There are some really important lessons I learned from the bible that my parents should have taught me and did not.
The first of these is that the choice of partner is the most important decision I will ever make. Vastly more important than buying a house, which is a 30 year commitment in this market.
Another is that the purpose of marriage is so that children can have fathers. No more and no less. Without marriage kids don't have dads, and that is very, very bad for kids.
Third is that a good wife is a support system for her husband. She enables him to commit himself to his duties as a husband and father and optimize his behavior for productivity. This is often selfless and self sacrificing behavior for the wife, and it certainly isn't glamorous; but a wife's first priority should be the marriage and her second priority should be her husband. This is reciprocated. A good husband sacrifices for his family every single day.
None of this was in evidence with my family. None. My mother actively prevented me from learning the tells and behaviors of a high-quality woman, which turned out about how you would expect for me.
Kids do not understand the importance of relationships. The media etc. are constantly selling them the message that sex is meaningless. This really, really isn't true. Sex is terrifyingly powerful and should remain sacred for both men and women.
It honestly doesn't matter if God exists or not. I'll give you a case study.
There are two cars. One is fitted with Star Trek Shields and Inertial Dampeners etc. It is invulnerable to collisions. The other is wired with denotator switches and has a claymore mine mounted in the middle of the steering wheel. The slightest tap on another car will detonate the mine.
People will drive these cars differently.
People will also drive these cars differently if they believe the cars are so equipped. If the Star Trek stuff is fake and the Claymore mine is fake, the change in behavior will still occur as long as they remain convinced.
Christians believe in accountability. There is a man with a beard in the clouds writing down everything they do. At some point after they die they will have to face an account of their actions and decisions. Not only that, it is spelled out in very clearly what attitudes, behaviors, and actions are expected of them. They include: Submission to the Universe (the will of God), The practice of gratitude, honesty with all people, including self-honesty, forgiveness of the past rather than holding grudges, and to value sacrifice.
Even if there is no God or our understanding of god is wrong, Christianity is still the most useful belief matrix through which to view the world; especially from a community level.
I'll tell you something, women raised in a strong Christian tradition make much better wives. It isn't a magic cure for the flaws of women, but they are much more likely to be a virgin and to take their marriage seriously as a commitment made before god. That said, most western woman worship at the alter of feminism, no matter which church they attend, and so does their support group.
Christianity isn't perfect, but it is a quantum leap forward from the predecessor Judaism, which seems to be optimized for preserving tribal values and leads (fairly directly) to tribalism rather than integration.
Finally: Here is one for you.
Jews believe that religious practice is more important than faith. First you practice the ceremonies and values of Judaism, then as you grow older faith will follow. This is even more valid for Christians, especially if you are raising a family.
I've never heard a single person describe Hitler's motivation for his disgust for the Jews. Hitler Hates Jews is an axiom.
So, a straw man is where a weak or wrong version of your opponents argument is constructed so it can be dismantled, which appears (to idiots) to prove a point.
How is that done here? What is the weak argument being demolished?
At what point did the Jewish lead Socialists start the terrorist bombings while being sheltered by the other Jews in the ghetto?
Was that before or after the World Jewish Congress?
Universities can be closed.
I would say that it is a working holiday.
I agree that the Petrodollar has been fantastically useful to the USA. That said, the deal is that the USA lends its military might to grant stability and legitimacy to the ruling factions of the OPEC nations, in exchange they trade oil in greenbacks.
The USA don't need a corrupt, wasteful bureaucracy for that. The USA needs strong leadership and a capable and effective military.
The term you are looking for is: Processed Cheese-Like Food.
Not even kidding.
I am an Aussie, but I did go to school for a while in Arizona. The hot lunches were always a highlight of my day.
They did serve pizza like this once a week, and it was pretty good.
Not ... actual pizza. I was taught to make pizza in the Sicilian style by an Italian who was a (locally) famous pizza chef. This is not that. It isn't even New York style pizza.
But it is pretty good for what it is.
This is really the chance to purge the ranks of the RINOs. So many republican politicians are bought and paid for by special interest groups. Time to clear them out.
Quick, bring out the equations that show that barefoot and pregnant enhance their cooking power!
That is pretty spot on.
Dom is a faggot too, but you are my favorite.
I am sure that many institutions in Israel receive truckloads of money from the US taxpayer.
This document doesn't show that.
You don't give a tiny fuck that you are using lies to prove your point. So we are done. Go masturbate to some gas chamber porn or something.
I'd rather hang out with an unrepentant massive faggot who tells the truth than a paragon of virtue who says whatever they can to "win".
Fuck glowies, and fuck the conpro cocksuckers too.
Look, twat, I'm willing to be convinced that Jews, as a group, are unalloyed evil. But if you rely on cherry-picking and scream and cry when people point out that your arguments are lies, then you've lost me.
I will not entertain lies, no matter how comforting or convincing they are. The truth is my sword and shield, and I will know the world as it is or fucking die trying.
It isn't cool when Marxists tell whatever lie is expedient to their cause. It isn't somehow better when you knowingly support lies to see Jews fed into the ovens. I just don't care.
Remember when our watchword used to be: "Trust but verify"?
I do.
Now you get mad when people point out that lies are being told? Or you only like the right kind of lies? Told by the right people? For the right reasons?
When did we decide that the end justified the means?
I'd dipped out before then. Drinker did an interview with a couple directors of a big budget flick that bombed. It was pretty clear he was pulling his punches and lobbing them softballs so he could get the scoop on the behind the scenes stories.
At that point I decided he was access media. He is better than most, but yeah... his strength is that he brings some luke-warm red pill takes to the Normies.
Gary from Nerdrotic has been very clear that he doesn't do interviews. He has referred to people who compromise their values for access as "star fuckers", and I can't disagree.
Mauler is my favorite, but his frame-by-frame analysis is often hard to take. I know why he does it, but gosh it takes a long time. He spots inconsistencies and will put wokness under the microscope. For example, he was ruthless with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but still said it was an enjoyable movie, which it is.
Both Mauler and The Little Platoon elevate every panel that they are on.
I'll go check out SintheticMan. Thank you for the recommendation.
I point out that there could have been a bullet on the scene much, much faster than that.
So good that you are going to hire him to babysit your kids, right? Put your money where your mouth is.
Dropping a small, dead animal into the well was pretty effective too. The gut microbes would foul the water very effectively. Bonus points for using stones etc. to weigh down the carcass to stop it being recovered and removed.
Gizortnik's support of the Zionist message and its key tenants is almost axiomatic.
Every time I think he has an insightful take on something, he almost instantly follows up by trumpeting a list of talking points that might as well have arrived by fax from Mossad. It is utterly predictable.
Gizortnik is the smartest drooling retard I've ever met.
We actually have a world class faggot who may share his insights with us.
Hey @DomitiusOfMassilia is the faggotry of KCD 2 too intense, even for you? Or are you going to play it?
Salt is literally the cheapest flavoring agent. It is the one seasoning it costs almost nothing to add.
It is the acquired taste of utter poverty that has become a cultural point of pride.
Just be aware that Catholicism is an inferior branch of Christianity, from a historical and sociological perspective. We can discuss why if you care.
But I'll point out that South America was settled by Catholics, and Catholicism is the dominant faith. They are poor as shit, despite having about the same distribution of natural resources as the USA.
The USA was settled by Protestants and is, comparatively, rich and peaceful.
IMNHO it is largely the Spanish influence on the Catholic faith. I will discuss why, if you care.
