From what I've been seeing CNN and MSNBC with many gay leaders and people interviewed, it doesn't look like LGBTs are making the connection.  We'll see after the initial shock wears off.

They pick and choose whom to put on the air...

Somehow, at the end of the day (last time we use that term k?) it will all be Trump's fault.

Its too late now, but i ment as a species we would had been better off with out the concept of gods, relgions etc.

Yeah, we're a little too absolutist in our thinking, in general. It's funny you bring it up though because most of the day I couldn't help speculating that were I powerful enough to control the pieces on the world chess board what would I do to steer the game the way I wanted? If my aim was a socialist world government that stove to operate as scientifically as possible it would be necessary to do away with fundamental and irreconcilable difference that exist between different religions. Since this will likely prove to be an intractable problem then perhaps eliminating religion altogether would be the only way of possibly achieving this.  ???

I say we start with the Unitarians- they'll offer the least resistance.

OK.  The shock's over.  We are back to commercials and weather forecast.

That would take years of discussions, lectures, arguing of points and jibber-jabbering about minutiae.

Hopefully, someday we will have a thread called Breakng News. Good.
Could have some good news come next November.  Depending on how things turn out.

You might be right...but this is a pretty big one.

I'm going to withhold expressing any opinions on this matter until I hear what George Noory and Alex Jones have to say about it.  Maybe it never happened.  Maybe it's another false flag like Sandy Hook.  Another piece of the global conspiracy to lock us all up in FEMA camps and dungeons under all those empty Walmarts.
Finally... A voice of reason.

Because you were making it sound like England was the aggressor in a situation they somehow misread. They did misread it but not in that way. They were appeasing Hitler shortly before that.
I hate to be the one to say it.  So, I will let a historian say it, instead...

"Up until Churchill’s appointment as prime minister both Germany and Britain had stuck to a pledge not to attack targets in each other’s cities where civilians were at risk. Overy dismisses the long-held belief ‘firmly rooted in the British public mind’ that Hitler initiated the trend for indiscriminate bombings. Instead, he says, the decision to take the gloves off was Churchill’s, ‘because of the crisis in the Battle of France, not because of German air raids [over Britain]."

Richard Overy does not absolve German (nor Hitler) of all responsibility- but he does make it clear that the allies may have a little more to answer for than most people believe.  I actually read a massive book of newpaper articles from WWII presented in chronological order and was shocked to find that the British were reporting their bombings (proudly, back then) as successes before there were many articles about Germany bombing them.  It was interesting to read the historical account in chronological order...

And cut a check to Falkie, too. It's the right thing to do.

The world would be a better place with out religions in general.

i have said this time and again..we do not need religion..people need spirituality ...but in a way it seems most of this stems from Abrahamic Religions
