Especially C&H. Possibly because I identify so much with Calvin. Tom ETA ~The IIDB staff can give you more information on that ~

Back in the aftermath of 9/11, Two groups expressed an experience of "Act of God". The Abrahamic God to be precise. Muslim people thought it God smiting The Great Satan. Jerry Falwell considered it God passing judgement on pro-gay abortionists. Two experiences of an act of God. The same God...

Given modern advances in robotics and drones, I don't think anyone has to be within 100 yards of the device to deliver the bomb to the target. It's one of the scary things about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The degree to which drones are advancing, becoming both cheap and effective. Tom

You have a good day. You've demonstrated what I meant and said. Quite clearly. Thanks for being such a sport. Tom

I understand why you aren't interested. Reality doesn't work for you. Similarly, reality doesn't work for the Teaparty Christian Nationalists who live around here. Okay. I get it. I'm used to it. Tom

" I've been married to a dude for over thirty years. You are claiming that that makes me physically different from straight guys." Nevermind. You gender ideologues will not even notice anything that doesn't match your narrative. Tom

I've been married to a dude for over thirty years. You are claiming that that makes me physically different from straight guys. Which part of "Fuck you and the horse you rode in on" are you having trouble understanding? Tom

Ok I pointed out the facts. Children are not expected or legally able to make all of the choices adults are able to choose. That is a fact. I explained why, at length. I provided examples of similar situations. I made a fact based assertion. Backed it up with reasoning. And some examples...

I don't understand @Emily Lake subsequent post, But I'll tell you flat out. My "physical configuration" is male. There is nothing important about me that is not male. That might inconvenience your gender ideological purity, but it's the reality. If anything, I'm kinda at the macho-shithead...

While both matter, I can't help but believe that 2) is the more critical thing. As the proportion of the population who are either vaccinated or dead rises the proportion of plague rats drops. The resulting increases in herd immunity protects all of us. Vaccinated or not. At risk or not...

Yay! for Biden. Tom

Anybody with any familiarity of the history would understand why Israeli folks won't allow that anytime in the foreseeable future. And while I realize that a bunch of Americans have dumped fundamental American values (preferring to melt down the Statue of Liberty and make Wall sections out of...

Here in the modern world you only need to sell it to a tiny group of people to get it done. It only took 19 determined people to accomplish 9/11. McVeigh and Nichols blew up a federal building in Oklahoma If a couple of people had access to nuclear waste and few more people would help, they...

I once said something similar on a religious forum. "Best thing for Peace in Israel is a dirty bomb on temple Mount". Boy oh boy, did people disagree! And, "Well, God could stop it from exploding if He wants to do so." didn't really help matters. Tom

The subject I posted about is that children don't get to choose the way adults do. Tom
