RE: Answer a question with a question

Is there a queue for the pool?

RE: What´s the best country to visit in the EU?

The past is another country.....

RE: Still paying for the Pope

Perhaps I got that impression when you said "organized religion was only ever about power, status, and control".

Or was that actually meant as a compliment?

RE: Answer a question with a question

Why are you so interested in where my balls are?

RE: What are you passionate about or feel strongly about

I can't imagine passion and employment ever coinciding. I know they do for some lucky sods, but surely these people are a small minority?

RE: Answer a question with a question

Wouldn't that be telling?

RE: Obama For President in 2020 or 2024?

It is encouraging to see that the "other party" in the USA has no obvious presidential candidates.....

Makes a Trump homerun more likely....

RE: GUYS wearing socks.

Surely nobody would wear socks for more than one day?

RE: What did the horse say to the scarecrow?

Spelling Bees....wasn't that a rock band?

Oh no wait, that was Counting Crows........

RE: Is Obama a Muslim?

Although you are right in this instance, I'd be highly dubious about quoting the website Snopes as an authority!

RE: Is Obama a Muslim?

I'm 46.

RE: Trump aide Ricardel forced out after showdown with first lady

Are you this judgmental about your friends' relationships?

Q: What did the horse say to the scarecrow?

A: Looks like we're neigh-bours!

RE: Is Obama a Muslim?

Trump is by far the best president the USA has had in my lifetime.

Can you imagine Obama going to Poland and talking about defending Christian values?

Not on your nellie!

RE: Why do u comment on the forums.........?

Because I feel that I owe the world the benefit of my insight, intelligence, and common sense.

RE: Trump aide Ricardel forced out after showdown with first lady

Mr T, thanks for making up a ficticious quote from me. Very mature.

Happy now?

RE: Trump aide Ricardel forced out after showdown with first lady

Thanks for re-phrasing your question without the snide references to her being an immigrant and marrying for money.

You are improving.

RE: Trump aide Ricardel forced out after showdown with first lady

At no point have I insulted Macron's manhood. I thought you did, but re-reading your post, it seems you were taking a dig at Trump, not Macron.

RE: Trump aide Ricardel forced out after showdown with first lady

Nope. You are the one implying immigrants are somehow less worthy. And now disingenuously trying to claim that you aren't.

The fact that Melania Trump wasn't born in the USA is relevant to your point, how exactly?

RE: Is Obama a Muslim?

He was not a Muslim. But he was a shockingly bad President.

RE: Trump aide Ricardel forced out after showdown with first lady

Funny how so many of you Trump-bashers think it's OK to imply that Melania Trump is somehow less worthy because she's only "an immigrant", yet think that standing up to ILLEGAL immigration is a bad thing.....

RE: Should laws that restrict access to guns be abandoned?

Most Western countries have stringent gun control, sadly.

RE: Trump aide Ricardel forced out after showdown with first lady

Good to see you are not prejudiced.

RE: Trump aide Ricardel forced out after showdown with first lady

Good to see you are a mind reader. That must be a neat trick at parties?

RE: Which social issue is going to be the hottest in 2018?

From my perspective: Stopping the people who want to stop the rise of populism.......

RE: My future Husband...

You and I both admire that in a person, then.

I admire you for starting this thread.

RE: Which social issue is going to be the hottest in 2018?

Am glad you share my disgust at the murder of toddlers in Holland and Belgium then.

Let us be frank. The number of people who genuinely want to die, but are physically incapable of killing themselves (and therefore "need" someone to do it for them) is microscopic. Negligible. To be "humane" to these people you want to open the floodgates to old ladies being pressured to die, to children being killed without their consent, to a culture in which young people are given the message "if life sucks, just die, you'll be happier".

Things have consequences, and the issue is not quite as simple as you seem to think.

RE: Which social issue is going to be the hottest in 2018?

I don't disagree.

But what you are proposing is not that people who want to die should have the right to take their own life (they have that right already).

What you are proposing is that people should have the right to take the lives of others.

RE: My future Husband...

What is it that attracts you specifically?

RE: Which social issue is going to be the hottest in 2018?

I have no doubt that you mean well.

But remember what they say about the road to hell......

In Belgium and the Netherlands, voluntary euthanasia has now given way to the involuntary killing of babies and infants.....

The Slippery Slope is not a figment of the imagination......
