It should be in proper English: not these new interpretations—as if they could re-write the Bible—blasphemy! I say.

1 And God spake all these wordes ad saide:

2 I am the Lorde thy God, which haue brought the out of the londe of Egipte ad out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt haue none other goddes in my syght.

4 Thou shalt make the no grauen ymage, nether any symilitude that is in heauen aboue, ether in the erth beneth, or in the water that ys beneth the erth.

5 Se that thou nether bowe thy sylf vnto them nether serue them: for I the Lorde thy God, am a gelouse God, and viset the synne of the fathers vppon the childern vnto the third and fourth generacion of the that hate me:

6 and yet shewe mercie vnto thousandes amonge them that loue me and kepe my commaundmentes.

7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lorde thy God in vayne, for the Lord wil not holde him giltlesse that taketh his name in vayne.

8 Remebre the Sabbath daye that thou sanctifie it.

9 Sixe dayes mayst thou laboure ad do al that thou hast to doo:

10 but the seuenth daye is the Sabbath of the Lorde thy God, in it thou shalt do no maner worke: nether thou nor thy sonne, nor thy doughter, nether thy manservaunte nor thy maydeservaunte, nether thy catell nether yet the straunger that is within thi gates

11 For in sixe dayes the Lorde made both heauen and erth and the see and all that in them is and rested the seuenth daye: wherfore the Lorde blessed the Sabbath daye and halowed it.

12 Honoure thy father ad thy mother, that thy dayes may be loge in the lode which the Lorde thy God geueth the.

13 Thou shalt not kyll.

14 Thou shalt not breake wedlocke.

15 Thou shalt not steale.

16 Thou shalt bere no false witnesse agest thy neghboure

17 Thou shalt not couet thy neghbours housse: nether shalt couet thy neghbours wife, his maservaunte, his mayde, his oxe, his asse or oughte that is his.

Thou shalt not kill.

no more capital punishment,

and if one sins, God will punish one's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Notably, the poll found that mass deportation was popular with Hispanics, with 53 percent saying they would favor such a program and 47 percent saying they would oppose it. White people were more supportive of mass deportations, with 67 percent saying they would back the program, and 33 percent saying they would oppose it. Among Black people, it was 47 percent in favor and 53 percent opposed.

Anglo farm workers go on strike, and the replacements have been deported.

They send in the police.

Some Anglo workers have their own guns.

Meanwhile oranges are apparently cheaper in Japan, Canada, UK, Switzerland, and Russia than in the US.

Well done, bigots—enjoy you're even higher food prices—and paying Gen As even more to get your grass cut.

at least their countries of origin start to get richer.

"He's allowed Big Tech as well as the looters to take over Silicon Valley. San Francisco has been the science experiment that's gone awry. I wake up in the morning, there's no grocery stores to go to, there's no malls to take my teenage girls shopping to. The streets are not safe, there are more fentanyl users and dealers than high school students in our once great city," she continued.

She sounds totally credible with her definitely non-exaggerated and probably totally truthful statements.

I'll stick to refilling old bottles with tap water.

DMBFFF , 5 days ago

Normally one puts used 2-liter pop bottles into recycling.

Occasionally I reuse one a few times.

Why would I buy a water bottle when I essentially have one—at times several—already?

DMBFFF , 5 days ago

Maybe, but such would be insufficient, IMO.

We must cease using all plastic:

plastic shopping bags, plastic textile bags, nylon, polyester, food wrap, margarine tubs, most electronics, automobiles, electric bikes, pedal bikes, definitely tires, plastic sandwich bags, tea bags, pens, chewing gum, filters, plastic pill bottles, plastic syringes, plastic in diapers, plastic in bandages, plastic in tampons, use only glass bottles for shampoos and conditioners, non-plastic combs and brushes, (most) imitation leather, plastic election signs, plastic gardening pots and trays, plastic garden hoses, plastic piping, plastic fuel containers, plastic casings for batteries, plastic electric chords, plastic in masks for the next pandemic, etc.

Those go into recycling, which, IIUC, mostly go into the landfill because Toronto doesn't rigourously enforce preparing and sorting recyclables enough.

For a while I used a 1.5 liter vodka bottle (mostly as a lark) but it got broken.

Metal containers also aren't transparent—I like to see what I'm drinking.

If re-use of plastic isn't the answer, then recycling is definitely not the answer.

At least 8 billion humans must stop using plastic.

Perhaps a more realistic solution would be to sterilize humanity now: that way, by 2099, the environment will start to significantly improve.

DMBFFF , 4 days ago

I don't use ice nor do I use filters: just straight from the tap.

I just found this. It has the same quote.

At best the movie seems too Poe's law for me.

We don't see women beating up Nazis.

We see SJWs and alt-rightists having shouting matches, few rightists at Gaza protests, and few leftists at Trump rallies (which might be a good thing in the case of the latter 2).

DMBFFF , 16 days ago

When was this B&W pic taken? The 1980s , or before? and he doesn't seem to be recoiling.

Idk what's going on on the campuses or other protests, but it seems to me if the pro-Palestinians are shoved off, it won't be by a few nazi-punks or Israel-flag-wavers, but by the police, and even they are probably reluctant.

If Biden loses it will be because of this (and yes, he'd deserve it).

DMBFFF , 16 days ago

good points. 😁🙂

If so then re-use the helium.

It'd be harder for them to fight Russia.

Presumably,

Mao self-identified as a Communist (or something like it) and is today defended by such.

Deng self-identified as a Communist (or something like it) and is today defended by such (at least by many Chinese).

Palestinians, Gazans, and Jews were victims of the Crusaders.

DMBFFF , 17 days ago

good point.

though I think they were a little bit more socialist in the earlier years.

​

I don't like any of them.

​

might as well throw this in:

wp:Albanian–Chinese split

By the early 1970s, however, Albanian disagreements with certain aspects of Chinese policy deepened as the visit of Nixon to China along with the Chinese announcement of the "Three Worlds Theory" produced strong apprehension in Albania's leadership under Enver Hoxha. Hoxha saw in these events an emerging Chinese alliance with American imperialism and abandonment of proletarian internationalism.

​

The might have been the reasons, or some of the significant reasons, for the protest but I don't think Mao would have tolerated them more than did Deng.

Are you American, and if so, are you voting for Biden? (maybe Trump?)

He's not an ordinary old fuck.

He's been helping pro-Isreal propaganda for decades—a little like George Galloway at times.

not all who oppose Israel's actions regarding Gaza—the mass murder, the genocide, if you will—are good.

This evil man seems to be admired by some.

mostly, presumably, though also some folks in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and maybe even a few Western Universities.

I support forcing their soldiers out.

DMBFFF , 17 days ago

not if they stole it.

DMBFFF , 17 days ago

not the ones who didn't steal land or buy stolen land.

Though that might apply to those in Manhattan, California, and Australia.

This is Lemmy: the Shariah law as practiced by the Maldives doesn't apply here,

nor did the Maldives fight a war for its very existence on the first day of its independence.

wp:Maldives

Since the adoption of the 2008 constitution citizens and anyone wishing to become a citizens are required by law to nominally follow Sunni Islam[176] which would make Maldives a 100% Muslim country in theory.

DMBFFF , 16 days ago

okay.

I hope you enjoyed your visit. 🙂

DMBFFF , 16 days ago

The Jewish presence in Palestine is older than the Muslim.

For that matter, those in the Maldives were Buddhists before they became Muslim.

Instead of blaming the victims of European antisemitism which kind of necessitated Zionism, you might wag your finger at Europe too for this.
