You are more than welcome to cite the actual Geneva convention to show where I'm wrong.

The areas of Missouri are just low income. I'm from Kansas and I noticed a couple of our yellow counties are college towns.

The Chinese government is paying huge incentives for every car sold. This is their way of gaming the system to subsidize their industry and undercut non-Chinese auto makers.

Russia is part of Asia. Reasons include geography and the lasting impact of Mongol rule over the Russians. We witness the effects still today.

If they moved the nuclear enrichment, that would have destroyed the process too. No way to keep the centrifuges spinning at a constant rate while moving them.

Anyone see Chucky?

My wife buys gift cards to restaurants with quality food (usually fast casual without table service) and hands them out to the homeless. We also donate razors, feminine products, etc. to a local house that gets supplies out to the homeless.

He also doesn't think billionaires should pay taxes. He is a nutjob. Ignore him.

Just give it back to the Romans or Ottomans. These children living there today need daddy empire to keep them behaved.

I've already been born so my odds should be updated.

If that's your metric, then I think Israel meets it. Iran has sponsored and directed non-state actors in Israel. These include both Hamas and Hezbollah. Additionally, Houthi militants have targeted Israeli civilian shipping.

An official declaration of war is not required. These nuclear scientists are not protected by the Geneva convention because Iranian nuclear infrastructure, including persons, are military targets. The purpose is to destroy Iran's nuclear capacity and that's a purposeful military objective.

Massie is wrong (again). The president has rights to take actions against foreign nations. These are immediate and brief in nature. Like bombing a nuclear weapons facility. For additional action over time he needs Congress.

Honestly, that's what they need to hear. The woman in your example was an 18 year old adult and couldn't handle basic chores. There's no way she's going to thrive if she needs to whine to ransoms online every time she's gotta do something mildly unpleasant.

Civilian nuclear scientists working in enrichment are not protected by the Geneva convention. Technically it is legal to kill them when engaged in warfare.

Just to play devils advocate, what circumstances is it legitimate for Israel to attack Iran?

For anyone who wishes to give such a narrow analysis should read "AA-1025: The Memoirs of an Anti-Apostle," a memoir recovered from a man who died in an auto accident. "AA" here refers to "Anti-Apostle," a man recruited by the Soviet Union to enter Catholic seminary to subvert it from inside. He was the 1025th such person recruited for that job. Among the works of these anti-apostles was to recruit homosexuals into the seminaries. Especially the most perverse of the homosexuals. Many seminaries became home of large homosexual orgies and men who wished to join the seminary for legitimate reasons went away. These deviant men, recruited to be a source of decay within the Church, are the men who abused children. Almost all the abuse was homosexual in nature, a stark contrast to society at large. They also wreckovated Catholic architecture, replacing the beautiful with the banal, the ugly. They did the same to the Catholic Mass following Vatican II and we are only now beginning to recover from these things.

Interesting enough, the abuse crisis is exactly what caused the reform to undo the work of the anti-apostles. There is a significant contrast between priests who came up in the 1950's and 1960's and priests who are being ordained today. If you want to rape boys, you have much better opportunity elsewhere. All eyes are on the priests. People like you talk about how priests are members of a pedophile ring. Who wants that reputation? If you really do want to rape boys, you become a public school teacher or you coach youth sports. If you become a priest despite the glares, the insults, and the threats, then you must really believe what the Church teaches about sin, virtue, death, judgement, heaven, and hell.

The inflection point was the moment Pope Benedict XVI ordered a clearing out of the seminaries. Each house of formation and education was to be investigated with the purpose of rooting out those who abuse their positions for perverse desires and who are not focused on the mission of the Church. At this point good men could make their way through seminary without being rooted out by the perverts. The mainstreaming of the LGBTQ+ movement has taken anyone with any interest in that lifestyle and given them a much easier outlet. The respect and cover offered by the priesthood is gone and society celebrates what the church sees as sin. Those persons whose focus was on adult relationships have society celebrating their choices. Those who want to abuse children, they are entering professions with easier access. In the past few years I have seen multiple "teacher of the year" winners be disgraced by charges of child sexual abuse. We see in these people an "emotional congruence with minors," something that does come off as a good when teaching but has a devilish underbelly of perverse desire and abuse.

Times have changed. If you wish to see how, I encourage you to visit parishes staffed by newly ordained priests. You will notice a serious difference from what you saw years ago.

He is also banking on the hope that Iran doesn't launch weapons at US bases because he hasn't publicly committed. He will let Iran use-up their weapons vs. Israel before the US commits.

If you read the scopes article, the number is zero and zero is a great number. "The human remains found by the Commission are not in a sewage tank but in a second structure with 20 chambers..." How did these children die? Were they murdered? Was there a pandemic? Neglect? Famine? Over what time range was this collective grave used?

After the story in Canada that sparked the burning of multiple churches was found out to be entirely false, I'm going to wait for actual facts here.
