They seem to keep hitting their fundraising goals each quarter. So quite a few to get to the ridiculous 80k.

Of course those are self-reported totals so we have no idea how accurate they really are. I've noticed that their last couple of fundraisers have been kind of anemic compared to just a couple of years ago, so who knows how much they really raise nowadays.

Well yeah, the point is are they lying about the donation numbers because if people saw the real numbers they would feel more dejected?

I hate to be all :tinfoil: but if those were real that's a shitload of money given how long the site has existed.

Reason number one is that it is not Christianity. Reason number two is that they see the writing on the wall when the muslims take over through a preponderance of numbers. muslim women have their babies and they have a bunch of them. In 18 years a baby becomes a voter. American women abort their babies and they do not have many of them. With just the number of muslims over here now, let alone the millions that will be bought here, anyone with eyes can see where this is headed.

Daylight Savings Time: secret Islamic plot to take over the world. :psyboom:

quote:

To: E. Pluribus Unum

Daylight Savings Time, a useless construct that doesn’t actually save any energy, is something I always believed was pushed by islamist moles within government. The extra daylight allows them to minimize work schedule conflicts with having to be at home before sundown at certain times of the year.

Don’t forget the Crusades - as taught in school, this is Christians being bad, but they never provide the context that the Crusades were basically a response to Islamic expansion. Muslims were all the way up to northern spain before the first crusade took place.

So, if it was “bad” for Christians to invade muslim territory in the name of religion, why isn’t it just as bad that the muslims invaded Europe?

You won’t hear that side of the story in school.

And while you’re at it, elect a 2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your counties. If you can’t show up to protect your families and communities, then learn how to yodel and bow to the muslim moon god.

These leftist simpletons have names and addresses. Go visit them and tell these castrated fools that they’re no longer welcome in the community. Ostracize them.

That’s a fact. Spring local elections get about 10-12% of the electorate voting. If Conservatives got off their fat, mammon-worshipping butts and voted in serious numbers, they could take over local schoolboards, county councils, city and town councils and township boards.

If conservatives controlled even half the local governments, the entire criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington would collapse in less than a year.

The Founders understood that and created Committees of Safety to control the local governments. In fact, the Committees of Safety were so powerful that they kicked the king’s governor out of South Carolina before the Sullivan Island battle in Charleston Harbor in 1776.

Summation of the DemocRAT debate:

It is evil to be financially successful and we will steal your money to buy our own power.

Is is wonderful to be a sexual pervert and we will reward you with more status and power.

It is evil to disbelieve in climate change and we will punish you by stealing your money and funding liberal interest groups.

It is a moral good to rob republicans and give to democrats because it buys us power and worship.

People who do not work need to get the money of people who do work in many many ways: college funding, paid leave, etc.

People who were responsible and paid their own tuition or that of their children should be robbed to pay off the debt of those who did not.

Guns are bad and the NRA is evil.

Republicans are evil because they always oppose superior us.

Non citizens are citizens and up is the down and down is the new up.

No, he's outright said it's Death Penalty. I'm still kind of disturbed that he bypassed the disturbing option and somehow found a worse one.

It's especially funny when you consider that outside of a few outliers like Turkey and Morocco the Islamic world does not observe DST. So I guess that means that DST was really created to stop the scourge of Islam from spreading. (and Arizona is secretly part of the Worldwide Caliphate)

No the reason that they don't observe it is because it actually stands for Dhimmi Super-Taqqiya and it's a plot to steal hours from non-Muslim countries. Arizona is the only place that has woken up and opposed Obamatime.

I say gently caress it, let them fly their confederate flag on their car, then make them park in Downtown Flint and see who gets shot first

I hate to be all :tinfoil: but if those were real that's a shitload of money given how long the site has existed.

Eh, given the whole "Can't ever be wrong, always right, always more!" mentality, they probably hit the amount it takes to keep the site going and any extra is the cut the couple admins get. They just post 80k in hopes that people will donate their "pay" on top of the miniscule amount for the site. Hence why it never loving updates into more modern setups, that would cost money and cut into their profit portion.

Since kids in junior high and high school won't get much from nuanced, lengthy explanations of conflicts that could fill a series of studies, the Crusades was told in a simple way. Christendom invaded some places, Caliphates invaded some places, religion was a factor. The end. We still tell our kids that Christopher Columbus discovered America because it's a nice fable about perseverance and discovery, same way we don't tell them that their toys were probably made by children their age in some hellhole. Sleep tight, kids!

What's the chance that these people forgot what their own public school education was like or that they were home-schooled entirely?

Americans Are Void of Critical Thinking Skills

Hence the low-info voter.

Also, I think it's important to have a "Truth" detector to separate the wheat from the chafe.

During the time that I've been a FReeper, I've had the occasion to read thoughts and posts from many hundreds of FReepers and it seems the common theme is that, for the most part, we all share a Christian or Jewish worldview.

Now, that's not to say we don't have many non-believers here too, and I know several who are brilliant, but the majority of us follow God's Word the best we are able.

Having said this, I ask the question:

Is it too late for America to recover from it's collective lack of critical thinking skills?

Daylight Savings Time, a useless construct that doesn’t actually save any energy, is something I always believed was pushed by islamist moles within government. The extra daylight allows them to minimize work schedule conflicts with having to be at home before sundown at certain times of the year.

I wonder how much Deal is getting in bribes and kickbacks because he sure as gently caress doesn't ever do a good deed for free.

Blast the original carving and reincorporate it as a small part of a gigantic carving of every major conflict fought by and in the U.S.

The Union gets to reclaim Stone Mountain and the Confederate symps get to whine about MAH HERITAGE being marginalized.

I don’t get it, Lando Calrissan was black.

BUT, Lando served an important role in the story, they needed a balck guy but got him into more than a token role. The screenwriters did a great job with that.

It remaims to be seen what this role is, he may end up being the Jar Jar of the sequel trilogy.

Oh..... that an unfortunate realization.

So this guy is BLACK. So what?? He is merely another human being among many others. As far as so-called “diversity” is concerned, try to remember back to the Cantina scenes in Mos Eisley. There was true diversity for you. more varying life forms than you could count.
All through the Star Wars films, NON-human were very often the heroes, heroines, stars and central characters as well as villans, and we rooted for them or sneered at them.
Goodness me, a person with a BLACK skin. We’ve had white, blue, green, multi-hued, fish scales, and fur, so all of a sudden this must be a big deal.

Dang, way to miss the point, John!

Well...I haven’t read your mail. Maybe there are people who have a problem with black characters in Star Wars.

Not me. Mace Windu and Lando Calrissian added wonderfully inimitable parts to the whole.

My problem (such a “first world problem”!) is that as far as I know, all stormtroopers are clones of Jango Fett (played by a Maori).

Perhaps the story will explain that other warriors were cloned in later generations of stormtroopers. Or that they dropped the clone idea and started open enlistments.

Anyway, that’s the point. Not that you’re black, but that you are a stormtrooper. It doesn’t fit the known narrative.

Oh well....you can’t be all as awesome as Sam or Billy Dee :)

The Stormtoopers were suppose to be clones of Jango Fett. Jango was played by Temuera Morrison who is Maori, Scottish, and Irish.
A black stormtrooper does not make sense in this context anymore then a red head or a Japanese one would.

This has nothing to do with race but with continuity of the story line.

It would be like having Gandolph be played by a Orc, Rudolph be played by a giraffe or Frosty by a tree. The break jars you and ruins suspension of disbelief that is necessary to enjoy the story.

Of course, that followed up on the first movie which cribbed from 'Triumph of the Will'.

Classic EU waffled back and forth between stormtroopers being clones and volunteers/conscripts. Disney however nuked classic EU from orbit and one of the first things they established in the new batch of comics was that all stormtroopers are ordinary humans who either volunteered or were drafted.

As a hypernerd I approve of this derail :goonsay:
