  California to ban sales of fossil fuel cars in 15 years

  by mickbobcat in

  this will never work but liberals are too stupid to know it.

  first off all you have to do is cross the border and buy a car.

  if they will not let you license it in the state then many will license it out of state.

  “There is nothing on the horizon that replaces fossil fuel.”

  When we were captives of the JW cult it was understandable that so many of us were ignorant and uneducated given the cult’s position on education, but to remain so after leaving the cult is both foolish and suggests that they still control our lives.

  Seriously, leave the cult—not just physically, but also mentally—and learn to think and distinguish scientific facts from ignorant and foolish nonsense.

  An uninformed statement such as the one I quoted above can easily be disproved in about 90 seconds.

  You Know You're A Jehovah's Witness When...

  you know you're a jehovah's witness when.... being offered a scholarship to a good university is considered a bad thing.. when you see a house you like you claim it for after your god kills the owner.. you recieve spiritual guidence from a bus driver and a window washer.. you're engaged to a person you only met 3 months ago.. your widowed mother is marrying a man she met at the convention who she's known for 2 weeks.. there's jehovah's witnesses meeting in your house on a saturday morning to talk about going out knocking on doors on a saturday morning.. a lie in on a weekend happens about twice a year.. you dont talk to your own parents/children because they have a different opinion about a magazine.. you're not quite sure what you're supposed to believe anymore.. when someone criticizes your a magazine you feel like you're being attacked.. your 3yo son owns a suit.. if you're not married by the age of 30 you're considered to be gay or something wrong with you.. (for girls) if you havent married the first or second person you've dated you're considered promiscuous or something wrong with you.. you get your scientific knowledge from a magazine written by people who've never been to college and have never actually read the source they claim to be citing.. you get excited if there's a storm or natural disaster.. you get excited when there's a terrorist attack.. you get excited when there's a pandemic.. your version of tinder is the lunch break at a convention.. your girlfriend dresses like her grandmother.. your grandparents, despite being in the same religion as you, died believing totally a different belief system..

  some past punishments were finger and foot removal.

  SB: Can we stop quoting M.L.K. as if his word is somehow law...

  The only “law” referenced in the MLK quote I posted is the cruel and barbaric Mosaic Law from the Torah. And the part of the quote I highlighted was actually MLK riffing on a phrase usually attributed to Mohandas Gandhi.

  I’m curious to hear why you are bothered by King’s explanation of Gandhi’s pithy commentary on the absurdity of this particular part of the Mosaic Law?

  In 2016, Mitch McConnell refused to let the Senate consider Barack Obama's SCOTUS nominee, Merrick Garland, saying it is wrong for the president to name a new justice before an election.

  Will he say the same thing about Trump naming a new justice now?

  “Violence as a way of achieving . . . justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert.” — Martin Luther King Jr. in his book “Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story” (1958)

  This just in from Flipper, he asked me to post the following on this thread in response to your concern, and so I am posting it verbatim:

  "Please kindly tell [the posters on this thread] that Flipper really appreciates their care, kindness, and concern, but I'm unable to post right now."

  Flipper's fine.

  I've talked to him on the phone recently—I too was curious about his notable absence.

  He made it very clear that he is extremely frustrated and disappointed by the notable change in the general atmosphere of this board from years ago.

  I encouraged him to not read or respond to the threads he finds controversial and/or upsetting, but that's just not him.

  You may have noticed that he returned for a while and has once again departed, which is a shame I think because he contributed much in a positive way to this forum.

  His absence is obviously felt by many here, as this thread demonstrates.
