One of the problems with trying to control people with a phony made up religion is the minions will turn on heresy, as they are taught to. Why is that a problem?
Since your fake religion is based on lies you can only change the lies carefully, smoothly. Or else you will get lynched by your acolytes when you change the dogma.
And now the New York Times finds itself claiming high ideals to defend against the back lash from an editorial that mildly questions The Holy Cause.
If I believed for an instant they were honest about their statement I would heap praise on them. I don't.
Instead I question why they don't fire the apparently lone conservative writer. There's stuff here we don't see and I think it might be important.
Kansas. Man cons women into fake porn movie rehearsals. Blackmails those who complain they weren't paid by sending porn of them to work & family.
If the check bounces it's rape. Life in prison with no parole is my vote. Second choice is tattoo "f $#/ Allah I'm a transsexual" on their face and give them to ISIS.
Omaha. Man calls dating service and has hookers strip on porch of people across street while he masturbated. Hookers don't get paid, folk in house harassed by pimps.
For years.
Hmmmm. I got a roommate for jerk #1.
2 weird sex jerks in middle America. The Coasts are not alone in kinky madness.
I'm sure there's more but we only read about it when it's out of ordinary. Ordinary sex slaving and bad kink never gets the front page unless it's a politician.
If the check bounces it's rape. Life in prison with no parole is my vote.
Seriously? So every guy who's lied to a girl for sex is a rapist? Why is writing a bad check for rent a misdemeanor but writing one to a hooker a capital offense? Both are business transactions. What dumb hooker or customer would even consider anything other than cash (or controlled substance)?
It still isn't rape. The guy's mistake was promising payment instead of just saying he was taking the "audition" tapes to producers for review where they then had the possibility of being hired - which of course they didn't. Hard to believe these women thought they were making a porno that would presumably be found on the internet and then got upset when employers or boyfriends were informed. I don't think they had a reasonable expectation of privacy but, then again, the dude is going to jail. As for the ladies, I don't have much sympathy for stupidity or greed (deciding to make money off something that they're already giving away).
Alas, a few yards of snow in May, in Colorado, does not mean that your consumption of beef isn't dooming the planet to slay us all when the seas rise and boil, the teachings of The Prophet Gore.
Actual science does means that is bogus.
We had some snow in the hills here last week. ( I may have had some in my yard but it was just frost when I got up. ) 80f today. 50 tomorrow. Ah! Spring.
Maybe this belongs in the Media Evil thread. Parents kill baby by starving it to death. After buying fake internet/medical scare science and applying modern voodoo.
Press screws up reporting by layering on more fake science that conned parents into killing own baby.
I think Chelsea has a point here. The Climate Change movement, like child marriage, is a long term oppression of people by evil men who seek to control others with inhumane rules.
There are even more connections than Chelsea cited. ( she cited none, but I'll be happy to )
The Climate Con folk's oppression affects children and the poor most. Ditto child marriage.
Both are based on obsolete notions of science.
The male centric arranged child marriage is a means to control reproduction. With pre-medieval technology you do that by controlling the girl. Lock her away from men. Use her as a bargaining chip in politics and business. Legal mandates on movement and access. Property, and thus slavery, are still women's status through a growing percentage of the world. ( as Islam grows )
Likewise Global Warming movement seeks to make the peasants property and control their population and movement. The anti-children and anti-SUV aspects of Green propaganda are just facets of the multi level marketing scam meant to control and enslave.
Senator Coal Country is of course biased. He's also right.
The Global Warming movement allows & encourages death by smog in China. Screw clean air. Screw clean water. Who cares how many peasants die choking to death? All that matters is power from fear and stealing from the primary source of wealth on the planet. Working Americans.
The cost to citizens for the Global Warming movement is projected in the Trillions going from working people to the rich. Not one penny of which will save one life from actual pollution.
Masking the neo-Marxist theft of wealth that is the reality and real reason for Global Warming as saving the planet from pollution leaves the real thing to kill real people.
The cry "Wolf" when done as a lie to steal for over 30 years now means an entire generation knows nothing about real dangers to life. Fake religious persecution, that, they've been trained in. Actually cleaning up pollution? Science fiction.
How to teach students stuff their parents don't believe in.
What happened to the separation between Church and State?
I won't even get into Common Core and telling children not to tell their parents about what goes on in class. ( Gay affirmation classes, Inform on your parent's political beliefs, Tell us how many guns Daddy has, the list goes on )
the girl shows the NASA graph with the "hockey stick" and doesn't seem to be aware of the faked data
no mention of the lack of the scientific method regarding higher CO2 and some warming happening at the same time, with no acknowledgement of previous warm periods without horrible capitalist industry.
The guy hikes in Idaho for 13 years and somehow has the knowledge that similar changes absolutely didn't happen in previous times? I realize he is a skeptic and probably was misquoted.
