Gary, you make all this stuff up. None of it is anything I've said. But if that's how you want to see it, that's how you're going to see it, I guess.

The point is always to distract from the obvious, of course: which is that the Dems are one of two causes of the war. And, as they say, it takes two to tango.

Is there no communication between heaven and hell when we both end up in our respective places for eternity? I'm perfectly fine being condemned by God.

Has that got anything at all to do with the Democrats' engineering of the Ukraine war? I don't think so.

Who cares what the Democrats are doing? This isn't heaven or hell. When they kill us we'll simply go to our respective places in the afterlife. Why are you afraid of death? None of us can live forever. Enjoy your wife. At least you've got that. We'll chat with each other when we get to heaven and hell. I hear they have Internet up there. If hell doesn't have it, I'm sure God can have it installed for Satan.

OK. So stop worrying about it. You'll go to heaven. It'll be fine.

God wants me punished for my sins. I can't hide them from God. I have to be evil. If I'm not evil, then I would be committing fraud if I went to church and claimed I'm something I'm not.

Gary, you should start a different thread if you want to talk about this sort of thing in a public way. And if you have a question for me, you can always PM it. On the other hand, if you just want to show off in front of others, you can stay here and carry on as you wish. But I'm disinclined to play. Count me out of that conversation.

Don't be silly. I'm merely pointing out to you the most reasonable and polite procedure for saying anything that you like. You're not limited as to content; some venues are more appropriate for some things than others. But you know that.

Trump has been very clever at pretending they are all crooks, but despite saying he will drain the swapm, and despite filling up the courts with MAGA friendly judges he has not brought any one to justice.

Absurd and ridiculous nonsense.

Lots of opinion ... with one factoid about judges that is wrong, as the chart shows.

Obviously he is pointing out appropriateness. Of course you are free to distract from the topic with inappropriateness, and doing that is obviously something you need to do in order to feed your self-concept. Your self-concept is, as you have described yourself somewhere on the forum recently ... not ever fitting in, etc. Inappropriateness is what does not fit in.
