As for executing criminals i changed my pov. I used to be in favor of death penalty. However for war criminals i can still go there. I am going by my gut not by reason.

Why you talking like you have a choice about favoring the death penalty or not, LOL?

Bezos does have that “dr evil” vibe as well.

I am all for taxing churches with congregations off over (say) 5000 members. I think around 2014 this idea was raised in the town of Nome in Alaska but did not materialize. Doing so would raise almost the same money to cover the cost of the food stamps programs. Imagine the churches paying to feed the…

I don’t see the medicalized form of nitroglycerine being affected by outlawing deadly fireworks (commercial or homemade) that maims kids and mostly drunk adults every July.

Pitbulls (and Jesus) Save. LOL.

Over the past 45 years I have probably had meat to eat maybe twice a month. Generally a fish that I caught if I am lucky that day or maybe some pepperoni on a pizza at work. Eggplant, legumes and mushrooms can give you that same texture. I really don’t care to make a point of it to others, but I do think if we all cut back, even by 50%…….much…[Read more]

I think of them as a mammalian version of a velociraptor and thus “they should all be destroyed”. A 5 year old girl on my brother’s street was blinded in one eye and needed her scalp reattached after a “family pet” jumped the fence. Cops chased it and shot it like 30 times right in the street.

It is our obligation to get the facts right before embarking on “mass destruction” in “retaliation”. Consultation with “the lord” does not count. The response after the missed prevention was nothing short of 100% idiotic.

I am glad my grandparents and parents were not so “smart”. Just imagine the scope and devastation that would have resulted from the combination of air travel and polio/smallpox.
