  in the us, our mega millions lottery jackpot has reached over 1billion dollars!

  what would you do if you won?

  i think i’d run public service announcements on television, alerting people of the dangers of the wt cult, among other things.

  One half he would spend on booze, cars and loose women.
  The other half he would just fritter away.

  I think George Best say that.

  My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

  by Sea Breeze in

  a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

  wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

  that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

  The big bang is just a theory, the best current explanation for the existence of the universe

  Even if that theory is shown to be without merit, that doesn't automatically mean that your theory that it was magic is real either.

  Just like the scientists, you are going to have to show your evidence that a grand wizard pulled the universe out of a hat.

  To be fair, they really mean nobody will do vile things after the 1000 years period.

  It's always been common knowledge that during the 1000 years, the resurrected will be weeded out based on transgressions.

  Can't let a crisis go to waste.

  The WT and other religious nutcases have benefited from the fact the the writers of the goat herders manual, were so vague about the predictions that they can be used for anything.

  There will be "fearful sights". Oh really? Is there anything terrible that can't be applied to that?

  "There will be earthquakes in some places".... oh ok. Want to give us more detail goat herder? What day and time, and where? Then your prediction can have some teeth.

  Here I can make a prediction that is just as impressive:

  Oh ye of little faith, there will be plane crashes in the future..... Now, I won't tell you when, where, how many or any other details. Just remember to give me credit when the next one happens.

  The Bible records resurrections and there is other evidence

  Fairy tale accounts by middle eastern goat herders are not evidence. And there is no other evidence, so no, i don't believe it.

  Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!

  i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.

  it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.

  plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

  The “viability” argument isn’t viable. I can take a sampling of modern humans, drop them in the wilderness and they are no longer “viable.” That doesn’t mean their lives aren’t important.

  Sorry, but that's a really silly argument.

  In any case, this is not about viability. This is about trying to figure out the point where a piece of living tissue has developed enough features that we would normally associate it with calling someone an individual.

  Btw, I just saw an add on TV where Newsom is saying that they will welcome people from all states in Cali where they can seek "reproductive care".

  "Reproductive care"? Notice the branding here. It almost seems women can't go to the doctor in that medicine area at all. It's infuriating how every issue under the sun has to be sanitized with some PC language. Nothing can be called what it really is anymore.

  Everybody has to pretend something is slightly better than what is it, as if there is shame in calling it abortion. If you pro abortion, then be proud and call it abortion.

  Calling it "pro-choice" is similar. Another attempt at sanitizing it. As if people are forced to have abortions at gun point, and not really choosing to have one in the first place.

  If one is against all abortions no matter what.

  In my experience, the people who are against all forms of abortion are typically religious nuts and ideologues. These are the people that claim that a second after conception, some magical spirit enters the fertilized egg.

  Most rational people understand that there is a difference between living tissue and an individual. And most rational people understand that the line between going from living tissue to an individual is not perfect. Is it 15 weeks? 20? 25? it can be debated, but it certainly isn't 1 second after conception and it's not 1 second before birth.

  Mostly hysteria.

  This is the right decision. Abortion is not a constitutional right, that's basically the decision. The decision is not about the merits of abortion itself.

  The supreme court doesn't and shouldn't write law, so now the decision goes back to the people, the way it should be.

  Most states will continue to allow abortions for the first 2 - 3 months which seems reasonable. Perhaps a few will ban it completely.

  In the state I live in, abortion will be allowed into the third trimester, which is absolutely ridiculous. Here, you really are killing a baby.

  "Somebody" needs to do "Something!"

  it's always unjustifiable for a country to attack another country without having first been attacked itself.. the nuremberg trials at the end of wwii made this clear.. more vividly too: following orders as a patriotic duty is never secondary to the pangs of your personal conscience.. .

  worst of all, hypocrisy destroys credibility when you.

  criticize other countries for doing what you have done.. .

  The US used the same excuses for invading Iraq in 2003. They claimed Iraq was developing nuclear weapons just as Putin claimed Ukraine was developing nuclear weapons.

  Oh you mean the Iraq that had invaded a sovereign country without provocation year earlier? You are really going to defend an illegitimate government who brutalizes its people and terrorizes its region? Now, I was not in favor of the Iraq war, but again, this is false equivalency.
  

  How sweet no to invade your allies.

  If by allies you mean democratic countries, then..... yes I'm ok with that.
