Actually, did not my questions come first?

But, to answer, biblically, adultery is always wrong.  And, it is deserving of death.  It is not ok now, if that is what you think changed.  What God chooses to do about may have - and there are still consequences to adultery, even if no one else knows but the two involved.

 

Your turn.
I want to know whether the original penalty was right or not. So in your god's eyes it is always moral to stone adulterers?
So, you are asking about the penalty, not whether the right or wrong of adultery has changed.

The penalty was just.  Actually, if you and I were to get what we deserve, according to the Bible, it would be alot worse.

But, there is mercy and grace in Jesus.
Allegedly that same "god", who passed the Ten Commandments; who told the Israelites..."Thou Shalt Not Kill.".......commanded them to commit genocide on a massive scale (according to their unverified history).

One of GM's best sedans. It's actually an Opel from Germany with Buick logos on it so it's engineered to a higher degree than the US stuff GM sells.

You are not alone.  Last month I had a charge on my credit card that was not mine.  It is a credit card that I do not use often, only for medical bills mostly so I know the theft occurred at the doctor's office or the billing center.  None one else had access to the number.  I promptly canceled the card and got a new number.  I would recommend that you check your credit card activity daily.
I did that once, cancelled my credit card before a charge was able to be put on it.  That was a case of someone offering me something I thought was legit and turned out to be a scam.  In a way, I'm glad I'm not alone in this and in another way I'm sorry this kind of thing happens.  I will be diligent from now on.  I do keep running tabs on my bank account and when there's a charge I don't recognize, I call the bank.  It has always turned out to be myself who paid for something and forgot to write it down in the register.

I don't get how you think your identiity has been stolen from this? Looks like they got into your paypal all Walmart account but that's about it.
Walmart said I was pre-approved if I wanted the card, and I decided that I did want it.  So they sent out via postal service.  I had not used it at all when this PayPal thing cropped up.  I have cancelled the card, and I am calling all to whom I have given my card so they know not to charge anything until they call me.

Walmart has done nothing wrong, and I am not being scammed by them.

I will give you root access to a DigitalOcean 512MB server for one month if you send me 0.008 BTC.
No verification or bullshit needed - just send me a PM.

And if  you delete the "droplet" ?? I think buy a vps in this mode is very unsafe .

its not only unsafe but how you know there is nothing on it that can be spying on you?  Keylogger etc....

Absolutely wrong! Being in DefaultTrust list means you are trustworthy. Only trustworthy users will be in DefaultTrust list. Roll Eyes

  ~~MZ~~

Nope thats just not how the trust system is designed I am afraid. The people on the trust list are "trust moderators", not trustworthy users. People are supposed to be put on DefaultTrust because the ratings they leave others are believed to be accurate, not because they are trustworthy.

yeah, Theymos, would you mind telling us the reason Tradefortress was on the default trust list? My speculation was that he had "disclosed security flaws in a responsible manner" as your feedback for him said, but was that the reason or was there another reason?

No. The damage someone in DefaultTrust can do is very limited, so a lot of trust isn't required. I've actually long been suspicious of TradeFortress because he was holding too much BTC, CoinLenders looked like a HYIP, and I've heard some suspicious rumors about him. But I thought that he was very unlikely to go totally crazy with trust. (And he didn't.)


He was on DefaultTrust because his trust list was good. There were only a few problems that ever resulted from his list, but he brought many good people into the trust network. He also seemed to understand the trust system more than anyone else, and he paid the most attention to trust activity across the trust system.

Of course  , you 're right .  There are some users are not trustworthy  , but they are in the defaultTrust list .  However I think  @theymos or another admin "should" check the list and remove some users and add a new users (But this is only my suggestion) .
Honestly there shouldn't be a default list in the first place due to how you really know these people?  how you know they can be trusted?  Ohh because they were here since the beginning?  Dont matter anyone can turn out to be a scammer sooner or later.

Cheers!

Its ok I understand the situation man, I been there and done that, that like I said I do post responses as I am very active on these forums.  I do tend to back people I think I know.  I would have backed up Vod if you had accused him.  I can take screen shots of other users who post on the political forums and have same similar stats for each category. as well and like I said I bought cards from him.  I bought two and if I can find the invoices he sent me for them, then I can pm you that info as well.  As for now im staying away from you man cause is like your on that Vendetta on who turned on you, even from the beginning you did it to KHW cause he left you a negative and so did others including me.   lol for now on im going to mind my own business.  Good luck with getting your money back.  

FYI I said I have no certs lol, difference buddy.

ok found the link where the guy had a bounty on him,  nor did i back him up here. Case closed now leave me alone and attack the one responsible.

A few days ago I received a Walmart card good for up to $400.  Got it registered, but don't think I will use it as I don't like making monthly payments.  Then I received a letter from PayPal that said I had asked for $188.11 credit to shop at Walmart.  Fortunately, they refused me.  I called one credit check company who said they would notify the other two and my account now has an "Alert" on it, and none will take any action of sending a credit report until they call me.

I called Walmart and cancelled the card.

I do my shopping on line and wonder if I should also notify anyone else I shop with, like Chewys for my cat food; Montgomery Ward; Penneys; Overstock.  And I pay my bills with my credit card by calling their 800 numbers - telephone, Montgomery Ward, other bills.

The conclusion:


In other words, Obama seems to believe, correctly, that Shiite extremism is every bit as dangerous as Sunni extremism—except that the latter is embodied and employed by non-state or sub-state outfits, like ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra, al Qaeda. That’s what concerns Obama--not extremism per se, but the extremism of regional actors that is not susceptible to the traditional instruments of statecraft. Regardless of how badly Iran acts, on Obama’s view, it is a nation-state, and therefore a rational actor with interests that can be engaged, deterred, contained, or if necessary, bombed. Organizations like ISIS, as Obama said in his UNGA speech, can only be met with force.

This White House is eager not to make the mistakes it believes the previous administration did, for instance, by disbanding the Iraqi army. This is why administration officials frequently speak of preserving Syrian “state institutions”—meaning of course not institutions tasked to collect garbage or keep on the lights, but security services, interior ministries, militaries. As Obama told Remnick, he wants to “work with functioning states to prevent extremists from emerging there.”

The problem is that Obama seems not to have wrestled with the question—what happens when extremists control state institutions? After all, most of the suffering humanity has endured throughout history has been inflicted not by non-state actors, but by states, like Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Cambodia, and China in the last century alone. What if Obama’s campaign against the non-state murders in ISIS is empowering a graver threat from the murderers who run a state in Tehran?




What a freaking mess.

One more comment......And then there is this which doesn't just give lie to "won the red line fight" but also discusses the elephant in the room which is Iran, who is also busy moving forward on nukes, thankful we removed the sanctions that were actually having an impact:

Here is the other...I have no idea who this person is.  I found the link in the comment section to Krauthammer's piece.  You can skip past his opening comments (the first 5 or so paragraphs) as it pertains to this discussion...it is his analysis on the past and present I am submitting for consideration:


http://amishmashpaddywhack.blogspot.com/2013/09/deja-vu-in-syria.html?m=1



In closing, I am currently favoring what no one is really discussing...and that is a formal three state solution for Iraq as well as butting out from deposing Assad.  I think there is a role for our military might,  I do not think it would be to our long term geo political strategic advantage to completely remove ourselves from the area, but but we need to  foster a more advantageous political solution or the military strikes will be indefinite (see both links above). AND I think we need to work faster and harder for real oil independence and to protect the homeland for real.

My reluctance to embrace Obama's plan is not because of "blind partisan hatred".  My reluctance is because (a) I'd like to not continue to repeat past mistakes and (b) I really have no firm idea what we are actually doing or why we are doing it, and worse I don't have confidence that Obama does either.  His own cabinet appears conflicted and in disarray and so does the collective messaging and the means.   And the harsh reality is Obama is not trustworthy even to his own promises.  He has said A LOT of things to get elected, and he is doing A LOT of things which are the exact opposite...and by that I mean just like Bush and often to a greater degree.  Congress, both parties, is politically in a position to be damned if they do and damned if they don't in terms of keeping their own jobs, so this whole situation just seems absent of grown ups. 


You asked the question "what if we just said no"...the implication being doing nothing, correct?   Does that mean literally nothing (military, intelligence, weapons, $$$, diplomacy) or do you mean just no air strikes?   And what would you suggest we do if/when we are attacked from a nation state or those working from base of operations in a nation state?  Or one our allies?   


Here are two pieces I read this morning, and I'd love to hear what some of you think of these opinions.  The first is Krauthammer:
