huh?

“They refuse to condemn the murder Charlie Kirk”
But it’s real ‘make your bed now lay in it’ stuff!
Two people formed Turning Point. Their two goals were to fight gun control and resist common sense steps to prevent the spread of COVID. One died of COVID. One died of an uncontrolled gun.
It’s like what they fucking asked for!

Federal troops must enforce chain of custody on all ballots, and destroy any ballots that lack provenance.

As a former precinct captain in Fairfax County, Virginia, chain of custody on all ballots is an absolute priority, and everyone working an election has to sign their name that there was no cheating of any kind. Stray ballots are not destroyed but neither are they counted.

Frankly, we spend most of election day counting over and over again, and making sure our counts all match. We also spend a lot of time signing forms. I honestly can't figure out how anyone could cheat.

Claim the Left wants mass murder yet its’ the right that’s constantly pushing for their enemies to be killed en mass, me thinks you are just projecting your own twisted desires

Cromwell

If you knew what you were talking about, you’d know the ultimate conclusion of the English Civil War, Jimbo. Certainly who started it. I should know, as I live where it started: Hull. What happened to that which thought it was a king that had absolute power.

And Charles I.

NYC, New Jersey, Virginia & California was the axe being sharpened.

“More importantly, how does Jesus feel about Star Wars?”
Importantly? This is important to you?

“I can continue to watch Star Wars movies if I so desire.”
Oh, whew! I was really worried, there.

“But will Jesus sit and watch them with me? Will He cheer for Han Solo and Luke Skywalker or possibly weep when Padme dies?”
He’s omniscient. He already knows all the plot points and character arcs. He’d probably be bored.

“Will He mimic a light saber duel with me or sit down and watch the upcoming television show?”
Do any of your imaginary friends play light-sabers with you?

“Will He cheer for a made up thing that gives glory to an unknown and unreachable nothing over the truth of His Father?”
Fiction. Will he cheer for fiction, while the truth is over on his side….?

“Will Jesus mind if I spent more time away from becoming closer to Him as I indulge in this seemingly harmless fantasy?”
He’s omniscient. He already knows how close you COULD Be, as well as how close you will be after watching a movie. He’s more likely to wander through the room and say, “Okay, THIS viewing is okay, but if you watch it three more times, you’re going to Hell.”

“Or is it possible that my Lord will remind me of His truth, love and commitment to my lost soul those many years ago when He carried a cross to Calvary?”
You’re watching a space western, why would he try to get you to hear about a history?

“Does Jesus sit in a lonely place waiting for me to have time for Him?”
He’s omnipresent. If you’re not there, he goes and hangs out as the mental hospital with the problem cases.

Good god what’s wrong with you?

Sarah Hurwitz #racist

Probably the most blatant case of telling on themselves I’ve seen from the pro-genocide crowd as of late. Just blatantly admitting that their intended takeaway from the Holocaust isn’t that, you know, genocide is bad, but merely that genocide is only wrong when it’s done against white people & no empathy should be spared when the victim is brown.

Don't get carried away by your hatred of men. Famine, disease, and natural disasters are traditionally not the byproduct of male thinking (although I acknowledge the human source of climate change).

?~.WARRIOR.for.CHRIST.~? [[God is Love!]] #fundie

"If you need proof that God is real, even after reading this, then ask me!”
Sure.

“If God wasn't real, then...
- Why are true Christians so loving? Why do they strive to show their love to others no matter how they are treated?”
How many homosexuals were kicked out of their family because the hateful bitches can’t stand a gay son/daughter?
How many atheists announce that they are and get kicked out of the ‘loving’ family?
Your experience with loving Christians must be very carefully coordinated, because they keep showing me hatred. Just look at how many Christains are all onboard with pregnant women dying from the lack of abortion options.,

“- Why would there even be a prayer language? This is truly a gift from God. The anointing can flow through someone instantly by another simply speaking through Jesus' name!”
When my blood sugar drops below 42, i start speaking in tongues until i get a cookie. Not a gift from god but a health risk.

“- Why do Christians have that shine in their eyes like nobody else does? This is a big one that I've noticed... nonbelievers or non-Christians don't have that kind, gentle shine in their eyes like Christians do. Simply because they don't have the light of God!”
The only time i see Christain eyes that are shining, they’re talking about the tortures I’ll face in Hell. They get really excited about the everlasting fire, and about watching the screaming from some place in Heaven.

“Why is there a Bible? The Bible was written thousands of years ago, and think about it... back then, people weren't exactly as deceiving as they are now. These people didn't just write it and simply hope that someone would believe it. The Bible is the LIVING Word of God!”
Holy crap you know nothing about the history of your own faith, do you? Look up the Articles of Faith for once. The Council of Nice. The battles to control the content of the bible. Jeeze.

" Why is the earth so differently made? I read online on a fact-based website that every last one of the chemicals is perfectly balanced, and there is a perfect amount of oxygen.”
Idiot, we evolved to these conditions. Of COURSE they’re perfect, or we’d have evolved differently.

“ The earth is the perfect distance from the sun for there to be the needed amount of precipitation and cold and heat.”
As above.

“How else could this have happened with just science?”
It didn’t ‘happen’ with science, science is just a tool that can explain it…without gawd.

"Why are scientists constantly trying to prove that God isn't real?”
because you fuckers keep trying to make all of us live as if we believed in your god.

“If God wasn't real, then the scientists would not be trying to prove what's already true as false.”
God isn’t real. But the BELIEF in god can’t be stamped out with anything short of fire.
Fire is the cleanser.

“Far too many scientists are being used by Satan as living TOOLS of trying to lead someone into deception.”
Just not in any way you can prove…

" Why are so many drug addicts and depressed individuals instantly set free by the power of God when they are saved?”
why aren’t ALL addicts set free by the power of God, then?

"Why would there even be priests and pastors that existed to preach the gospel if God wasn't real? These people aren't just making it all up!”
Why are there people who worship any other religion if THOSE religions aren’t real?

"God is real;”
Don’t believe you.
“there is proof.”
Not really.
“You simply have to open up your eyes and ears and pay attention to your surroundings.”
Done that. without your presuppositions, there’s no deity showing.

Elaine Donnelly #fundie

“Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, says besides putting women in a very confined area with dozens of male sailors, the constantly recycled atmosphere creates a health risk.”
What health risk would that be?
I’ve been on four subs. They increase the filtering technology on those things almost every decade.
I don’t remember any reports that women couldn’t fight fires when their ship is threatened, because smoke.

"In the very early days and weeks of pregnancy, the recycled atmosphere [in a submarine] includes elements that are very unsafe for an unborn child," she notes.”
Such as? Citation desperately needed.
I’m not saying it’s not possible. After every patrol i couldn’t bring my laundry into the house until i’d cleaned it of the diesel fumes and amine from the filters, but, again, where did you learn this is a health risk? It just stinks.

“"So let's suppose three weeks out [to sea], a married sailor discovers she's pregnant. And the ship commander has two choices -- either [he] violate the stealthy status of the submarine by surfacing for a dangerous evacuation, or he tells her that she will have to remain as she is throughout the deployment.”
Um…. This is the same choice he has if the sailor has appendicitis or a heart attack, falls and breaks a leg. The radio chief that started handing out the combination to a locker he didn’t have access to….

A lot depends on ship’s operations, but he’ll never violate the stealthy status. He leaves the op area, sends a message, THEY tell him to travel to the Azores or Guam for offload, then back to work.
It’s not something unique to female sailors.

“"This is an impossible dilemma that can and should be avoided," says the military watchdog.”
It’s stressful, but not impossible. And it’s something every single one of us could end up facing when we go out.

“ Indy's third trial in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. …What is unseen becomes seen when the step of faith is taken.”
Always hated that scene. You’d have to force every single person entering the crypt to have their head in the same spot and the lighting exactly right, for that trick to even have a chance of working. And he can’t ever move his head side to side or differences appear. And it would only keep sighted people out, too. A blind adventurer gets that far, drops some pebble, hears them click the bridge well before the ground.
And once one person solves it, no one else has to.

But ultimately, how important is this as a test of faith?
I would imagine a test of FAITH could only truly be resolved by God’s magic. This is simple mechanics and optics. Don’t need a god to explain this trap, just paint and perspective.If i was challenged in D&D for a test of faith, they’d jump off a cliff. The faithful catch a breeze to a safe ledge, while the apostate fall straight to the crocodiles. No trick to it, an angel of the god in question waits beside the ledge. Then it’s more like the bridgekeeper in Holy Grail. Each person has their own test of faith.

Funny we can say the EXACT thing about you fascist about destroy the very nations you supposedly trying to save, since that’s what you constantly do to ANY nation you bastards get any notion of power but you fuckers won’t admit to such repeated failures and instead just double, triple and quadruple down on the people you already hate and blame for all of society’s ills no matter how illogical that is because you already have your group to simply blame stuff you hate on and rather do that then admit or acknowledge just how complicated real life is because you rather have a simple answer (that being the Jews and the solution to that to just kill them all) then the complicated answer that requires complicated solutions to address.

Also how the fuck is personality genetic?? seriously how!? Personalities are developed over the course of one’s life from experiences one has and it frequently has fuck all to do with one’s genes. The closest you get to that is adopting some traits from your parents, which isn’t going to automatically mean you get those traits either. Really this just screams more long since disproven bioessentialistic bullshit racists scream about other groups of people to also justify why those races are supposedly inherently inferior to white people.

PJ O’Rourke: right-wing author & commentator who said that Hillary Clinton was the lesser of two evils in 2016.

“I don't care about the "Republican" part, because I don't have a party affiliation. I do care that he is black, because blacks cannot be trusted.”
Oh, so you’re racist. SURE you’re not a repub?

“And I might add that the ORIGINAL Constitution considers Obama to be 3/5 of a person.”
Only slaves and only in the southern states. A compromise to keep the largely agrarian SOuth in the US.

“ Blacks were NEVER meant to hold office, and for good reason: Lack of Character (honesty, responsibility, common sense, etc.).”
You can cite the constitution saying this? Never hold office would be crucial. Racist reasons don’t matter so much, they never stand up to scrutiny.

“This country now has 3/5 of a president,”
Absolutely wrong. He’d have to be a slave, which isn’t legal, voted in from a Red state that had this compromise. Which isn’t in effect.

“who is also in office illegally, because he is Kenyan born.”
A birther? Hilarious.

“As far as I'm concerned, Obama is just another spearchucker.”

Anon #sexist

Humans are the strangest of all animals. Their brain can easily trick itself and people may deny their nature claiming to be higher than animals or even something of a dimension they invented. They can create social orders of various kinds and theorize on those models, test and attempt to improve them and they can retrograde to discredited ones. They can idealize straw men of nature. Some will romanticize and sophisticate to incredible performance, animalistic behaviors beyond what other animals can do. Some will develop social consciousness, some will pervert this into primitive tribalism, others will dream of a better universal future. We can develop means to study and discover nature and our origins, we may deny inconvenient knowledge, we may achieve incredible knowledge while maintaining others in complete ignorance. We can be stuck in the ignorance and falsehoods of ancient people. We're stuck in contradictory paradoxes between the necessities of the industrial revolution and its consequences and management. We're the only animal that's a threat to millions of other humans, to other animals and even to the planet. Our inventions are so dangerous that if we suddenly disappeared the environment would continue to be harmed. We can even alienate ourselves to ourselves or to half of ourselves.

So, if the law says they can’t lead the class in a prayer, THAT THERE’S PREEEESECUTION!

@Ceratarges #242005

Of my country’s many sins - our constant disregard for the dignity and written treaties of our Indigenous peoples, the brutal reputation earned in the trenches and rumoured “take no prisoners” mentality, adopting the use of chemical weapons in WWI, preaching human rights but picking sides politically based on what is advantageous, the fact that most of the Geneva conventions were written BASED ON CANADIAN ACTIONS in war we ourselves pushed to criminalize once the long-term effects became plain to see and the morality beyond “our lives vs their lives” could be looked at objectively without the emotional framework of living through combat and constant danger and loss - “orders from above, right or wrong” is not one of the things we’ve come to accept. Ask James McNight, who defied an order to leave civilians to die in the cold and whose case made the inclusion of the treatment of civilians in updates to international law necessary. To know an act is wrong the outcome must be known and the wrongs defined. Further Imre Finta wasn’t absolved of his crimes in the eyes of Canada’s government even though he personally remained a citizen until dying in a nursing home. Precisely because of the difficult to litigate unknowns going forward rather than litigating whether the outcome of their actions could be known or whether they could be held morally culpable if acting under duress such as threat of death for insubordination Canada took the - admittedly weaselly - path of simply stripping individuals prosecuted in Canada for such crimes of their citizenship and deporting them to the countries where the crimes actually occurred to face judgment under their standards instead of our own where reasonable doubt applies. Effectively outsourcing the punishment to get around our own legal standards. He was not acquitted based on following orders, he was acquitted on the premise that it could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt he knew what lay in store for the people he transported or that threat of death for disobedience or aiding in the escape of “enemies of the state” could be discounted. It was precisely because of the outcome of the trial of Imre Finta this new legal procedure came to be, he is not proof we accept such excuses quite the opposite his acquittal is why we changed things to make sure the excuse can’t find new loopholes and those changes are exactly what debunk that accusation. Simply trying him again after new laws and procedures were put in place because we could not stomach the outcome of the trial and applying them retroactively to guarantee the desired result sets a very dangerous precedent.

“The theory of evolution can't explain this,”
A phrase that always makes me think of airplanes in junk yards, gravity, origin of life, age of the earth, the moon, the universe. Any number of things that are not covered by evolutionary theory. What’s your question?

“because, according to the first law of thermodynamics,”
Ha, called it. Evolution is biology. Why WOULD it explain a matter of physics?

“ matter cant be created or destroyed, as you said. So where did the matter for the big-bang come from?”
That’s the essential nature of the big bang, all that matter IS what expanded.

“Where did the matter for the primitive soup come from?”
From the big bang, ultimately, but much, much later.
And we’re STILL not using evolution.

“How did the first atom evolve?”
Don’t know, but it’s not evolution.

“The first and second laws of thermodynamics disprove evolution.”
Except they do not.They don’t even apply. The laws describe energy in a closed systm, which Earth is not.

“How did DNA evolve?”
Slowly.

“ The answer to your question is found in Genesis, "In the beginning, God created..."”
That’s not the answer. At best it’s a reply. More of a name-drop.

There’s no way in any manner that Hell is righteous.

Excellent! That’s how it should have happened.

“Nobody had any problem whatsoever"
Not really a validation of the content unless everyone knew about it. Was ut a Christain college?

“when we had discussions about Creation or Christianity.”
Lots of discussions in college, huh? How much of it was taught as fact, though?

“Quite frankly it doesn't matter if it is taught. The only people getting upset about it are the Die-hard Atheist/ Evolutionist.”
Bit of a false claim, there. Many theists as well as constitutional scholars would complain.

Because even if the command sergeant major outranks the other two that IS an order coming from the corporal’s immediate CO is it not?

:Fundies Say the Darndest Things (FSTDT) is a liberal mockery website that is a haven for apostasy,”
Okay, can’t argue that. We tolerate the behavior of pointing at the self-important, god-fearing, hate-spewing assholes without regard to their side of the story (though we do link to it, and to them).

“feminism,”
We’re definitely feminist, but is this a haven for feminism? I wouldn’t know, I’m ciswhite and male, but do any females feel a need to be treated like humans and see FSTDT as a place to go be human?

“heresy,”
Meh. Everything anyone does, including live the life Jesus led, is a heresy to someone.

“homosexual behavior,”
And again, if you’re feeling a need to express or enjoy homosexual behavior do you think of THIS place?

“and the lust of the flesh.”
Okay, finally. I defend the lust of the flesh, here. The worst arguments against it are there, but wwhen i think “I needs me some lusts of the flesh” there are at least 20 sites I’ll go to before this one.

“The site engages in demonic glorification, gloating, arrogance, pride, and otherwise reprehensible behavior.”
Ah. When YOU’RE stupid, we mention it. That’s reprehensible. Not AS reprehensible as electing a felon and a rapist to the office where he can do the most treason, but we might gloat that you get the policies you voted for.

“Unsavory comments allude to desiring carnal relationships,”
Can you point to some examples? Slowly, please? Because a simple ‘fuck you’ has nothing to do with carnal relationships.

“and they have a love affair for Darwinism”
We love the truth. Your mileage may vary.

“and they tolerate Taylor Swift the evil harlot succubus.”
No, we point and laugh at the overreaction to a young woman with a following.

I have similar ideas about why God confused the languages.

The languages were never confused, there never was a sole human language. Eden and Babel are called mythology. Until you know this, you'll fabulate forever. False premises lead to false arguments and conclusions.

They wanted to always have contact. This was why they planned for the tower to be very tall

So you also really believe that a stone ziggurat, the ruins of which the story was inspired from, could reach and threaten God?

Smokey Mountains

Er, Appalachian?? Do you know that even from space orbit...

I've wondered why God's plan was better than theirs

Well, I too was lost in incredible baseless speculations long ago.

[... speculation about a few settlements and myths, that supposedly must now be said to be advanced technological civilizations ruling all of Earth ...]

Our Founding Fathers thought a United Nation of states was a good idea [...] We can all see how a united central government can be vulnerable to the invasion of socialism

So all of that was just for red scare rehashed? Maybe we're more doomed than I imagined! But it also depends on the poster's age. If you're 9 and you've been brainwashed with Babel and Commies stories... a curious confused mind does need to wander somewhere. Unfortunately, it's not that kind of forum that'll help direct education. Normal theology courses are already much better.

Well, Tats doesn’t support any Jews because he believes that there is no such thing as a “good Jew”. Notice how the grandma in this comic is still depicted as the “villain” here (despite the fact that she’s rightfully offended at the man who is literally a Holocaust denier) in the last slide.

The Constitution's separation of powers and definition of the presidency are clear that a president is not a dictator or king, fascist grifter.

Christian sexual ethic that built Western civilization

When that's the false premise the rest is bullshit too.

taught generations of women that motherhood is oppression

But most feminists still have familes. Maybe not the little "armies of Christ" you desire?

people addicted to pornography will not form strong families

It's not because you have the condition that most people do, even if it might make you assume it.

What They Teach [...]

The straw men that reveal Torba's ideals. Interesting.

That's aside from running a Neo-Nazi propaganda network.

Edit/Adding: It's not because your cabal is unable to abuse society that the people and their freedoms are a cabal against society.

I was sure that the bullshit of the tobacco industry, that also inspired the bullshit of the oil industry, would resurface once in a while. When you confuse the left's public health concerns with the right's control doctrines for authoritarianism, there's a problem!

Just to share about my own experience, I knew people who died of lung and tongue cancer attributed to smoking. It was forbidden in the cult I was raised in, but I also smoked a few years as a young adult. I never liked the taste and smell of cigarettes and smoked out of nicotine addiction, but admit that the aroma of some cigars and pipe tobacco can be appealing. I stopped smoking twice, because I fell into it again when I had a new gf who used small aromatic cigars and I let myself be tempted: I was soon buying cigarettes again.

The second time I stopped I decided to remember forever how difficult and annoying it was. The first few weeks I was constantly hungry and thirsty, the first few months were very annoying, for several years, suddenly one night I'd feel an urge to smoke. Fortunately that's long over. It takes years for the brain's neuroreceptors to fully recover and until they do it can apparently affect mood.

But as a non-smoker, I also easily smell the awful stuff from far away, like getting in through my open window because of people smoking outside on their balcony. When I visit smokers, my hair and cloth stink. Some smokers who visit smell stronger than others, it varies from mild to awful.

Then where I live it's illegal in public places. I'm really glad, I remember when offices I worked in were full of smoke. If I ever was a smoker again, I'd agree to smoke outside, it'd be my own addiction problem, afterall.

Val Kilmer's recent death was due to complications of tobacco related throat and tongue cancer. As a Christian Scientist he was apparently initially in cancer denial, which delayed treatment.

Edit/Adding: Oh and as Keith said, it doesn't only pollute lungs and people, also the environment. It covers walls, penetrates mechanical and electronic equipment, the thrown out ashes, botches and filters also pollute beaches, yards, sidewalks and streets, end up in the water sources...

Edit/Adding: I've also seen pseudoscientific propaganda pretending that nicotine is not the main addictive substance, likely resurrected due to the vaping industry. Vaping is not harmless but does produce less pollutants and formulas with nicotine will maintain or create addiction, unless someone used a strict gradual reduction regime as a plan to stop. But then, there are patches for that, no need to inhale products of unknown quality (some cheaper products can be very toxic, the aromas also add pollutants, there can be accumulation of oily products in the lungs) and burn your mouth and throat (also increasing chances of cancer)...

And this means that you're Allah? Because humans are responsible for patriarchy and its enforcement. You'd not need to deny their rights if Allah was enough. Just like Yahweh could have protected the Jews but could not, when they faced genocide, Allah failed to protect the Muslims who faced genocide. If Allah didn't want women to enjoy food or sex, he could have made them in a way that food and sex are unnecessary and gross. Interestingly, sex suddenly switches from gross to appealing at puberty. There are natural biological reasons for that. If Allah created them, he also created libido and the will to be free.

If you don't know any LGBTQ around you, it's likely that they don't want to let you know, not that they don't exist. Those around me didn't want me to know either when I was in a cult. Even if 50% (dubious) of popular films included a reference to their existence, it has nothing to do with a claim that 50% of the population would be, that would never happen anyway. But it's plausible for more than 50% of the population to know of some LGBTQ in the real world, unless they either have no society or are blind (like I was).

there have been huge shifts in America on how people think about Jews and Israel, and I think that is especially true of young people

More about Israel than Jews. Crimes against humanity have consequences.

confusing some of our young people about anti-Semitism

Which is exactly what you're doing when whitewashing a regime involved in crimes against humanity and falsely claiming that criticizing it is "antisemitism". Bullshit is bullshit and people know it. It's the same as Russia whining of "Russophobia".

Expect more spam and conspiracies, with stuff like Project Esther and the massive recent funding of Hasbara, also now embracing AI LLM...

I'll also add a note about the Anti-Defamation League (ADL): it used to be a useful source about bigotry and extremists. It has been repurposed to whitewash Israel, misuse "antisemitism" and it has censored its list of far-right white supremacist hate groups.

This doesn't say much about Jews or about anybody, but it says a lot about Ishida.

"It's an alien invasion conspiracy by the democrats who want to destroy our civilization! They want aliens to be citizens and republicans to be crushed! Aliens out!" We don't call such "conspiracy theory" for nothing, hateful paranoid crackpot.
