the pale moonlight.

Bliss.
Best ever episode of any Star Trek series right there, In The Pale Moonlight.
I've got the outdoor room setup, my deck is above my patio, so under the deck I've set it up like a room with no walls.

I bought this outdoor furniture which is like sofas. It's made for the outdoors, but it's indoor style.

Chillin' on the couch, outdoors in the moonlight.

Higher than giraffe pussy.

The time for arguments has been long over.

It's just a question of time really.

Doesn't seem like there's much to discuss. There is nothing left to make compromises on.

Just look at the ring kissing of Rev Sharpton. That such a charlatan holds the keys to the kingdom says it all.

This is how the far left thinks. This is a direct quote taken from another forum. It's not sarcasm, or a joke, it's how they really feel.
Maybe if Muslims suffered less persecution, they’d have fewer radicals who feel the need to blow up buildings....

Another thought. After the ChristChurch attacks there were calls for putting and end to white supremacists, and rightfully so. The attacks on those mosques were carried out by a single man. The attacks in Sri Lanka were orchestrated by an organized group and killed hundreds. This time there is almost silence about the groups responsible, almost an acceptance of it.

i think its hard to draw too many comparisons between the two, due to how the christchurch attack was specifically formulated for internet consumption. if the easterchurch attack was livestreamed and accompanied by a manifesto that drew on internet culture, instead of another standard jihadi terror attack, then i would expect more of a targeted reaction

or maybe its the soft bigotry of low expectations that expects muslims to do this type of shit but demands accountability when white people do it

The Christchurch shooter mimicked ISIS on purpose. ISIS does everything for internet and media consumption. The comparisons are quite valid, and the hypocrisy is glaring.

actually feels like it's been pretty slow lately. carlus is back but fife has been quiet

I left because I took a break as part of Lent.
As I was catching up on threads, I've noticed a burdensome volume of shit posting all over the forum. Now, most of do some shit posting on other folks from time to time. But the volume is pretty heavy right now.

A little shit posting on others can be clever. Meh, I ain't going to try an control adult men, if they want to relive shit posting about hockey for several years that's their problem.

i know isis has a heavy presence online but the christchurch shooter was actively engaged in meme culture, the dude even gave the o-kay hand gesture at his sentencing. his attack was specifically aimed to inflame tensions in the west over gun control and other media hype trains, which prompted a huge media response. isis beheads people online and they have video editors and ive seen tons of war footage on liveleak but i'm not so sure you can say he specifically mimicked isis. or if he did, he did it much better than them, i dont recall isis livestreaming any attacks in the same nature that he did, sure they blow people up but the christchurch video was way more visceral. admittedly i'm not up to speed on every isis attack, i could be wrong

Organized persecution of minority Christians in their traditional Middle East homelands is approaching genocide and has driven an exodus in the past two decades, a report commissioned by the British Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, warned Thursday.

Millions of Christians in the region have been uprooted from their homes, and many have been killed, kidnapped, imprisoned and discriminated against, the report compiled by the Bishop of Truro, the Right Rev Philip Mounstephen, found.

It also uncovered “shocking” evidence that the persecution is worse today than ever with widespread discrimination across south-east Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and in east Asia – often driven by state authoritarianism and intolerance of religious diversity.

Its findings come after 359 people were killed and more than 500 wounded in attacks at hotels and churches in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday.

“The inconvenient truth,” the report finds, is “that the overwhelming majority (80%) of persecuted religious believers are Christians”.

That's just physical violence in the nonwestern world. When you consider the soft persecution in North America and Europe, the numbers must be much worse.

It also answers that generation-old question of "how could something like the Holocaust have happened??" The answer, provided by leftists, is that the persecutors believe they are the persecuted and in the right. People support evil because they delude themselves into believing it the good.
