    Taking stock

    I'm really sorry to read this, Rus. Terrible. Leaving the United States has been a difficult journey for you. It's an isolating experience to leave one's country. Just in the mere 3 times I've had to go to the Philippines to be around my wife's family and "former world," I felt like a total...

    Jordan Peterson is awesome. That’s all I have to say. Carry on.

    I don’t even know what to think anymore

    I saw some online pictures today of billboards across Ukraine. Pictures of Putin with a pistol shoved down his mouth, and “Russia—Go F$@% yourself.” @Nick1000 i agree, Ukraine is a classy place! Only those evil “Orc” Russians could speak so caustically!

    I don’t even know what to think anymore

    Uh…didn’t I say I’m not ok with that kind of hyperbole? “Let the record show….” I’d also be interested in your opinion about how Ukrainian TV has regularly called Russia “Mordor,” Russians “orcs,” the Russians “not people, but rabble,” and their media had an ongoing narrative wherein Russians...

    I don’t even know what to think anymore

    Hey, nobody here is ok with that such hyperbole. I know I’m not. And Rus left Russia because of the dangerous rhetoric he heard and the nasty trajectory he saw for Russian society during this war. It isn’t pretty. And it isn’t ok. Regarding the drowning kids sick comment, I believe you got...

    The Sound of Freedom

    I think we fail to see, as a society, the incredible toxic poisoning of America’s soul via inappropriate contentography. Our world is so inappropriate contentographic and all our music, TV, film, literature, social media, and internet as well as media have inappropriate content permeating the landscape. 50% of male Christians on Sunday are...

    The Sound of Freedom

    I think we can walk and chew gum, so to speak. We cannot change the world merely with politics and voting, but it is part of the equation. I’m heartened to see Muslims fighting back and raiding Cain at school board meetings about this LGBTKGB filth. Catholics have done a lot to overturn Roe v...

    Same post. No answering anyone’s points. Just the same rhetoric. Copy—paste.

    I don’t even know what to think anymore

    And I completely agree with that!! The Church should always be unfettered to criticize, guide, and admonish leaders. This is the problem with a state Church. It’s a bundle. Like AT&T. There is a real weird sentimental feeling about the old USSR among some in Russia. I even hear it at my parish...

    You mean Catholics will just like the film because of Jim Caviezel because he was in Passion of the Christ, a Catholicky flick?

    Cultural response? Catholics? Can someone clue in poor Gurney here?

    I don’t even know what to think anymore

    Tonight we watched Argo at my house. Great movie. It’s been 7-8 years since I last saw it. Looking back at the Iranian crisis of 79-80, it just keeps dawning on me how much our foreign policy has been a total disaster for the past 50 years or so. Installing a puppet Shah in Iran. He ends up...

    I don’t even know what to think anymore

    Why don’t you just address me personally, Nick. Instead of the hokey insult of “Putin apologist” and the somewhat obvious “longer and longer” not-so-cryptic reference, just say my name. You don’t address my points, just lay out blanket hyperbole. That gets old. You never address...

    I don’t even know what to think anymore

    I think Rus lays things out well. When Putin was mounting up massive troops along the Ukrainian border, I thought it was bluster, saber-rattling, bravado aimed toward negotiations. I never thought he’d actually invade. I was wrong. And I was disappointed. Putin’s invasion brought NATO closer...

    Guess which three countries Reader and Mrs. Gurney went to this summer?
