One thing I can never understand... Why is it so important for atheists to discuss someone they don't believe exist. Weird. I don't go to Hindu forums and tell them that Krishna never existed, and I don't go to Muslim forums either and argue with them that Muhammad or their Allah never existed.
It wasn't me who brought up the subject. She stated in her profile that her faith was important for her and when I contacted her she was telling me about a lot of religious stuff, so I told her I have my own ideas. This is when I told her about the tribal inheritance rule. That simply disqualified her religion and she got upset.
Oh, you chase JWs away? Do you know that you are simply reinforcing their faith because they see the fulfilment of Jesus' prophecy in your action and they believe they will be rewarded for their persecution? So you actually do them a favour.
I always talk to them, nicely as they do, and show them where and why they are wrong. Some of them think, but because they are never alone, they try not to show it.
Another free site did the same with me without giving me any reason. Then somehow I figured out how to email them and they told me I insulted ladies. I don't have the slightest blue idea what they mean. I debated with one of them about religion and challenged her beliefs, but I did it gently. Like stating that in ancient Judaism tribal membership was inherited through the father's blood line, so a virgin-born Jesus did not qualify as the Messiah. This should not be upsetting anyone, yet, I was banned forever
I came to Australia through a refugee centre in Europe. I know that there were many refugees who sold their homes and brought the money out. One of them put it inside the car tyre, but much of it got burned during the long drive. Some people left without anything. They had it hard. I was young and had nothing. The Western Europeans hated these people, but used them for their own benefit, exploited them. They employed them for $3-5/h when citizens earned more than 5 times that amount.
Even when I was in that refugee camp I heard that Australia accepted boat people. But you had to have money to pay for the trip and it was very expensive because of the risks involved. So poor people could not afford it.
Yes, blame it on him. He never had the capability to present dange to the West, so there was no need for the embargo - unless the quest was to take over all the oil in the Middle-East which is the real reason.
2. What they meant must be determined in the light of ancient Judaism and not by anyone's opinion. Yeshua ben Yosef was a Jew who taught Judaism. So did his Jewish followers. It was not until after the Greek churches broke away from the Jews that they began interpreting these Jewish documents with the help of the Greek philosophy and religion they were familiar with.
Most of the time, if there are children involved, they remain with the women unless the man has some financial muscle and goes to court.
I must admit I have no statistics about this, I only speak from what I saw and heard.
And when a woman walks out with a child she is able to take a very significant portion of the assets and the guy is left with next to nothing and a huge child support bill for a long time.
I don't know if the laws have changed and how much. I think Howard changed them, so a partner cannot get a portion until after about three years of relationship. Maybe that is the reason my ex split with me after 3 and 1/2 :-)
Some time ago I read in the Brisbane paper that there is a man draught in Brisbane also. Maybe the men are too busy chasing other men
Seriously, I think the laws contributed to the problem. In my view whatever you bring into a relationship should be yours to take out. However, this is not necessarily the case. In the past I heard about a man who had an affair for 6 months and half of his property went to the girl. Another guy brought himself a Filipino wife, they had four children, then the woman opted for the divorce. The guy had a factory, good superannuation, he lost it all. I had a mate who went to London for a visit and while he was there his wife emptied their savings, took the car and moved out. He never again entered into another relationship.
I have nothing, so I am here What a bargain!
Many women took advantage of these laws.
Now you wonder why there is a man draught. Maybe they just don't want to get burned again and rather go for one night stands.
Why do you expect reference to dinosaurs? Does it mention elephants? Giraffes? Cats? Cockroaches? Three are heaps of things it doesn't mention. It only mentions what were of interest to the writers.

Or maybe they are just plain bored.
