  Diane Abbott XD

  diane abbott has often given me moments of amusement throughout the years.. whenever i'm feeling depressed, 30 mins of watching her varied gaffes on youtube usually cheers me up.. the following is a clip from this week (feb 2008) in which she seems to wonder out loud whether mao did more good than harm.

  it's great to hear michael portillo's initial reaction ("whaaat!

  ") and then watch him and andrew neil belly-laugh at diane abbott's comments at the end of the clip.. perhaps she'd been at the blue nun xd.

  Abbott and Corbyn were lovers back in the day - what a horrendous mental image that is!

  McDonnell is a self-confessed Marxist.

  China is the most realistic and relevant alternative. Which is scary from a western perspective because they don't seem to share our notions of individualism and freedom. - SBF

  China is an enemy of freedom and democracy. Anybody who sees China as a "realistic and relevant alternative" to Western liberal democracy is a useful idiot.

  The free world should be eternally grateful that the USA carries a big stick.

  she's had better judgment than those two when it counts

  Defending Mao should permanently disqualify her from public office.

  She is either a monster or suffering from an astonishing degree of ignorance.

  Abbott lacks the intelligence, knowledge and judgement that ought to be essential to some degree in any senior politician.

  Her comment regarding Mao was outrageous. Her debacle over the costs of additional police officers was hilarious.

  She will continue to succeed regardless under the protection of her former lover Corbyn.

  Need blood? Save your life, here's why.

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  so here's the point regarding blood transfusions.

  notice jesus asks the pharisees if it was lawful on the sabbath to save a life.

  so, can you break god's law to save your life if it came to that?

  That's a good question. I would say no he did not, because he fulfilled it - LTPF

  So if Jesus didn't break the sabbath law does that not negate your argument in the OP?

  LTPF - Going back to your OP...

  Did Jesus break the sabbath law or not?

  I think the ransom sacrifice doctrine is central to most Christian denominations

  Not in anything like the same way as JW doctrine. In fact if you say 'Jesus' ransom' to most xtians they will wonder what you are talking about.

  If you ask any xtian 'why did Jesus have to die?' the name of Adam will not be part of the answer.

  It is this doctrine that most clearly separates xtians from JWs.

  Christians do not understand Jesus' death in the same way as JWs.

  Put simply, JWs believe that Jesus died for Adam's sin; xtians believe he died for their own sins.
