Alex 35080 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 That's why justification of homophobia (for example) because of what's written in the Bible is so ridiculous and just a way excusing prejudice, i.e. look at all the other shit in there that no right-minded person would adhere to.

Happy Face 29 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Critics of Islam would say it's old testament christianity and no-one drinks old coke any more, it's all about enlightenment era coke. Renton asked me about it earlier and I started a response based around Jesus defending the prophets and the old testament, among other things... http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/nt_list.html but thought we were getting to the bald men arguing over a comb stage and better to agree to disagree and talk about music & football instead.

Well aye, let's not go there. Think I finally lost interest in the thread when Paddock Lad seemed to be nominating me to be the next UK leader of Pegida. Enough's enough tbh.

Rayvin 5223 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The Russians aren't going to fire on US airplanes, they know what that would mean. Unless you're thinking they'll issue them to the Syrians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Russians delivered S300 to Iran 2 years ago (so I suspect the Syrians have some) and have warned the Americans not to attack Syrian forces in theatre anymore which the Americans have done twice now. Russia simply cannot back off in Syria or Ukraine. It's going to take a massive error or judgement on the part of the Americans for this to go hot however. ISIS is losing all over the place and the Americans/Gulf States/israel are pissed. Edited October 7, 2016 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) They're not 'rebels' ffs! There are many vids of Jabhat al Nusra on Youtube but all with 18+ content warnings due to their sheer brutality. UN Syria Envoy Staffan de Mistura appealed directly to Jabhat al-Nusra, Syria’s al-Qaeda affiliate, on Oct. 6 to leave the city of Aleppo “because 1,000 of you are deciding the destiny of the 275,000 civilians.” Jabhat al-Nusra, which broke from al-Qaeda and rebranded itself as Jabhat Fatah al-Sham (Conquest of Syria Front) in July, is designated as a terrorist organization by both the United States and the United Nations. Russia claimed that a reason for the collapse of the US-Russia agreement last month was the inability of the United States and its regional allies to separate American-backed Syrian opposition forces from Jabhat al-Nusra." The Barack Obama administration has increasingly warned of the dangers posed by the expansion of Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria. On Sept. 9, US Secretary of State John Kerry said, “Going after Nusra is not a concession to anybody.” He added, “It is profoundly in the interests of the United States to target al-Qaeda — to target al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, which is Nusra, an organization that is opposed to a peaceful transition, an organization that is an enemy of the legitimate opposition, an organization that is currently plotting attacks beyond Syria’s borders, including against the United States.” http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/10/un-syria-envoy-nusra-aleppo-hostage.html "The UN's top diplomat for the Syrian crisis has offered to personally escort hundreds of al-Qaeda fighters out of Aleppo if it would end hostilities, warning that the city will be completely destroyed by Christmas if the current levels of fighting continue. Staffan de Mistura, the 69-year-old Italian aristocrat tapped by the UN to try to bring peace to Syria, said he was prepared to offer his own body as a “guarantee” if it would convince fighters from the al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda-linked group, to leave Aleppo." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/06/un-diplomat-offers-to-personally-escort-900-al-qaeda-fighters-ou/ Edited November 21, 2016 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
