What would you do if you caught someone teaching a 5 year old how to give blowjobs?

Person goes to jail (as usual, ffs).

Perhaps you're indicating that this was legal in Florida until recently. Well, it's Florida, home of retired Repuglican pedophiles.

According to the CDC's findings, "total nutjobs" appear to be immune to the little-known heart condition, leaving experts puzzled.

The nutjobs are also immune to logic and words with more than three syllables. Sometimes they forget to breathe.

No. This is literally the fantasy of pedophile Christo-fascist GOP simps. It's why they want to require that rapists marry their children victims. It seems to work in Afghanistan and Pakistan, so why not the US? There is absolutely no humanity in the Republican party.

These white people you think are villains are simply trying to preserve their culture.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to ethnically disconnect so-called "white" people from so-called non-whites in the US. It's all one culture. CULTURE is not the word you want to use. You are arguing for ethnic DNA testing, so that the "white" descendent of Thomas Jefferson who's great great great... grandmother was black can be excluded from the DNA proven melanin deficient "white" assholes who think they're different. The fact is, everyone is somewhat mixed. This discussion at DAR usually descends into being racist about fewer and fewer people, until one ends up at Sub-Saharan Africa. All of the groups considered non-wite that are not Sub-Saraharan are excluded eventually from the usual "who is white" dialectic. It's REALLY FUCKING STUPID, not to mention MEAN to one's fellow man and in violation of the golden rule. If you don't like blacks, just say so. So-called "whites" cannot claim to have an exclusive 'culture' or 'ethnicity'. Eugenics failed in the early 20 century and won't return for reasonable people. That said, there are some who want to be pure Hebrews, or pure Japanese, or pure Native American, or whatever. But even in these groups there are exceptions for the relative who fucked someone of a different ethnicity.

Your arguments here depend entirely on: school board members who are black are assholes, when you know very well that assholes come in all colors, shapes, sizes and ages. And there are plenty of non-blacks on school boards who are exceptional assholes, that are tribal, that want taxpayer money to pay for charter schools, that want to require prayer and the 10 commandements in grade schools, that are literally the American ISIS or American Taliban.

It's obviously a mistake to respond to you. You'll forget comments like this one:

She went from earning 100k a year to being a multi-millionaire

The implication here is obvious - that she earned 3 million in some corrupt manner, which is not what happened. If you complete the sentence noting that she earned 3 million with 2 book deals, then you prove that there is NOTHING to discuss. And you can't bother to look up any of this. You're stupidly joining the anti-democratic bandwagon.

You'll also know that $150k is nothing for that kind of work. The assholes pushing this nothingburger GOP propaganda are making 10s of millions, sending it straight to their offshore acounts.(which were discovered a few years ago - lots of politicians on those leaked documents). Why aren't we concerned about those offshore accounts? Politicians also get $250k+ for lectures and advice. The Bill Clinton made millions after his presidency doing just that. Georgia's current congresspeople are hidiously corrupt. There are no flies on Abrams. Evidence for this is obviously the lame ass claim that a $150 payment from 'Dream Project Partners Inc.' (whatever the fuck hey are) is somehow a big deal. It's literally nothing. Contrast that with the $2 billion J Kushner received from Saudi Arabia as soon as he managed to magically get top level security clearance. He and Trump should be hanged for espionage. Americans should be outraged and protesting at their houses, throwing molotov cocktails. Anything to address the ongoing corruption on the Hill.

You are definitely getting stupider, exponentially in recent months. Go to an AA meeting ffs.

1) She's not and has never been in the US Congress

2) Abrams is facing a very expensive Republican misinformation campaign because they are terrified that any Democrat would unseat one of the corrupt corporate gimps in the Repuglican party.

3) Politicians earn money. This is how they put food on the table.

4) She wrote New York Times best seller books ‘Our Time Is Now’ and ‘Lead from the Outside’, which earned a couple million. Fox didn't tell you that because they didn't want your tiny head to explode.

5) Stop being an idiot.

It's a very good form of meditation. Improve the meditation technique and you'll sense the experience. For example, improve the breathing sequence and timing, to get an even rhythm of long sustained breaths. Calming music and incense helps some people, if your place is not normally quiet. Lay flat on the floor or on a 1/2 inch foam mat on the floor. Aim only for the calmness that results in the feeling of weightlessness. The brain will do the rest (if you want an 'astral projection'). Get plenty of exercise and do this when you are somewhat tired, especially at night or first thing in the morning. Good health and blood flow are essential. This for many is a basic form of meditation, rather than 'astral', but perfecting that tecnique is what's necessary for the out of body experience. Another group using this strategy refer to transcendental meditation, as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, though it was also a bit of a scam. The meditation scheme was very good however, and helped with the feeling of weightlessness.

You refer to the misuse of science. (Skewing the results does not fit a concensus where the scientific method is properly used.) One can write about those who abuse the scientific process, which happens all the time. platonic1 is saying that science is the problem, whereas those who are skewing the data are the problem. And to deal faulty scientific resaerch, only additional scientific research can solve those problems (not the opinions of platonic1). For example, JAMA and other medical journals require the publication of retractions, of which there are many.

Science is a fact-finding process ("the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment"). Self-affirmation is not science. It's thus not about personal opinion or the self. Science is about facts, not people. Perhaps you're thinking of social studies. I've responded to this post by platonic1 because this questioning of science, facts, knowledge, scholarship, scientific research and the rest of it is one of the most absurd and egregious assaults on humanity in the Republican arsenal of misinformation and disinformation propaganda. If you can get people to argue over facts (as is happening in recent years), you can get them to do anything, at the expense of the 99%. It's evil. And for those who don't want to believe in facts, they should also avoid hospitals, cars, airplanes, phones, and any other place or thing that exists because of science.

Good therefore that the scientist removes - as much as possible - any biases from the scientific method he/she uses. Mathematics cannot lie. And the corrobration of scientific evidence across a discipline and around the world is another way to confirm accuracy. What is extremely fallible is one's opinion, which is not related to science, or in some cases not related to facts.

No. This is a gross oversimplificaiton. Look at Republican developments in the past 40 years. They've led the way for the extreme income inequality now destroying the US.

No. Look at all of the bills they've tried to pass, and some they managed to pass in the past 2 years. They are obviouely the only ones continuously pushing for policies and projects that help the 99%, whereas Republicans have stopped Dems whereever possible, and to the point of getting bribes for Dems who will vote with Reps.

So bad that the republicans seem good again

Are you reading the news? McConnell's complaining that the only candidates for Rep posts are unelectable extremist assholes. That's what radical Republicanism has done, amd McConnell can thank himself and other Reps dating back to Reagan for those developments. The Republican party is only for the dumbest, most fascist, extremist assholes, which is more obvious each year.

I think Jewish merchants in Alexandria, Jerusalem, Damascus, and around Mediterranean provided opportunities for the sharing of ideas and literature before and during the Roman empire, and that Philo's approaches were known especially among Hebrew scholars. Philo and some others at the time addressed the moral significance of one's logos and ingenium (root of 'genius') because these were intermediaries between the divine and human, and were part of the soul. Applying a moral purpose to one's ingenium (to beget, to begin) in this way would foreshadow Christian claims that there were good and bad angels. One's logos and ingenium in this new hermeneutic had a moral dimention that could be used to control what was considered one's legitimate logos or ingenium, thereby potentially controlling information on religious terms. (Part of this is discussed very briefly in the book, 'Logodaedalus' (Pittsburgh, 2018)).

Good arguments about this (in agreement) are by Rudolph Bultman, summarised in his, 'Jesus Christ and mythology':

There are also very good books on the historical Jesus. I like Bultman's approaches as well as the assessments of the historical Jesus, as we can consider that there were various preachers tortured to death for heresy (sometimes against the Scribes and Pharisees) c. 1 c. BCE - 3 c. CE.

No. God has been Nature. There have been sky gods, but they've been attached to the natural order of the world. Christ and preachers like him at the time taught eastern religion, focusing in his case on Buddhism. Many of his quotations are copies of sayings of the Buddha (there are good books on it). The evangalists and other New Testament writers were of course Jewish scholars who grew up with the Talmud and Pentateuch and other Jewish resources. Thus the New Testament is a Jewish interpretation of Christ, albeit for a reformed Church. This is natural because the historical Jesus was supposedly a Palestinian Jew, living in an occupied (Roman) Palestine. Making matters worse, the Scribes and Pharisees created additional problems in Palestine, potentially inspiring Christ and others like him to take up preaching the popular "eastern religion" which was essentially Buddhism. Greek and Roman trade with Bactria (and Gandhara) in the previous 300 years influenced these new religious approaches in Palestine.

Which ironically was a perpetuation of the Abrahamic novelty of removing god from the world, which has precipiticated the Abrahamic notion in Genesis 1:28, where

God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.

And for 2600 years, men following Abrahamic religions have been subduing and thereby destroying the world, rather than respecting the world as our actual god. There is NOTHING for us that is not of this world.

Thanks for contributing the first comment. For what it's worth, much of what you write here is arguably the opposite. For example:

Every free speech platform becomes right wing relative to society because those in power are pushing [RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA]. With thier power they have pushed society to the far [RIGHT] relative to rationality. Where truth is allowed to be spoken and debated it wins.

The powerful use intersectionality to divide and conquer. They use CRT to subvert thier greatest rival. And they push [FASCISM] to normalize hedonism and bring back pedophilia. They can not be reasoned with, but the useful idiots can.

As far as scaring off users, my experience is that everyone uses insults but to [REPUBLICANS AND FASCISTS] it is far more emotional because they are used to echo chambers that only attack the right. The right is used to it being attacked.

Not only that, the [MAGATARDS HAVE] many walled gardens to run to where they are coddled and congratulated for repeating the party line. The [LEFT HAVE] far fewer places to go, and anywhere they go they encounter paid agitators.

Even if no users ever ran, they would eventually be converted and this website would be "right wing" anyway. The red pill is inevitable.

Thanks. This:

those are the posts my personal Karma wishes to read, while driving over my dogma for fresh road killings of personal biases, IMHO.

What gets me is that a lot of us are pissed off about late stage capitalism (if i may use a Marxist term to differentiate between today and the US 1950s) while there are a lot of people here who buy into the oversimplified narratives and lies of 4 decades of GOP propaganda for the deregulation that has led to this extreme income inequality that's fucking up our lives in the US. There's more to the explanation, but in a nutshell, that's my way of seeing our similar interests on Saidit, and my concern that the considered solutions (several kinds discussed here and at DAR periodically) would nonetheless benefit only the super rich. Working with the democratic system is rarely considered viable, even if it will be difficult. And this of course is why the anti-democratic rhetoric of the right sounds so good to many here.

Greeks had colonies around the Black Sea, which - especially along the east side - was essentially the territory of Scythian. To the west of theblack sea Greek colonies interracted with Scythians and "barbarians", which were Dacians, Thracians, Illyrians, Gauls, Celts, and other groups. Paul knew of these people because he was from Asia Minor (Turkey, Anatolia) and was well aware of the Black Sea trade. People were also trafficked across these colonies. All Greek colonies engaged of course with the Greek mainland, part of which was Asia Minor, even after Roman hegemony in that area. Paul's discussion of the Scythians and the 'barbarians' as two distinct groups is very interesting because it shows their interactions with Greek colonies and with trade c. 900 BCE - 200 BCE, though Paul wrote about them 263 years later, during the period of the Roman administration of the previous Greek colonies. Paul's 'mission' was work with others to convert these groups to Christianity. The ancient heritage of each group was rather different, and thus a challenge for Christain 'apostles' (270+, I think, though that was the intended number and may not have been the actual number). Very different strategies were necessary for the conversion of each group, a process that lasted hundreds of years, with major developments after the 'migrations' period (c. 5th C). To answer your question, I think it was more difficult to convert Scythians and former Scythians to Christianity, but not absolutely sure.
