Was Fauci an "expert"? Daszak? They were "the top experts in the US", theoretically. And now we know for a fact that they just lied to everyone about everything. You believed their lies for years, and now you found another guy who said the same bullshit. YAY ROBO!!! FYI nothing that I posted there was "my opinion" at all, it's the opinion of US intelligence agencies now. I just predicted it a long time ago. And it's a fact that the Chinese made inspectors wait, it's a fact that they told them where they could look, etc. It was a "self-exoneration" team that did the initial inspection, now your expert is just looking at their findings 🤣 Kick rocks, idjit.

The Notre Dame Cathedral, a monument of the Dark Ages
blackbird replied to blackbird's topic in Religion & Politics
The topic here is about the dark history surrounding the Notre Dame Cathedral. The truth is when the Reformation began in parts of western Europe, Rome responded strongly and tried to eradicate any opposition (heretics). But Protestants were not the only people they tried to eradicate in history. quote Across many different regions of Eurasia and Africa, Jews, Muslims, and non-Orthodox Christians have lived under Orthodox Christian rule; Christians, Jews, Hindus, and Zoroastrians have lived under Muslim rule; Christians and Muslims have lived under Buddhist and Hindu rule; and Jews and Muslims have lived under Coptic Christian rule, among other examples. Only in the key Western European polities that I examine in my article did the entire population, across numerous neighboring countries and societies, publicly and nominally adhere to a single religion and sect, namely, the Roman Catholic Church. This was the result of the eradication of Jews, Muslims, and other non-Christians over several centuries. Moreover, four of these polities, namely, England, France, Portugal, and Spain, later became the greatest Western powers. They shaped the rest of the world through their colonial empires. The momentous and exceptional religious demographic transformation in their history has global consequences. The Americas and the Oceania became the most Christian continents on earth, which is a direct consequence of the late medieval story I tell in my article. If Jews and Muslims of England, France, Portugal, and Spain were not completely eradicated, we could have had very sizeable Jewish and Muslim populations among the Western Europeans who settled the Americas and Oceania. The virulent backlash against immigration and religious diversity in Western European countries that we observe at present also has to do with what I explain in my article. These European countries achieved an unprecedented level of religious demographic homogeneity at least five centuries ago if not earlier, and therefore the appearance of non-Christian people and public manifestations of their non-Christian cultures and religions in Western Europe come as an extraordinary shock that they have difficulty dealing with. Against this historical background, it is somewhat unsurprising to me that it is in this corner of the world that there have been many attempts to ban religious headscarves, minarets, call to the prayers, circumcision of boys, and ritual animal slaughter. You had the church, the mosque, the synagogue, and various temples in close proximity in places like Egypt, Lebanon, India, and Russia for centuries if not millennia, so they have a good idea of what the coexistence of different religious customs entails, but that is not the case for much of Western Europe until the recent waves of migration, precisely because historic communities of Jews and Muslims were completely eradicated in the late medieval period. unquote How Medieval Ethnoreligious Cleansing Shaped Western Europe | The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs -

What about it? Charlie Kirk started (poorly) dog whistling antisemitic tropes. That's really exciting for some of his fan base who also think that way. So of course those motivated by that particular flavor of hate in the MAGA hate cocktail are going to spread such conspiracy theories. Not all MAGA believe the same conspiracy theories, but they dame sure are all wildly susceptible to conspiracy thinking.

Projecting much? Care to respond to the content? I will answer that for you. No. You won't respond to it because you never respond to substance. -
What Is Climate Change?
robosmith replied to Deluge's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
No, it means that weather is weather until the trend is established by a 30+ years long accumulation of the predominate conditions. Only then is it climate. Do you understand now? -

Because we don’t want to spare the pilots and maintenance personnel, it’s almost 90 people dedicated to that dog and pony show, mostly in highly specialized trades that already have some of the worst shortages in CAF RCAF doesn’t want to spare the people and resources for the snowbirds, pilots don’t want to volunteer for the snowbirds. This whole ‘taking a break for the next 10 years or so’ gambit is just a polite way of canceling them without officially canceling them. Oh and I should mention SUB ANNOUNCEMENT IS JUST DAYS AWAY! SO MANY YEARS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!!! And with it a flood of transformative industrial economic offset benefits across the country in numerous industries coast to coast to coast.

Well think of another. He will impose 100% tariffs on any country that charges a digital service tax, Who do these foreigners think they are charging tax on American companies? Bonnie will tell them what they can and can't tax or it's not fair!

The Notre Dame Cathedral, a monument of the Dark Ages
SpankyMcFarland replied to blackbird's topic in Religion & Politics
As an exercise why don’t you list the many wrongs committed by Protestants in Ireland? It would be good for you to do that both as a Christian and as a human being. Shouldn’t every person start with the sins on their side? Yes, the RC church was awful but of course it was not alone in its wrongdoing. That’s what you need to get into your head. -
If offices are added to make it more like 10 Downing Street I would want to see something in keeping with the original building in style and scale - actually, as close as possible to the original building, not some “monstrous carbuncle on the face of an elegant and much-loved friend” as our head of state described a proposed extension to the National Gallery in the UK. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2022/sep/28/carbuncles-king-charles-iii-royal-familys-supertroll-architecture

The Notre Dame Cathedral, a monument of the Dark Ages
blackbird replied to blackbird's topic in Religion & Politics
I never said the "we good they bad" was the purpose of talking about the history. You still hold the belief that the past should be ignored or not believed I guess if it does not fit in with your religious or cultural background you grew up in. I am not laying the blame on anyone for what happened in the past. We can't control what happened in history. But perhaps we can learn something about it and not go around totally ignorant. But I do think that most people know nothing about history of the RC church. They have a very bright naive history of something that was really dark and barbarian compared with the way things are today. Today we have lots of freedom of religion, speech, beliefs, and association which never existed for most of the past 2,000 years since Christianity began. Today is definitely not how life was in the past. Perhaps it might help to understand the world was not the way we were told it was back in history by many people and groups. Whether it has much to do with what one believes today regarding religious matters, I don't know. That is not the point. The point is to uphold the truth. Truth matters and if that helps someone, all the better. It sort of like growing up in Germany today and not being told one's ancestors were involved in or worked for the Third Reich or Naziism and their Holocaust of the six million Jews of Europe and various atrocities. Should one know about the real history? Of course. Perhaps then these things can be avoided in the future. So yes there is a dark history associated with the Notre Dame Cathedral. -
Carney says MPs are "just useful for votes"
SpankyMcFarland replied to CdnFox's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
You have a compulsion to continue this debate that wasn’t yours to start with. Is that tribal loyalty or perhaps a guilty conscience? Can you still hear that sound? Really? Just to reiterate, sounds can be represented visually. This is not exactly breaking news and it certainly should not be to any musician. -

So you want people to just go away, now you are just being silly. Yes you do just like you're doing now. Factually the word just is just an excuse to give yourself just cause for an argument. -

I think it matters. You say it doesn't matter. So why do you bother replying? And I’m a little surprised by your response there as a musician - as a non-musician I know that sounds can be analyzed and presented visually. My bird app does this all the time. -

Now you're just sounding crazy. Of course I cant provide any evidence, it's aural. Just like you can't provide any evidence or just cause that it did not just exist.
