Thailand was very famously not colonised

Or evacuate citizens like in Afghanistan

I think we should require all social media be federated and generally domestic

The Gospel according to St Luke, Chapter 10, verses 25-37:

And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him (Jesus Christ of Nazareth) to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.” But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A (Jewish) man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a (Jewish) priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii (two days' wages) and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”

For historical context, the Jews and Samaritans absolutely despised each other. I think this story works best if you replace the Jewish man, Priest and Levite with contemporary examples from one side and the Samaritan with someone from the opposing side. Eg, The Queer community and a MAGA person, British Unionists and Irish Nationalists (the one I was taught) basically any contemporary group that hates each other.

This is a different country with different cultural values

I just hope they don’t import their culture war BS here any further.

There is a photo of a bullet flying right past him, a reporter witnessed a piece of his ear come off, and the paths traced into the victims who unfortunately were hit, do show that the bullets went near Trump

Trump is too much of a sissy to fake having shots fired near him

First campaign attempt - I don’t think trump would have let some kid put bullets so close to his head

This is basically the downfall of America.

I thought they were the ones who were against “foreign interference” lmao

Just like how we have “abortions” instead of “fetus deletus”

Install sausage roll detectors at the doors

Wouldn’t the vet that spays him be able to do this for you?

Are you not thinking of euthanasia? Hospice is like a care home for people who are dying

Pretty simply, do you require help knowing the difference between what is cruel and what is not?

Morality is a supposition

No, because we inherited that knowledge from Adam. The fact that we can tell the difference seems to show that an objective morality exists - this includes things such as taking care of elders and avoiding animal cruelty, something which can’t be explained with evolutionary “survival of the fittest”

Because of the suffering of innocents. Any all powerful creature that allows suffering on the scale we are familiar with either doesn’t know about it, and is thus ignorant, or doesn’t care, and is thus apathetic. Perhaps this creature both knows and cares, in which case it is either powerless to stop it, and therefore not all powerful, or it is a cruel being, and not one by which to set your moral compass.

The suffering is generally called by other people most of the time, and man-made factors. Also, can anyone truly be counted innocent? Humans rebel against authority from the earliesr possible age, often before even their first birthday. Likewise, if humans aren’t innocent, then stopping that suffering would mean immediately wiping out every single one of us. God promises eternal rest where there will be no suffering or crying - God is patient and gives us a fair chance, and then judges us. At that point, the idea of God not caring doesn’t work either- God literally became incarnate as a Human and submitted Himself to death, bearing the punishment for sins. He isn’t uncaring - He’s extremely merciful and doesn’t expect to be “won over” with good deeds.

This relies on a number of assumptions which are mostly wrong. Am I condemning an entire culture or the actions of a few people? Do the people of that culture think this is a good idea? Are there members of that group that condemn this? Are those members represented? Is the practice being condemned harmful?

What if the majority of them were in favour?

So you require someone else to tell you what is right and what is not? Are you incapable of independent thought? Are you devoid of compassion and empathy?

Without God, Human morality can be corrupted, such as chattel slavery or the holocaust.

Should God appear to you and demand you sacrifice your eldest son, would you begin sharpening your knife?

I don’t worship a God who would require me to sacrifice my eldest son, so that question isn’t relevant.

Could work as a banking device…

I enjoy engaging with tankies. Sometimes if you ask them to explain, they generally will give you their thought process. I’ve actually found myself agreeing with them on some things. There’s a lot of propaganda here in the west, regarding the likes of China and such, which turns out that while it’s not a perfect utopia either, it’s not really North Korea as some people think. I especially enjoy talking to Deathbybigsad, he has lived experience there.

☹️ I don’t wanna be in an echo chamberrrrr

I just realise that this comment made no sense
