Yes...We've been promised a severe winter every year since the last severe winter...Which was quite a while ago....So the odds must be shortening.

But the Muslims don’t have a promised Messiah, they only have a prophet like Moses.
Make believe is as make believe does Debs.
I have a promised massage by a cute Thai lady.
And Muslims have got all those virgins waiting, so why would they be jealous of a gay Messiah?

I'm guessing that his real name was Alberto Morrisio.

Mathematically, no. Mass of 2 is not greater than mass of zero. If it truly were greater, we would know how many times greater.
But sadly, there is no number two times greater than zero.
Hmmm...You didn't quite get it.
All religious methods of mass subjugation rely upon trickery...Or rather the indoctrination of misinformation.
SatanLucy wrote:
Which number is two times greater than zero?
Math is math, is a derived method of intellectual reasoning, and is either applied accurately or inaccurately..."Truth" is inappropriate.
In terms of mass, any mass is greater than no mass..."2 times" is irrelevant.
Nonetheless, an increase in mass can be reasoned and measured mathematically.

Yes.
Serfs often felt better with the proper king in charge.
Yep...And the revolting ruskies got rid of their tsarist tyrant and eventually replaced him with Vladimir Lenin.
As I always say, all government is more or less tyrannical, and some tyrannies can be a lot more brutal than others.
Hey Shoresy.
Are U.S. Republicans actually socialists, are U.S. Republicans actually democratic...Well I'm guessing that most are.
So why did they turn against their wannabee tyrannical leader...Well I'm guessing that Trump et al, somewhat stank of what was once laughably promoted as communism.
You are erroneously conflating 19th and 20th century bourgeoise authoritarianism dressed up as communism, with 21st century left wing democratic libertarianism.
Easy mistake to make I suppose, if one obligingly takes propaganda at face value and therefore fails to read between the lines.
It has to be said that Planet Earth was an amazing Universal occurrence and that coal and other subterranean resources were too....Obviously predating ManGod by billions of years, but nonetheless thought provoking in creation and evolutionary terms...So if we extrapolate from this thought, then intellectual miners and industrialists would be a necessary evolutionary development thereof.

Arresting is state kidnapping.
Execution is state murdering.
See the difference?
Arresting is arresting.
Execution is execution.
State is a social collective, that variously attempts to promote social order and relative ethics.
Arbitrarily terminating a life warrants arrest.
Execution is terminating a life.
Therefore execution is a massive contradiction of relative social ethics.
Strictly speaking "a child" is a separate post natal organism.
Whereas a foetus is an attached post embryonic developing organism, to which the word "child" is often applied erroneously.
Placing such trust in the hands of a potentially unscrupulous individual of unknown character is certainly a leap of faith.

The Passage (NIV)
“And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.’” — John 20:22-23
You do realise that all this New Testament verses stuff was made up years later, don't you?

Are you sure they are "documentaries" and not just Nunsploitation Movies like "Tits a wonderful life", "Good Will Humping", and "Pulp Friction"?
Hmmmm...Seems we have similar tastes in online educational services provision.

12% on a million will be 120,000. That should be enough for the average person.
Would be plenty for a sensible thoughtful person.
But how likely is Miss or Master Average to be sensible and thoughtful.
Big house, top of the range EV, exotic holidays plus all the other necessary modern trimmings and the 1 million is gone in a snort of coke.
So scale the hypothetical down to realism, and that is why billionaires are few and hand to mouthers are the whinging majority.
Success at all levels still requires application, hard work, common sense and diligence.

I would say, that the above is a categorically incorrect statement...I would suggest that wanton materialistic capitalists choose not to breed...Whereas the bottom tier will keep churning them out, as will the religiously and culturally oppressed.
Doesn't that prove that GOD doesn't exist?
If it could proven that a God did exist, then your question would be unnecessary...As it stands I would also categorically disagree and say that there is no direct correlation between your primary assertion and your secondary.
I'm feeling categorical today.
Bullshit and sense, clever stupid.
Look no further, one is still the President of the USA.
Which goes to show that bullshit and sense can achieve great things.
Yes it was nice to see crowds of genuinely exuberant and happy people celebrating, rather than the crowds of mindless drooling numpties in red hats that we have become accustomed to of late.
Anyway, Donald was very pleased with his pool and his ballroom.
And faith in the American people is cautiously being restored.
What we need now is a total end to clown politics, though I'm guessing that Coco ain't going to bow out just yet.
Well, entertainment as a generalisation, loosely meaning brain stimulation via sensory input, so covers just about every input source and it's content, that will stimulate a response...So irrespective of the content one will be entertained, therefore to ignore content warnings is to seek entertainment...So to go further, one would suggest that content advice warnings are as much an encouragement to some people, as they might be a discouragement to others.
So, was it factually necessary to show the catastrophic final events of nine people on TV?...Or was it actually just macabre mass entertainment?
Isn't ones internal reaction to a chosen entertainment an inevitable and therefore necessary outcome?

We are all inherently selfish and discriminatory, and "friend" though relative is nonetheless an ephemeral accolade we apply to others when we are not discriminating negatively about them...I prefer to regard others as more or less reliable associates.
Unconditional love is perhaps only relevant in respect of familial bonds, though the term "unconditional love" is really just a cliche.
So, I suppose I have 99% trust in my wife and daughters...Other than that, trust will decline increasingly, relative to the mutual necessity of the association.
Yep great stuff, but my primary question remained unanswered, because you preferred to elaborate my secondary question for dramatic purposes.
So should the dramatic death of a family be aired on TV and social media as entertainment?...Because there was nothing factually necessary for the wider audience to gain, only macabre entertainment, which by definition is obviously enjoyed as such....Aren't "Feeling the terror" and "It was painful to watch" just facile justification for your enjoyment of the macabre...In all honesty, it was aired on BBC news and I saw it, and I was neither pained nor terrorised...I made a flippant comment to my wife and carried on eating my dinner....In fact, news programmes tend to be mostly a series of macabre clips and details of crashes, murders, rapes, bombings and general human anguish, finished off with an obligatory feel good article...Vital information or temporary entertainment?
