Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

I am assuming ... Engage with what people actually say, not what u assume they are saying. Ask for clarification if they didn't say what you thought they should have said. Fine. If it makes you happy, let's engage with John Hurt's actual words see if that changes anything: John Hurt is incorrect wh...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Practically every other single bridge in the history of the US was made by the government. With very few exceptions such as the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. Why do you assume this one specifically will be a disaster or fiasco? I think the most recent big bridge reconstruction was the I-35 bridge i...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

So the answer is "No, JohnHurt did not claim that there were Confederate units filled with black soldiers." And I did not claim HE used those specific words. I claimed it was an an old historic southern myth that has long since been debunked by many historians. Do not take another's state...

Re: War in Gaza

Has there ever been a war in which a major country has supplied military aid to a country that is going after a common enemy (and destroying a lot of infrastructure and many civilians in the process), while at the same time offering aid to surviving civilians of that state? (on a scale like we curr...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists

I'm feeling too lazy right now to think of examples but I suspect there are items I might purchase that are good and right in their proper place but that are misused often enough that I wouldn't want to sell them (not that I would say it's sinful to sell them). I wouldn’t sell spray cans of paint i...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

OK, sounds good. The quote below in its context seems to imply that JohnHurt had made some kind of a claim that there were Confederate units full of Black soldiers. I don't think that JohnHurt said anything of the kind. Second, the idea that there were Confederate units full of Black solders is one...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

Yes, you’ve expounded at length on why the acts of gross violence perpetrated by the north are OK as long as they were for a good cause. Reading comprehension is hard, isn't it? But for some reason you find it particularly difficult. Why is that? Quite rich coming from you... I am always happy to c...
