@xyfdi While obviously an absurd idea, it actually works with more things than you might think (not that its smart given safer alternatives)... like this works with biologically complex poisons (building up an immunity through small doses over time).
Absolutely professional considering they started bullying him on public TV before he even had a chance to spoke. In fact he was far more respectful than he should have been given the behavior in that room.
Trump and gang really were a humiliation and a disgrace to america in this meeting. Like my god it felt like a bunch of elementary school bullies attacking the kid with a disability. What a shameful time to be an american.
@Drosmel That would put you on par with 98% of americans (all the ones who voted for one of the two most popular parties out of the 5 choices).
@lolgop He cares, he is just incompetent and causing more harm than good. But I believe he does believe he is helping, even if he isnt.
@chris Is anyone surprised? They started this war many years ago with viral biological warfare to exterminate a people... it wont end.
That will teach me for taking your explanation at face value.. What a toxic ass, not surprised.
@brad Yes I used shook to summarize disapointed. The important part of the reading was that you expressed a desire to go out of your way to have no contact with anyone who is a christian, that is the crux of it. Again if your saying this person wasnt just a christian but acting a fool then sure, but your original post certainly doesnt suggest that is the case.
@brad No, I took what you said at face value, and when you said you expressed yourself incorrectly and that the situationw as nuanced, I gave you the benefit of the doubt there too, which i am still doing. No imagination needed in either case. Just express yourself more clearly next time, not a big deal, digging in and blamming everyone else for a very very poorly worded post is not helping.
@brad Well like I said inthe other post. I was just taking what you said at face value. You seemed to be shook you followed a christian, any sort of christian based on the wording. But if it was more nuanced than that, fair play, I take what people say at face value when I can. If you are talking about someone who is basically flat earth level, yea that can be a special sort of stupid, but then again I dont dislike people for **just** be stupid... that said if it went so far as him actually taking actions that cause harm, then that would be acceptable. Either way, like you said, if there are more details then I'd need those to form an opinion.
@brad Im basing it on what you said and assuming nothing beyond that. Namely that you are appalled to find out you were following a christian. Obviously if that isnt a fair representation of you the post might be problematic for that reason but unlike most people I will take what people say at face value. If you say what you said doesnt reflect your opinion then fair game, that may be more respectable depending on the details then.
@brad Not what was said. I said nothing about what you beleive or who you get surgery from.. We are talking about someone you follow, not someone you get surgery from.
@brad While I wouldnt mind you opinion of christianity, to judge a **person** in that way is a disgusting level of prejudice. Sad to see from someone **I** follow :(
@AncientGood I mean the man is the richest person in the world. That may not mean your the smartest person (clearly) but it does mean your the best at making money, we would be lying to ourselves if we did t recognize he has a unique talent, even if he is t a great person.
