So what spiritual significance had this meat-to-milk thing before the ban was lifted? Before the cross did its thing why should my very salvation be contingent upon such a trifle as meat with milk?

Not surprising that your hero is a violent psychopath. And dumb as a stump.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

My Old Man was flown in about three months after D-Day. He was a sergeant with the intel corps. Staff S-2 for a bunch of differing commands across Europe. As a chemist in training when he was drafted he spoke German. Most chemistry back then was German (understatement). Met a pretty German girl in Berlin and wrote some sweet love poems to her.Yeah. Some of us remember.

That never stopped him from finding funding for those things he wants to do. How about doing something that needs to be done?

Well, thank god they're doing something right.

Typical rightist demagoguery.You twist what #Metoo was all about.For ever, literally, women who have been raped/abused who complain have become the victims of character assassination while their complaints were ignored. They were ignored by the dominant male culture, the power structure in society as well as in law, that think women are sex toys to be used.#Metoo is not about guilt until proven innocent. It is about giving credence to the complaint and providing the same evidenced-based inquest we afford any other criminal complaint.Look at those rich and powerful accused. Until #Metoo they were able to avoid any problem since they needn't provide any defense whatsoever. With #Metoo we learn they could not provide any defense for their crime(s) and their entire facade of male superiority vanished along with their brash egotistical personalities.Why does the alt-Reich complain so bitterly about seeking justice? Maybe because it is staffed by misogynists?While I'm here.What's with all this Clinton bashing? I know the alt-Reich needs a boogyman to hate but, in case you folks haven't been informed, Billary (neither of them) are a threat to you any more. They are not running for office.Frankly, she would have been a much better choice than the dysfunctional cloddish dolt presently in the White House. Even Bill would have been a better vote and he can't even run.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Even though we raise our voices in support of the Chinese protestors there is little our government can do to affect that support. This is an internal Chinese affair and we, as a civilized member of the international community, must respect the international law and custom that keeps us from intervening in their affairs just as it keeps them from intervening in our domestic affairs.An official expression of concern, a statement in support of human rights (something we used to be known for), would be appropriate.More appropriate would be an effort to curb the human rights abuses we are perpetrating along our own southern border. It won’t help the Chinese achieve their freedom but it would lend credence and legitimacy to our words of loving freedom and respect for human rights.This would enhance our standing in the international community. Unfortunately, that is something our government doesn’t seem to be interested in any longer.

Maybe because of the liberal healthcare and education benefits provided by their society.

I wouldn't think so, no.

The Chinese Health and Education policies are quite real. Further, compared to some societies those policies might be considered center left with great support from the society.Unlike the USofA the Chinese can see that a healthy educated populace is better for the long term strength of the nation. Unfortunately, they don't feel the same way about human and individual rights thus the present protests.

Whether they are here illegally of not they ARE being mistreated. Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Because the media, the government's own reporting agencies and the courts say so.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Since Hong Kong is on and a part of the Chinese mainland controlled by China (remember Hong Kong is not independent) immigration is not an issue.BTW, the Chinese military has been quietly building up thousands of troops and tanks near Hong Kong this last week. Hong Kong's special political status, already hanging by a thread, is about to be cut.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Let anarchy reign.

There have always been segments of our society that chafe at them foreigners coming into our country with their strange ways taking over our jobs and our neighborhoods breathing our air. We didn’t like the Irish or the Germans when they came here. We didn’t like the French Canadians or the Chinese that came after. We really didn’t like those Italian and the Swedes and Norwegians that followed after that. Then came the Lebanese and Syrians, the Jews, the Filipinos, more Asians, Vietnamese, Laotians and the Hmong.Segments of our society treated all these newcomers with contempt and cruelty with fears of changing demographics and shifting political powers.Today it is the Hispanics.The difference today is that it is not just some segments of our society but the official acts of our government that perpetrates the contempt and cruelty against these people.It doesn’t matter about the legalities. When the official stance of my government is to herd children into cages without adequate water, sanitation (we can’t give them soap or toothbrushes for god’s sake!?), concrete floors, inadequate ventilation and all day — all night light in my name!?This is not humane. This is not American. This is pure official Reich-wing Republican evil. This is Trump.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.
