I think the correct word would be accurate.
RE: How Trump is following Hitlers playbook
The white women that support Trump have the same agenda that their male white counterparts have...They are not concerned about Trump's transgressions but only their 'God'...as their religion it is cult like and they want to promote their backward ways...

They didn't give a reason. It was excessive, so maybe it was the 8th ammendment. It would be good to know, even just to see what worked for him.

Yes you might not mean that but I think you have a problem with lack of oxygen in your brain not to see how dirty tRump and his party were playing in the 2016 election.
New horror movie to my collection and a desire to go on a blind date at some point
Yes. More fun because you never know who you might meet up with. You could meet an actor, a musician, a model or a regular person.I am not saying that I demand to meet an actor, musician or model. I'm just saying that it's possible that you could meet those kind of people at a blind date

This commandment is a call to do just that. It's God saying I wouldn't be talking about this if it wasn't a really, really big deal and a danger to everybody. Coveting will take over your life. If you don't recognize it and intentionally live against its every beck and call. As parents, we need to be very careful that we don't unintentionally nurture coveting in our children. We need to help our children understand why they want things, and we need to help steer them away from being driven by coveting.Here's what I mean, because this is what we'll do with our kids sometimes. There's another kid playing with a toy, and we'll say, well, you can play with that toy later.
They're playing with it. Now, what we're really saying is, well, you can cover it, but just make sure you add patients to your cover. Still not a virtue. It's still coveting. Or we'll tell them what we'll I'll go and buy you one of those toys. What we're saying is, "Oh, you're right to covet. And to prove that you're right to, I'm going to give in to your coveting." Or we'll say, "Why don't you play with this toy?"
It's even better what we're saying is, oh, you can satisfy your covetousness by getting something even better than that other kid has. The problem is those core beliefs they've been taught are going to manifest when they get older and get their first credit card. It's going to affect their career, their ambitions, their motivations. It's going to affect what they devote their life to, their life's pursuit. We have to be intentional about raising our children to be heavenly-minded, eternally-minded rather than earthly-minded. Good parenting says, "Hey, buddy... Hey, sweetheart, I know you'd really like to play with that toy. But right now, they're playing with it and they're enjoying it. So, let's be happy for them. Let's find joy in their joy. And then you go find something that you already have that you can be grateful for because you're blessed."
And I know you're thinking, "Jeff, you're out of your mind if you think that's going to work with my kids." And I'll just tell you what my wife says to me when I get frustrated and I say, "How many times am I going to have to tell my kid this?!" And she'll always say, "Only about a thousand. Only about a thousand." It's like anything else in parenting. You've got to repeat it over and over and over again. But we've got to be real careful about not giving in to the coveting that exists in our children's hearts that is naturally there. We've gotta teach them how to be happy for other people. You know, I don't know how your children are, but most of the time, my children are never more passionate about justice than when they suspect that one of their siblings may have been given a little bit more than they were.
They turn into superheroes if they think that their brother may have been given one more minute of video game time than them. This is an outrage. Justice is at stake. Equality must be defended. You know, fairness is good. Fairness is a good thing. But so is learning how to be happy for someone else. When they get something that you didn't. And far too many adults have never learned how to be genuinely happy for someone else.
They haven't recognized how much they're driven by coveting and they haven't learned the secret of happiness, which is contentment. In Philippians for the apostle, Paul writes about the secret to happiness. The solution to coveting and he says this. It's on your outlines. I have learned in whatever state I am to be content. I know how to live humbly. And I know how to live in prosperity everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

Materialism is to covetousness as gas is to a fire.Advertising is a multi-billion-dollar industry that makes money by stirring up covetousness in our hearts. It's an industry that makes the same promises over and over again in different ways. And the promises are always along the lines of You'll be happier if you have this, you'll matter more. If you have this, you'll have more friends. If you have this, people will respect you more. If you have this. You'll be more attractive if you have this.
You'll attract the person you're looking for. If you have this. The promise of covetousness is always, "If you had this, THEN your life would be complete. THEN you'd be happy. You'd be at peace. You'd find love. You'd have purpose." Write this down: Covetousness falsely promises fulfillment through the acquisition of something or someone. I'll say it again: Covetousness falsely promises fulfillment through the acquisition of something or someone. "If you get this, you'll be fulfilled." That's the false promise of covetousness.
And yet those things don't ever really bring us any satisfaction. In fact, they usually don't even make us happy. In and of themselves. Because the moment we get something, we want something else. Don't we? The problem with coveting is that it's like lust when we feed it. It doesn't get satisfied. It just creates a greater appetite in us. We just want more. We get one house and we think, well, now that we're in, we're in this kind of home now.
This kind of home is within striking range and we can start working toward that.
The truth is that if I feed my greed, I'll always be a need. I'll always be a need. It'll never be enough.
Now this one's gonna hurt. So hold on. Most of the time, we're not happy with the things we have. We're happy with the things we have that our neighbor doesn't have. I say that one again to most of the time, we're not happy with the things we have, we happy with the things we have that our neighbor doesn't have.
And if that didn't make you say ouch, that you're not paying attention if you're a parent. One of your great frustrations is likely how quickly children lose interest in their toys.
But we all know that there's a magical way to get them to crave that toy again more than anything
in the world. All you have to do is have another kid play with that toy in front of them. Because suddenly it's, "Mommy! Daddy! That's... that... that's my toy! I want to play with it!" Even though they haven't touched it for nine months, right? Our natural self is not happy with the things we have, it's happy with the things we have that our neighbor doesn't have.
And so, we go round and round on the same ride, repeating the same pattern over and over again into adulthood, often until the day we die. Never clueing in to what's right in front of us. To the obvious thought. Hey, hey, wait a minute. None of those other things that I thought would make me happy. Did. Maybe stuff, maybe things, and having people is not really the path to true fulfillment. We just repeat the same empty cycle over and over again.
Never acknowledging the obvious. That stuff. And covetousness never leads to real fulfillment. One of the hardest things to be honest with ourselves about is, is why we want things. We're not very good at being honest with ourselves about that. Most adults will never get to the place where they're honest enough with themselves and know themselves well enough to be able to recognize when their behavior is being driven by insecurity, a need for affirmation, or a desire for status.
This commandment is a call to do just that. It's God saying I wouldn't be talking about this if it wasn't a really, really big deal and a danger to everybody. Coveting will take over your life. If you don't recognize it and intentionally live against its every beck and call. As parents, we need to be very careful that we don't unintentionally nurture coveting in our children.

Series: Exodus
Passage: Exodus 20:17-...Speaker: Jeff Thompson
As the Ten Commandments draw to a close, they conclude in a unique way: with a commandment addressing our internal thoughts and motivations...
In our study through the Book of Exodus, we have been camped out of the Ten Commandments in Chapter 20 for the last couple of months. And today we're going to wrap things up with the 10th and final commandment in Exodus 20:17. The Lord gives Israel and us this command: "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's." "Covet" is not really a word that we use in our everyday vocabulary.
The dictionary explains it as feeling or showing a very strong desire for something that you do not have, and especially for something that belongs to someone else. This 10th commandment refers specifically to the act of coveting something that belongs to someone else, something that belongs to your neighbor, as the Lord puts it. And the first thing I want us to notice about this commandment is that it specifically addresses an internal desire. Did you notice that this commandment is not about an action?
It goes upstream to the condition of the heart that leads to sinful actions, specifically breaking the other nine commandments. And that's fascinating because you can't regulate a person's internal thoughts and motives. You can't pass laws to enforce this commandment because we can't see and do each other's hearts. So, what does that mean? What do we take from that? I think it's evidence that the Ten Commandments are first and foremost, not about our accountability to each other. They are about our accountability to God.
The one who can perceive our internal thoughts and motives. So make a note of this. It's the first fill in on your outline. The internal nature of the 10th commandment reveals our ultimate accountability to God. The internal nature of the Tenth Commandment reveals that ultimately the Ten Commandments are about our accountability to God. You know, some historians will say stuff like, oh, you know, the Ten Commandments were really just moral laws based on pre-existing laws from other cultures in the Middle East, like the Code of Hammurabi written down to form the framework of a new Hebrew society.
In other words, they're just borrowed ideas from other ancient Near Eastern cultures put together into some sort of moral code so that Hebrew society could have a foundation. But this tenth commandment doesn't fit that description because unlike all of those other ancient moral codes, this 10th commandment deals not with an action, but with intent. The internal emotions, motivations and thoughts of a person.
When Jesus came to the Earth as a man, he taught that from God's perspective, all of the Ten Commandments applied not only to our actions, but also to our intentions. And this 10th commandment was clearly intended to tip us off to that reality all the way back in the ancient days of Exodus, Chapter 20.
And so those who claim that the Ten Commandments were borrowed from other cultures or were just civil laws ascribed to an invented deity, have a conundrum with this tenth commandment because it can not be externally observed or regulated. It may lead to external actions, but internal covetousness cannot in and of itself be observed. The Ten Commandments are simply unlike anything that existed in the ancient Near Eastern world or has ever existed anywhere since.

He doesn't have to.That rapist, etc, is untouchable. The laws does not apply to him.
If he is elected gone for good is America as we know it.
RE: Speed dating
Hi Suzie,Yes and in Spain when I lived there.We used to go to Benalmadena on a roof top terrace Hotel.It was fun and interesting to start with but the novelty soon wore off to be honest as I began to wonder what some of the men were actually there for. Must say most were British though
RE: Speed dating
If the meeting is setup via a dating site, the icing on the cake would be to see an RSVP list of who is planning to attend. Scan the list and if you don't see anyone who would be of interest, you have saved yourself a night of failure. Or... attending with a positive attitude and something really nice could happen.Take the chance.
RE: Speed dating
Has anyone done it, pros and cons?A very long time ago. Sponsored by POF and the meeting was a nightclub / restaurant.
Similar details in it wasn't very far from me.
The failure was no one organized the activities.
No introductions, no name tags, no activities... nothing.
The guys gathered, the women gathered. Very little interaction.
A total failure in my opinion.
Hopefully, you don't have the same experience.
RE: Joe biden’s puppeteer wants to turn America to Marxism. No one here wants to be marxist
I don't need educating .I only have to look at Putin, the oligarchs and Russia for a classic example that it doesn't work. How Putin stays in control and what he does to retain his grip on Russia is beyond belief.A Socialist country with no socialising but plenty of fraternising.

RE: oregon farming laws
Liberal state declares war on small farmers and homesteaders: War on food is spreading in U.S. through land-use restrictions, geoengineering and waves of propaganda
>snip The World Economic Forum warned us several years ago that its ultimate goal was to destroy the middle class. How else would you explain their slogan: “You will own nothing and learn to like it“?
This mantra is playing out in real time in the state of Oregon, and other states, in various forms which we will get into in this article.
Small farmers are under attack in the Beaver State, which has begun shutting down family farms throughout the state under the guise of water conservation and groundwater protection.
The owner of Yanasa Ama Ranch shared a 20-minute video explaining what is going on in Oregon as bureaucrats erroneously classify small family farms and homesteads as “concentrated animal feeding operations,” or CAFOs, in order to shut them down. Any feeding area that has a concrete, rock or gravel floor falls into this category, which would include most small dairy or egg farms.
If you have two or three milking cows, the rancher explains, you are now targeted by the state for closure.>snip

RE: Crocus
I completely agree with you Conrad. This is the most likely scenario. you can see how the murder of Navalny, the rigged elections and the fact that Ukraine is transferring the war to the territory of the Russian Federation have faded into the background. The Kremlin is trying to show that it’s all not so important / That’s what’s important - the fight against terrorism. switching attention. Putin, frightened by the attacks on oil refineries and the transfer of the war to the territory of the Russian Federation, is now trying to play the card of international terrorism. And yes, terrorism is really scary thing but Russia is just a part of this international terrorism, like Iran, but not at all a victim of it.

RE: How Trump is following Hitlers playbook
There have been plenty of white women supporting him too, surprisingly.RE: How Trump is following Hitlers playbook
I think some are rather blind as to support Trump and Putin...one wants to be a dictator and the other is a dictator pretending to hold fair elections (the opposition ends up poisoned or falling out of a tall building)It is hard to support any male politician or circus ring leader (Trump) who brags about grabbing women's pussies or has to pay restitution to those he sexually violated...or supporting to curtail women's rights and blame immigrants and other minorities for the problems within the USA...it is something that Hitler repeated and continued to do until people were conditioned to hear it...Trump uses the word vermin numerous times to describe others...including calling Mexicans rapists and bad hombres ( that is in Hitler's play book)...it makes extermination easier...
So once again I see mainly white male members here support Trump and Co...and have no problems with the sexist/racist agenda he supports...not to mention that whole riot/instigation of Jan 6th that caused injury and death...Trump and his supporters were responsible...
Trump's only agenda is about him...he will endorse whatever BS that the evangelicals want as they support him...The far right Christians in the Republican Party want control and Trump is their vessel...

Zeus was immortal and could live forever. He defeated the Titans. He could shapeshift. He defeated Poseidon and Hades. These are just a few of his unique abilities.
RE: God Bless the USA! Court Lowers Trump Bond From $464 Million to $175 Million. Due in 10 days.
A quote from another news source..."A New York court handed Donald Trump a lifeline on Monday as time ran out for the former president to secure a bond covering the $454m loss for his recent fraud case.
A panel of appellate court judges gave Trump 10 days to secure a far smaller $175m bond just hours before New York’s attorney general could legally begin the long, slow process of seizing his assets.
The reduction in the bond amount does not reduce the total $454m fine Trump will ultimately be expected to pay if an appeals court upholds the judgment. Rather, a bond works as assurance that Trump will pay the fine’s full amount if his appeal is unsuccessful. It is unclear how long the appellate court will take to issue a ruling, though it could take at least a few months."
This means Trump is given more time and lets hope he pays Jean too...
After tweeting he has the money to pay but wants to use other's monies...
So this is not a victory but an example of the judicial system trying to be accommodating...so Trump's rantings of a witch hunt or bias towards him regarding 'the system' is proving false...
It also means that they probably know that Trump is not as wealthy as he claims to be...
