they are having trouble posting during some times and not during others the user I know who it is effecting, doesn't care enough to report the issue, but I thought I'd give you a heads up that it is an issue since the update

the wall fell because Nixon went to China Vietnam and Korea had very little to do with the fall of the wall Vietnam in particular set America back in the Cold War they would have been in a far better position to turn Vietnam into.an eventual ally if they never fought a war against them the Soviets engaging in their own Vietnam in Afghanistan was a big reason they collapsed as quickly as they did chasing after falling dominoes was a bad strategy when either side did it

The Bible is full of metaphors that explain and teach valuable life lessons like the one's mentioned above for instance sometimes fiction is realer than non-fiction which is something religion leverages quite beautifully collections of good stories with common themes of great importance ftw

far wiser than I used to be as an atheist

I do you don't seem to understand that the national teams are paid based on the revenue generated by all the national teams and not based on the revenue generated by individual national teams it's called revenue sharing and it doesn't only happen on the league level, but the international level as well all of the male national teams generate far more revenue combined than all of the female national teams combined, at their respective World Cups and Olympics, and both are paid accordingly it's a revenue sharing conspiracy not a sexist conspiracy

some people never get passed the youthful rebellion stage my parents aren't religious, and neither was I growing up but I outgrew that

it's a metaphor

my parents never pushed that on me I used to be an atheist when I was young and stupid in fact

I already explained how they do be in denial to push your woke narrative if you want back to Sleepy Joe and his ridiculous woke presidency

I am saying the other national men's teams generate more revenue than the other national women's teams the men's world cup generates far more revenue than the women's world cup therefore the women world cup athletes don't get paid as much as the men's world cup athletes

if religion did die, which it won't there would still be plenty of pedophiles in the world assuming that pedophilia only exists because of religion is as asinine as it gets just because some religious people are pedophiles doesn't mean all pedophiles are religious or that pedophiles who are religious are pedophiles because of their religion

nope only weak minded cling to eradication of human nature as a sign of progress it will not be eradicated the strong minded harness human nature to achieve the best possible outcome the weak minded deny human nature and pretend doing so will result in utopia, when it really just results in a dystopia the strong minded believe that reality has constraints and that the people in charge need restraints to keep them from running amuck the weak minded think that reality has no constraints and if the right people are just in charge and given enough power then it will be heaven on earth and they won't abuse that power you are the weak minded

not looking at the other side of the ledger just looking at bad the Catholics have done and not looking at the bad that others have done to make Catholics look worse relative to everyone else than they really are

the men's teams generate more revenue than the women's teams just because one women's team generates more than one men's team and they happen to be of the same nationality does not mean there is as much revenue in general to pay that one women's team than there is to pay that one men's team not a fan of revenue sharing myself but that's why that is a thing it's not some sexist conspiracy it's a sports communism conspiracy

except you aren't there are infinitely more effective critics of religion than you who do not wish to eradicate religion wishing to control the beliefs of others makes you bad at the thing you most want to achieve

clearly you do care, hence why you want to eradicate religion Do you think Catholics care what you feel? no, because they aren't out to eradicate your beliefs the intolerance goes one way, and you are the intolerant one not them

eradicating religion leads to hundreds of millions dead supporting that is far dumber than believing in a useful "fairy tale" god is dead is a lament, not an exhalation Nietzsche saw it coming you do not have that level of foresight, clearly

your mind is a puddle of goo and you hate religion being anti-religion doesn't make you any smarter than the religious

so do non-religious institutions whoop dee doo the problem is the institutionalization not the religion

less people watch women's soccer in general more people watch the good men's teams than the good women's teams revenue sharing is a thing that's why the women get paid less the men get more because the other teams raise more revenue to share the women get less because the other teams raise less revenue to share

the players suck though so that makes it worse despite the flow level of competition matters

percentage of pedophiles isn't higher among catholics their pedophiles just get more media coverage

tunnel visioning on the bad and ignoring the good all religions have pedophiles in them and there are non religious pedophiles as well Catholicism deeply condems pedophilia the Catholics who happen to be pedophiles aren't pedophiles because they are Catholic

again, the pay is based on the revenue generated by all teams and the men generate more revenue than the women therefore the men get payed more than the women the reason the women get payed less, is because less people watch the women not sexism

not all authoritarian states interests are aligned they are not a monolith and the non-authoritarian states can exploit that to divide the authoritarian states against each other instead of against the non-authoritarian state that is what Nixon did when he went to China divide the Chinese against the Soviets instead of against America and it worked
