You'd have thought that a real sign of end-times lawlessness would be when lawbreakers are no longer being caught and locked up because the police and the justice system have collapsed under the strain.

Being against tattoos because some people are impulsive or thoughtless when they get inked makes about as much sense as being against clothes because some people have no taste in fashion.

Yeah, of course it's important to be sure of what you want, and to be sure you'll always want it. It took me months to choose my first design.

why does every turk deny the genocide?

It used to be a different story. For a few months after Ottoman defeat in the First World War, the massacres were openly acknowledged and condemned in the press and parliament in Istanbul. That lasted until around May 1919 when the Greeks occupied Izmir. After that, accusations by foreign powers of mass killings of Armenians started to look to Turkish nationalists like a pretext for carving up the Empire, so in their minds denial of the genocide became linked with defiance against occupation and partition. It was a habit that stuck.

If you personally haven't seen evidence to a claim, it's ok to deny something.

Saying "I haven't personally seen evidence, so I don't know whether or not it's true" is one thing. Saying "I haven't personally seen evidence, so I know for a fact it's not true" is another.

If you've ever been around and talked to Holocaust deniers and seen how hard they work at disbelieving -- the straws they'll clutch at to support their arguments -- you'd know that Holocaust denial is rarely motivated by honest skepticism.

Like a lot of paranoid conspiracy fantasists, Holocaust deniers like to portray themselves as shrewd, hard-headed skeptics. But it seems to me that in reality, they're hook-line-and-sinker gullible types who are more ready than most to gulp down any half-baked nonsense if it reinforces their prejudices.

You would think the man would have joined ISIS and not the irrelevant Al Qaeda. Add stupidity for the list of reasons he got caught beside being an obvious terrorist.

I doubt he "joined" anything. He probably didn't even care which name he chose to claim an attack under. Just felt a need to dress up killing for kicks by pretending there was a "cause" behind it.

He didn't ban religion. He banned travel from like 7 countries.

Not likely to make a significant difference to security then, is it?

It is when even Obama agreed those were the 7 countries with the highest risk of terroristic activity.

In all the years when travel from those countries wasn't banned and their nationals were free to enter and leave the US, how many terrorists who attacked targets in the US have originated from those particular countries? If the answer's none, how do you quantify a "significantly greater risk"?

It was a war fought by proxy, a conflict in which millions died. But they died in Asia and Africa, not North America or Europe, which is why Americans and Europeans imagine it was a bloodless conflict.

Watching a conservative applaud a US withdrawal from the UNHRC on moral grounds because one of Uncle Sam's biggest arms clients is sitting on it is like watching a particularly stupid puppy yapping mindlessly at its own reflection, only less endearing.

dont care. the UN "humanity council" has always been a hypocritical shit show.

Yeah at least America is straightforward with their lack of fucks to give.

"Straightforward". Did you just fart, or is that your brain I can smell? An administration that condemns the UNHRC for turning a blind eye to human rights violations by the same regime that the administration is heavily arming is an administration so stinking rotten with bullshit lies, cynicism and two-faced hypocrisy that only morons, moral cowards and asslickers would unconditionally support it. Plenty of those to go around in America, unfortunately.

Trump shit-lickers who blast the UNHRC for its hypocrisy over Saudi Arabia's disgusting human rights record should at least have the balls to whisper a word of criticism against their orange god for his pushing of multi-billion dollar arms deals with the regime in Riyadh.

Because you're a taxi driver, and it's probably not that well lit in the back of the taxi.

I find it a tad implausible that people are rational and knowledgeable enough to recognize a linkage between eating pork and illness, but nevertheless ignore the known risks and continue to raise pigs and eat pork anyway, and it's not until someone finally tells them they're pissing off a supernatural entity that they decide to stop.

I mean, how ancient is the history of raising pigs for food in the Middle East? Why did no one think before all these superstitions that eating pork might be a bad idea, if the supposed risks were so widely and well known? Why did it take some half-baked nonsense about the will of God before pig farmers packed in what was presumably a long family tradition and consumers gave up bacon at last?

It's like people having long known the links between smoking tobacco and cancer, yet refusing to stop smoking and only giving up cigarettes after God tells them it's bad for their spiritual health.

I'd say that whatever forced the change in diet (let's face it, it was probably the dire threats of punishment by anti-pork zealots), it had little to do with a common sense acceptance that pigs were a bit nasty. Otherwise, people wouldn't have farmed them and eaten pork for so long.

Is there any evidence that pigs spread diseases more easily than other livestock? Or that they're more difficult to prevent from straying onto neighbouring land, or use up far more resources than, say, goats or sheep who have a pesky disregard for imaginary boundaries and a tendency to overgraze?

So you dont have an argument

Unless you can name some of the slave labour camps set up for American blacks after 1945, or pinpoint the ghettoes with starvation rations which blacks were forbidden to leave on pain of death in the 1950s, your "post-war American Holocaust was exactly the same as the Nazi Holocaust only with a smaller body count" argument isn't going to stand up either.

Here's your problem: you can't just type up any old dogshit you feel like and demand that people gulp it down without question. If you've got a valid point, don't bury it under dogshit. You could have drawn genuine parallels between the Tuskegee Experiment and some of the Nazi medical experiments on human beings, for example, but no; you couldn't resist the temptation to take it too far and claim that everything the Nazi authorities did -- short of mass extermination -- was mirrored perfectly by US government policy after 1945.
