kill your rights to device ownership and what’s left of free speech and expression.

I hate this shit as much as the next guy, but can we cool it with the exaggerations, please? There is no more free speech and expression in the US now because of this? What? When it comes to free speech, we're crying wolf at this point. I agree that this bill is terrible and a move in the wrong direction, but it's not exactly killing off free speech. I mean, come on. People can't take us seriously when we talk like this.

What are you talking about?

... Leo isn't fictional.

Because God's absolute morality somehow changes over time while still being absolute, because something or other that makes no sense.

Where is he getting that information, exactly? Can this be independently verified?

Big f---ing /s on this one...

You asked me an irrelevant question, because the original point, to which you replied, was not if bombing stuff did anything.

I think you've misread something. The statement I replied to was this one:

The only bombing that actually led to results was the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

In that statement, you made the claim that no other bombing than those of Hiroshima and Nagasaki did anything. I'm challenging that claim, which means I'm saying "I'm not convinced that your claim is true". Don't confuse that with me saying "I'm convinced that your claim is false".

That's irrelevant to this point. I asked you a yes / no question. You're free to concede the point if you don't want to answer.

So the bombing of tanks, factories, trains, and bridges did nothing?

stir them up a bit more just by being there minding your own business speaking “foreign” and looking tanned
