Trump does not care about you

It's not judging. Would you not signpost a dangerous stretch of road to let people know to take care? Or just let them find out about the blind corner the hard way?

Generally I don't do that...no.

Well yeah. I really believe Trump only cares when there's political gain for himself. So yeah he'll show up at rallies or whatever bc that's a great way to get votes from that base but with the stuff that is majorly impactful but isn't going to gain him the attn he wants he's not gonna care.

7But He said to me, ‘Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son. Now, therefore, do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite to God from the womb until the day of his death. (Judges chapter 13)

That is the word to the parents of Samson. I'd forgotten this bit, I must confess. Many Christians assume that Lord Jesus was a Nazirite as He was the first born. The command to Samson's mother is presumed to apply to Mary also.

I apologise for misleading you. However, I believe the principle holds good. I know a certain young woman who would be delighted if her mother had followed the same advice.

Trump supports capitalist America not healthy America. Americans want both but these conflict at many points. In practice Americans will choose the former unless something has happened to them personally then they choose the latter (with a tight grip on the former)

True??? Who doesn't really care about a global issue?? But just wants to profit personally at the planetary population's expense?

Where does the majority of the Democratic party stand on abortion (rhetorical), and as such, why would they care about fetal heartbeats?

So based on this you're saying that women should adhere to Biblical instruction given to mothers-to-be of Nazarites, meaning that they should not take ANY alcohol, nor ham or bacon, but as much sugar as they want is OK? And the topic of the thread is Trump having a report rewritten on the danger of a chemical to the unborn yet you have nothing to say about that?

Sounds about par for the course, to me.

I'm not impressed with an article suggesting that an organic solvent is a teratogen, as though we need fear that particular solvent, as opposed to all of the other organic solvents, which are all mostly teratogenic and suspected carcinogens. The fact is that we're fairly limited in our efforts to clean and remove grease from machinery without them. The fact remains that if we eliminate this one, then we'll be using some other organic solvent in its place, until the EPA bans that one, and so on, ad infinitum. I think it goes without saying that pregnant women should stay out of the Safety-Kleen business, and the like.

These complaints are disingenuous. Pregnant women are regularly exposed to one particular organic solvent above all others, familiarly known as gasoline. It's much easier to fight against a chemical most people have never heard of than to fight the one that gets them to work in the morning.

People spend all day farting a greenhouse gas, and then they puff themselves up playing an environmental superhero.

On the face of it, I decided to look up who exactly is making the article you linked to so I could validate it's veracity.


'Journalism' is the production and distribution of reports on events. 'Storytelling' describes the social and cultural activity of sharing stories, sometimes with improvisation, theatrics, or embellishment. Please note, nowhere in their description do they claim to be reporting. It's a legal thing. They call it storytelling, and their articles are called stories. That way if they get called out, they can say they told everyone they were telling stories, not reporting. Play on words here.

Really? Where, because I don't see them .

Interesting to see they claim to have been nominated for Pulitzers. When their parent company is an ad agency:

He is making this huge show atm about how he donated $100K for the coronavirus research, v. obv so that his base will roar w cheers for him. When his budget to Congress makes annual spending cuts of:
$167,000,000 to Health Preparedness
$175,000,000 to Centers for Disease Control
$3,000,000,000 to National Institutes of Health

Plus he's spent more than $132 million on his personal golfing.

Gosh....I swore he said it was there: Luke 1 NASB

Aussie Pete said:

While toxic chemicals are a real issue, there is a worse problem that women can control completely. It is foetal alcohol syndrome. When the angel announced to Mary that she was to bear the Lord Jesus, he warned her not to allow a drop of alcohol into her system. If women were to follow that advice, there would be a lot fewer disabled children.

Which advice? Where? Luke 1 NASB

Are you jealous that you cannot spend that kind of money on your past time, my assumption. Then go make a$132 million yourself.

My apologies. I studied this issue a very long time ago. Sometimes memory is not as reliable as I'd like.

To clarify, the initial command to avoid alcohol was given to Samson's mother. The account is found in Judges 13 and has a lot of similarities to Gabriel's announcement to Mary. I was told that Lord Jesus was a Nazirite as He was the first born. So the implication is that Mary should follow the instructions given to Samson's mother.

At the time I was a member of a Baptist church. You probably know that they frown on alcohol consumption and that may have influenced their interpretation. I no longer believe that Lord Jesus was definitely a Nazirite and He probably did not abstain from alcohol. As to Mary, it is not stated.

You have to be careful with these things. When I was an undergrad they pointed out that only a third of results in rats carry over to humans. I'll try to source that in a bit if I get time
