  What’s up with the modern Nation of Israel?

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  being raised a dub i never voted.

  i’m not a republican or a democrat, not a liberal or a conservative.. i’m pretty middle of the road.

  i want everyone to have a fair shake if possible in this life, but i definitely don’t believe in forced equality, that’s just not possible.

  I largely agree with Cofty's comments.

  Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.

  Israel has LBGT rights (including annual Gay Pride parades), it has political parties Israeli citizens can vote for, it also has made many contributions to science (check out how many Nobel Prize winners Israel has; also, check out how many winners are Jewish).

  Israel is the world's only Jewish state. But it also has Israeli Arabs ('Palestinians') in the Knesset, too.

  On the other hand, Israel does do bad things. The land grab in the West Bank is appalling.

  I also feel sorry for ordinary Palestinians, re how the wider Arab World has treated them. A few decades ago, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon went to war with Israel (the Arab-Israeli War), in an attempt to wipe the country out. The Arab coalition lost that war and seems to have thrown Palestinians under the bus. Not nice.

  i was wondering about this.

  if california or other far left groups in charge would push for making pedophiles quote normal unquote.

  so it passed but has yet to be signed by newsom.

  In the example you give the 24 year old would be guilty of a felony. If the act was consensual he will be imprisoned for a period not more than a year. If it is against the will of the 14 year old he will be imprisoned for 7, 9 or 11 years. [italics mine]

  ^^^ But 14 year-olds are viewed as being too young to consent to sex. This Bill would water this down if it recognises 14 year olds can consent to sex.

  This Bill would be a paedophile's charter.

  How many on the board had sex at 16 or 17, whether married or not, to their partner? - this may be true but underage teenagers are typically similar in age, with the boy being a couple of years older than the girl.

  This California Bill is nothing to do with that.

  If passed, it will enable paedophiles to have sex with minors up to 10 years their junior.

  This Bill in its present form must be stopped, no ifs or buts.

  Why Do Intelligent People Still Believe In The Jehovah’s Witness Religion?

  i understand it’s a cult.

  but what makes an intelligent person actually believe they have the “truth” as taught by jehovah’s witnesses??

  Why Do Intelligent People Still Believe In The Jehovah’s Witness Religion? - because intelligence and stupidity aren't mutually exclusive.

  People of low IQ don't have a monopoly on stupidity.
  

  Put another way, intelligent people are more than capable of believing, saying or doing stupid things.

  This forum is made up of mostly ex-JWs. Lots of intelligent posters here who at one time believed WT bullshit.

  I think it might be close because Trump has made a few mistakes in power.

  But, like I said on another thread, all Trump has to do is position himself as the champion of law and order.

  The Dems have repeatedly made the mistake of tacitly, and sometimes not so tacitly, approving of rioting and looting.

  Ordinary Americans/Middle America won't have any of it. The death of George Floyd was bad but they won't put up with looting or rioting.

  Why Does It Seem That Black People Are Always Being Shot By The Police?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is either a conspiracy against blacks in this country and police are out to get them or it’s that they are getting caught breaking the law and often times refuse to obey police authority.

  I think it would interesting to compare the number of black men shot by police to the number of black men shot by other black men.

  I think we can make an educated guess as to how those two data sets would look ...

  Does Anybody Here Sympathize With The Looters That Cause Destruction?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i realize some here are diehard democrats.

  whether you are democrat, republican or independent, do you support any of these looters that cause mayhem and destruction for their cause?

  i have heard some people sympathize with these law breakers saying they understand why they do what they do and leave it at that.. of course i wonder how they would feel if their own property was burnt or stolen or destroyed..

  I sympathise with people who saw George Floyd's death and got angry. They have every right to feel anger.

  But I do not sympathise with looters and rioters.

  You're right, Min, some media deliberately confuse protesting with rioting/looting.

  The Guardian, shamefully, but as expected, had a subheading saying 'buildings and police cars damaged after tense protests'. What bullshit. They were rioting and looting, plain and simple. Let the police arrest them.

  What is Causing This Sudden Increase in Crime / Racial Tension??? - it's the end result of decades of leftist multiculturalism.

  That's all, folks.

  USA, you ignored Puerto Rico when it was devastated. Your leader downplayed a pandemic and magnified the consequences. Your Congress spent trillions on making rich people feel a sense of hope for themselves and threw some crumbs to the people.
  
  USA, you have homeless people and vacant buildings sharing the same areas. You have humongous healthcare costs and kept healthcare linked to employment, then destroyed your economy and the employment.
  
  USA, you have no national standards for caring for the health or the education of the people.

  ^^^ See - they never compare America to another country.

  yeah, so i bought the nightingale (2019) recently, second hand.

  i paid £6 for it which was probably too much.

  but it was the only way i could get a copy.

  @Phizzy - yeah, I'll certainly be looking out for Jennifer Kent's future films.

  Jennifer Kent and Robert Eggers are my favourite directors of the past decade.

  The Nightingale (2019) is very brutal. If you get emotional from films, you'll probably feel very sad or angry if you saw this one.
