You think draft-dodging donald is the answer or the problem?
Chicken donald will end up being worse than dubya.
Hillbill doesn't seem much better.
Anyone voting for the libertarian party?
I voted for Gary Johnson in the first election I could participate in, but I was young and naive then, coming fresh off the (modern) liberal hoopla boat, still harboring enthusiasm for the impractical. This time, I'm still rather agorist, but I came to see that maybe I can get that, but I have to work in baby steps getting there, and Trump has a greater-than-decent chance, more than most anyone else as evidenced by his effecting so far in American politics and society, at being a great transitional leader towards this aim of mine (freedom). |

Well, God does exists
We did not existed by accident nor did everything popped out from nowhere since nowhere is the vastness of the reality above and beyond making it too much to be impossible to come from nothing. Billions of years in the past and billions more to come came from the pop up menu? If that is true, your God can't excist since it had to come from somewhere. And if he didn't, then something can come from nothing. It seems to me that nothing can't really be nothing without something else, relativistically speaking. And if there was only nothing, then that nothing is actually everything. Besides, the whole idea of "nothing" has to do with the physics of this universe, which may be completely and absolutely a unit unto itself. I mean, if something outside the universe were recognizable by the universe, wouldn't it really be part of the universe? God made the universe. He exists in His own realms that have nothing to do with the physics of our universe, except that He makes them to. This means that God can have always been. He has always existed. He had no beginning, and will have no end. The eternalness of God has nothing to do with this universe. Things like beginning and end don't apply to Him. He is from the outside, and except that He allows it, we can't understand anything about Him because of how extremely different "extra-universal" things are from the universe.  I bet He can party That's kinda what it is all about. When you are as powerful as He is, party takes on a whole new meaning. The thing is, parties aren't any fun if you are alone. And being as great as He is, He needs many people to party with. That's why He made you. Don't turn Him down in His offer... fun for you and He at the big eternal party with billions (trillions?) of others. But if you DO turn Him down, no big deal. There are plenty of others who accept. Well, you never mentioned that before. If there's plenty of weed, tequila, young willing pussy and pizza I'm all for it. We don't know what it will be like. It will be a New Heavens and a New Earth. This means a new universe, with new physics, although it seems that some of the old physics will be incorporated into the new. Because of this, we don't know what kind of fun will be there, what kind of glory, what kind of joy. We have the promise of God that it will include glory and joy for us all. With a change in the physics, there will also be a change in the laws. I am guessing about this, but some of the things that we like in this life that are wrong, may be incorporated into the next life as good things. God is all powerful, and He has His ways and methods of doing things. He loves us all, but especially those who love Him. I'd love him forever if he could deliver me an 18 year old college girl with big tits. She doesn't even have to be pretty. I still have my lunch bag in the kitchen. Oh, if she could bring some purple kush and jose cuervo with her that'd be great. You didn't say, "if He would." And He can and could. So, love Him forever. I have no proof that he "could". When she shows up at my door we'll talk again. She's at the party Can't you hear the music? |

Surprising. Had these floods happened 30 years ago, then the damages would have been understandable. But how something like this can happen in the 21st century? The technology has advanced so much, and still the French authorities were not able to predict the impending floods and take the necessary mitigation measures?
What has technology got to do with the climate? the 21st century has seen far more violent swings in climate than the 20th century - lots of rain coming down in a short time, alternating with drought. Nothing technology can do about excessive rain... The claim in the second sentence irks me. The article JUST said the last time Paris had a rain like that was 35 years ago (in the 20th century).  |

.....Silverstein funds could be all over the place, but simply not in his name. And, what better way for the top insurance people in those insurance companies to get the money from their companies into their personal control, than by paying Silverstein out of the company funds, and then suddenly becoming trustee of the trusts that Silverstein was formerly trustee of, a trust that owned, say, a few million in property here and there. And each of the other insurance guys did the same.
I mean, this is all speculation....
Bah. Yah, you are using "speculation" to malign individuals and assert they are responsible for 3000 murders. Because, yeah. The "Evil Jew" theory of causation. "Must be a Jew, so must be evil, so must be the cause of the 911 atrocity." Only a true cunt would dream of saying such a thing. All the Jews in my life are really, absurdly good people that I'm lucky to have, FWIW |

I hate it because religion takes advantage of the ignorant.
I hate it because religion turns good people into racist.
I hate it because religion justifies doing evil things to people.
I hate it because religion is used to make decent, upstanding citizens into murderers.
Religion is and has always been the root of all evil. it should be banned.
The world should commit itself to educating the masses, exposing the fraudsters and imprisoning the scumbags profiting from the gullible.
Oh lord hear my pleas and strike down the proselytizing thieves and charlatans that have for so many years brought pain and suffering to the world.
Amen... 😈
These are exactly the thing that the religion of science theory often does. For example, Big Bang Theory is not true, but even if it were, there is no way under the sun to ever prove that it is true. But NASA and all kinds of other scientists say that Big Bang is true and real. And they often say it without any question at all. The science religion is the worst of all. Friend, what is the definition of THEORY? Do you know the meaning of 'axiom' and 'dogma' ? Wow! The more I read the definitions that you prompted me to look up, the more I see that modern science is a relgion... and is becoming more of a religion everyday. Thanks for suggesting. For your reading enjoyment. Definitions from Dictiouary.com at http://www.dictionary.com/. theory
[thee-uh-ree, theer-ee]
noun, plural theories.
1. a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena:
Einstein's theory of relativity.
Synonyms: principle, law, doctrine.
2. a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural and subject to experimentation, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.
Synonyms: idea, notion hypothesis, postulate.
Antonyms: practice, verification, corroboration, substantiation.
3. Mathematics. a body of principles, theorems, or the like, belonging to one subject:
number theory.
4. the branch of a science or art that deals with its principles or methods, as distinguished from its practice:
music theory.
5. a particular conception or view of something to be done or of the method of doing it; a system of rules or principles:
conflicting theories of how children best learn to read.
6. contemplation or speculation:
the theory that there is life on other planets.
7. guess or conjecture:
My theory is that he never stops to think words have consequences.
Idioms
8. in theory, ideally; hypothetically:
In theory, mapping the human genome may lead to thousands of cures. axiom
[ak-see-uh m]
noun
1. a self-evident truth that requires no proof.
2. a universally accepted principle or rule.
3. Logic, Mathematics. a proposition that is assumed without proof for the sake of studying the consequences that follow from it. dogma
[dawg-muh, dog-]
noun, plural dogmas or (Rare) dogmata [dawg-muh-tuh]
1. an official system of principles or tenets concerning faith, morals, behavior, etc., as of a church.
Synonyms: doctrine, teachings, set of beliefs, philosophy.
2. a specific tenet or doctrine authoritatively laid down, as by a church: the dogma of the Assumption;
the recently defined dogma of papal infallibility.
Synonyms: tenet, canon, law.
3. prescribed doctrine proclaimed as unquestionably true by a particular group:
the difficulty of resisting political dogma.
4. a settled or established opinion, belief, or principle:
the classic dogma of objectivity in scientific observation.
Synonyms: conviction, certainty. So science theory is a "group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that ... is still conjectural and subject to experimentation," but is really, "contemplation or speculation, or guess or conjecture." And Newton's Laws are axioms - self evident truths that require no proof, and are universally accepted principles or rules. And since the science community accepts science theory as fact rather than Newtonian axioms, the science theory has become dogma of the science religion. Thanks again. This should make it easier for all of us to see that science has basically become a religion for all of us non-scientific, lay people, who have become believers in it. EDIT: Looks like the real reason atheists hate religion is, they just can't get away from it. And the harder they try, the closer to religion they get.   |

trump is more popular among the british than cameron. he has the courage to say aloud what the ordinary man in the street is thinking.
Please "do some research" on Trump. He is a trust fund kid who was building in New York during the "mob era" without interference somehow hmmmm lol, and used bankruptcy laws Even if he was good with the mob, you have to consider that the mob owns a lot of different enterprises now, and those stand to gain if the people are richer. |

"What am I?" is a wrong question. The right question is "What am I not?".
If we were defined by what we are not, the possibilities would be infinte. It is easier to define what we are. What if we're infinite? |

200 Stranded Marines Needed A Plane Ride Home, Here's How Donald Trump RespondedWhen Corporal Ryan Stickney and 200 of his fellow Marines prepared to return to their families after Operation Desert Storm in 1991, a logistics error forced them to turn to a surprising source for a ride home: Donald J. Trump. Today, Stickney would like to say "thank you." Stickney, was a squad leader in a TOW company of a Marine reserve unit based in Miami, FL and spent approximately six months in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War between 1990 and 1991. Upon his unit’s return to the United States, the former Marine says the group spent several weeks decompressing at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina before heading back to Miami. Stickney recalls being told that a mistake had been made within the logistics unit and that an aircraft wasn’t available to take the Marines home on their scheduled departure date. This—according to Stickney—is where Donald Trump comes in. "The way the story was told to us was that Mr. Trump found out about it and sent the airline down to take care of us. And that’s all we knew….I remember asking 'Who is Donald Trump?' I truly didn't know anything about him," the former Marine said. Corporal Stickney snapped a photo to remember the day by: The Trump campaign has confirmed to Hannity.com that Mr. Trump did indeed send his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami, Florida to transport over 200 Gulf War Marines back home. No further details were provided. The Marine says he and his family are—to this day—grateful for Trump’s kind gesture. "It may not seem like much to most people, but it was very important to a bunch of jar heads and more importantly their families waiting for them on the hot tarmac." Stickney says that his father—a Korean War veteran and former Eastern Airlines captain—claimed to have never seen a 727 turn around and refuel so quickly. His father was so appreciative of Mr. Trump's help; he said he would fly for Trump for free to thank him for what he did. Stickney says that in his 28 years of public service, he has yet to see this kind of support for the troops from any of the other candidates running for president: "I have not seen a Clinton or Sanders plane, or anything else for that matter, sent to support the troops." http://m.hannity.com/articles/hanpr-election-493995/200-stranded-marines-needed-a-plane-14727522/Hmm... http://www.snopes.com/trump-tower-air/Hmm...

I emailed Snopes letting them know they should reopen their article considering this info and amend it to make it less misleading, encourage y'all to do the same. I wonder if a false story was sent to Snopes on purpose. It's a waste of time... They know what they are doing. lol they replied to me and updated the page... They know what they're doing. Can you find a page regarding that specific story and being true on snopes? It's that same Tower Air page... I emailed them asking why they left out the bit from Hannity: "The Trump campaign has confirmed to Hannity.com that Mr. Trump did indeed send his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami, Florida to transport over 200 Gulf War Marines back home. No further details were provided." Let's see... |

Would anyone like to help manage/escrow something I'm trying to do on here? It's a lot simpler if I send you a pm of what I'm trying to do, so if you are interested, I'll send you the OP text to see if you would be interested rather than me trying to explain it here... it's gambling related
For Phish pham, anything Edit: Luigi1111, thanks pham  |
