Yeah, that's sick. 

I have a niece who got pregnant via date rape at age 16.   She didn't believe in abortion so had the child, a boy. She decided to keep him after her Mom (my sister) told her she'd help support them both and care for him while she finished school and then went to college. 

When N was 4 1/2, Wendy met and later married a good man who adopted N. They had 2 more sons and are a very happy family.  No one talks much about how N came to be, but it's also not a secret.  It just is what it is and no one has a problem with it.

Other women in W's situation could not have done what she did.  I respect their choices too.  It is NOT easy to carry, birth, and care for a child of rape, especially when it completely changes your life.  Abortion and adoption SHOULD also be options available to them.

Blame deforestation, NOT mythical "Global Warming".

Posted by DFM on September 15, 2024, 10:47 am, in reply to "More than half of Brazil is racked by drought. Blame deforestation."

It is the tendency for idiots to blame all environmental problems on "Global Warming". This tend to distract people from REAL & SERIOUS problems such as deforestation; overfishing; water, air, and soil pollution, etc.

We need to deal with real problems and NOT get distracted by fashionable idiocy.

Debunkers” galore coming out of the wood work. “Facr” checkers lying through their teeth. Snopes etc working overtime. Haiti’s “national religion” is voodoo.

There should be no surprise that human traffickers dumping 20,000 4th world invaders onto a small Ohio town would have issues with Haitians eating pets and park wildlife. The photos are real, police audio records, police reports, residents, and the Ohio Attorney General reveal the truth as originally reported by honest journalists. The latest intrigue is about bomb threats sent to several schools allegedly from an internet operative. Then there is resident who is too stupid to recognize state media manipulation. We can expect this story to morph into back alleys right up to November.

Clearly political. Will anything be done?

As is a new post by scott (who seems to be trying to take over the board) which compares Kamala Harris with Ellen DeGeneres and blames them both for the alleged attempted assassinations of Trump.

https://mb.boardhost.com/ReligionAndEthics/msg/1726510242.html

Seriously.  Nutty stuff. This is what evangelical religion does to the mind.

You're smart to stay away.  I don't know why I care - nostalgia, perhaps.

Plus, I hate phonies and liars..

I'll have to take your word for it. 
I won't be back there for at least the remainder of this year, not even to read. 
It is one thing to read trump right politics. It is another to read his religion. 
 

============================

I've been posting and reading there far less given the prominence of a certain segment that just spoil the whole experience for me because they are too prolific to just ignore. 

The sheer arrogance of some disgusts me in how they seem to believe their views are of primary importance and all others are just... wrong.  They seem to feel justified in labeling and attacking anyone who disagrees with them to where I find it upsetting at how much harm they cause and the degree of insults they dish out to good people, without justification or even a decent reason to do so.  It is seriously UGLY and I'll not be party to it. 

In one case, I can't even take a stand against it because of her unjustified DNR, so screw it. I'll avoid all but her clearly rule violations so I'm not pissed off that I can't respond if I want to.

I have my own spaces where I don't have to tolerate their crap or allow it to annoy me. I'll try to reserve my expressed annoyance to here rather than answer them there and potentially exacerbate problems there, better ignored.

So, I'll post there when I feel like it and avoid engaging them as much as possible until such time as annoyande builds up and there's no ignoring it anymore.

It can be difficult to ignore since I also "help out" in identifying and reporting rule violations in an "unofficial" but appreciated and counted on capacity. So I essentially have to open and skim posts I really want to ignore if they look like they will probably contain delivered but hidden violations. However, 2 1/2 decades of moderating and posting at the same time have helped me be "disengaged" from the posting process when skimming for rule violations so I don't get triggered by the majority of them.

Those same individuals mentioned above, plus a few others, constantly sneak politics into their posts and claim anyone pointing it out is somehow harassing them whether directly or with snide remarks about "snitches"!

That and another segment have run off posters I enjoyed reading, most recently Sir Real, while others I enjoy participating with have lowered their presence there too. So why bother?

It's too bad, but it just is like that right now.  Nothing I can do or will even try to do anything about it.  It's not just one or two I can totally ignore anymore.  It's the entire atmosphere and the majority there now and that is upsetting to me, plus I'm annoyed at how blatantly disrespectful it is to Ken & Trish.

==============================

To his credit, Ken not only called GOG out for his ridiculous conspiracies, but he ultimately locked the thread after GOG "talked back" to him as if Ken's original warning to him was "negotiable". 

So much crap gets missed because mods are too busy and some of us who try to help out are "less available" so posters have apparently gotten cocky thinking that their rule breaking is somehow okay.

Lt Col Eugene Vindman

He falsely testified against Trump in the fake impeachment trial. Now, he is running for Congress in Virginia. I hope he is soundly defeated.
***

Of course this senile idiot can't provide a shred of evidence of 'false testimony.'  Just
makes him 'feel bad...'

Mongo is, of course, not a military veteran.

Expect MORE NOISE soon. 

Alexander Vindman's wife, Rachel posted something about tRUMP's second assassination attempt:

Rachel Vindman, sister-in-law of 7th Congressional District Democratic candidate Eugene Vindman, took to social media Sunday afternoon mocking the incident.
“No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon,” [Rachel] Vindman posted on X.

 Rachel is Alexander Vindman's wife.
 

How dishonest is Mongo?  This dishonest..

Yes, deadly ...

... a stupid Capitol Cop shot an unarmed veteran.

The whole thing was Pelosi's fault for not accepting Trump's offer for National Guard protection of The Capitol. She later admitted fault.

Absolute dishonesty in every count.  Like most Trumpers, and fake Christians, he's willing to lie - just like Sophia/Observer - to support their Dark Lord Trump.

How I wish all of the Capitol invaders had been shot dead that traitorous day.

How sickening that TURDS like
these continue to stink up America.

I'm SO DONE with both Shadow/Observer and Scott.  Talk about unbelievable B.S. and deliberate DNR violations?

SCOTT:
https://mb.boardhost.com/ReligionAndEthics/msg/1726606767.html

so my post was deleted because?  

Posted by scott on September 17, 2024, 1:59 pm, in reply to "This topic is about abortion. Abortion is a welcome topic here." 

Using an example, just as you did, merits on who, to decide that?

I never mentioned a party either.

I'm not completely convinced you're the one who deleted it. Usually there's some communication and identification from you with it. And I'll always fathom a manipulation purposed the action, no matter who did it. Malcontents are always lurking.

Doesn't seem" ethical, does it? Questioning who's in charge is real.

SHADOW:

Posted by observer on September 17, 2024, 4:03 pm, in reply to "and there it is...confirmed."

  Trish is the helper, Sia is the snitch.

I requested a DNR against Scott on R&E and had already removed his membership on Blue so you'll no longer have to work around him here and since you won't be on R&E anymore, you will not see him at all anymore. 

He is everything that SJW said about him today.

quote SJW: But I consider your posting manner more than a bit too condescending and self-congratulatory for my taste.

I've never seen someone SO full of himself. 

After the comments made above, he got really personal and did his usual pseudo-psychology nonsense attacks. 

------------------
I mistakenly thot..  

Posted by scott on September 17, 2024, 8:31 pm, in reply to "You don't have to mention a party when you NAME specific politicians running for POTUS"

 trish actually had more integrity than to follow your dictates from another board. You're obvlously only here to cause problems, not converse.

You're the antithesis of quality board etiquette.

You act all insecure: using insults as a way to deflect attention from perhaps your own perceived shortcomings.

You display regularly a lack of empathy towards others’ feelings and mostly try to dominate the conversations to assert control over others.

You show poor communication skills and resort often to insults as a way to participate.

Mostly I think just seeking attention. Any kind, even if it's negative.

In other words, I don't have to answer to the likes of you here or anywhere.

My beliefs are my own. The question you have to ask is, who owns your?

And I'm quite okay if you don't like or agree with any of this post.

-------------

Good riddance. 


 

Now I see he's trying to post that pile of manure from the white whine board - a pompous lecture on how to deal with bad posters, except it's clearly an attack directed at Sia - on yellow.

https://mb.boardhost.com/ReligionAndEthics/msg/1726680617.html

Like Sophia he is deceptive, disingenuous and secretive in his personal attacks. He pretends to be trying to 'help' even as he's hating and smearing.

A real fake Christian, just like 'observer...'

'Imitate that which is good' is good advice.

..or as Arlen and Mercer wrote:

'You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between'

Thanks.

We recently experienced a board hopper. That is a person who can't express certain elements of knowledge or character on one board, and then moves to another to fulfill that character. For what purpose? What reason?

It didn't take long for that to become clear. Intent was malevolent and intentional. It was not edifying, uplifting, and did not add good feelings with different views. It became permeated with condemnation of other people's views, unexpressable elsewhere apparently to hide face and possibly protect status. Rather than adding value, it subtracted humanity. It followed a leadership example to bring out the worst in humanity.

I won't be surprised by report of some upturn flurry of activity elsewhere that targets the "unfair" leadership and expectation of deportment on Blue, though I won't directly read it. An expectation is simple. Do not imitate eviil. Imitate that which is good. It isn't that we desire to be better. No, we just want to be human.  
 

===============================

J, if I'd known what he'd done to you along with Observer and Mark, he woulda been gone long before he coulda posted ANY of his posts yesterday morning.  It's one thing the crap he dishes out to me, quite another that he did something so cruel to you and harmed you the way that the 3 of them did. That's not just disagreement or being disagreeable.  It's downright evil to harm someone that way.  So screw them all. They don't deserve the time of day ever again.

I knew that he'd come over in an attempt to annoy me.  I didn't care either way so his plan failed on that mark.

Of COURSE he'll criticize that he got booted from here. But seriously, he only joined to try to sell his book.  I did buy a copy for my kindle.  I haven't read it yet and now definitely don't intend to.  I'm sure it's full of praise heaped upon himself and a ton of lectures on what it means to be a good Christian and little else... BLAH.  Whatever it is about, I no longer give a rat's patootie.

I only bought it to help him sell more of his books since it meant so much to him. When some are sold, others are more willing to buy them, so I thought it would be helpful.  I shouldn't have bothered.

I've known Scott for a couple of decades and have tangled with him in the past.  I'd hoped that maybe he'd changed and mellowed some so wasn't as judgmental and rigid as he'd always been.  Wrong.  He's WORSE.
