The Taliban’s announcement that it is resuming publicly stoning women to death has been enabled by the international community’s silence, human rights groups have said....
No I'm not saying the West is much better, but at least here we treat women with the same dignity as men. We spit on all of them, but at least we TRY to say we treat men and women equally.
No the situation is not much better anywhere in the world.
Just because no one holds you accountable for doing it, how can you justify being sick and evil enough to want to flog or stone somebody. What is going on with these middle eastern assholes?? Is it something in the water they drink or the food they eat that turns these bigoted males into such flagrantly mentally abberant pieces of utter walking dog shit??
Well, my advice is, if you're a middle-eastern woman, arm yourself any way you can and strike first. Throw the first stone, you might just crush the worthless skull of one of these misogynistic women-hating anti-human pieces of maggot infested filth, and do the world an immense favor.

All of our countries should be imposing bans on ANTYHING being imported from Israel ever again, and from anything they produce being brought overseas. Israel is a cesspool of murderous hate, and we cannot and should not support hem in any way, in any form, at any time.
It’s easy to roll one’s eyes as the self-serving dramatics of MAGA voters using false claims of victimhood as cover for their ugly views.

And the sad sick truth is, the Christians are the the only ones NOT really under siege at all and the only ones who seem not affected by any of the crimes they keep screaming about, which are all fictitious anyway. It's quite glaringly obvious taht Chrstianity always equals Falsehood.
I don't think people think much about the actuality of what Darwin said or the truth of their own animalness and being part of the animal kingdom.
It always irks me to see an anti-evolutionist pointing to or making fun of a picture of an ape because, to them, being compared to great animals is some sort of smutty filth. I hate to think what kind of brutality they enact on cats and dogs around them, or even kids.
The idea that we're part of the Animal kingdom, to me, is such a fascinating and great concept. I just do not get people who are insulted or "turned off" by that idea at all.
I only wish they could be raptured so we could be rid of these ignorant fools once and for all. Can you imagine having to be "raptured" along with them, and having to spend eternity with such self-righteous self serving egotistical assholes? I can't think of anything more like hell and less like heaven.
Left behind? Thank you I'll gladly stay here and enjoy the peace and quiet of an earth cleansed of ignorance and stupidity and dark-age beliefs in supernatural dieities.
“The Palestinian Authority is waging a war against us, and only action with the same force as we’re applying in Gaza will eliminate all threats throughout the West Bank,” he says in a statement cited by Hebrew media.
Settler leader should be stoned and beheaded for licking Nazi buttholes and savoring the taste. Israel has become worse than Nazi germany at its most utterly grotesque.
Every time there's a solar eclipse, a blood moon, a super moon, or any other astronomical phenomenon, we never can see it here in Utah, it's always far too cloudy and too overcast to see anything. Same with this Monday's eclipse, though even if we could, we only would see a portion of it anyway.

I'd much rather have my kid sing songs about Satan and give fealty to Satan than ever think that there is any truth to christ, or god, or any of the other insane institutions of christian nut-jobbery.
That's extremely sad and worse than almost any form of child abuse I've ever read about. Forcing these dumb gullible kids to believe in christ-y nonsense which not only will never help them deal with real life, but will poison their minds against other people and polarize their viewpoints into arthritic rigidity and disgusting bigotry. It's sick.
I've always considered Ohio a worthless bastion of assholery but I never thought they would stoop to such horrible brainwashing of youngsters. Any parent worth being called a parent would and should pull their kids out of that school and that horrible abusive situation as fast as humanly possible.
Why does every photo of trump make him appear to be harfing up a hairball. What an ugly countenance!
This blasphemous misgogynist freak hawking bibles is like Jeffrey Dahmer going around giving parents tips on childcare. And the aim is the same in both cases - raise your kids to be overstuffed bigot freaks so we can kill them and dine on them and make our names off their dead bloated corpses.
Just as long as it happens is all I care about. It's a process, like anything else it just takes successive generations of breeding the ignorance out of our genes. I think there will always be some kind of religious insitutions around, people seem to need to believe in things that are fantastic and supernatural.
They couldn't even escape the pull of it in "Dune," there was plenty of religion even in a place where it seems to have no great purpose. People are just that way - they are willing to put their belief in crazy stuff.
Just changed my voter registration. Farewell GOP, you were great for a while but now you have lost your way. I'm pleased to now be a registered Democrat.
@BaldProphet Congrats BaldProphet, and welcome to the light. It takes a lot of growing and courage to come over to the good side. Plus we throw better parties. Welcome aboard!
And I'd add that banning books about LGBTQ people and pride flags and such actually will dramatically increase the probability of brain dead adults and pedophilic clergy, since ignorance is a large part of what drives such behaviors.
I appreciate that. I've had a lot of scorn heaped on my head for being a "Boomer," as if it was sacriligious of me to pick being born in the 50s - surprisingly, I had very little say in it.
And I personally don't see that I did anything to make the world worse, beyond just living my life the way every one else did. Did I support oil and gas extraction? Well I drove a car - as a kid I never even thought about such things.
Did I help pollute the earth? I came from a family of human consumers so I'm sure I did. I'm not saying we don't deserve our share of blame.
Yes I'm an older person but I worked hard and did my best in life, I don't know more I could do. I never engaged in fighting or war with other people or hurt anyone, if I could help it.
I have a spotless driving record, not even a citation. But no one says, "thank you for being a safe driver," all i get are scornful comments like, "whaddya want, a metal?" "Who cares."
You can be a good and contributing tax payer your whole life, and someone who has always treated others with respect and acted carefully, and yet still be the target of total scorn and unreasonable hate just because of the generation you came from.
The only person laughing is usually the person who made the joke and it’s generally just irritating to everyone else who just wants to get on with their day. I might feel differently if we like, got the day off work for April Fools Day I guess
I did a spongebob thing and poured myself 400 glasses of lemonade with little umbrellas for breakfast. April Fools on me, I'm not even thirsty!! AH HA HA HA HA oh man, I'm going away with the nice men in white coats now.....
Here they want to force all schools to have the Ten Commandments posted on every wall. Because god knows, kids aren't already feeling puny and guilty enough, we need to show them just how much they don't measure up to god's standards at every turn.
If there is a human alive who has never broken a commandment I've yet to meet them. And I don't live my life by a fictitious set of rules anyway - let alone a list that no one, not even Jesus, could actually succesfully live up to. (and to my mind, no one with any intellect would want to anyway).
No. I didn't much like Reddit but I have never had so many problems with a social media site as I have with Lemmy. Right now there's 17 comments in my notifications page, but no way to access them because it just says "404 - page not found." And there's no way to view or erase them.
Lemmy has tons of connectivity problems also. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd have to rate it minus 100. I've left Kbin and actually am no longer even using Lemmy but once in a grand while. I'm looking for other sites that will work better.
Hmm. Not sure how to feel because honestly, I feel this way also. I do love animals (ummm not in the physical way) and I believe all life is sacred. After all humans are animals also. But at the same time, I love the carnivorous side of being an omnivore - I couldn't imagine not being able to eat steaks, ribs, chicken wings and other meat with bones and veins in it.
But that doesn't mean I think animals deserve to die - just that I have to live with the un-resovable contradiction of being both an animal lover and a meat lover. It is yummy and there's nothing the first bite of a juicy steak or crispy chicken wing. Thank you for your sacrifice, clucky, bessie, and porky.
