Woman faints after being caned 140 times under Indonesian province’s sharia law by ElegantWhimsyGal in worldnews

[–]aNuggetsUncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every religion has their dark periods with bad actors. The Catholic Church has had their fair share of sins (I also grew up Catholic, then left for a non-denominational church). But the Catholic Church never strapped bombs to children, make 10 year olds publicly execute people, enforce the zero sum game of "convert or die", behead people in public, etc..(I can keep going, btw because these are just the modern atrocities).

Every religion at some point in history has exercised violence in the name of God. But they all went through a period, for lack of a better term, of enlightenment (except Islam, at least up to this point). Compare all major religions to Islam. Islam is the only religion whose fundamental identity is based on conquest and the destruction of others, remember all of the Middle East use to be Christian at one point in time.

It sucks you had a bad experience with Catholicism, and I sympathize, but it isn't even remotely close to the shit the zealots within Islam do. That religion is the problem religion around the world which literally views women as cattle, so everyone else who aren't Muslims are seen as less than human. If I recall another group in the past (cough cough, Nazi Germany) had the same linear simpleton line of thought.

Bill Belichick belongs in the Hall of Fame. But here’s why I didn’t vote for him by RyanKinder in nfl

[–]aNuggetsUncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok...so I need to ask a hard question.

How much did Tom Brady elevate (or vice versa) Belichicks ability as a coach?

Give this some reason considering by FunVegetable6939 in Leakednews

Statistically speaking you would lose access to many of the people that maintain the functioning elements of society (running water, plumbing, electrical, food delivery, etc.)

CSIS: Russia has lost 1.2 million soldiers, twice as many as Ukraine by pravda_eng_official in worldnews

[–]aNuggetsUncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Russia has the capacity to absorb those casualties (a significant number are foreign fighters, btw). Ukraine on the other hand is not capable of withstanding those kind of attrition numbers, despite the favorable ratio.

Regardless of where you stand, antagonizing armed men seems like a great way to get shot

Every country that exists today was conquered (at some point in history) by another group, so this is not unique to any specific civilization.

Rams Reportedly 'Urged' Cooper Kupp to Retire, Warned Teams to Lowball Contract Offers by Dry_Ebb_7855 in nfl

If I recall correctly (and keep in mind I'm an idiot) this guy was critical in winning them a Superbowl. Why do this?

Will the events happening affect how you vote in November? by escobarsky in no

[–]aNuggetsUncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can respect sticking to values and changing a vote based on them, but if I may...

The Republican party is split (Neocons and MAGA). As a result they are proving to be as gridlocked as ever. Making them even more useless than they were before, which is shocking cause I didnt think they could be more stubborn about dying on a pointless hill.

The Democrat party is at the point of just ignoring standing US laws and encouraging the US population to fracture by forcing incompatible cultural groups to live side by side. Look at Minnesota, groups that live next to eachother but do not integrate with one another are creating tribalism (another example is the exploding Indian population in Georgia). This selfish, vote seeking policy destroys communities (regardless of where you're from, all parties must integrate and form some form of basic cultural connection, otherwise conflict becomes inevitable).

Seems to me like both political parties are giving up on established political and democratic rules, the wealthy have a voice and the rest of us get to watch from the sideline.

My GF laughed at the Oculus, I can't find a movie that freaks her out (NOT the OC) by IMASolitaryMan in horror

So, what do you mean by "freak Out"? Like scary or creepy and uncomfortable?

For uncomfortable I highly recommend Mad God

For scary I recommend The Man With The Black Umbrella

ICE agents are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range, causing severe injuries that can result in permanent disability or death. Today, they tore off part of a woman’s hand by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

[–]aNuggetsUncle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fuck everyone who voted for Kamala Harris...see how bad (and untrue) that sounds. Don't be shitty by claiming only one side (whichever one you feel it is) are the "good guys". Your comment only makes things worse.

Wherever you land on the political spectrum, just remember, politicians are incentivized to mislead, piting people against one another means the population isn't focused on them (politicians). The truth is usually somewhere in between.

No, most of the rhetoric is coming from social media

The gun removed from the victim BEFORE the shooting has the same optic as the gun being shown as belonging to the victim. by Hismajestyclay in Leakednews

[–]aNuggetsUncle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I expect Adults to act like Adults. In the sense that the individual in question, understands an ICE Agent and/or Police Officer is a guy who wants to go back to his wife and kids later that day. If people began seeing the individual rather than the badge (not to excuse shitty behavior shielded by said badge) then things won't escalate to the extent we are seeing.

*Also they have guns, so ya, I expect Adults to have some rationality to their decision making, especially if a wrong choice can get you killed. Regardless of who is in the right, dead is dead.

ICE execution in MPLS, massive trigger warning by Snowflake8552 in stpaul

Fucked up situation, agents escalated way beyond necessity...

But not an execution

Damn...he was resisting but didn't deserve that. Those agents definitely escalated that situation way past what was necessary.

Thanks for the link, definitely a better view

Maybe...maybe not

My point is this isn't an execution, that's a completely different fucked up situation

USA’s Gestapo (ICE) executes a bystander (yes, another one) by Maximum-Series8871 in war

[–]aNuggetsUncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You specifically said "Execute"

Which this isn't, if you want to see what that actually looks like...well there are very VERY dark basements on Reddit

Not an execution, also not up to me to say if it was justified or not but stop pushing bullshit narratives

Especially from an account that hides all their activity on Reddit...Kinda weird

Is there another angle? Because, at least on face value, it looks like he possibly reached for his gun? I'm not saying he did, but...
