racocn8 comments on Mar 17, 2022:

The eastern cities contain mostly ethnic Russians. Putin is killing the very Russians he claims to be protecting, and wanting to join his Russia. So Putin doesn't care about Russians, and the whole Ukraine joining Nato has always been bullshit (Ukraine has always been way too corrupt to pass muster). The only real reason that's left is the lust for Ukraine's oil and other resources. It's all about money, and always was. The western press keeps going on about war crimes. That's a load of shit because how can one pursue war crimes against Putin? After the Nazi stooges in Ukraine murdered 4 million people on behalf of Hitler, not one single Ukrainian was held to account. It'd be a miracle if Putin ever saw the inside of a courtroom, and even if he could, he can only die once.

racocn8 comments on Mar 15, 2022:

Israeli diplomats have been approved by Ukraine to open negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. If this has Ukraine's approval, what is the issue? Two issues: 1) Immigration of Jewish Ukrainians to Israel. Israel is fighting demographics with the Arabs, so Israel would like to bolster the number of Jews with the Ukrainian Jews dispossessed by the war. 2) What is the status of Russian oligarchs that have fled to Israel in the face of prospective sanctions against Russia's oligarchs? Perhaps the sanctioning of Russian oligarchs is being considered for additional sanctions. The Russian oligarchs supporting Putin could be deprived of passport admission throughout the world, and put on no-fly and no-entry lists. The Aljazeera article suggests the Russian Jewish oligarchs already in Israel want to be exempt from these restrictions. They are indeed kleptocrats and don't deserve the time of day, however, they are not the oligarchs currently supporting Putin. ( I'd say fuck them all, but I am more focused on the oligarchs that support Putin's dictatorship and invasion.) (I would say put a bounty on the oligarchs and denounce them as wanted war criminals for their support of this war. But then, I'd like to arrest Bush and Cheney for the Hague, too.) (And, while we're at it, put all the Russian rank and file who can be shown to support Putin and put them on a permanent no-fly and no-entry list for the world. Russian Trumpers are just as fucked up as our Trumpers and they need punishment for endorsing fascism. As do our Trumpers.) https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/israels-bennett-returned-moscow-speaks-again-ukraines-zelenskiy-2022-03-06/ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/14/as-ukraine-war-rages-israel-grapples-with-fate-of-oligarchs

racocn8 comments on Mar 15, 2022:

Gabbard calls for the labs to be secured. The problem is, they were secured before the Russians invaded. The US was supporting them to provide security. By calling for the labs to be secured, Gabbard is saying that they should be surrendered to the Russians, the same Russians that gassed Syrian civilians and have committed numerous war crimes throughout Ukraine. By calling for the labs to be secured by the Russians, Gabbard is siding with the enemy, and that does make her a traitor. (But Romney owes a shitload of apologies that are based on reality.)

racocn8 comments on Mar 15, 2022:

Thanks for posting. The big question is whether engaging in religious practices has the effect of causing damage to these or other parts of the brain. One might assume that religious practices were relatively benign. However, if doctrine screws people up sexually and/or socially, that can have the effect of generating sociopaths or people with abnormal sexual behaviors. When those people act out, they traumatize other religious members and that trauma may be damaging to the brain. Similarly, by inculcating hate of non-believers, the disposition to violence can also bring about traumatic events, damaging the personality and the brain. If the relationship between religion and damage can be demonstrated with brain activity MRIs and cognitive tests, that would be very persuasive information.

How could Christians commit so many horrific acts in the name of Christianity? How is it that American Christians support a Russian asset?

I have a friend who has made the same complaint, although I don't know if it was J&J or another vaccine. However, he is a Trumper and waited until late last year to get the vaccine. Even though he is a scientist, he leans in the direction of all the anti-vax propaganda. He had only gotten one vaccination before contracting Covid from a Super Bowl Party last month, and getting a severe sore throat and fever for several days. You may well be one of the unlucky few who suffered negative side effects. I hope you recover. I've had varying levels of tinnitus for years and it's no fun.

It's free speech until you piss someone off... then it's hate speech.

racocn8 comments on Mar 14, 2022:

At a minimum, hate speech includes disparaging someone for some feature they were born with or otherwise have no control over. Disparaging someone for their belief system is a bit trickier because religions often consist of weird or obviously silly beliefs. Why is it OK to disparage Christians for their beliefs, but hate speech when Christians disparage atheists? In this case, the social environment figures into the definition. Atheists are a comparatively powerless minority while Christians are the power-holding majority.
