I heard Canada is getting some of that.

Welcome to the UK, where sharing a meme can get you arrested
by LoveUniHateExams iner, yes, i'm not kidding.
if you share anything deemed 'grossly offensive' online you will be standing in a court before a judge if someone is offended, wets their pants, and complains.. some policeman in devon shared a meme of george floyd (not particularly nice, but illegal?!
) in a whatsapp message to his mates, some of whom were coppers, some not.. and someone complained and he's been arrested.. first: yes, george floyd memes are highly likely to offend at least some people.

The last mass shooting in the U.K was many years ago, but it happened, despite certain laws being in place, we have tightened those here. Not one mass shooting since.
Just give it some time, Crazy people are being born every minute.
Also the UK only has 63 million people
USA has 328,000,000 people, but actually close to 400,000,000-----THAT'S 400 MILLION, since studies shows that about 20% don't fill out census or have actual citizen ship. And all these people come from different cultures, languages, races---etc.
Also the USA has between 600 million to ONE BILLION GUNS considering many Americans manufacture their own guns and refuse to report it.
So we had a shooting in One State yesterday. 10 people died. On the same day we had 11,000 BIRTHS, 10,000 Illegal immigrants enter the country,
meaning yesterday we had a PLUS 20,000--- THOUSAND MORE PEOPLE in the Country---- MINUS OTHER NATURAL DEATHS.
We have SEVERAL THOUSANDS MORE PEOPLE TO FEED TODAY.

Slimboyfat, I agree that the statement you highlighted was probably exaggerated. I don't recall anything official that declared that "hundreds of millions" of lives would be taken by COVID
President Biden, Nancy Pelosi, 3 medical experts that seem to have "Disappeared" also said 200 million would die and have died in the USA, but all these videos have been pulled out.I was lucky to find this one. I won't last long.

Doesn’t sound like a good idea to have guns in the house to me.
Having guns in my house saved my family's life 3 years ago. We had three intruders break into our house in the wee hours of the night. One of the kids forgot to set the alarm that night. Both my girl and I are competition shooters and we have a plan laid out for the whole family in case of a break in. As soon as we heard the glass break in the living room it took less than a minute for both my girl and I to put on our body armor, arm ourselves and head to the kid's bedroom. They sleep at the end of the house. To get to the end of the house you have to come through the fatal funnel.
All it took was ONE SHOT at the end of the funnel which hit a metal encased cabinet at the other end which was planned for that very purpose.
They ran like Rabbits.
We called the police and it took them 20 minutes to get there.
mickbobcat It doesn't look like the bill to remove all guns is going to pass in the Senate. There are several Democrats that love Guns and are not willing to have all the guns removed.

REMEMBER the BOSTON MARATHON BOMBER---------He's still alive and kicking. Enjoying 3 nutritious meals a day, a warm bed, Cable TV, and recreation time.
How long ago was this?
During the annual Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013, two homemade pressure cooker bombs detonated 14 seconds and 210 yards apart at 2:49 p.m., near the finish line of the race, killing 3 people and injuring hundreds of others, including 17 who lost limbs.
But wait, Why is he still alive?? Didn't he get the death penalty?
Yes, but there is big money in appeals. So some law firm appealed and won.
But wait, it doesn't end there. The DOJ during Trumps administration challenged the appeal and thus it's now going to the supreme court to review.
This may take anywhere from one to 10 years to decide. If the Supreme Court reverses the appeal and reinstates the death penalty then this man is done.
Or is he?
No so fast!
President Biden plans on making the Federal death penalty illegal.
So tax payers get ready to pay not only for free education, free medical to illegal immigrants, but also get ready to pay for 3 meals a day, a nice warm bed, Cable tv, free medical, and more, for all murderers, for the rest of their live.

LHG Edited to say ‘higher plane’
Thanks for that, after I posted, and read it over, I couldn't edit the blasted sentence. Didn't want to create a new post just for that.
Just Joking, I have nothing to do today so I'm just writing whatever to kill the minutes till everyone gets back.

Complexity, Evolutionists Biggest Problem
by Sea Breeze inrecently, some scientists modeled one of the simplest known cells - that of a bacteria.
it took an army of 128 computers running for 10 hours to process the data required in the 25 categories of molecules that are involved in this "simple cells'" life processes.
think about that for a moment - 128 computers running for 10 hours just to compute the data, not actually do it mind you; but just to model the known processes in one of the simplest known cells, which is many orders of magnitude simpler than a human cell.

Complexity, Evolutionists Biggest Problem.........There literally isn't enough time in the universe to accomplish what Evolutionists propose.
You know SB, I'm probably the fly in the ointment on this site, I finally got my 2nd degree which is in Science, majored in Biology and took several classes in microbiology.
Yet I'm not a full fledged proponent of evolution. I consider it a good probability because it explains all the suffering and blood mayhem in the world.
I am at this moment more bent on intelligent design.
But hold on a moment----I know what you're thinking
I'm not saying I believe in an Omniscient, Omnipotent, Benevolent, "Being that" lives forever and ever.
I'm saying that perhaps some "Mortal Being or Beings" with a higher level of intelligence than humans at the moment of creation of life on earth---------are responsible for the life on earth.
Not because these Beings always existed, but because they lasted long enough to figure out how to arrange the DNA Sequences necessary for life.
We as a human species are on our way to learn the same thing if we make it that far without exterminating ourselves.
A lot of people in my generation actually hold this as a real possibility. We don't subscribe to the "Default Belief" of ONE GOD.
We distinguish between GOD and CREATOR!
We were born in a time when the Bible was accessible in many versions and free to read and investigate what it says without input from other humans.That's how we've come to the conclusion that the bible God is not what Christians say he is.
Ever seen the movie Prometheus? Bet they didn't have these type of movies in the 50s. Because people weren't there yet.
It wasn't until 1953, in Cambridge University scientists James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick announce that they have determined the double-helix structure of DNA, the molecule containing human genes.

Animal suffering, Christianity’s biggest problem.
by pistolpete inhuman life is infused with pain.. but animal life is “define by pain.. animals in the wild are subject to endless torment from all angles of their existence.
wild dogs disembowel their prey, venomous snakes cause slow internal bleeding and paralysis.
crocodiles drown large animals in their jaws.. and animals also suffer from rampant disease, dehydration, and starvation, and have to contend with forest fires and floods, harsh winters and blistering heat.

I have also been reading about Schopenhauer recently snd he’s another very thoughtful snd nuanced atheist. He argues that everything in the world is exactly as it must be.
I'm familiar with Schopenhauer, but I'm not familiar with his view that;
everything in the world is exactly as it must be.
Is he saying the same thing Alex is saying, that life has evolved just so? Or is he alluding to something else?

For the most part, the JW religion is diminishing and in another generation or less it will be a shadow of its former self and will either be a smaller online religion or it will go into obscurity like other American sects of the past.
The only thing I don't like about this idea, is that I won't have the opportunity to gloat on the faces of all those over-righteous pompous men and women who believed they were on a higher plane than the rest of us

Human life is infused with Pain.
But animal life is “Define by Pain.
Animals in the wild are subject to endless torment from all angles of their existence. Wild dogs disembowel their prey, venomous snakes cause slow internal bleeding and paralysis. Crocodiles drown large animals in their jaws.
And animals also suffer from rampant disease, dehydration, and starvation, and have to contend with forest fires and floods, harsh winters and blistering heat. And this is leaving out what humans do to add to the suffering of animals.
The number of wild animals is immense. And all of them are under the un-airing supervision of an All Powerful, All Loving God. Yet despite this, all of them likely experience more fear, devastation and suffering in their lifetime than we human-beings are even capable of imagining.
This is the problem Christians face. How can an All Powerful, All Loving God permit such insidious -unthinkable, levels of suffering?
The excuses made to defend God are just ridiculous.
Excuse number one by William Lane Craig, Christian Theologian;
Animals are part of a broader ecosystem in which the human drama is played out. Such ecosystem must be balance and it is no accident that every ecosystem must involve predators and prey.
For example, in Canada the absence of predators caused an overpopulation of Caribou herds because there was no one to pick off the diseased and aged, which in turn led to overpopulation, overgrazing, and starvation of many Caribou.
The authorities introduced wolves into the area and the Caribou started diminishing and the problem was solved because God made animal life this way so it would work.
Here is the problem.
Are we expected to believe that an All Knowing, All Powerful, God of love couldn’t have made these ecosystem laws differently? Is GOD CONSTRAINED BY THESE LAWS?
That’s the implication when they say the ecosystem MUST BE BALANCE THIS WAY.
In other words they are saying:
GOD COULDN’T CREATE AN ECOSYSTEM USING OTHER LESS PAINFUL METHODS!
Instead, why didn’t God limit the number of times animals reproduce preventing overpopulation.
Because the only way it will work is if God SAVES these animals from starving, by letting them being ripped apart and eaten alive by predators before they have a chance to starve.
That being the case, why don’t we follow God example! Today. There are millions of elderly sickly people all around the earth who are starving. Why not introduce wild Bears and hyenas to rip them apart, maul them to pieces, and eat them alive so we can save them from starvation and curb overpopulation.
Instead of making up all these excuses for GOD, let’s consider REALITY.
What would we expect to find if we assumed there is no GOD, and animals in nature were just randomly mutating and evolving and competing for resources WITH NO DIVINE GUIDANCE?
Well we would expect EXACTLY WHAT WE OBSERVE IN THE REAL WORLD----A MESSY BLOODBATH and a STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL.
And what would we expect to see if we assumed the existence of an ALL LOVING -ALL POWERFUL GOD?
THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE SEE TODAY.
Here is the video exposing the problem we must face.
