The opposition is about slippery slopes into a religious dictatorship. In America we're familiar with similar slippery slope arguments, for instance into fascist authoritarianism. We're all free to judge how realistic those arguments are. Or we can withhold judgment due to lack of information. Regarding the American arguments, I always considered them hysterical and nonsensical.

Sounds vaguely Middle Eastern. Kind of mixed with polkas.

Both Lenin and Hitler masqueraded as being for the common man. So do our current leftists. That's not what it's about at all. It's about who wields power, and they have no other tools to overthrow the capitalism that drives the economy.

It looks like the crane had been on fire for quite a while before the incident and first responders were in the scene. 5 people injured, 3 hospitalized. My bet is most were in the building it struck…

Prosecutors said that the man struggled with alcohol and that was drunk Oct. 1, 2021, and unable to drive his daughter to the hair salon for an appointment before her 18th birthday party. That's when his enraged daughter threw lye powder and water on her sleeping father at their home in Groveland Township, northwest of Detroit, causing chemical burns that led to his death five months later, authorities said. If that's not depraved indifference I don't know what is.

@George-K said in I know that young healthy guys aren’t having heart attacks at an elevated rate: @LuFins-Dad said in I know that young healthy guys aren’t having heart attacks at an elevated rate: Cedars-Sinai seems to think that heart attacks are elevated - https://www.cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/covid-19-surges-linked-to-spike-in-heart-attacks/ "Heart attacks" related to COVID, or COVID vaccine? They were stating COVID, and the article you posted seems to indicate that the numbers are drastically weighted towards those that have had COVID. Of course, most people that had the vaccine had COVID, too… So how do those numbers add up? If you’re vaxed and get COVID are your odds for heart problems elevated?

@Jolly said in Boys will be girls: Well, tell us...How fine were you? What do you mean by “fine”? I was definitely suffering from sleep deprivation.

Giving face tattoos a bad name.

Remember, it's only 2/3's of a F-16. So maybe it's cheaper. And...It has a no afterburner option, which makes it not as fast, but cheaper, cheaper...

Go get 'em.

Yep. Back in the 70's we used to get 20 or 30 bucks for a cube-to-be. Everything else is ten times what it was then.

My dogs are dead. If there such things as ghosts or spirits, theirs might just float over or phase through the fence. :man-shrugging:
