Why don’t you want to talk about captain William Morgan? Are you afraid of an honest conversation about him?

Oh, the bubble of moronity I have stumbled upon; woe is the hellish furnace that sinches the toes in the very sandals I wear.

However, until now, I had never heard of captain William Morgan. Indeed, when reading his name in your post, I thought it had something to do with rum.

So, I gazed upon the wiki page. And he was going to publish an anti-Masonic book and then disappeared.

This all in the early 19th century.
A fun fact for a pub quiz, but I see no relevance to anything happening today.

Am I missing something? Were aliens involved? Masonic aliens?

Muslims claim that in order to understand the Quran the Hadiths must also be consulted and read. Here is what it says:

It was reported that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: ‘You (i.e. Muslims) will fight against the Jews and you will gain victory over them. The stones will (betray them) sa ...[text shortened]... llah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.’ 1 This Hadith was reported by Al-Bukhari.

If you know so much about the hadiths, you will also know that the 4 Sunni Islamic schools adhere to different hadiths as does Shia Islam.
And Al Bukhari is not amongst the 4 Shia hadiths.

Sura 2:62 is very clear on the relationship between moslims, Jews and Christians:

Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.

However, I will give you that it is an abrogation issue.

Because the qoran and hadiths are complete and utter nonsense (as is the bible, by the way), I tend to judge Islamic sentiments by the moslims I meet.

And I have met a lot. Having lived in Israel, having worked in refugee camps and having many moslim collegues where I work now: not one I have met has any problem with Jews or Christians. And atheists just baffle them (although mermaids being sea jinn cracks me up to their bafflement).

What you do see is shock and horror at Israel’s behaviour towards the Palestinians. But, I see that with most people I talk to, no matter their beliefs.

With the exception of a few hard-line right-wingers, everyone is agreed that Israel is going too far. And not one of them has any problem with the Jewish faith.

And hatred towards Jews has always baffled me. It’s such a small group of people who either stick to their own or who are no different in appearance to Western non-Jewish people (like Seinfeld, for example).

Mundo bizarro.

But the nuclear deterrent is based on ambiguity regarding your potential response.
I would definitely not leave Putin in any doubt about my willingness to kill Russian children because that would condemn my and millions of other children to death

You can’t kill Russian children just because Putin is willing to kill our children.

@yeah-boy said
No it's not.

Yes it is.
If someone is posting pro-trump, incel, racist claptrap… it’s not a woman.

It’s not rocket science.

Nowhere in the qoran does it say tht Jews should be killed.

Indeed, Jews and Christians are believed to be of the same God.

Genocide .. some examples from recent history:

1.5 million Armenians died in the Armenian genocide.
6 million Jews died in the Holocaust.
800,000 Tutsis died in the Rwandan genocide.
2 million Bangladeshis in the Bangladeshi genocide.
300,000 in the East Timor genocide
500,000 in the Syrian genocide.
100,000 in the Papua New Guinea genocide.


Around 40,000 Gazans ...[text shortened]... it up now.

Accusing Israel of engaging in genocide is simply a lie promoted by anti Semites lie.

Uhuh…

You do realise the drop between 6 million and 1.5 million is millions more than the drop between 1.5 million and 40.000?

The plane pilot who dropped the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima killed 80.000 people.
Jeffrey Dahmer killed 17.
Yet, who would you have for a sleep-over?

Numbers are numbers. It’s the goals behind them what make them what they are.

@rajk999 said
Of course, and their Holy Book, the Quran and their god Allah, apparently is in full support of killing all non-muslims. Somebody challenge me to produce the evidence from the Quran.

I challenge you.
Show us yiur evidence from the quoran.

Oh, by the way, Allah = God… it’s the same bloody entity.

@mott-the-hoople said
do you mean cleansing terrorist killers?

Little racist fukkwit, aren’t you.

All moslims are terrorists?
Pathetic.

@spruce112358 said
You aren't making much of an argument for nuclear non-proliferation.

Just the opposite, in fact.

Any rational person would never use nuclear weapons. Anybody who would use them is not rational, so it wouldn’t make a difference if they were the only ones with nukes or not.
They’ll use them when cornered.

Just because Russia kills children (with nuclear weapons), doesn’t grant anybody the right to kill Russian children (with nuclear weapons). So, we can’t use nukes, even if Russia does.
And if we do, the world ends.

Ergo: Oppenheimer created a monster.

@kellyjay said
Are these genocidal maniacs or peaceful protesters?

Anybody shouting "I am Hamas" is obviously a religious nutjob or is having a psychotic break.

And Israel is still ethnically cleansing people.

His disappearance led to the creation of what political party?

It must be some anomaly or something; perhaps a breach in the space time continuum…

Metalbrain has gone and only posts in threads bearing his name…

He’s a poltergoost trapped in his own mind, haunting the forums… in a very narcissistic way…

A thread with his name in the title is the bottle he resides in. A prison. A metal genie in a digital bottle.

I don’t understand

Indeed. Enough said.

Well, I reckon a defeated Russia will look like the rest of the world: a post-nuclear wasteland.

I assume, nay, presume that if Russia is facing actual defeat they will go nuclear. And that will not end pretty for anybody.

Taking into account that they know why they lost in Afghanistan, and that the whole world is now bolstering Ukraine with money and weapons, it’s very easy for them to consider “the West” as one enemy.

And mixing that with not wanting to lose face, I can readily see them deploying nuclear weapons: “If we don’t get Ukraine, nobody does.”

And that sets off a whole nightmare scenario of treaties, triggers and egos.

Someone once said: “Never push a rat into a corner, they must always have a way out.”
The same goes for bears.

But I don’t see much wisdom in the world at this moment in time; nobody there to see what is needed.

what do you think should be done about the 17 officials that lied about Trump on Russia collusion?

Or about Clinton creating the fake Russia dossier?

Or the officials that lied about hunters laptop?

They should be given medals just to piss you off.
