Yes, good, more of this Jr.

He's absolutely right there's a Cultural Revolution-like element to this. And that is bad.
I'm still voting Biden though.

Are you concerned there won't be enough people brave enough to serve as Confederate re-enactors on the 200th anniversary of the American Civil War once the dust settles, and the anti-Lost Cause Movement has triumphed utterly?  

I think we've replaced one wrongful dogma with another equally wrongful dogma.
I prefer what Thomas Sewell has said over both.
Everything I see in the anti Confederate statue movement makes me want to side against it. American Red Guards. They don't understand history. They don't stop at Lee or Jackson. They went after Lincoln and Washington too. They want to rebuild our civic ethos from the ground up. Sorry, I'm not up for that. Give them an inch they'll go a mile.
Year Zero. That's what the idea is.

History repeats itself. The woke mob was also responsible for renaming all these streets. Such disrespect for history is disturbing.

In 2017, the woke mob forced Camp Siegfried to allow non Germans to live there. Such a timely desegregation of a Nazi community!

YouGov poll for Sky News:
Labour: 47 (+3)
Tories: 20 (-2)
Lib Dems: 9 (-)
Reform UK: 12 (-2)
Greens: 7 (+1)
SNP: 3 (-)

Plugging that into Electoral Calculus makes Ed Davey leader of the Opposition. We’ll see if any upcoming MRPs “confirm” that or not.

Is it a bigoted post to suggest to Evangelical Christians that their work is ridiculous?  That it does more harm than good?  That it fosters "cultural genocide"? 

No. As long as you aren't singling out christian missionaries and implying that muslim missionaries or missionaries from some other religion would theoretically be fine, then no, it's not bigoted.

These statements are bigoted not only toward the missionaries; they are bigoted toward the Christians who support them.

You can believe that if you want, but I think a lot of people would disagree. The mods have not infracted me or deleted my post, so they probably disagree with you.

Fuzzy with a whining moaning diatribe about how unfairly Christians are treated in america? Whoda thunk it?

We should also start requiring businesses to list the after tax price too.

The U.S. has tens of thousands of tax districts.  Showing the price exclusive of taxes keeps taxes transparent and allows consumers to make direct comparisons between the prices of products across different regions.

This would be for in person sales. Obviously wouldn’t work online.

It even breaks down at a local level. It would be hard to make a direct price comparison between doing your grocery shopping in one county vs another if they applied different local taxes, for example.

Most states don't tax groceries though, so that part doesn't even apply to most of the country. Your state apparently is among those that tax groceries and at the highest rate in the country (7%).

Online comparison seems even easier. Businesses need to know sales tax rates in order to collect the appropriate amount. There's no reason why they can't have a way to input your ZIP code to show the final price with sales tax. When you buy something subject to sales tax, you input your address anyway to see the final price, but that's at checkout and not itemized.

["Christian opinion" over Gaza should be taken into account]

Is there any reason the idea of  'Muslim' opinion (as opposed to Palestinian) over Gaza should be respected? Any Muslim other than a Palestinian themselves who is a single issue voter over Gaza is clearly motivated only by Islamism and and the Islamic religious claim on Jerusalem

The same way the "Jewish opinion" or a "Christian opinion" over Gaza should be taken into account as well given how important the wider region is important to all three faiths. And even if they're now turning out to vote based upon wider loyalty to Islam and the global ummah, it is still good they're actually turning out to vote now in the first place.

It shouldn't be at all, as is obvious if you applied this standard to any other conflict. Do you think anyone would take seriously a group of Irish catholics under the cloak of 'global catholicism' demanding that the American government reflexively and rigidly support the demands of Croatian nationalists?

[Didn't expect Ryan Gosling to pull off such a a role.]

Decided to see Fall Guy on a whim. Not bad. Great escapism. Didn't expect Ryan Gosling to pull off such a a role.

Why? This role isn't all that different from Ken.

Almost a week old but you really got to love the memes coming put this election.

Missed this at the time:

For those interested, David Lammy has just dropped an essay on the next Labour government’s foreign policy, progressive clichéism.
