    My aunt sadly passed away this week and my sister, who lives in Miami arranged a service in her honor at one of her local churches, as they stream them and that would allow different family members to "be there together".

    Little did she know that the priest would go into a pro-Trump, anti-gay, anti-Pope tirade and urge people to vote for him as the sanctity of marriage is not negotiable. 🤦‍♂️

    It's things like this that got us Trump in power. 

    Please vote.

    The time is right now.

    Oh my good God! To besmirch your aunt's legacy like that, I just can't.

    Sorry, but we have to call the reason for it: islam. Its a dangerous religion and very different to christianity. I m not for banning it completely, but those radicals have to be locked up and their mosques closed down. In Europe there should remain only the liberal islam who is accepting of LGBTQ, other faiths etc. (there is such mosque in Berlin). Islam shouldn't exist as an opposition to Europe. Within Europe, it should integrate, not the other way around. I stand by Macron 100 percent.

    Exactly. At some point criticism of Islam became conflated with prejudice against Muslims, and they're not the same.

    Like any religion, it should be freely scrutinized, criticized, and yes, satirized and mocked in a FREE SOCIETY.

    Not sure why we're allowed to do this with Christianity but it's Islamophobic and discriminatory to do with Islam.

  3. She's back in the news 'cuz she's returned a human rights award she received, after they criticized her views. She's really gonna die on this hill.

    JK Rowling has said she is giving back an award associated with the US Kennedy family, after being criticised for her views on gender and trans issues.

    The author was given the Ripple of Hope honour by the Robert F Kennedy Human Rights organisation last year.

    But earlier this month, its president Kerry Kennedy said views expressed by Rowling recently "diminished the identity" of trans people.

    Rowling says Kennedy's implication that she is transphobic is "incorrect".

    I understand those still somewhat disappointed that Biden is the nominee as he wouldn't have been my first choice either. The Dem candidate pool was so massive this time and I too am a little blase' about the fact that Biden, the most "vanilla" one of all is what we ended up with. However, we're in dire straits at this point. Maybe we need a little "normalcy" at this point.

    Anyways, for those that for (god knows what reason) that are on the fence or considering voting for a third party, PLEASE keep in mind when you cast your vote you're not JUST voting for/against Biden. This is much bigger and more serious this time. Don't neglect the fact that you're pretty much voting for our entire future, not the next four years. If Trump/Republicans win, THEY WILL gain FULL and TOTAL control of the Supreme Court......THAT will impact us FAR beyond 2024. It's no exaggeration to say that the policies that they'd put in place, will absolutely haunt us for the rest of our lives. I think it's safe to say a good chunk of us are in our 30's/40's so just imagine what we have now until we're 65-70 yrs old at least. 

    PLEASE consider all aspects of who you vote for this year. It's not a game this time. It's not a time to stamp our feet and vote defiantly because we don't have our "ideal" Dem candidate. 

    Preach, Kurt. As they say, you rarely get what you vote for but you almost always get what you fail to vote against.

    Tell that to the poor bird watcher who was harassed by a Karen, who called the police screaming that a big black man was attacking her. 

    They are privileged absurdas who will stop tbeir antics now that they fear someone may be filming them. 

    Yeah, I said "unless it's the police" but I meant "unless it's injustice". Thank God George Floyd is on video...the 17 year old who filmed it couldn't have known the impact it would have.

    I'm sorry but people and them filming every fart that happens to them on their smartphone

    is just as tired...Whatever happened to just screaming 'Asshole' or 'Stupid Whore' and then

    getting on with your day like in the good old days.

     

    Thank you.

    This need to film people in public is tired...well unless it's the police. :chuckle:

    I've had arguments with people in public before. It happens from time to time. But now you might get filmed, edited, and put on Twitter.
