  1. Past hour
  2. I think most of Mohammad’s marriages were political. Aisha’s father was one of the most powerful men of the time, and Mohammad was just a shepherd claiming to be a prophet. Marrying her definitely boosted his influence. Even before that, his marriage to Khadijah - who was old enough to be Aisha’s mother, maybe even her grandmother in an age when girls married super young - was clearly political too, since she was a wealthy merchant. I’m sure politics played a role, and probably desire as well. I don’t know if Abu Bakr had other daughters, but if he did, I don’t get why Mohammad went for Aisha instead of, say, a 20-year-old daughter (if there even was one). Anyway, I’m not really an expert on Islamic history, so these are questions you should ask someone who’s actually a Muslim or claims to know the history. But no matter how I look at it, whether it was politics or desire, what Mohammad did still makes a hell of a lot more sense than believing a woman had a baby without ever having sex.
  3. Today
  4. So like many conservatives up until about a month ago when Trump told them to stop talking about it?
  5. I’m trying to help you out. I feel sorry for you.
  6. You're not that old ... man.
  7. I wish. 200 bucks is a lot for wrestling shoes as an old man who isn't planning on using them
  8. Guessing only 99 remaining as fly already has a pair?
  9. Good news is I’d never do that. No chance I allow you to follow my granddaughter anywhere. You’re a groomer supporting wokester
  10. Well I am very excited for the future. I’m not sure who will be our 65 kg guy going forward after this year. I have to believe that Stanich will grow, so maybe it will be Blaze or Forrest fulfilling the role.
  11. Why you assume they'd do that just because they're furries. Furries aren't typically pedos like Trump is. Two different deals. I'd be more disturbed if u followed one of my daughters into bathroom than a furry.
  12. Ha. Didn’t realize I spelled That wrong
  13. And can we stop with the 6 weight nonsense? 10 weights please. The change from worlds to Olympics adds some intrigue at the qualification level but it also leaves so many deserving athletes watching from home.
  14. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/world/africa/africa-map-mercator.html Even when I was in college people were railing about how outdated this was. It never made sense why we keep it.
  15. I bet you think it’s ok when they follow that kid who thinks they’re funny into the bathroom
  16. And traditionally a weight where we struggle to medal. That is some scary depth wow. Speaking of Nick Lee is he retired?
  17. If you run out of water and electricity, you are in deep trouble. One should note that if Iran had a civilian nuclear power program–which it doesn’t–electricity wouldn’t be an issue. Emphasis added. These warnings are especially significant because they come from “an important pillar of support for the relatively moderate president Masoud Pezeshkian.” Without a normalization of relations with the U.S., conditions in Iran are dire: The regime’s unpopularity has led to calls for other changes, as well: The mullahs so far have rejected calls to abandon their nuclear ambitions, but restarting weapons development will take a long time, given that the U.S. bombing “heavily damaged Iran’s nuclear facilities,” while Israel’s targeted strikes eliminated important military leaders and nuclear scientists. So Iran is in a state of economic collapse, with runaway inflation, increasingly worthless currency, and basic necessities like water and electricity intermittently unavailable. Thus, a large majority of Iran’s people want to get rid of the mullahcracy. But totalitarian regimes can take a long time to die: see Venezuela. We can only encourage the Trump administration to keep up the pressure, in hopes that Iran will, sooner rather than later, rejoin the real world. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/08/irans-crisis-deepens.php The people that scream death to America can’t survive without America.
  18. Ok. But does he look older?
  19. We don't know if she was pretty but young, yes. Young enough to play with dolls. Aisha was 6 when they married, 9 when they consummated.
  20. Well,I agree it isn't "needed" but maybe they find it funny. I sort of do. Wingers are always finding stupid things to get their panties in a bundle over.
  21. There is zero need to parade people with severe mental issues in front of kids and pretend it’s normal.
  22. Still zero evidence of attempted conversion. Kids simply seeing it isn't a big deal.
