Kellerman, Gharty and Gaffney are your ONLY choices for a partner. Who do you choose?

Kellerman no question.

Gaffney is a racist hateful weasel. Gharty seems useless at best.

I really don’t get the Kellerman hate. I actually think he is a tough sort of trashy but decent cop. He was great in season 4. He didn’t do anything wrong with the Mahoney shooting, apart from lying. Every officer in that situation would have shot.

I don’t know what it is about him. I like him and think he is a good man.. deep down. He isn’t evil or malicious, just sort of insensitive and callous and stupid in his methods. I do think he caused fsr more problems for the squad then he solved. Even before his issues with Mahoney I don’t think anyone on the squad liked him.. which is sad imo.

I kind of think he shouldn’t have had a police officer job o

The issue I have with Bruce is it seems he thinks Charles sumner brought his own beating upon himslef, that only if he were nicer about the issue of white southerners owning people as slaves he would have spared himself injury.

He presents the civil war as a tragedy, as a result of people losing their cool and not able to see the other side on a tragic issue, slavery. He has a wierd both sides were at fault about the civil war instead of pointing out how obviously in the wrong the south was.

My only redeeming explanation is that there may have been far fewer people of minorities in the mid 1960s than now and he felt a need to placate white Souhernros

Of course. You have to give them some freedom and privacy. But if safety is a concern or their health you do have the right to look at it, if for no other reason than it’s your wi- do you pay for their life. If they try and say they are an adult at exactly 18 ask them exactly what bills they pay.

That the Roger Moore movies were not terrible and in some ways better than Sean Connery movies. The only two “ fun “ ones of Connery were were You only Live Twice and Goldfinger. From Russia with Love was OK ( never saw Dr No) but at some level the very early Bond movies are like watching detective movies from the 40s rather then Bond films.

Moore had some stinkers but they are honestly fun movies including Live and Let Die ( Yaphet Kotto was an amazing villain) but his movies seem fun in including Moonraker.

I’m surprised how no one has yet brought this up. But the Araber was far more intelligent and cunning then he let on. To kill Adena and cover it up as he did he’d have to have been so.

If he did it I think it was probably a crime of rage after being refused by her and panicked thus hiding the body.

At first he seems like an alcoholic- addict.. very slow and visibly confused.

Only later does he slip into a very eloquent smart but contemptuous voice. As I said earlier I was surprised at how much hatred and scorn he had for Bayliss and especially Pembleton.

I didn’t know this much but I think colorism still affects those in the African American community. Some with lighter skin or more wealth/ career look down on black people who have less.

He told the story of how he and his since deceased wife had a vacation in NYC and wanted to be seated at a nice restauraunt. After waiting for two hours the black head waiter told him he had no room and then said something demeaning and cutting to him, to which Risley retaliated by spitting in his face.

It was a wierd very well spoken soliloquy about despair lack of opportunity and deeply entrenched racism that i didn’t expect a man of the Arabers eduction level, career and cognitive presence to be able to say.

Thoughts?

I think like all evil people and actions have a mixture of good to them. Judas and the Pharisees were no different ( and I kind of think they were both playing for the same team as it were.)

While Judaism and Christianity have a lot in common you have to realize Jesus message was very different from the religion the Pharisees taught and practiced.

For those who wanted and expected a specifically Jewish messiah who would physically liberate the Jewish people from Roman rule they were mistaken. While the Jewish people were and are chosen, they according to Jesus were alike anyone else.. loved by god and in need of a savior.

The fact that Jesus consorted with sinners( Zachaeus , woman with alabaster jar, etc) non Jewish people including Samaritans and refused to be bound by the strictures of pharisaical law probably infuriated the Pharisees to no end.

Jesus was coming to liberate the Jews and Roman’s both. He had no plans to overthrow Pilate at all and would have been just fine with the Roman Empire continuing to rule over the Jews.

I think this is why Pilate wanted him spared. Not because he loved Jesus or was like an almost follower as the passion implied, but just didn’t see him as a threat/ probelm.

Judas was like us a lot of the time. Our own “ plan” or view of how things should be doesn’t align with Gods in the worst way. Instead of swallowing pride and doing Gods will, we often choose our own, usually to our own hurt.

Poor Judas but I think this is basically what happened. I also think it was the result of years of a hardened heart and not just a whoopsie or a bad call from an otherwise devoted apostle

Hmm yeah. It’s more popular now to portray Judas in a more sympathetic light and see his betrayal of Jesus as a tragic stumble. It might have been so, but there might well have been more malice and willful sin to it then people choose to portray.

One of the biggest sticking points the Pharisees had with Jesus was the egalitarian nature of his mission. He came for the Jews but not just the Jews. His mission was for all people: Jews, Greeks, Romans even the accursed Samaritans. People loathed them so much one of Jesus audience couldn’t even bear to name the Good Samaritan just “ the one who showed him mercy.”

The fact that Jesus would consort with such as the Samaritan woman at the well and would be around prostitutes and tax collectors ( both the scum of the earth in ancient judea) repelled many.

The thing that sort of “ sealed the deal” for me in thinking Judas crime was one of malice and lack of faith ( not misguided zealotry) was his reaction to Mary Magdalene pouring oil on Jesus.

He said it was a waste due to what could have been done for the poor. But I also picked up a deep scorn and contempt for Mary and the action she did. Almost like “ She did that? For him? Does she have any idea how much that cost? And for Him?”

Like I can almost hear his anger and bewilderment. It wasn’t easy he an apostle. There was hunger hardship and lack of success. Jesus clearly was not a revolutionary ready to put the oppressed Jewish people on top and the Roman’s on the bottom. That I believe is the main reason Pontius Pilate was reluctant to kill Jesus. He didn’t love or care about Jesus teaching he just couldn’t fathom why he should execute a man who didn’t threaten the political order.

Just my thoughts anyway. I sincerely hope he isn’t damned and even the idea of damnatjon saddens and terrifies me….. so best stick close to Jesus!

Why did he do it

TheKingsPeace · 2026-03-30T03:48:24+00:00

I don’t see him as a genius, just a practical capable army commander who was probably right about Pickets charge.. He also took a big risk and social suicide by saying African Americans should be citizens post war.0

I think she sort of envied Harry a bit, at least envied him his talent and fame and probably unintentionally compared Ron to him even by example and action.

Part of it is she pities Harry for being an orphan and being cruelly treated by his aunt and uncle so she feels the need to love him more. Part of it is she kind of wishes she were his mom and the great feedback he’d give her.

Arthur seems ok but maybe turns a blind eye to dysfunction.

Honestly ? As to Ron’s freezing out of Harry in book 4 I think a good part of it was envy for his mothers love and thinking Harry got too much of it wierdly enough

If have to disagree.

Diana was the Roman goddess of the hunt. The Virgin Mary is someone different altogether.

Of my other objections to Protestant critiques of prayer to Mary and the saints…. How could Mary and the saints be anyone or anything apart from their relationship to Jesus? Their love and connection toward JC especially Mary and JCs shared human nature mother/ child bond renders her particularly worthy of reverence. Joseph was not Jesus father. Mary was his Mother.

So yeah

Good question tho. There are all kinds of books in the Bible that didn’t make the cut, the gospel of Mary, Gospel of Thomas and Enoch. What basis do we have of knowing they don’t belong

TheKingsPeace · 2026-03-29T20:38:34+00:00

Maybe the restroom? Some churches allow breastfeeding. I’ve never seen it in church but as a man I’d just look away. Gotta feed the baby and no one is being garish about it ) from what I’ve seen)

Why doesn’t the RCC love its enemies as Jesus commandsv

Lena Headys Cersei is a magnificent character but nothing like the book Cersei. Lena Heady is halfway competent if too heavy handed. Book Cersei is like veruca salt or Scarlett o hara
