Trump's idea of somebody NASTY is anyone who won't buckle and kiss his whatever! Of did you not hear him say this? Mocking and seeking to degrade all nations of the world? Look get this straight....if the U.S. is calling us nasty (through it's leadership) the rest of the world looks upon that that it should be considered as a badge of honor. They KNOW inside themselves they all need to tell Trump to go jump in the lake.He isn't insulting all Canadians - read the quotes - he is describing what it is like dealing with Canadian LEADERSHIP
Once again you deliberately and dishonestly quote a portion of my post, thereby giving a different meaning from the one I intended. I made it clear that there were more plausible and benign explanations for your questionable action. By repeating the offence you have eliminated those as viable options. Shame on you.Says the recalcitrant procrastinating ape.
It always seems like the give give give charity push is always put on people who are barely scraping by.
Like I always feel pressured to give when I'm disabled and already in debt I'll never be able to pay off.
This all happens in the context of: Acts 16: 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized.ACTS 16:15 reads , And when she and her household were BAPTIZED /. BAPTISO. , is in. the Aorist Tense , means it happened in. the past ,
is in the PASSIVE VOICE , MEANING Christ had a hand in verse 15
in the INDICATIVE MOOD , meaning you better believe it ,
and is in. the Singular , meaning it will. not happen again !
Your thoughts as to what , the BAPTISM is with Water or without Water
OR is it Baptism of the Holy Spirit ?

I think this is different for Christians and non Christians. For Christians I think theres two aspects. There is the gospel but also following the teachings. They should go hand in hand. But there is an identifiable way of living (fruits of the spirit) we can tell.Should Christians condemn people to Hell?
After answering, explain why
Eclipse what a climate scientist makes and an oil executive makes really has no bearing. Big business invests in both. It suits them just fine with all the climate mongering. They invest both ways. Either way oil prices are kept a whole lot higher than they should be and we pay through the teeth both ways. Be it by oil and fuel exploitation or by climate infrastructure exploitation . It’s always the everyday person that is milked and who has to foot the bill.View attachment 367649
I'm sorry but I think you got that back to front!
Climate scientists might earn $100k a year - but a Big Oil CEO probably earns that in their lunchbreak. Tell me - who has more motivation to lie?
Who has been CAUGHT lying? Exxon scientists predicted global warming with 'shocking skill and accuracy,' Harvard researchers say
Climate scientists are data driven people analysing tough questions in a slow and methodical and laborious way, trying to help the human race. Yet they get death threats from the foaming-at-the-mouth alt right for this valuable work? What has them so outraged? Ah - they perceive there are those who want to "control society". You said you believe in conspiracy theories? The link above proves one!
Also, climate change IS a thing. It's almost backyard science - indeed - Mythbusters proved the basic physics. In 1856 Eunice Foote put identical thermometers in identical glass jars in identical sunlight and filled them with different gases. Lo and behold! The CO2 jar was hot - and the methane jar even hotter! Imagine! Science works! Basically - this was old, settled physics before our grandparents even went to kindergarten.
Other points to consider:-
Why own an EV?
CHEAPER! Electricity as a fuel is cheaper than oil, and EV’s have no engine to service. Over the life of the vehicle they are cheaper. Soon they’ll be cheaper to buy outright!
PATRIOTIC
If we remain dependent on oil, we prop up the oil price so Petro-Tyrants like Russia and various Middle East types make extra profits. If the price lowers, we bankrupt our enemies.
POLLUTION COSTS MORE THAN THE SOLUTION!
4 universities studied global fossil fuel pollution: it kills 8 million people a year - that’s 1 in 5 deaths in 2018.
Deaths from fossil fuel emissions higher than previously thought
The EXTRA health costs to the world is $5 TRILLION a year.
Stop funding pollution
IEA estimates we only need to spend $4 Trillion a year on the Energy Transition. https://www.iea.org/reports/net-zero-by-2050
The sooner we do this, the sooner it pays for itself!
OIL IS FINITE
Oil does not run out any time soon - maybe in 50 years or so. But that's not what is important. Peak oil means after decades of ramping up a field is at its peak - and then starts to decline. GLOBAL peak oil means global oil output will peak - and then start to decline. Imagine the price? Imagine the geopolitical tensions - when it takes 10 calories of energy to grow 1 calorie of food?
At current rates - Oil RUNS OUT in about 50-ish years. Gas is less, and even COAL just over a century.
Years of fossil fuel reserves left
QUESTION: considering Japan bombed pear harbour because they were under an energy embargo - can you see any potential downsides to NOT preparing for peak oil? It takes a decent amount of energy to mine and refine the various metals for batteries. The long term goal is to not use any fossil fuels - and recycle all these metals we've mined into the new EV's. But the first generation is going to take some oil to get there! How about we prepare BEFORE some kind of peak oil Armageddon? Sounds like an idea to me! Peak oil - Wikipedia
Even if they played "sanitized" rap, the people who are upset now that they can't bring their own speakers to play their own music loudly in the public spaces will still be unsatisfied.I was referring to "clean" rap as in not explicit in its unfiltered form (which is why I referencing the cheesy old Will Smith and Vanilla Ice stuff). If you're referring to "clean edits" where they simply blank out the explicit content or do 'word replacement' in post editing, there is industry data to show that it's not terribly popular.
Sales Impact
- Albums with the warning label saw a 30% boost in sales.
- Hip-hop albums with the label often outperformed their "clean" versions by 3:1
Modern Numbers
The digital age brought new ways to mark explicit content, but the impact remains strong:
The warning label transformed from a cautionary sign into a powerful marketing tool. What started as an attempt to limit sales created a new revenue stream for artists and labels. Now, the label serves as a content guide and a proven sales booster across physical and digital platforms.
- Streaming platforms flag 65% of hip-hop content as explicit
- Labeled tracks get 35% more plays than clean versions
- 80% of listeners prefer explicit versions when available
Cultural Reach
- 8 out of 10 Billboard #1 Rap/Hip-Hop albums in 2022 carried explicit content warnings
- 65% of music consumers aged 18-24 view the label as a mark of authenticity
So, I would suggest that it's a tad dishonest for people to try to pretend "it's just like every other genre, it's just peoples' skewed perceptions".
Thank you for sharing your perspective it’s a thoughtful and necessary reminder that church discipline must always be handled with deep humility, reverence, and spiritual discernment.Anybody that treats discipline casually should remember, "with what measure you judge, it will be judged against you". Only the most egregious sins warrant church discipline in the form of expulsion, ones that threaten the good order of a church. Using it to shame, humiliate, or control other people isn't right.
I hear you. I keep telling myself not to worry about what appears to be deadly snakes in the raging river of rubbish that comes out of Trump's mouth - as he uses these trolling moments to distract from the bigger agenda. But then every so often the sheer arrogant hypocrisy of it appears to let them through my guard. I'm so busy thinking of how to explain why this is wrong to MAGA types - that I might forget the real agenda - the swarm of crocodiles and hippos in his two word answer: "I dunno!".I'm glad the Trump administration is so concerned with human trafficking. No deplorables here.
The fact is that for the 400 years before Augustine all the Church Fathers spoke of man's responsibility in salvation, that man is free.Xeno why didn’t the Catholic Church continue to lay the foundation of St Augustine’s theology. It’s seems to have retreated in the archives of the ages for nearly a millennia. Until the Reformation
