    You originally said true Christians don't (typically or usually) do what he did. Then used the adjective "good" to talk about what what muslims don't do. Not sure if scourge caught that. 

    Do "true muslims" not murder, just like "true christians?" 

    I did?   Did I really say that.   That's  not how I remember it.

    I didn't pick up on anything like that from mspart. 

    He seemed to just not want to mince words and simply said you're not a good Christian or Muslim if you kill people.

    Thank you scourge for reading my post.    That was it exactcly and RV purposefully misrepresented what I wrote, it was really quite clear. 

    Good Christians don't murder.   Good Muslims don't murder.   Full Stop.   Or words to that effect.

    That's as bad as me saying that somebody couldn't be "much of a muslim" if he murders people. 

    Just listen to yourself. It's unbelievable. 

    A good Christian does not murder.   A good Muslim does not murder people.   Full stop.

  4. Kudos for the security guy taking the murderer out.   Saved a lot of lives.    This is what we should be discussing, not how Christian the murderer was.   He obviously was not much of a Christian if he was willing to murder indiscriminate people in a church.

  5. I have to admit and I said this in other threads, I didn't think Trump would do this.   I thought he would continue talking.   I admit I was wrong about it.   I'm not sure how I think about it.   Supportive and not supportive.

    1.  If Iran wanted a civilian use (electricity) nuclear program, no one thinks they shouldn't.    I don't think so.   But if that is their aim, why are they creating nuclear fuel that surpasses that which is necessary and come to nuclear armaments?   Why do they have centrifuges that are way more capable than what it is they need for a civilian program?

    2.   If Iran is cagey about this, why the caginess.   I know  people on here say  they were on their stated target and not doing anything wrong.   60% enriched uranium is something not needed for civilian use.   So it seems there are two stories that are contradicting each other. 

    3.   They are the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world.   They fund Hamas and Hezbollah.   They fund the Houthis.   They fund international terrorism.   So they are not the good guys.  

    4.   I understand that Israel wants to take away the Iranian threat to their survival. 

    5.   I am not sure about our involvement.   I did not think it would go this way and I'm not sure I am fully supportive.  But the targets were not population centers, they were nuclear sites with minimal people.   So they were strategic sites, not population centers.  

    6.  Some say Trump is a terrible negotiator.   Iran, like me, didn't think Trump would do this.   But they now know, as do we, that Trump wants to negotiate with Iran.   But he won't be toyed with.   60 days were given as a time to negotiate, on day 61, Israel struck.   So Iran rolled the dice that history would repeat itself and it didn't.  

    7.  Trump continued to want to negotiate and Iran continued not to negotiate in good faith.   Trump has intimated that they can take out Iranian leadership and have done some of that.   He obviously wants to come to an agreement with Iran.  

    8.  As you can see, I find way more reasons for this action than reasons not to.  But I am still on the fence about it.   I am not totally surprised it happened, but am surprised that it did.  

    That is where I am with this.   Now that it has happened, I hope it turns out to be a good thing in the end.

    I already did this;

     

     

    I'd also add Jared Polis of Colorado would be an excellent candidate... if you just look at his political ideology, but he's gay, so his chances are non-existent. 

     

    I'm...incredibly skeptical of anyone picking up from Trump in the "MAGA," party. 

    Mark Kelly is just not national enough, plus he is a loon.   He has not shown leadership on anything to date on a big scale. 

    Polis might be good but no name recognition.   Who is he?

    Point taken about Trump's successor.   JD is the  most likely and seems to work in the similar way.  I think most Rs would be on board.  

    Harris, Newsom, Hakim, AOC?   Laughable.

  7. yeah, I don't care about Shedour, I just saw all the fuss about the draft and had never heard of him so I was nonplussed.   But he appears to think he is the greatest thing to walk the earth, and this speeding means he thinks he can do stuff and not suffer the same as we would.  This speeding is not just regular going 80 in a 65 area.   He was +10.   Who does that?  Repeatedly?   Screw loose there or something.

    Any predictions on his career?  I think he will flame out as he appears to be erratic in his behavior.

    I think he’s talking about me.  I am a 3x Trump voter.  I’m not his biggest fan, but thought he was better than the alternatives.  But I’m definitely not a fan of some of the MAGA cult and have split my votes in other races fairly evenly between D’s and R’s

    Interesting, thanks for sharing.  I seriously would not have guessed.   I agree he was better than the alternatives.  There's no doubt about that.

  9. Again, Costner is hit and miss for me.   Wehn he is bad, he is bad.   When he is good, he's ok.   I don't avoid films with him, I just laugh at his attempts to do anything other than Keven Costner.   I love Robin Hood, but he was horrendous in it.  Tried an accent and then dropped it.   Really poor performance.   However, Alan Rickman and Morgan Freeman were really good in it.   Heck, John Little's wife was better than Costner.   Just my opinion.

  10. She was really good in the John Adams mini series.   I was impressed.

    If you want a real example of bad actor it is Keanu Reeves and Kevin Costner.   Terrible.   Costner has had some decent movies, but his acting in Robin Hood was incredibly bad.   Reeves, I understand is a very decent and nice man, but that does not mean he is a good actor.   Vin Diesel is also among this crowd.

    Please tell me this is coherent to someone else?

    "well, there definitely is a troll on this forum who SAID he voted for trump...

    RV voted for Trump in 2016.   He has admitted it.  It seems crazy I know, but his reasoning was to show the world what a loon Trump is and it will destroy the Rs if I remember correctly.   I believe that is what is being referenced.
