Thank you for your reasonable replies. Mr. Sakic deserves respect, since Mr. Sakic started membership at FR in 1999. However, his reasoning is sloppy and can be place into the Red Herring (”spewing”) and False Alternatives (”unlimited”) fallacies.

God the Father has built a tough atmosphere for us that volcanos can damage. Jews and Christians have the commandment to “protect” the atmosphere. Thus, all the worry about pollution from combustion engines and white styrofoam cups is unreasonable and silly. Remember: Mt. St. Helens poured more pollution into the air in 1981 in one hour than all humans in the last 10,000 years. The weather in San Francisco recovered in 1996 and fifteen years later. That is one tough atmosphere.

This thread is not about regulations, so it’s not a likely place to find those opinions. Posters of 5 and 16 sound like they would probably fit the bill, though.

In other threads it is easy to find, but I am not going to conduct a research project because it’s not worth the investment of time.

Now that I see you have made a couple of blanket statements against Jews, you’re a bit easier to understand.

You can’t distinguish between yourself and a Jewish conservative?

Pity

My daughter is going through one of these phases. She sees herself as a martyr and the world oppresses gays, trans and non-cis peoples. She has become the self-righteous, intolerant bigot that she claims to hate.

It’s annoying as Hell but I hate apathy more.

When you make multiple negative statements about Jews, no other explanation is needed.

Yeah I know

Can’t criticize liberal Jews for being liberal Jews

To quote one of my favorite Jews

“NOT ME BABE”

If you’d like to have an honest discussion about what I see around me from your tribe and the delight some of them take in transforming my culture and traditions and at the same time betraying their kinfolk in Israel ....kinfolk my southern Christian group has always supported strongly in my lifetime

I’ll have that conversation

I’ll explain to you how sad it is that more often than not leftist Jews are at the forefront of this transformation and how I personally over 60 years have had this explained to me by Jewish girlfriends and acquaintances

This anti pluralism meets messianic humanism and hostility to Christian conservatism

If you’re on the recurring end its hard not to notice trust me

If you want this talk I’m your man

Maybe you can explain to me they mean no harm really

I don't see what she is B******* about. He is only going to college not Afghanistan. If he was a real eco-warrior, a savior of the planet he would join the Taliban like that other Marin idiot John Walker Lindh./s

When my late wife and I took a trip to Australia to visit her son, the five-year old grandson announced one evening that he wasn’t going to eat meat anymore, that he was a vegetarian, because one of his little friends at school told him that the Earth was going to end because eating meat was bad. We were having lambchops that night and decided to humor his new lifestyle ... at least until the point where he demanded to know why we didn’t give him any lambchops. When we said that he didn’t get any because he was a vegetarian, he said, with complete honesty, “What’s that got to do with it? These aren’t meat, they’re lambchops.”
