What’s funny about All In The Family is that it was written for stage by an Englishman and the guy who played the part of Archie there was Cherie Blair’s father.

Turing had issues. The preferential justification for the Marxist cause.

Excluding the safety and well-being of minors, I’m apathetic. That’s God’s problem, not mine.

no it becomes society’s problem

aka the radical moral breakdown we have today

the fact we are all paying taxes to pay for expensive aids meds for gays who keep infecting others with it, amd mutating the disease further

not to mention the special cancers and other stds that come with the gay lifestyle that have become superbugs and drug resistant strains from the gay “community”

further they jave grown into intolerant radicals that will try to ruin your life if you don’t approve of them, you’ll see just how thin a veneer of civility they have

they got several of my friends fired, one because he was straight and turned down a gay guys’ advances

>> no it becomes society’s problem

Fair enough, but I was referring to personal behavior.

>> aka the radical moral breakdown we have today

That’s Marxist exploitation.

Well aware of the BS corporate pandering. Not acceptable.

My point: I’m not going to condemn an individual for his/her personal behavior.

I don’t agree, but I do recognize that it was a real security concern back then. And an apology doesn’t make much sense. Just virtue signaling.

The Soviets blackmailed a lot of British people to become spies for them before, during and after WW2. The US case of Burgess & McLean showed how that blackmail techniques was used in the US and the British saw how bad their internal security was towards closet Communists and homosexuals who were being blackmailed or targets of such.

This story is much more complicated than what is in the article.

I assume they’re overvalueing Turing’s work.

God disagrees with you and your mindset. We are to OPPOSE EVIL, not tolerate it or look the other way. People like you are why we have gay marriage, why we have pastors going to jail if they preach against LGBT garbage, why 3rd graders are being indoctrinated about anal sex, why parents can go to jail if they oppose their children going trans. Naive, fools who thought it was not their problem.

“It is estimated his work shortened the war in Europe by more than two years and saved more than 14 million lives.”

Any truth to this claim can anyone tell me?

Oh...well, many activities can make a person dirty and smell, but, they can take a shower afterwards, and get completely clean, and smell like a flower again, can't they?        :-)

Yes, it seemed to afflict a lot of the wealthy classes back in those days. The rich often feel entitled to break any and every rule or moral.
