My reply: I see you have a firm grasp of reality. We used to refer to such events as "a convenient tragedy" or "unfortunate convenience". I was wondering how long he would last in the box. While Trump doesn't have the long history of such incidences, the Clintons' entire history is rife with such events. The only thing that really surprised me with Epstein is the fact that he wasn't supposed to testify before some committee the next morning.
I'm disappointed to see the right wing skew of this. It's a rich thing in general and they are gleeful that a guy who got a blow job 20 years ago is on the list. A guy who got impeached. We also have a guy getting impeached now with a questionable sexual past. I think people in general are disappointed in human behavior and some only use this as an example to see others are less than human. As if people with opinion on other social topics must have the opinion pedophilia is good. That line of thinking does not apply to these topics. There is bad people on "both sides" as a current impeachment candidate said. It's always a long wolf when we can assume the bad person was a Republican. When it's a former Democratic president in a scandal it's all his voters too. I don't know pedophilia seems to be a long wolf activity. You can't really find friends into it easily.
Mohamed would’ve flown on the Lolita Express with Epstein. Indeed I did I took that angle so I could speak in a language you would understand. And hold you to your own standards. You said yourself that hate speech should be a criminal charge. Well, a Muslim might find it hateful that you’d mock Jesus and the Virgin Mary, and have you charged with a fine or jail time. There lies the problem. Hate speech is subjective; what is hateful to some, is factual and casual to the rest of us. Enforcing and defining hate speech laws are a constantly moving goal post, and always subject to change. As for me, I don’t hate all Muslims personally. Some Muslims are good and remarkable people. I just don’t agree with their religion and especially the fundamentalist interpretation, and neither would you if you supported basic human rights. Therefore I’m going to keep talking smack about Islam until the people like you the hell up and realize it’s a far-right traditionalist ideology
Unfounded speculation. Hate speech mustn't be defined subjectively. We have areas in the law where the standard of a reasonable person is used. As for moving goal posts, we also have judicial standards for speech (obscenity) invoking "contemporary community standards". I agree, hate speech laws are a bad idea, and the United States doesn't have them. You have a right to be as hateful as you want to be, but that's very different from being right to do it. Your "some of my best friends" excuse is what lots of bigots say when they don't want to admit to being bigots. I don't agree with most of the tenets of Islam, especially the fundamentalist variety, for the same reasons I don't agree with Christian fundamentalists. But I'm grateful to Islam for giving me a better understanding of my own religion, especially the importance of singular devotion to God and avoiding shirk (idolatry). I attend occasional social events and worship services at the mosque and am generally struck by the sincere devotion and basic goodness of the participants, just as I am the Catholics I had bible study with today (even though we disagree on abortion.) Instead of building walls and hurling insults at the outset, I think a more fruitful approach is to get to know them as people. Insulting the Prophet Muhammad, Jesus or the Virgin Mary isn't the best way to promote constructive dialogue.
That 13 year old girl that trump was alleged to have sexually assaulted sounds a lot like Epstein’s handiwork ….hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Many historians think Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene. That's why she is just a prostitute in the Bible. The male disciples did not like how close man and women are so they too her down a notch. He was rumored to tell her more things. Makes sense if he loved her. So yeah he got the sex too most likely. You seem confused on how I would classify Islam. As far as what's "far right" well in the American sense so you are too. I don't know that I can put that definition on another religion. I respect Muslims and that seems to be what is getting you hot. I'm never going to hate them like you. I will look at individual actions.
That's what the Mormons believe. Mormonism, like Islam, knocks-off older religions like Christianity. Just as Christianity knocks-off much of Judaism. You can call me whatever name you like, but I'm not part of the religious far-right. Many muslims believe in the old school traditions of the religious practices of how to run a society. Personally, I think religion and state need to be kept as far away from each other as humanly possible. The religious right makes up the collectivist right. And I don't like the collectivist right at all because I'm an individualist.
What if a brewery made something called "Epstein Was Murdered in J-Ale" ...with a picture of Trump, Clinton, and Prince Andrew clinking glasses?
If you send that idea to various designer breweries, one of them is bound to comply. It's kinda' like stickin' yer butt up out of a foxhole....some smart-alek is going to take a shot.
no one can find the video from Jeffrey's jail cell, I BET you could find it at hildebeast's house in the same closet in that bathroom where the server was
White racism exists just like any other race that expresses racism. We know it exists. All you do is talk about it all the time and it comes off as if you're just being racist to a whole race for something that only a minority are doing.
