Beowulfsfriend comments on Mar 18, 2019:

It isn't covered because it was black people from a "shit" country and only black people got killed. It should be covered, no mater who or where when such a large number of people get killed or injured. Nigeria is a country that has been teetering on the verge of a civil war for many years. And most of the violence there is directly linked to conflict between the two major religions (which both war each other, and unite to kill those citizens of their country who still practice nativism).

Do you believe in Doomsday prepping?

Beowulfsfriend comments on Mar 18, 2019:

No, especially if you want to live a normal life in regular society. First, what are the odds any individual survives let's say the zombie apocalypse, then what comes next? If you do survive a catastrophe of a war, and you have some medical and mechanical knowledge, everything you need will most likely be available in any left over buildings (No guarantee a prepper's place will survive either). Go take what you need. This is not the same as preparing for a couple of weeks of bad weather.

And Olivier, a marvelous actor, did not produce the full plays, cutting a lot out of them, especially his Hamlet which won an oscar.

Russia introduces chemical castration for pedophiles — RT World News

Beowulfsfriend comments on Mar 13, 2019:

Link wouldn't come up. Anyway, many places including here in the US have used chemical castration in varying forms for quite awhile. I've nothing against using it, but don't think it is a cureall. Not by a long shot. A pedophile is sick and their sickness makes them the most likely of criminals to have the highest rate of recidivism. Remember, they don't need their dck to cause harm. That type of program has been used in the US to allow guys to stay out of jail. Not always a wise choice. So, simply put, it is a program that has some use, some varying success, and shouldn't be counted on to stop a problem. Personally, I'm extremely liberal on jail reform and sentencing of offenses EXCEPT for pedophiles who are too often released early because full prisons need space for mandatory bull shit drug offenders.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Mar 12, 2019:

Jesus is too similar to past characters and myths, dating at least into ancient Egypt. There is no concrete evidence Jesus ever existed. The evidence mostly used is by a historian born a hundred years later. At least Buddha has a guy who can be located historically if not his sayings or actions. Both Jesus and Buddah share traits of a long ago created figure though. Unless some solid evidence shows up Jesus should be seen like Beowulf, a literary character meant to instruct, and surrounded with some historical people and events.
