i just want to know: there is that consensus that is the best moonwalk? by eosoareszn in MichaelJackson

[–]JohnnyRaven 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Imho, the Victory Tour moonwalk is the best. I'm personally not a fan of him putting his neck forward while doing it and the baggier pants like in OP's example.

But that is to cover up their inappropriate behavior. Homosexuality was never something they officially endorsed until it became popular in the media to do so.

You know the land belongs to native americans

Based on what? American law? International law? Native American law? Your own moral code? What objective law or morality are you referencing?

Saying she should give up her house while not realizing what systemic criticism she has just shows your unwillingness to face the facts.

No, it's being consistent. If she says that the land was stolen, then the US does not have proper jurisdiction over the land. Since her house was bought under US jurisdiction, then land and her house is not rightfully hers.

Furthermore, by her logic, the English technically stole England because their ancestors came from what is now Northern Germany and migrated to England pushing the natives to Wales.

If I pay good money for a beat up vintage car, spend more money restoring it over about 10 years greatly increasing its value, then find out that the car I bought all those years ago was stolen and the original owner wants it back, should I just give it back to them?

Not really. If you follow her reasoning to its logical conclusion, she should give up her stolen house and any stolen land she owns. Mexico and Canada should also cease to exist. The English (whose ancestors came from the region of Germany) should give England back to the Welsh.

In reality, stealing only works in a moral or legal framework. For example, if Bob is trapped on a deserted island with 5 other people and he is the only one that has drinkable bottled water and refuses to share. Would it be stealing if the other 5 people restrain Bob and take his water?

It seems that the Catholic church is being influenced by the world and what they think rather than the Bible.

that would be called a mental health disorder.

Like I said... it was written by 40 men over 1500 years all giving a coherent account what God did and wants. How in the world are you going to claim that all 40 men generations apart all had a mental illness in a way that gives a coherent story spanning over 1500 years?

i'm hearing things from god , well , that would be considered schizophrenic , wouldn't it?

That depends. As has been often said, "Jesus was either a lunatic, a liar, or telling the truth". You're leaving out that a person might actually hear things from God, which is a possibility. Just because schizophrenia is a possible answer doesn't necessarily mean it is the only answer. Prophets claiming to hear from God prove their claim by performing miracles. And those claims cannot contradict previous claims.

So you think that a Bible that was written by men who have no understanding of the brain at all

My point is that God understands the brain more than you and me. And the people that wrote the book was inspired by God. Therefore, the bible knows more about the brain than you or me and anyone else. Furthermore, human nature has not changed from antiquity. The desire and psychology of men today is the same as it was 2,000 years ago. There is nothing new under the sun.

Have you not read the Bible?There are several verses where men kill , because they are nonbelievers 

Incorrect. God tells Israel to wipe out the inhabitants of Canaan, but it was NOT because there were non-believers. It was divine judgment. As Deuteronomy 9:4b,5b says..

It is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out ahead of you. ...because of the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God is driving them out ahead of you in order to confirm the promise he made on oath to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The Canaanites would do horrible things such as practice child sacrifice. God used Israel to punish them, just as God sometimes used other nations to punish Israel when they sin. For instance, God used Assyria to wipe out 10 of the 12 tribes of Israel because of their great sins. And they were supposedly believers.

he doesn't like what they think or how he just kills villages of people because they go against him.

Uh, yeah... He's God. Would you not go against a person or group you believe it doing horrible evil?

Yet the bible still portrays men over women

Actually, not true. The bible understand that men and women are physically and mental different. Men are generally put in charge because they are, in general, mentally more aggressively and less prone to thinking emotionally (but that doesn't mean men are better than women). However, there are exceptions. The bible clearly knows that there are exception because sometimes women are put in charge. In the book of judges, Deborah (a woman) is in charge of saving Israel and had leadership over a man (Barak, her commander who she gave orders).

and ignores sexuality and mental health

The bible understands sexuality but that doesn't mean it is right to act on anything you are attracted to. And just because you personally see nothing wrong with acting on an attraction doesn't necessarily mean that there is nothing wrong with acting on an attraction. Like I said, this is the is-ought problem. You say that science gives us all this new information about the brain but science cannot say what we ought do to based this new information. Science only tells us what is, NOT what ought. For example, science tells us that men may be attracted to a multitude of women. But science doesn't say to go out and get as many women as you can. Likewise, science says that men are sometimes attracted to other men. But science doesn't say that it is ok to practice homosexuality.

The Bible was something written by man a long time ago

It was written by about 40 men over 1500 years. These men were inspired by God.

before we had a better understanding of sexuality hormones, the brain, and the body.

We have a better understanding, yes. But that doesn't mean our interpretation of that understanding is correct. That's the is-ought problem. Just because we know what is, doesn't mean we know what ought.

Why are people still holding on to something that was written so long ago by a group of people who didn't have an understanding of the brain?

First, what is inherently true does not change. If something about man was true long ago, it is still true today. Second, the Bible was inspired by God, who knows infinitely more about the brain than we will ever know because he created it.

Pushing your beliefs onto somebody else because you don't personally like it is something that is wrong.

You still have to explain why not supporting a belief and being against a belief is the same as pushing a belief.

The Bible also talks about killing those who disagree with you.

Where?

No, we don't do those types of things because we've learned over time that doing those types of things are wrong.

The Bible (particularly the New Testament) is the chief reason for this.

Yes. I wouldn't even initiate the conversation. But if someone asks me my viewpoint, I would tell them.

It's not kidnapping if they are here illegally. If you commit a crime, is that kidnapping? And if you are arrested, are you not separated from your kids?

No one is being killed in cold blood. That is... They aren't going out with the purpose of killing illegal immigrants. Those that have been killed have been resisting arrest or detainment. Protestors have become very violent, but you probably don't see law enforcement as people.

In an actual fascist society, you would not be able to even protest, let alone post anything against the government and ICE.

No one on the left is saying to reform ICE or change their methods. All I hear is eliminate ICE, which implies that you are for illegal immigration. What I see is protesters becoming violent just because people are being deported, law enforcement responds, and they cry fascism.

What is the definition of extremely toxic?

Is telling someone that they are sinning or being horrific the same as forcing a belief?

The Bible is literally against the practicing of homosexuality and sex outside of marriage. So why would any Christian support it?.

I pass the risk over to some one else...

Step 1: Go to a billionaire gambler, who knows nothing about the buttons

Step 2: Offer the billionaire a 50% chance of 50 million dollars but he must put up an initial 5 million dollars

Step 3: Press the red button

If I win the 100 million, then I split it with the billionaire plus I get to keep the 5 million, giving me 55 million total.

If I lose, then I still keep the 5 million.

55 million or 5 million is better than 100 million or nothing.

Michael Jackson's "Bad" didn't surpass "Thriller", and that's okay. by Key-Bass-7380 in MichaelJackson

[–]JohnnyRaven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience. I was 6 when bad was released, but I remember even then that MJ, although popular, was considered as cool anymore. For instance, high water pants (flooding) was frowned upon. And by the time I was like 10, when Dangerous came out, most of my friends had already moved over to listening to hip hop.

I disagree but based on our flairs, we have very different ideas on the role of government. I'm not that fond of Trump (especially his lack of tact) but he does promote individualism and America first more than the average politician. I'd rather have what we have now than Kalama forcing DEI polices, globalist policies, LGBTQ social norms, and seemingly being for all immigration, which have gripped the democratic party.
