  1. I can't. To me, even if you remove current politics from it, you get the following question: "Can a nation claim land on the legal grounds that an Imaginary Being granted the land to an Imaginary Ancestor, sealed by self-mutilation at a date and time witnessed by no one but recorded for posterity after the fact by people living better than a thousand years later? Pray tell, why should anyone who DOESN'T worship this god be bound by this bequest?
  2. This thread is inherently political. Our only reason to examine the question at hand is steeped in politics.
  3. A Christmas Story WTF Risky Business is right
  4. Quick comment as I digest the latest posts (not exactly a priority): The article linked does not discuss anything resembling an idiom of permission. It says there are idioms. No duh. What Is a Hebrew Idiom? | Learn How They Reveal and Conceal Meaning (voiceofelijah.org) Discussing idioms is not the same thing as discussing an idiom of permission.
  5. "WTF" is sounded out in the preceding clue.
  6. It's "shoot" not "put." "Sometimes you just have to learn to say WTF"
  7. The ex-Muslim atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali recently announced her conversion to Christianity. Her conversion story is steeped in politics, so it's impossible to discuss her story without discussing politics. Ground rules: The validity of her political views are off limits. The validity of her religious views are. Why I am now a Christian - UnHerd I have not read her essay, nor have I listened to the video in the o.p. I will not comment until I do one or the other, preferably both. In case you were wondering why I'm so quiet. :)
  8. more iconic. They played a couple, and each holds the distinction of being the longest serving actor in their role.
  9. They were entertainers. You've likely never seen their faces but almost certainly have heard their voices, especially if you've had kids or grandkids.
  10. This movie featured Dylan McDermott, John Mahoney and Rene Russo.
  11. "There is no place in this world that this man can go and say he created peace and harmony."
  12. Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor were married for 18 years before Wayne's death in 2009. They met at work. What did they do?
  13. Kyrie Elaison is not English or Latin. It's Greek. Meanwhile you should look up the lyrics to Kyrie.
  14. "A man curses because he doesn't have the words to say what's on his mind." *** "'Black: Destitute of light, devoid of color. Enveloped in darkness, hence, utterly dismal or gloomy as, 'The future looked black.'" "Pretty good with them words, ain't ya?" "Soiled with dirt. Foul. Sullen. Hostile. Forbidding, as, 'a black day.' Foully or outrageously wicked as, 'black cruelty.' lndicating disgrace, dishonor or culpability. And there's others. 'Blackmail.' 'Blackball.' 'Blackguard.'" "Yeah, man. That's something, all right." "Let's look up 'white.' Here. Read." "'White: The color of pure snow. Reflecting all the rays of the spectrum. The opposite of black. Free from spot or blemish.' 'lnnocent?' 'Pure.' Huh? Ain't this something?"
  15. When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
  16. You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Amber Heard.
  17. You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you. ;)
  18. You know if I realized the opening post was from 11 years ago I MIGHT not have split the threads.
