Ilhan Omar Is TEARING The Democratic Party Apart By Revealing HYPOCRISY! - YouTube

brentan comments on Mar 8, 2019:

It seems she questioned the loyalty of American Jews to America. I'm guessing that she would include both Democrats and Republicans in that, intimating that all Jewish politicians put Israel first. Then I think the Democratic party wanted to distance themselves from her, critising her as antisemite and asking for a vote to cement their apparent eschewing of the antisemite view. Some Democrats felt she was being unfairly treated, presumably on the basis that criticism isn't racist, so they made the pledge more generally about all kinds of racism. And Omar voted for the pledge too. Have I got it right?

Childish, but hilarious.

Some of this is your fault. You are doing your best to hurt her as she does the same to you. And we certainly don't need family members to have a go at us on Facebook, even if they are Trump supporters. You have to change this not so merry-go-round. Get off it because it's toxic. That said, I had a crappy mother too and the only solution I ever came up with that worked was separating myself from her. I hope you find the best way for you.

There is an interesting detail about God apparently having a timeline for the punishment of these peoples.: In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure." - Genesis 15:16. Ironically, this idea of a people who are evil through and through has been the cause of so much suffering for the Jews themselves and it isn't over by any means from what I read in the newspapers.

brentan comments on Mar 5, 2019:

A 'psychological aberration'. When I was a teenager in a mental hospital, a man was admitted who was a cross-dresser. He was the only one who had a divider around his bed in the dormitory. That was the mid-70s. He was treated as an oddity among oddities. He wasn't at all friendly and looked very tough, built as solid as a farmer and always angry. Looking back on it, it was a hopeless situation. I'm sure he returned to the Catholic world around him and we returned to our ignorance.

In Ireland, the worry some have is that the culture is dying through immigration. It's a valid concern but i try to look at it from a historical perspective where new people came into the country periodically and made the culture what it is now.

My own experience has meant that while I learned a lot through my own reading, I had lots of notions in my head for many years that were quite wrong. The trouble was there nobody to refute them. There were two things I appreciated in college (and this was in my mid-40s) and they were the feedback from others and also the way you learned to research things properly.
