Autumn,

You mock, but the blood of students killed in imaginary lynchings is on your hands gun-o-phobe.

Your words stand as is. Fuck you!

Jake,

Enco,

You are not reading me. I did not say anything about Israeli v. American citizens. I am opposed to banning arms for citizens. But to do it without regulations? That is just plain stupid. It is also stupid to treat the US constitution as though we were all devout theists and its words were inerrant guidance from above.

You were…[Read more]

When I clicked on the podcast link, the page asks you to sign up. I didn’t try that. Using the website’s search for “free will” did the same thing, but a google search for “free will” for that site returned a result that gets you there:

So? This doesn’t imply any actual threat.  The only wrongdoing appears to be moving the demonstration into campus buildings which probably isn’t allowed.

Autumn,

The doors of the library had to be locked to keep the mob out and New York Police–men with guns, pepper spray, and batons– had to escort the Jewish students out to safety.

Locking Jews in their homes, temples, barns, and shtetl meeting houses and setting the buildings on fire was also a common practice among Jew-haters throughout…[Read more]

What if we go eye for an eye and give the octopuses some human subjects for them to experiment on?

Yes. Whoever wins the arm-wrestling competition gets to pick the first test subjects.

This isn’t about whether it’s a fun situation to be in. I am sure it was rather intense and alarming. But no one was out lynching. There was no violence the protest. My understanding is the worst act to happen was that the paper sign an Israel…[Read more]

Yes, but do they contend to have the ability to communicate with the Creator of the Universe using telepathy? Do they believe that they are to…

Reg,

World of Woo: CVS will ditch common cold meds because they are useless but will continue to sell bogus homeopathic products.

The War On (Some) Drugs probably also drives this silly decision also, since the Jackboots at the DEA and State agencies put limits on the quantities customers can buy of many cold medicines that can be used to make…[Read more]

First Corinthians 14:33–35 states, “As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church” (ESV)…[Read more]

And not one of them prevented it, either.

How many of the nearly 20,000 people killed in the last year for which we have statistics (2022) were killed by someone exercising their right of self-defense.

Well, we don’t know exactly because nobody seems…[Read more]

According to the Holy Bible women are not allow to speak with any authority.  In fact, women should remain silent. A pastor said this and it is also clarified by an esteemed University. Even if they do speak, they certainly cannot be leaders within the church and make no bones about it (Huh Reg?).

Tush tush, Reg.…[Read more]

Autumn,

You get barricaded somewhere by hostile people and see if you like it.

Another shooting kills 2 and wounds 18 in Tampa because well it has been a day or two. Fifty police officers were patrolling the immediate area. NEED MORE GUNS!!!!!

Thanks, Reg 🙂

Have a great week!!
