If you are married (never divorced) and over the age of 50... you have ZERO clue what “Family Court” has done to your fellow man. I can only describe it as DIVORCE RAPE.... you will lose 1/2 (or more) of your life’s savings (401k, investments, property, business, everything). Child support will be used as “Back-Door Alimony”, taking up to 60% of your take home pay under threat of imprisonment. But that’s not the worst of it. Your children WILL be given to the woman who cheated on you and changed her mind on the marriage. Your kids will be raised by a woman who you will soon learn never believed in your conservative ideals. These children will grow to blame an hate you. Your fatherhood WILL be erased and you will keep paying $$$$$ for it.

My point? Brothers... DO NOT GET MARRIED!!!
Even if she is 100% conservative, godly, family focused (today). Women are not known for their superior emotional regulation, their feelings about you and your family will change.

Video Games & Porn, if that’s what it takes as a distraction is far better than DIVORCE RAPE.

I just uploaded a picture of me drinking a beer to:

Haha! You can literally upload anything you want there.

Someone clearly tipped off the Biden campaign they were being investigated over this...

Who led the FBI during this period? hmmm... oh yes! Robert Mueller .

The FBI has been corrupt for decades.

MILO has a video out giving a fuller explanation worth a listen:

You’re wrong on almost every point. Soccer could use adjustments but not any of those ones you propose.

{{ Adjustment #1: Dramatically shrink the size of the field. Make the field about half the size it is now. This will help increase the action in front of the goal. }}

2 bad things will happen if this was done.
—1. the game would become “Goalie Wars”. Goalies lobbing the ball back and forth hoping the opposing goalie makes a mistake and the ball goes in. The length of the field is very specific to avoid goalies being able to score on each other from their “drop kick”.
—2. You don’t want more action in front of the goal. The more people and it becomes a scrum where the goals are accidental. No skill, just a bunch of wild kicking. The most exciting shots in Soccer are the long shots.

{{ Adjustment #2: Increase the size of the goal. }}

The width of a regulation goal is 18ft. A man standing in the middle can jump to either side and have a slim but possible chance of reaching either post. This encourages the wild and exciting jumping saves. Making it wider would change goal tending for the worse. More defenses packed in the goal to make up.

However increasing the goal height by 6” might be possible. It would encourage more jumping by the goalie which is exciting. It would also encourage more long shots, also exciting.

{{ Adjustment #3: Put sideboards up around the field so the ball doesn’t go out of bounds so much. }}

No, No, No!.... Walls discourage teamwork and discourage running. Walls also allow the ball to be “trapped” leading to a lot of time where the defender and offensive player pretty much just stand there in a stand-off. MMA also suffers from this with their cages.

{{ Adjustment #4: Allow hitting in soccer, like in ice hockey and lacrosse. }}
Sports that allow hitting require pads. Pads hurt running and skill moves. Soccer doesn’t have pads and because there are no pads there aren’t problems with concussions that can end careers and lives.

... You need to learn what “Stoppage Time” is.
... You need to learn what “Set Plays” are.
... You need to learn why games ending in ties can be just as exciting as games ending in a win/loss.... [hint: world cup scoring is done as a tournament - you get points even for the ties, not win/lose like the playoffs or NCAA]

“Brinton says. “To this day, I still have light pain when I shake hands with another male.”

So the therapy worked then! Just imagine the pain he gets when he lets a guy nail his azz or he puffs a peter?

You’re quite wrong! NFL players couldn’t play soccer on par with even the European club teams.

Soccer is an extremely difficult sport to play because the your foot is the farthest thing from your brain, looking at your feet while you are running is also not practical. Therefore the majority of the touches in soccer are from muscle memory. To develop muscle memory, sports physiologists say it takes 10,000 hours to master a sport... just to touch the ball without having to use your brain.

Most people on this thread don’t have their thinking caps on....

20,000 NON VIOLENT - convicted men. Drug crimes.

Worst case is these guys get back on the street and go right back to selling dope. More dope = more drugged up Americans too stoned to riot or revolt or give 2 shits about voting.

It costs what on average to house a federal inmate? $30k?
So this move saves the US govt. $600million a year! Could it be? Democrats actually about to save money?

The problem isn’t with letting this 20k out... It’s why can’t we let out 40k. For decades now federal sentencing has been inhumanely severe. Virtual life sentences dealt out like candy for non-violent crimes.

As a conservative I’m humiliated that our once proud Nation has put more people in prison than any other country on the planet. China, Russia? Nope - more people locked up and more per capita locked up in the “Land of the Free”. Disgusting.

I also noticed BOTH AT&T & Verizon are sponsors...

When you guys call up and tell them you are switching to Sprint, they will ask why. Be sure to tell them their sponsorship of Gay Pride events is what is losing them business. That stuff does get reported on and if enough people cancel their service for the same reason then their marketing people won’t participate next year.

“Girl Scout Troop 79744” is entered to participate... WOW! I’m just speechless. What parent would subject a young girl to the normalization, front and center, of BSDM & many of the perversions that take place...

Keep your kids out of the girl Scouts people.

My point is that you need a more solid argument than souls or religion.

While that might be your personal reason for opposing abortion, it isn’t good enough to base public policy on. The reason that there are many different religious beliefs, your example of Hindu’s from India is a good one.

As a thought experiment, if technology could progress and in 1000 years we could block a a body from receiving a soul, for the purposes of abortion or growing body replacement parts for the parents... Under the “don’t kill it because it has a soul” basis, this would be medically ethical.

That is why I do NOT base my opposition to abortion on religion.

Liberals and many people don’t believe in souls.... Your argument falls short.

Even if they developed a procedure where the baby felt no pain it would still be wrong.

Life is defined medically in human beings as a beating heart. When your heart stops beating then you are declared dead. A fetus develops a heartbeat around age 3weeks. Abortion after 3 weeks is technically homicide according to the medical definitions.

But we know brain activity also means Life. Week 4 is when the fetal brain divides into 5 parts and a flurry of brain activity can be seen.

If Roe v Wade was decided today then abortions would be banned from Week 3/4 onward as they should be. Of course most women don’t learn they are pregnant until after this point so the Abortion Mills would be put out of business.

I say let abortion be legal in week 1/2... When science devices a way to tell that early. Woman would have to wear a pregnancy alarm 24/7.

“legalization would help to create a large black market for drugs”; Just like the black market for alcohol and nicotine after it was made legal... er ah... wait...

I thought Africa was China’s empire. Let them do it.

Will someone PM me the graphic parts this book is in trouble over?

Bravo SengirV!!!!

In the vast majority of the country there is only 1 choice a person has if they want high-speed internet. In part of the country a person is lucky if they have 2-3 choices.

But telco’s are a strange animal. In the front door they compete for customers but in the back door they are friends and partners. Yes AT$T, Veri$ion, Comca$t & Time-Warner all have agreements on the backend about how much each will pay the other to leverage their networks and even how those networks will be operated.

MONOPOLIES, especially ones that lease government owned (aka owned by you and I) airwaves, do need oversight and regulation.

We have all discovered that in the 1980’s $3 a minute long distance rates were a scam. How much money did the telco’s steal from your parent’s back then? Long Distance eventually became “commoditized”. The Telco’s learned their lesson from that disaster. Mobile phone service and internet should go the way of Long-Distance... But that doesn’t happen. WHY not?

They don’t care about you. The opinion that matters is your children’s. That is where this battle is.

All this is from the view point that there is a concept of “Time” in the afterlife.

Time is an earthly concept that probably cannot exit in heaven or hell.

Truth is that Lesbian’s are overwhelmingly poor while Homosexual men are overwhelmingly affluent. Why is that?

So 2 women living together who never have sex but are otherwise “a couple” raising one of the women’s children is ok?

Men and women have been having deviate sexual behavior with members of the same sex for thousands of years. But what has been occurring in the western world for the last 30 years is brand new. Never before have gays attempted to simulate a heterosexual family so openly and completely.

Liberals cannot destroy our society without replacing it with nothing. Their drive for “equality” is the first step. Convince our children that gay families are equal to straight families. The next step is supremacy.

Focus on the family.
