  ARMAGEDDON

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  can i ask please especially for all who are pomo?.

  we've taken a decision similar to revelation 18:4 to get out of the watchtower and not share in its sins.. how many of you still believe that god will one day terminate the world's many systems by means of an armageddon?.

  "Christians won't be here on earth for this event, (having already been raptured)"
  
  Makes perfect sense.

  law makers in the us want to pass laws that apply the first amendment of the us constitution to social media forums such as tiktok and youtube that have banned poster for speech and content violations.. in the us, 1a usually applies unhindered to traditional public forums (such as sidewalks and parks) with restrictions only as to time place and manner..

  Ron DeSantis: "We do not require assistance. The people of Florida will rebuild on our own"

  as if.no, of course he's already asking for federal aid.

  it's the republican way.

  florida needs the rest of the country to pitch in taxpayer dollars because it's different when it happens to me.

  "Also, you claim civil rights were a problem in the south, look up which party did that. The party of the KKK, the party that opposed civil rights bills in the senate that had been proposed since the 1940s, certainly not the party of Abraham Lincoln"
  
  I'm aware of the unholy alliance within the democratic party and the 'solid south' post civil war. I'm also aware that after 1964 those same voters became overwhelmingly Republican. In every election since. And the Republicans were happy to court their votes.
  
  Continuing to call yourself "the party of Lincoln'" is like a Cleveland Browns fan bragging on how great their team is because they won the 1964 NFL League championship. The current team is not the same players, management or even game really.

  Will Ukraine win?

  by Fisherman in

  i was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.

  seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.

  no guess how it will all end..

  "Here is a take on the war from Canadian You tuber. He has some good insight on this war."
  
  'Good insight' if you happen to be a paranoid nutter.
  
  Scrolling his channel, he's kooky 'prepper' who's spent nearly a decade telling people to build tripwires around their compound and stock up on dried food and ammo.
  
  I suppose these types will have the last laugh if there ever is a global nuclear war or zombie outbreak, but it's more likely they'll reach the age of 80, look around, and realize all they have to show for their time on earth is a cellar full of shitty dried food and 100,000 rounds of moldy ammo spilling out of every closet.

  "It's funny when people spaz out over Trump ('literally Hitler', lol)."

  
  

  True. An alternate timeline where Oswald Mosley became PM would be a better comparison.

  "Everything else is left to state and local governments. In this scenario New York and Mississippi can deal with their problems as they see fit."
  
  
  Yeah, worked wonderfully between 1865 and 1964.
  
  But seriously. Nothing about civil rights for example appears in that list. Was that the Federal Government overstepping the exact words in the constitution? Should we have just marched on for all eternity as if Article 1 section 8 were handed down by god himself?

  "Obviously Republicans opposed this straight up political favoritism and government handouts disguised as aid".
  
  "Straight up" is not the word you are looking for. The correct word is "imaginary".
  
  Here is an interesting article detailing what actually happened in 2012.
  
  Also, Gov. Christie claimed 37 Billion in New Jersey, not 65.

  "Is it me, or does that map show that around half of all Americans are crammed into the northeast? We really did a shitty job of dispersing."
  
  I watched an interesting short documentary on YouTube recently about how 80% or about 250 million Americans live East of the 100th meridian.
  
  
  
  
  The other 20% of 'Westerner's" live on a fairly narrow band along the Pacific Ocean, with the exception of Las Vegas and Phoenix, AZ.
  
  I knew the western US was empty but didn't grasp just how empty. Anyways, the documentary went into how the Sierra Nevada's and Rocky Mountains act as a wall to incoming weather systems off the Pacific and therefore why those areas are so sparsely populated and why the few population centers that do exist rely on spring snow melt from said mountain ranges for their water supply.
  
  Still not nearly as empty as Australia, where a population of only 25 million lives on a land area almost as big as the lower 48
