- As I have stated

ffs... someone give him an enema already; perhaps his severe case of self-importance can be, uh... evacuated.

- the officers didn't behave irresponsibly given the data they had at the time.

Unbelievable. Perhaps in China 10 shots to the back of an unarmed man is responsible police action.

Don't expect to see a pic of 1Nut standing in front of a tank in Tiananmen Square... he's the guy busy making excuses for the tank crew.

- Where the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm,

This is where our Psychic Wannabe Know-it All visa holder tells us that he KNOWS that the executed victim posed a threat of serious harm... to anyone.

This is what, in the US Courts anyway, we call, 'a fact not in evidence'.

But then, evidence and analysis, not to mention intelligence or prudence, are not China Security Services next DNA Donor's strong points.

What a joke.

- inappropriate behavior.

Ah, finally. A good reason to put 10 bullets in his back. Thanks!

- If Pretti did not have a gun he'd be alive

We don't know that for sure. What we do know for sure is that Renee Good didn't have a gun, and she's dead.

Nick Fuentes Says Alex Pretti Was A 'Race Traitor'

DJT enjoyed his dinner with Fuentes; brought him into the mainstream.

You feel bad about this race traitor.
That's what they are. You feel bad about
this lesbian poet and Alex Pretty, the
male nurse. You feel sorry for these
race traders that laid down their life
in defense of this scheme. You can't
plead ignorance. They're in their late
30s. Renee Good was 38. This this guy
was 37. What is the excuse?
These are not college kids that got
misguided. These are not college kids
that don't know any better. These are
full-g grown adults. We are in the
postcoavid era. We are thoroughly in the
Trump era. If you don't get it at this
point, you're irredeemable. If you're
out there throwing yourself in front of
ICE to die for these dirt bags,
let him. Let him. One less in
the world. one less trader in the world.
That's what I say.
There's no moral equivalency. People
say, "Oh, well, you know, they're a US
citizen and all this kind of stuff."
Well, you know, they're they're not
acting like citizens.

- N. Fuentes from the vid

- This wasn't a Good Samaritan moment.

It most certainly was.

- No...you don't have it right.

You have NO sense of humor at all.

We could obviously include no sense all. Period.

- But if you play with matches, sometimes you get burned.

When you never risk, you are never rewarded.

When's the last time you were at a protest?

Jesus was a liberal.

The Jews that JC told the story of the Good Samaritan to considered Samaritans to be the scum of the earth.

In his story, fellow Jews passed the wounded Jew by, while the Samaritan saved him and paid for his recovery.

The Jews hearing the story were shocked and upset at JC's progressive attitude towards people they thought beneath them.

You are much like those conservative Jews, BJ.

- MLK was far closer to Jesus than modern liberals are now.

Modern liberals are far closer to MLK on social issues than you ever were or ever will be, unfortunately.

You follow the World's Greatest Liar, not the Greatest Truthteller.

Well, remember all those things JC said about gays and trans and abortions and border security... wait, he never mentioned any of that.

But don't remember all the things he said about loving one another, taking care of the poor, the hungry, those in prison, immigrants, and strangers.

He also mentioned that his Dad was not running a Meritocracy; that no one is perfect.

- too many rich people

JC was asked about how a person could be good. He said why ask me about being good? There is only one who is good.

When asked again he said, well, if you want to perfect, sell all you own, give to the poor, and follow me.

The rich young man walked away.

Their usual excuse is nearly impossibly lame, we've heard it a million times. It goes, that's fine for the individual, but not for the Gov.

Which is a total non sequitur; in a Gov of, by, and for the People, if we want to combine our resources to get more efficient outcomes, we can do so.

We do it for roads and bridges, sidewalks and libraries, EMT, Police, Fire, lots of things, which can and should include taking care of ourselves and our neighbors.

I've yet to have one of them tell me where JC or anyone else says we can't.

- which he ain't

Well, I'm glad we finally cleared that up... oh, wait:

#129

That's just silly.

You can do better.

But here's the standard answer anyway:

#131

You are just babbling nonsense again.... and I'm not going to write out several paragraphs when your question is easily answered with the standard facts... something even AI knows, rofl.

I assure you, no Jews were hurt in the making of this wine.

#132

You aren't normally this incoherent; making stuff up to fit your whine.

When's the last time you read the NT?

Which Oxford and Stanford professors did you study under?

You don't know enough to have an intelligent discussion on this, Twoofers.

Wine was much safer and healthier to drink than most water in those days, period.

also, for your 'tic-toc' non-argument:

btw... The Bronze Age (c. 3300-1200 BCE)

You are making yourself the fool here.

That may be what TH is doing tonight... killing off pathogens &)

- Giving wine to an alcoholic

A scenario you made up, then destroyed... what's that called? Oh, yeah, a Strawman.

- I didn't make up the Lazarus story. Some bronze era peasants did.

- the christian myths are founded on the bronze age myths I thought a scholar like yourself would be aware of that.

White man speak with forked tongue.

You should at least be honest, even when you are talking out of your posterior.

What does it say about lying... or supporting The World's Greatest Liar?

#168 | Posted by jpw

It's America, Bud; everyone gets to express their opinion... although some like to berate others while thinking that only their opinions are valid.

I believe what I say because I've studied the subject thoroughly; my links are generally to Oxford scholars and such... but I don't demean people who happen to hold a different view as some do.

And I didn't post the first religious reference on the thread... I just corrected it.

I did post about rwing MAGA hero and Trump dinner partner Nick Fuentes though, perhaps you'll like that better.

#175

It's considered to be a moral, ethical, and or spiritual obligation to care for, protect, and ensure the well-being of others.*

(* Not Valid in MAGA bibles, obviously)

#178

I understand He was invited to make an appearance on a Star Trek episode, but the Actors Guild nixed it.

- Never said otherwise.

- Corky derails another thread trying to convince himself of the veracity of his favorite Bronze Age goat herder myths...
#168

Sounds like you think your opinions are facts, and other people's opinions are, 'myths'. And I didn't derail anything.

- The word is "assist".

The word is rwing white nationalist MAGAnite, who wants to put limits on God's love for others that he supposed to emulate to the best of his abilities.

It's the same old rwing nonsense about how it's ok for individuals to help others, but not for a nation that loves to call itself a 'Christian Nation' to do so.

Which is a lame excuse for doing little or nothing.

We pool our money for a lot of things in the Gov because it's more efficient and effective... and you can't show me where that is antithical to bible teaching.

It's just a lie that Trumpers tell themselves to absolve themselves from any responsibility to act in kindness and love toward neighbors and immigrants alike.

#195

Thanks for confirming all I said with a non-retort.

JC showed the Jews what true moral obligations his followers have to others in the GS story; the accursed by Jews Samaritan not only saved the wounded Jews life and took him to shelter, but also paid his room, board, and medical bills.

That's not just shoveling snow, mister.

But truly, I hate banging on you because you obviously don't have the faculties to punch back with anything but weak sauce.

OK Back on Topic:

Trump's favorite Dinner Partner has more to day today about ICE:

Nick Fuentes Says ICE Must Become 'More Radical And More Extreme'

to say.... sheesh, who writes this stuff!

Ecuador says ICE agent tried to enter consulate in Minneapolis

- Sounds like you're operating on at least a few assumptions.

Commentary in lieu of argument... is rather sad. Some atheists like to call whatever they disagree with, 'myth'. Apparently because it's easier than making an actual argument, of which they have few to none.

Perhaps that's like the 'myth' that in the last century 3 atheists murdered millions of people, mostly their own, the largest such event in all of history.

So much for their superiority complex.

They really haven't got a lot of room to talk about some superior position that makes anything else into myth.

It's really the old, obnoxious self-aggrandizing attitude of the then called, 'New Atheists', which pretty much led to their being shunned by the same scientists they claimed to represent.

- Corky who has to defend Christianity at all costs

Retorting fake news is what we do around here... perhaps you haven't noticed.

AT any rate, Back on Topic...

"US agents involved in latest Minneapolis shooting put on leave, media reports say"

#206

Thanks for proving my point about your cognitive incapacities; that was a total waste of space mishmash of nothing and nothing.

The point of the story was not about what the Samaritan was or was not required to do; the point was that the people that the Jews considered scum were better people than the Jews who condemned them.

Or at least capable of better behavior towards others.

I need to killfile you, BJ; I feel bad taking advantage of what appears be your obvious onset senility.

But wait... as I recall, you've always been this way. Visitor, but with a Trump bible.

#207

A very astute point actually; the Samaritan was more likely to be with God in the New Creation of a combined Heaven and Earth that JC preached than were those hypocritical Jews.

Which is another thing JC's point was about; their hypocrisy in claiming to be pious when they passed by their brother without aiding him on the road, and one of the people they called scum did not.

You get it much better than BJ does.

#210

No wonder China let you leave. They're pretty smart over there, mostly.

And your lazy 'thinking', if one could call it that, is laughable.

Not to mention that your 'facts' are Dead Wrong.

Even AI knows this:

- Jesus wasn't saying Samaritans were better than Jews.

This is what I mean by scarily dense people.

JC was saying EXACTLY THAT the Samaritan (singular, btw) in this example case he gave, BEHAVED much Better than did the hypocrite Jews who passed their own brother Jew by!

Is this thing even on?!

#217

You apparently don't read any scholars either.

#216

He appears to be on about a CA Fraud Case which he wants to spin.

One where gets the figures completely backasswards, as shown at the link in #213.

#220

That's SO boring... Yawn.

Hey, look, anyone can do that!

You just don't like the Retorts you get to your conceited, supposedly superior worldview, where everyone else's worldview is a, 'myth'.

Perhaps you should do a study on other people's worldviews... naw. Never mind.

#223

Still not an argument... not even a denial. More like a bending over.
