Re: Tommy Robinson Arrested

Actually Rick I already knew he was affiliated with EDL, in fact started the movement. Hence my post. I will say I wasn’t aware he has left and has now started Pegida UK.

Re: Tommy Robinson Arrested

And it’s disingenuous in my opinion to make this about women, our rights or our protection under the law because that is as the English would say ‘a load of bollocks’. It’s about a bloke with an agenda using a current case to push his bigotry. If anyone would like to look at the philosophies of the ...

Re: Tommy Robinson Arrested

You do know what the EDL are right K? The English Defence League who are Far right wing ‘nationalists’ who are self proclaimed street activists. Far out, what a messed up world we live in when fascists who unapologetically sprout their bigoted BS loudly and proudly on the streets somehow become rele...

Re: Pope: GOD made people gay

It’s a slippery slope. I’m not saying it’s not a sin as I said I don’t know but the couple of references in the Old Testament are on par with eating shellfish and working on the sabbath. We pretty much allow both of those with an understanding of it being Old Testament teaching and not entirely rel...

Re: Pope: GOD made people gay

Like how it’s an abomination to eat sea creatures without fin or scale so crab, lobster, squid and calamari. Plus bacon and pork. Or to approach a menstruating female. Or all insects that crawl on all fours. An unfit animal for slaughter. All work and employment on the sabbath. Getting divorced ect...

Re: Pope: GOD made people gay

I don’t know if being gay is wrong. But that isn't really the question, is it? Having struggles against whatever sins we are attracted and tempted to commit - temptation is not sin (unless one causes it). But GIVING IN to certain things God says are sin - behavior and actions that God calls wrong -...

Re: Pope: GOD made people gay

God created humans. In doing so gave us the immense blessing of freewill. In freewill lies sin. It can’t not. Choice as divine as it is creates a uniqueness and diversity in every person and with that creates a unique footprint for every person. Nothing is new under the sun for God. Nothing unknown...

Re: Iran vs. Israel

I think in regards to current, real world topics, deflective humour probably isn’t the best choice but what can one expect from a middle aged, pro-Israel, right wing (facetiously throwing that in, because you did 😉) yankie?

Re: Iran vs. Israel

Iran oils reserves are the 4th largest in the world. Closely followed by Iraq and Libya. Add up the dots..... America’s interest in the Middle East has always been and remains the oil. They have weapons of mass destruction (Iraq), we came, we saw, he died (Libya), and now the masses are being fed th...

Re: Is enjoying 50 Shades of Grey sinful?

Actually, I went to see one of the hunger games movies with a friend and a crying baby was behind us the whole time. The mother tried to rock it in the pram which make a hell of a squeaky noise all through the movie. I actually complained.. if you realy need to bring your kid to a non-kid friendly ...

Re: Jac3510

Getting off of processed stuff and most sugar has been critical to managing my allergies and my ADD - HUGE difference. If I eat bad, I feel bad - get fuzzy headed, lethargic. Gotta have good exercise habits, too! You really have to carefully read labels, because sugar and fructose corn syrup, sodiu...
