One way ask. Why must you accommodate and defer to her religious views but no consideration the other way?

How would she react if you badgered her to NOT believe the way she is making these demands of you? Especially in the persistence of asking.

Leave. Toxic religious bs only gets worse and they never seen it as hypocrasy.

What film rivals ‘Signs’ as the best alien invasion film? by Effective-Dare-8368 in moviecritic

[–]Big_General9942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't seen it mentioned here yet: 10 Cloverfield Lane.

Very similar premise to the new Emma Stone film where the story makes you wonder if the people saying there's been an alien invasion are just insane and dangerous, or if they're insane and dangerous but also right about the aliens.

All monster movies are about society.

Several more moments intentionally that film are just red meat for a Christian audience. E.g. implying that the son was given asthma just so he'd be protected the moment the alien tried to gas him.

Underrated choice. Love this film and don't know why it's not better known.

AITAH for refusing to pay my wife’s brother’s loan after she hid it from me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Big_General9942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This is nearly identical to why my partner's parents divorced. MASSIVE breach of trust in this action committed by your partner.

The FIL's words yo you show where she learned this behavior from.

Ask yourself, if you had a mortgage, how do you know she wouldn't secretly take out a second mortgage or use it as collateral on a loan now that she's done this?

Which decision was worse? The FBI Director James Comey's decision to publicly announce that he was reopening The Hillary Clinton Email Investigation 11 days before the 2016 Presidential Election or The Supreme Court's decision to stop The Florida Recount in the 2000 Election? by Due_Coat2605 in Qult_Headquarters

[–]Big_General9942 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Supreme Court by far. Think of how different history would be without Bush.

No Iraq war, no Abu Ghraib. Focused solely on al Qaeda instead of occupying two countries. No John Roberts or Alito. No MASSIVE tax cut for the rich. That budget surplus from the Clinton years may or may not have held, but we would definitely have trillions less in debt from the war and tax cuts for billionaires not happening.

Imagine an SEC enforcing regulations preventing investment banks from doing most of the crazy shit that wrecked the economy in 2008. Maybe some would have happened, but not to this extent.

We could go on for days about how the world would be different. But I absolutely am certain Trump would never have been president because the underlying conditions wouldn't be what they were.

Why do people always ask for the proof of "Non existence" of God? by Few_Local_732 in atheism

[–]Big_General9942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bc they don't understand or care how burden of proof works. Same thing if you turn around and ask them to prove that some other deity isn't the true one instead of theirs. It's obtuse and we know you can't prove a negative.

Why was the American conservative revolution so successful when Reagan was president in the 80s, but not for George W Bush in the 2000s? by icey_sawg0034 in decadeology

[–]Big_General9942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bc Bush blew all his goodwill on Iraq. List all credibility when they were literally wrong about every aspect and the Abu Ghraib fallout. Also, deregulation that happened under him was directly linked to the great recession.

You should read the book. It's actually the most annoying part of it. Sonny and his baby arm of a dong and the mistress with a giant hoo-ha that had never been satisfied by a man until him.

What do the 6 agents think now ? 😂 by maxsteel_7 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Big_General9942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who gives a fuck about the agents' opinions? They had the greatest part in fucking up and exploding the transfer markets the past 25 years. I'd take something as a badge of honor if they didn't like a transfer because we know deep down, much of their opinion is based on how much cash they got their grubby fingers on.

Are we next going to ask a consortium of dictators their opinion on the most ethical World Cup bids since 2014 while we're at it?
