  Do You Believe The News Media Is Trustworthy?

  recently a friend and i were having a conversation about the news media.

  he is a democrat but he’s also a very reasonable person.

  i’ve known him for many years.

  I don't think it's a black and white issue. News outlets do spin any story to fit the bias of their main views. That is why I find it important to investigate all sides of a story and come to my own conclusion. Of course this takes time and there is not enough time to do this for 100% of the news.

  One thing I do know for a fact. The first thing cult leaders do, is to tell you not to look at any information or material that makes the cult leader or group look bad. It's all lies they say!
  

  I find it somewhat hypocritical to paint 'News Media' with a broad brush of not being 'trustworthy' while defending a president who lies almost every time he opens his mouth.

  @lv101 - I concede that the assault ban studies showed mixed results and more time would be needed for accurate proof either way.

  When President Clinton banned assault weapons and limit high-capacity magazines in 1994 there was a big drop in mass shooting deaths. When President Bush allowed the ban to expire, they rose again.

  Sure, Trump bares some responsibility, not ALL and not NONE, but some responsibility that would be difficult to quantify. Words do matter.

  I think Trump does bare 100% responsibility for rolling back Obama-era regulation that would add anyone receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses to be added to the national background check database.
  

  Who thinks it's a good idea to have folks with enough mental illness to collect disability checks should be allowed easy access to guns? Not me!

  If I have to listen to the people in the apartment next door have sex, then Alexa should have to listen to me have sex too!

  If You Criticize A Person of Color Are You A Racist?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  seriously, it’s getting to a point that you can’t make a negative comment about someone without being charged as a racist, homophobe or sexist!

  if you criticize a female, you are obviously sexist.

  if you criticize someone who happens to be gay, you must hate homosexuals.

  Trump railed about the country's direction for 8 years Obama was in office. Should he have left or Shush?

  Slavery - ancient

  by joey jojo in

  i have been listening to podcasts by dan carlin and his excellent series on persia and the spartans, called king of kings.. its a refreshing way to hear unbiased accounts of history, untainted by religious beliefs.. a part of the podcast dealt with the jews but it put into perspective their place in world history and events.

  pretty much just another tribe- sometimes rebellious, allowed to exist under the rule of a major power, allowed to worship their own gods exactly like the other tribes around them.. another part that caught my interest was the account of slavery and it made me think about the way wt and other christian religions have tried to reconcile the idea that it was ok in those days for jews to own slaves because they had laws to protect the slaves.. the podcast made me realise a lot of apologists of slavery obviously forget how a person becomes a slave in the first place.

  apologists like wt say it was ok because it was part of the economy and the way life was, which totally skips over the important part.. after a war, when most of the men were killed or wounded on the battlefield by the winning side, whoever was left, men, women and preferably young virgins, were taken back to the homeland of the victors and sold at the slave markets.

  The god of the bible could have banned slavery or shellfish.

  He choose shellfish.

  That's all I need to know about the god of the bible!

  david can't xsplane of the gibbering body is urging jw's to go out in field serve-us today to target their bible studies, return visits, and inactive jw's for a second time with the invitation to the annual rejection of christ - just in case they've "forgotten the date" or "lost their invitation.

  go to 1 minute 45 seconds for the marketing speech.. https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/webhomeslider/pub-jwb_201904_14_video.

  could the cult's hierarchy be fearing reduced attendances this year - especially of "interested ones"?.

  No invitation for me, of the fader class. I guess they have finally written me off.

  This would be a real scandal if Top Shelf Tony would have purchased a dozen cigars at the same time.

  The booze could be gifts for others. We really don't know. It could be a years supply. We really don't know.

  What do we really know from this video? Tony is a fat fVck who obviously spends little to no time trying to stay fit.
