fauxlaw

Justice Alito of the Supreme Court asked one of the the plaintiffs, K.R. Hartnett, if she had a definition to distinguish boys/men and girls/women. She replied, "We do not have a definition," which reminded me of a similar Q&A between Sen. Marsha Blackburn [R-TN] and Justice Ketanji Jackson's S.C. confirmation hearing in the Senate in 2022 when asked for a definition replied "I can't." The question is very basic, but the transgender claims have become so convoluted, its proponents are left with a void because at the root of their argument is that there are but two human gametes, female and male, and even they, as a single cell of two biologically. distinct entities, can express no other gender but binary as a result of conception. So, the T-crowd must employ re-definition, wordsmithing, which is not biological [language is not a necessary component of life like respiration or reproduction], to define gender. Nope, not the way it works, boys and girls.

Easy to do.

Capture a locust.

Wrap it in aluminum foil.

Toss it into a fire.

Roast for 15 minutes.

Remove.

Allow to cool a few minutes [long enough to allow handling]

Unwrap and eat.

Nothing in Christianity is Torah based

Nothing but the entire foundation of Christian dogma. The Torah, however, on its own, is incapable of performing the redemption of man from death. It was never meant to perform that act. The Torah is a preparatory step on the path to achieve redemption from pain and suffering and death; to be redeemed from these limiting principles that would otherwise end our existence at death. That redemption comes only be acceptance that Jesus is the Christ, the Redeemer, the Messiah. Those tied to the Torah were always looking for the Messiah, but came to look upon him as a savior from Babylonian, and, ultimately, Roman rule over them. They miss the point t that the Messiah has come, and has performed so much more than redemption from merely human politically oppressive empires.

The answer is really basic. Immortality means there is no lasting mortality, therefore, in layman terms, immortality means no death. No death, no reason to resurrect. No resurrection, no eternal life, because immortality with God is not a possible outcome without first being born into mortality. The necessity of a Savior was to redeem man from death, which would, without redemption, be everlasting death once mortal life ended. Our entire reason for existence at all is to ultimately live with God in his realm, which is immortal. A Savior was necessary to defeat death, and that sacrifice had to be by one who was totally sinless over his entire lifetime to fully meet the demands of eternal justice. We were never, and will never be capable of performing that ultimate sacrifice, even for ourselves.

a computer which worked for 5 years is statistically more likely to break down than a new computer.

Usually, that's true, but I own an original Mac from 1984, and it is still working perfectly. Slow by today's standards, but...

Once had a couple of Windows products, but they failed. I am broke on the pane of Windows. Press <start> to shutdown?

Bore me with constant questions if I really want to _____________ [fill in the blank] Let me make my mistakes for God's sake!

Turns out, "learing" is old Scot for training, But Scot amount to only 1% of the MN population, so there's likely no connection.

Apparently, you've never eaten a roasted locust. They're very tasty. Bro "paste;" all crunch. Don't know if roasting the critter eliminates the nutrition, but hey, I eat nutritious foods. About 80% of my diet is fresh food: fruit, veggies [much of these home-grown], fish, homemade bread.

8 billion humans is too many for an ecologically sustainable

Really? By what statistics? The total landmass of Earth is 149M km^2. We are 8B in population. Imagine if all 8B migrated to live on what is current, active agricultural land, about 58M km^2 [39% of Earth's total landmass, not including the added 10M km^2 arable land [capable of agriculture, but currently idle]. That is impractical, but just to make the point, imagine that migration. That leaves 91M km^2 of land totally void of human population, even our current urban area [3M km^2]. 58M km^2 is the equivalent of 1.8 acres of land for each of 8B of us [1.8 acres = 78,408 sq. ft.] Each person can survive annually with a vegetable/fruit garden of 400 sq ft.

The math says there's plenty of room by landmass for 8B people. We do not have a population problem. Our problem is poor land management and use. Our problem is greed.

you had to post it twice.

Nope, that's DCraft fixation

Well, I don't bother with any of all that, but my avatar is small enough to demonstrate the entire animal, not a full-face, avoirdupois Tabby [which is T?]

What was a flash of a video of. seconds w2as captured by people who have their eyes open longer than a fe3w seconds saw a rabid woman spend the morning being a fixated woman on a mission to prove her stupid lawlwssness and got shot for it, regardless of Ts.

And roughly 50% of Americans...

Since both the popular vote, which is meaningless, and the Electoral College vote, which was a landslide, elected the President, we're either an excessively stupid lot, as you can merely accuse, but do not ever bother to prove, or the man is merely accused of being

a charismatic white supremacist of dubious character

by a minority of excessively stupid people, because this president is only resolving petty conflicts all over the world, and the rest of the world sees that as a good performance of a US President, and the minority are fixated on being stupid because ignoring the good work is an epidemic.

As I said; fixated on Trump to the exclusion of just about everything else. Why can't you just let go?

Observing two separate phenomena and assuming there is a nexus.

Kind of like drawing three cones, of which two are identical, and assuming the third is also identical [the one in the center for the benefit of the myopic] is clearly using three additional, descriptive colors, and even occupies more space.

Does "fat" = "obese?" By the title and the post, you appear to use the two interchangeably when the title and the post use the terms mutually exclusively.

truly non-occupied space,

Where is there "truly non-occupied space?" It's all occupied, or does "non-occupied space" = true, absolute vacuum? I think that is non-extant.

Excellent suggestion. Go.

Neither do I know what anything has to do with cricket.

Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis, holding a press conference this morning, declaring that "...we must give the best representation nation of ourselves," and "Let's show up with peace" demonstrated those lofty sentiments by also declaring, to I.C.E., "Get the f**k out ofMinneapolis!"

That's his best representation of his peaceful self showing up? Really?

Best representation, or not, the Mayor has no authority over a federal agency to make that demand. Oops.

He's already sufficiently silenced Iran for now. They once thought they were relevant on the world stage. They don't rank community theater anymore.

"We," who? You and your windsock puppet? Just cannot ignore him, can you? Fixated?

I don't sere any indictment from the ICC; do you? All talk, no action. Until there is, you can shover that one up your arse. Stay on point, pls.

There are three key matters of US federal statue and US case law which support the action of the President, The Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, the DoJ, FBI and US Military to arrest, seize and extract Maduro, his wife, and son, on Venezuelan soil to bring them to the US under indictment for criminal acts against the US and its citizens.

They are:

18 USC § 3184 Extradition of fugitives from a foreign country

US v Alvarez-Machain 504 US 655 [1992] US Supreme Court

Kerr v Illinois 199 US 436 [1886] US Supreme Court

So, more than mere "dictionary" definition, which is, after all, merely a word list, and not the grammar or culture of a people, both of which are vital to understanding its brand of civilization.

You don't invade sovereign states just to arrest the President.

It's "president?" Was he, really, or just a dealer in illicit commodity?

And needing a genius? That is precisely what Biden was not, coddling Maduro like a petulant child. Maduro was twice the man Biden was, as evil as he was. Biden was too stupid to even be evil. There are people like that. M<aduro was too stupid to take advantage of a decent offer to leave on. his own terms, because he should have know, because of Iraq, and Iran, and, and, and, and, and, that Trump meant what he said: " you go, or I'll take you out."

That's beside the point that the exercise to indict and arrest Maduro was not intended to ultimately bury Venezuela, but Madura's hopes of continuing his own theft of the country's wealth as a criminal drug king, and not its benevolent leadership of the country, which leadership should have been to continue and increase its wealth and not his own. That's personal, criminal greed, not proper leadership. To kill the graft, first cut the snake's head, don't merely increase sanctions, which was Biden's perennial approach, ignoring the entire criminality of Maduro.

I am not arguing word definition, nor definition of definition. My argument is that definition includes context, about which you've said nothing, and which SatanLucy ignores.

However, your second point of "Establishing Parameters" is germane when considering its role in debate on this site, by offering definition in Description of keywords in a resolve; an act which several on this site habitually ignore to their peril because their debate ends yp being an argument off definition of those words. offering definition up front helps derail those3 arguments.

Venezuela was wealthy in 2014 too, reasonably.

That was just 11 years ago. Meaning that since we started sanctions against Venezuela 20 years ago, it was still a wealthy nation by its resource wealth. Nice wish balloon.

Does the sarcasm extend to dismissing history before you were born rather than researching that history? That's not sarcasm; that's absurdity.
