betsy

I didn't give that particular article. Notice the difference with the link? This is what I gave: https://www.child-soldiers.org/international-standards My link did say, MILITARY!

Terrorists fall under the category of "unlawful combatants." http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/U/UnlawfulCombatant.aspx

Even if we look at him under the definition of a child soldier - at the time he was caught, he wasn't. That's the issue - the time he was caught doing a crime!

I didn't make it up. See, you don't know what you're arguing about: https://www.child-soldiers.org/international-standards Child soldiers that don't wear uniforms - like terrorists - don't meet the definition.

He was 15 when he was captured! He wasn't 10.

I'm also saying the Liberals are biased!

Stop that lie that the Libs want to spread around. He's not a child soldier! He doesn't fall into the category since he's not really a "soldier" under the definition. Furthermore, he's 15 years old - nearly 16. 15 years is the minimum age-requirement for a child soldier under Article 38. He was nothing more than a minor thug. Minors who commit horrendous crimes are sometimes tried as adults. He chose to be there - he could've gone to proper authorities if he didn't like what his parents want him to do. A lot of Canadian kids alert their teachers or other people when they're getting abused at home. Stop making excuses!

Even if he never pays the full amount of $134 million - at least, 10 million will help somehow.

A lot of them do. If given the choice between working in sweat shops (which means food in their tummies), or hunger.....what do you think they'll choose? If it will help you survive starvation - wouldn't you volunteer? The problem with bleedin' hearts - they try to equate their charmed lives with those that are barely surviving. Their priorities aren't quite the same as yours!

Ontario court denies to freeze Khadr's assets. Says, no evidence that Khadr is trying to hide assets. No surprise there. The Lib wagons are circling around Khadr.

Earth is around 5 billion? Universe, around 13 or so?

I bet.....he's among those who naively thinks, "as long as we don't offend them, they'll leave us alone." This "breed of Canadians" we debate with, will be raising the white flag at the drop of a hat. That's their game plan. Mind you....when the nation is high on marijuana........will they even give a darn?

Anachronisms, figures of speech - some of which have been shown to be literal. If it isn't really an issue whether earth is young or not (as an example)......unless they really affect the issue or the message being imparted, do they really matter that much? Here is a short excerpt from one interesting long article: https://faithandselfdefense.com/2014/01/04/convince-me-theres-a-god-archaeology-7/ https://www.thoughtco.com/archaeological-evidence-abraham-in-the-bible-116875

This thread is meant to be about alleged contradictions in the Bible. But you're nitpicking about my cross-posting arguments. That's soooo pathetic. That some arguments from another thread about the Bible are re-posted sometimes, cannot be helped if the said arguments are rebutting a given contradiction. Generally speaking, where does it say that you can only use an argument in one issue, alone? That's like saying I can't use supply-and-demand as an argument to a subject about entrepreneurship, if I'd already used it in another subject like, a sagging economy. Never heard of such thing. If the argument is relevant, and it fits.......of course it can be used again. Really James, you're starting to come across as a real whiner.

If there is collusion - the investigative boards will definitely inform the public about it. Anything being said about collusion right now, is merely based on the fact that there are elements out there, too, that has been actively trying to derail the presidency. To say that there is collusion is pure assumption. I don't wanna split hair on mere assumption.

Yes, I've been following. If someone says they've got dirt on your political opponent, who wouldn't want to hear about it? You think Hillary wouldn't have done the same thing? I've yet to have that officially confirmed. That's the narrative that the anti-Trump media wants to stoke, and that the anti-Trumps want to latch on. Change his story? Depends on the context of his statements. However, the fact that he released the string of email conversation, backs his story! Collusion is defined as cooperating or an agreement for an illegal purpose. Unless there's any convictions that what they did was illegal, you can't just say it's collusion! That isn't reality. That would be "wishful thinking," or "jumping the gun."

Where? What evidence?

Your question is moot. http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/soldiers-awarded-us-134-million-in-suit-against-omar-khadr-1.2450792

How many wrongfully convicted innocent people (due to negligent investigation) spent years - some decades - behind bars before being released, had ever received 10 million in compensation? Trudeau doesn't want to bring up the past of Khadr. Because Khadr is guilty! The USA made a big mistake in handing Khadr over to the Canadian government. Mind you, it wasn't a mistake since it was Obama who did it.

https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2017/07/10/us-soldiers-widow-to-ask-canada-to-freeze-omar-khadrs-assets.html Too late. This is what the Liberals shielded Khadr from - expediting his reward paid asap, so that the widow will never get a dime. The money's now hidden. Good luck finding and following that money.

The oft asked questions about the Bible, which this thread will answer: Is the God of the Bible, the Creator? Is the Bible, reliable? Can we trust the Bible? Is it truly God-inspired? How do you know it came from God? I had given the first argument (proof) - the Creator has intimate knowledge of His creation, along with evidences to support that claim. (Refer to posts #606 and 607) Here's the next proof: MATHEMATICAL PROBABILITY: ORDER OF CREATION The order of creation has been described accurately by Moses, author of the Book of Genesis. He made 13 claims, as having been accomplished in the order given: 1. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (v.1). 2. "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep" (v.2). 3. "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters" (v.2). 4. "And God said, Let there be light ... and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night" (vv. 3-5). 5. "And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament" (v. 7). 6. "And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place" (v. 9). 7. "And let the dry land appear" (v.9). 8. "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind" (v. 11). 9. "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years... " (vv. 14-18). 10. "And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind" (v. 21). 11. "And every winged fowl after his kind" (v. 21). 12. "And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing and beast of the earth after his kind" (v. 24). 13. "So God created man in his own image" (v. 27). The following is a very long article. For in-depth SCIENTIFIC explanation to each claim, and a very, very detailed explanation of mathematical probability: Science Speaks, Peter W. Stoner, Chapter 1, Changes in Science Be reminded that we're talking about just the Book of Genesis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Stoner

Check out all the bibles you can find, and find the given verses on this thread. Let me know which Bible version doesn't carry any of them.

Well, one of our loony conspiracy theory posters just attacked me personally in Compensating Khadr.

Yeah....it seemed to have improved a great deal here with lightening up on moderation. However, when someone starts doing personal attacks, moderation would be helpful, otherwise the board will spiral downhill. To have a sense that there is still moderation is helpful. The other forum posts a "warning sign" in the thread, including what the warning is all about (personal attack, thread drift, etc.) To persist will earn a private message from the mod, along with a warning to stop.
