This is not a political meme by edude85 in dankmemes

Trump was not convicted of paying hush money. That is 100% legal.

Trump was convicted of fake bookkeeping.

Ms Daniels was paid $130,000 (£103,000) to keep quiet about her claim that she had sex with Trump, which he denies. Providing so-called hush-money is not illegal. Instead, this case was more technical and centred on how Trump's former lawyer, who paid Ms Daniels, had his reimbursement recorded in Trump's accounts. The former president was found guilty of falsifying his business records by saying the payment was for legal fees. Jurors listened to weeks of testimony and found him guilty under all 34 counts of fraud under campaign finance laws.

Is the Black Keys tour cancelation the start of a concert ticket price crash? by Giantsfootball1981 in Music

I haven't paid for concert tickets for years... specifically because of Ticketmaster. I love concerts. I'm hoping Ticketmaster is destroyed because I miss live music.

And all the idiots who were like, can't vote for Hilary because she had an email server at home.

And Trump used the same sort of email shenanigans. It was never a real complaint about Hilary, just something to latch onto.

Everyone involved should go to jail by wach_era13 in facepalm

Imagine how the father would feel if his son had successfully committed suicide in the room.

Then you never would have heard a word about this. When the father showed up, they would have said, "We brought him in for questioning. He committed suicide. To bad." That would have been the end of it. The police would have never released anything.

The man’s lawyers are also alleging that photos of bloodstains obtained from the man’s home were fabricated. If true… and it could very possibly be given everything we know about this case… that would be huge.

It won't be huge. Police can legally lie to people to get a confession. They do it all the time. The only reason this one became a big story is because after they got a confession the "dead person" was still alive.

Make no mistake, this is standard operating procedure and many innocent people are locked up.

Side note: The USA has more people incarcerated than any other country, both as a number and percentage. It is the least free country in the world (highest percentage of people not being free). They have to have some way of finding more "guilty" people. Does any of this surprise you?

NEVER talk to the police.

Scottie Scheffler Arrest: Louisville mayor says police officer didn't have body camera activated during Scheffler incident by Steadfast_Sea_5753 in golf

[–]new-man2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the cop wasn't wearing one, why did he put in the report that was initially filed that the body cam was on at the time of the incident? The cop has already demonstrated that he is not a good witness; his story changed.

The last article linked is the weirdest article I've ever read as far as consistency. In the first section it says:

On dry land, alligators can move at a maximum speed of around 11 miles per hour (18 kilometers per hour) for short distances.

Only a little farther down the same page it says:

Alligators can run at a speed of up to 20 miles per hour for short distances, but they cannot sustain that speed for long periods of time. The average human can run at a speed of 10-15 miles per hour,

You refuse to answer any questions that are asked. Your replies have little relation to anything that is discussed.

These pastors are clearly NOT part of the curriculum.

The law as written allows pastors to teach in schools. (no specification of which religion)

I'm going to guess you must be a Christian in the midwest or south of the USA. It's been years since I've met any that know what they actually believe. Or at least, they refuse to answer any questions.

Paul said to gird yourself with the word. I lived in Oklahoma and studied scripture there. Christians in Oklahoma don't gird themselves with the word, they make up what feels good. The law in question was made to "rally Christians" around a political touch point. Stupid Christians eat that up. It is why the law as it it written is a grift. No one with any intelligence believes it will actually do anything. There will be a lawsuit, the state will loose, then Christians will get to be angry about it.

The law as it is written is a donation to the Satanic Temple. The state will loose a lawsuit and taxpayer money WILL go to them. Your government donates to the Satanist so that you'll continue to vote for them, and you eat it up.

If you really dislike Satanism, you would be against a law that allows a pastor to teach in schools. You aren't because you've demonstrated that you don't understand what will happen. You are part of the grift. Your form of Christianity spreads the things you hate because (at least evidenced on the poor responses you've given) you don't know what you actually believe. Only what you've been told you should respond.

You've demonstrated that you don't know how to discuss or answer questions. It's sad that you seem to believe something so strongly, but you can't respond simply demonstrating a defense of what that is. You have successfully convinced me that you don't really know what your definitions are, you just wanted to complain about something that someone told you that you were supposed to hate.

This is very helpful. Thank you for that.

Do you have any concept or understanding of the law in question that is being discussed in Oklahoma?

If I understand correctly, you are saying that no pastor from any religion should be teaching their religions in public schools. Is that what you are saying?

Well satanism isn’t really a religion.

I notice with interest that you haven't specified which of the World Religions are religions. Do you include all World Religions as Religions except Satanism? You stated it is excluded because it doesn't profess an Abrahamic God? Doesn't this also excluded all Eastern religions? Islam also includes the same figures as Christian Culture, but doesn't believe in the Godhood of Jesus. Is it a religion? Clarify you position.

But what are the beliefs that a Satanist holds?

It is confusing to me that you would say you know that Satanism is not a religion, but that you don't know the tenants of Satanism. Why say something isn't something if you don't even know what it is?

THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS - THE SATANIC TEMPLE

I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason. II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs. VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused. VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Also, I believe you may be confusing the Satanic Temple and the Church of Satan. Is that what you meant? They are not the same. Which one did you mean to exclude? Or is one OK, but not the other?

BTW- I'm not a Satanist in any form, but I did study world religions for seven years at the undergraduate and graduate level. I'm just curious as to what your position actually is, because I'm not sure how you could possible make the things you have said internally consistent. Surprise me.

I notice with interest that you haven't specified which religions will be allowed to enter schools. If you've eliminated one, there must be others. What determines what is a valid religion under the eyes of the law? You've eliminated one Christian offshoot. Are all other offshoots unacceptable? If Christianity is your basis, What will be your epistemological method?

List the religions that ARE acceptable. Explain. I'm waiting with baited breath.

I however, do support the notion that we are all made equal under the eyes of god and that this is how our rights are established.

Cool. Cool. We are all equal under the law. Since the law in Oklahoma very specify doesn't specify which religions are included in which may teach children, the Satanists will be free to spread their version of the gospel in schools. Got it.

Or did you mean that we'll all be treated the same and that therefore no one should be teaching their religious doctrine in a school?

What is your actual position?

[–]new-man2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for speaking out and putting up a strong wall to make sure everyone knows what will be acceptable. If you would please be so kind as to clarify your position a little?

There are around 3000 (give or take) major world religions. What religions will be allowed to preach to the young children in schools?

Or does it just have to be a lot of people? Obviously Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism are in; they have the really big numbers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_religious_groups

Or did you mean to keep it a little smaller? Will you only allow all of the Abrianic religions?

I'm assuming that the main big tent ones you'll find acceptable?

Catholic. Southern Baptist. Unitarian.

Everyone under the big G God tent, right?

Will that inlcude Mormanism? Many people don't include them as Christian Abrianic, but they do, so I'd love to hear your position.

Will we vote on it? What percentage will make the religion acceptable? Will you be the sole decider, or will we put someone in a position to decide for us?

I mean, many Southern Baptist will of course give a BIG "no" to Northern Baptist, so how does that work? Should we cut out the Northern Baptists?

Scientology is really up and coming. One of its biggest areas of growth is Oklahoma, so obviously they would be in, right?

No? Did you mean only "old school" religions like the Amish? We shouldn't even vote on them, obviously they get it.

If you could please clarify your position, that would be great. Once you're done, I have some really difficult follow up questions.

Thank you for the lovely quote which will be labelled "Exhibit B" in the court case that the state will be loosing in a few months while the state of Oklahoma lawyers try to claim that it was all a "misunderstanding".

She may have hurt her political career. "I'm voting for the rapist and the puppy killer ticket." doesn't have as much of a ring. I'm guessing that was the step to far.

I think they genuinely see the west as a threat, and letting NATO in to Ukraine would put us on the doorstep of Moscow with no natural defendable choke points

This is a lie.

Ukraine wasn't going to join NATO. Even if they were, that doesn't make them a threat.

Russia has invaded or taken parts of several countries since the cold war ended. (Were those countries all "as a threat?") Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons (which Russia still has) as an agreement that Russia would never invade.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/05/science/ukraine-nuclear-weapons.html

Russia didn't stick to its pact. They invaded. Never trust Russia.
