    The Bible says they will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

    It doesn't. And even if your warped analysis decides it does, who cares. The bible says I can't eat shellfish either but the chowder on my stove smells really good.

    Good catch. Its amazing what the WP and NYT scoop up.

    In Florida you take a big ole bite of the MAGA pie if you want to represent its republican voters. trump didn't move there for just the weather.

    Can you not just trim florida off and float it out into the ocean? Seems like you'd get rid of a lot of the crazy.

    Don't forget the idea that "the people" are fighting the elites. The elite political, the elite rich and their politically connected friends are the enemy. Only our "group/tribe" can fight this cabal of elites.

    The bit I don't get is how the GOP have managed to market themselves as the party of the blue collar, traditional, working man American while simultaneously legislating against, ridiculing and mocking people who actually are (or were - AOC as an example).
    I get why they attract support from all of the worst bigoted groups, that bit is apparent.

    recommended the Blackburn Buccaneer as a strike aircraft and Lightning as an interceptor.

    I remember hearing stories about how good the Buccaneer was and (almost certainly exaggerated) stories about another plane being on a low level run and finding out there was a buccaneer basically underneath them.

    The best that Q had to offer was that it gave some measure of hope to 50% of the common folk. We know that the other 50% is flat out lying to us.

    Thankfully, I don't think its anywhere near 50 per cent that fell for it. Just the extremes of the bigoted, the gullible, and the not so bright.

    I know a pretty successful business owner that leases exotic sports cars, mainly to impress.

    Leases. That's not all that impressive, but it IS his entire personality. 

    He seems to want to spend large amounts of money to simply impress other people.

    Meh. I prefer to save as much as possible and balance it with enjoying life. Saving will be a part of the enjoyment.

    I worked with a guy years ago who had his entire career mapped out in terms of what car he was going to own at what age and stage. I remember thinking even as an early 20 something that was pretty pathetic. A lot of my uni peers got caught in the cycle of "keeping up with the joneses" in London as well. I just don't work that way.

    drive up the cost of execution with lengthy mandatory appeals,

    Good. Killing people in the name of "justice" absolutely should NOT be easy. Particularly given the chances of getting it wrong.

    If the person how wants to die is mentally incapacitated who decides?  

     

    Thats always going to be a tough one, but there are loads of situations that are much simpler, where people have mental capacity but such a low quality of life that this can be a much kinder way out. We shouldn't try and solve for every situation from day one.

  15. It's a barbaric, mistake prone process that serves no real purpose other than to "punish" someone to make the victims relatives and bloodthirsty onlookers feel better.

    It's more expensive than life in prison I believe,

    It's irreversible and I suspect the wrong people get caught more often than they should.

    All civilised societies no longer do this..

    You lost the House and kept the Senate. Again only a leftie would call one loss and one tie a victory.

    Considering you predicted a red wave and it was the most successful midterms for an incumbent president in decades, you should probably sit this one out before you embarrass yourself.

    Well, I seem to recall certain individuals insisted on calling Obama by his middle name, Hussein.

    Hatred & bigotry aren't among their more endearing features, but they're rather prominent ones.

    particularly when they claim to be "Christian"

    Funny how Slim is calling incessantly for Ukraine to surrender to Russia, yet NEVER calling on Russia to stop it's unprovoked attacks on civilian infrastructure.

    That's nothing - he also claims to have no dog in the political fight and is an independent.

    Your rants about this remind me of Ron confidently talking about the Q drops of old. 

     Nah - Ron may be misguided but at least he has an IQ into 3 figures. This troll, I'm not so sure.

    Let's not commingle Woke and BLM. Different. 

    Only in the minds of those looking for a boogeyman to be angry at. For fox news viewers and anyone else not that bright, it's the new "socialist".
