  Ok, so simply by being assholes then, Fox and its cohorts have inspired violence? That is what you are saying
  

  Yes, although the word "asshole" is too mild a word.

  So you believe in stopping free speech? Because if someone says something dumb, or mean, someone might kill someone else. Am I getting that right?
  

  wow...
  

  That is false. There is no implication in what I said that free speech should be banned. In fact I'm on record on this site for defending the rights of free speech even for JWs.

  VI are you implying that Fox News and the talking heads on Fox called for these actions? Do they have a written agenda, and call to shoot liberals?
  

  They don't have to make a call for anything or even have a written agenda. Their hatemongering inspires people to do these things without having to give specific commands.

  I'm talking about Fox News' inspiring murderers of Liberals.
  

  WTF are you on?
  

  The Unitarian church shooter. Jim David Adkisson went to a Unitarian church (Known to be Liberal) with a shotgun and killed two church members before he was subdued by church members. When policemen captured him he told them that he hated liberals and since he could not reach the politicians he decided to shoot some that were within easier reach. When the police officers went to his home they discovered books authored by conservatives like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity.

  
  

  The Las Vega cop killers. A married couple, Jerad and Amanda Miller, went to a pizza restaurant and killed two policemen. They then draped a Gadsden flag over their bodies and pinned a note on one of the policemen which read "This is the beginning of the revolution." They were extreme right wingers who had previously visited the Bundy ranch where law enforcement agents were surrounded by people aiming rifles at them.

  
  

  The Sikh temple shooter. Wade Page went to their worship services and began shooting the worshippers killing six. Page was also a radical conservative.
  

  

  Byron Williams. According to his mother, Williams "watched the news on television and was upset by 'the way Congress was railroading through all these left-wing agenda items.'"

  He was, heavily armed and en route to an Acorn office with intent to kill. Fortunately the police pulled him over and captured him after he engaged them with a volley of gunfire. No one was killed. Williams told investigators that "his intention was to start a revolution by traveling to San Francisco and killing people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU."

  
  

  How more examples should I have to give?

  Would human settlement of Mars invalidate Bible prophecy?

  by truthseeker in

  i don't think this topic has been discussed before but yesterday i read something to the effect that trump wants a human mission to mars to be completed within his presidency.. with that being said, the watchtower teaches that what started on earth ends on earth, in other words, the fall of adam and eve would end with the passing of the 1,000 year millennial reign when christ destroys all his enemies, rebellious "perfect" humans, and the devil and his demons who are let out the abyss for a short while.

  he then hands the kingdom back to his father.

  an elder in my old congregation once told us during a public talk that he was an ardent astronomer but then referenced the scripture where it says, "the earth he has given to the sons of men" (psalms 115:16).

  respectful_observer,

  If Satan and his demons were cast down (and restricted) to the earthly realm in 1914, does that mean if humans started a colony on Mars that Satan and his demons would be unable to influence them?
  

  Actually, the way the Watchtower explains it is that the 'vicinity' of the Earth refers to the whole universe as opposed to heaven which is outside our universe.

  @LoveUniHateExams. I suppose that the Tea Party and the conservative media has nothing to do with it in your view.

  Coco, I wouldn't blame your laptop. Simon mentioned that he was doing stuff with the program. It probably affects different computers or browsers differently. As of now, I sometimes have it happen but it rectifies itself after just one refresh. I'm using IE and Firefox.

  Kpop,

  ...you go ahead and keep falling for the same old divide and conquer narrative that divides by race, gender, sexual orientation, religion etc etc etc. A nation divided cannot stand. They know that. You obviously don't.
  

  The dividers are this nation's financial elite who bankrolled the founding of the Tea Party to carry out their political desires. It is they who radicalized politics. Do the Koch Brothers care that their Frankenstein creation (The alt-right) has done the same thing with American politics that McCarthyism did in the 1950s?

  Kpop, you don't even understand what I have said. I was talking about right wingers inspiring hatred against liberals for the past 3 decades. I'm talking about Fox News' inspiring murderers of Liberals well before anti-fa got publicity.

  I specifically said and have to bother quoting myself:

  That is false. I'm saying that the right wing instigated this and has been responsible for inspiring several murders of Liberals and policemen long before the anti-fa was even on the media's radar;
  

  Being on the media's radar has nothing to do with how long they or their predecessors have been around. They could have been around for a thousand years for all it matters. They simply were not known because they were not active in the public arena.

  kpop,

  You are purposely attempting to spin this as if violent alt-right neo-Nazi protestors came to start a fight with peaceful, loving Antifa thugs.
  

  That is false. I'm saying that the right wing instigated this and has been responsible for inspiring several murders of Liberals and policemen long before the anti-fa was even on the media's radar; before any violence on the 'left' occurred. Right wingers have also initiated armed confrontations (like the one I posted above).

  Also, as I brought up before as an analogy, right wingers are like the bully that keeps punching and punching his victim. When the victim finally punches back the bully says "You see, you see, that's why you need to be punched!"
