The Nehor

I think you meant “twerks”. Also GenX is ignored again. Just the way we like it. 😛

And since the areas of the US most ardently opposed to abortion tend to have more poverty, worse health care, and fewer programs to address children living in poverty I stopped believing them when they said they oppose abortion because they believe life is precious.

Mostly because infants aren’t capable of the level of thinking needed to want to die so that is not really helpful.

In a utopian and/or translated society?

Whereas the older generations like to characterize whole generations by what a few hundred did so they can continue the cliche of “Kids these days” that has been the hallmark of bitter old folks since the first humans got old.

I’m a committed Latter-day Saint too, and I believe that abortion should be legal until they turn 18 just in case a dud manages to make it that far. Note: This is not meant as mockery of rpn’s statement. It is just general mockery.

On the other hand someone can utterly destroy the bots without any moral difficulties. Do that to human liars and they start screaming a lot about how unfair it is that I am feeding them to crocodiles. So much whining…….

As a society we don’t shun human liars. Why would a few more liars that lie because they are mimicking human liars make things worse? I mean, we already have the bot farms run by Russia showering us with lies so purely digital liars aren’t new either.

Oh, we are going to do this thread again?

It wasn’t really their fault. When the effect was first being examined in the 70s it was “inadvertent climate modification”. Then in the 80s it switched to “climate change” as an umbrella term and “global warming” referring to the change in average surface temperature which is part of “climate change”. They were created together. Then in a widely reported congressional hearing the NASA scientist answering questions referred to “global warming” a lot. He used the term correctly but it caught on in the media and in the public mind. People who say that there was a rebranding to “climate change” don’t know the history of the terms. In the scientific literature both terms were used since the 80s. The popularized term just finally caught up with what the scientists always meant.

Again, sociopathy and narcissism rarely overlap. People talk about them together or talk about generalized narcissism and behaviors that are sociopathic and those can overlap but a full-blow sociopath is almost never a narcissist and I can’t imagine a psychopath combining the two. There are many people who lack moral conscience without being a psychopath or sociopath. You’re just throwing terms around.

This. The ozone layer problem could have been disastrous but through a lot of international cooperation we reversed the problem and it appears to be slowly but steadily correcting itself.

Considering how God has expressed his displeasure with humanity’s wickedness in the past that isn’t that reassuring. The effects of climate change fit real neatly into some of the divine curse bits in scripture.

I chuckled and guffawed.

Doubt it. Sociopathic narcissists are rare. Very rare. It is likely one or the other. A psychopath or sociopath would be unlikely to worry about their lack of moral conscience or empathy nor would they likely be vain. The whole being a goddess/divine being might appeal to a narcissist but a sociopath or psychopath wouldn’t need that kind of rationale and would probably reject it as laughable. Lori also wouldn’t need anything to ameliorate her guilt if she was a psychopath or sociopath. This is nice fiction but very unlikely.

That is not a thing.

Monoamory, I think. Unless you joined the uniamory movement. “Is this the cult?” “We’re not a cult. We’re a school of wisdom-teachings and awareness modalities to cellularly and soulularly change you- which is to say, empower you- to strategically surrender back into the foundation of your being which has always been and can never not be Perfection.” “Yep, this is the place.”

That is not true of that investigation since there are manuscripts from the 7th century. There aren’t any complete manuscripts but if you were saying that you should be clear. It is pretty clear that while you claim to be scrupulous by avoiding pro-Islam sources that you are quite willing and eager to slurp up the interpretations of those that are anti-Islam and call those “the rubber meeting the road”. I don’t think there was one Quran brought down from heaven and preserved unchanged. I also don’t think your dime-store anti-Islam polemic proves anything either way.

Don’t forget to cover the last-minute changes to the script.

Short Version: Mandatory polyamory rarely works well.

Still dubious. Why does BYU law school have multiple Federalist Society chapters? Why is this not represented on the Federalist Society website? Why is this presented as an opinion piece (with no need for journalistic fact-checking) and not as a news piece?

What an incredibly loaded and toxic statement filled with insinuations and malice. If the kindness and respect were there anyway maybe it wouldn’t be a problem. It is not. And you know that. You want to pretend charity abounds so the problem will go away and your simple worldview can go on without being confronted by exceptions. These people need to shut up and stay unnoticed so they don’t disturb the peace of mind of the good and normal people who are made uncomfortable by their existence. And these weirdos need to stop asking questions as to how they fit into God’s plan.
