He thinks Putin is a “genius” for this move, and is certainly getting no thanks from Ukrainians for such statements.

“I hope you'll be happy to learning that out of all the Western countries, Ukrainians are sincerely thankful to the UK and Poland. The two have done an incredible job of supporting Ukraine.” This is a message just sent to me by one of my Ukrainian friends. It seems Ukrainians are thankful for...

I’m curious, as ex-military yourself, what do you think we should do to reign Putin in?

I’m still alive and well! Don’t know why, but I was curious what TOL was saying about the Ukraine situation today and decided to come and say hi!

Like you, I hate war. War is never good. Sometimes though, we have to defend ourselves against an evil oppressor. This is the situation Ukraine now finds themselves in - and like I said before, what happens if Putin doesn’t stop at Ukraine? We in the west need to do something, and we need to do...

I wonder how many people commenting on this crisis have been to Ukraine? I have, twice. It’s a beautiful country with lovely and hospitable people, but has many problems with poverty and corruption. The fact of the matter is that Ukrainians don’t want to be Russian, and Russia has attacked a...

I never thought I’d see the day when this angry, dishonest man would get banned. I even had to come out of hibernation just to check if the reports were true! :eek:

I have just one question for you - if the truth is at odds with the narrative you support, would you be willing to change that narrative?

Of course, when statistics agree with your narrative they’re infallible. When they disagree with your narrative they’re wrong. Hypocrite. :rolleyes:

Ahh yes, the criteria from before I was born must certainly ​still be the criteria used today. Care to provide an actual up to date source?

Pretty good for “impoverished” African nations. Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3330044/ The most interesting part about this article is its acknowledgement that: So even without these expensive tests, Ugandan and Kenyan doctors were apparently accurate 77% of the time...

Way to miss the point.. Apart from the fact we were a privately funded charity, that’s beside the point, it seems. Because we all know that the fallacious argument from incredulity is a valid argument, right?

We seem to think that because X is true in our part of the world, it must be true across the whole world. I just had a look at this post, and found this quote most telling: This just isn’t true. During my time as an administrator at a Christian-run hospice and medical clinic, one of my tasks...

This is the problem with so many Americans, but it can be said to be a wider problem for all of us in the west - we take what is true in our own society and extrapolate that to the whole world. I’ve told you repeatedly about my first-hand experience with HIV and AIDS patients in East Africa, but...

Have you got a tin foil hat I can borrow?

I’ve called you out for your sinful behaviour a number of times but you never listen. What makes you think others are more receptive to being called out for their sins than you? :rolleyes:

Maybe they realised the folly of conversion therapy, where the results are rarely positive? In the past I have dealt with professionals and non-professionals alike. They all seem to have many answers, none of which seemed to work. I went through counselling and discussed what they believed...

The True Freedom Trust certainly used to participate in attempts at conversion, though looking at their website it seems they have changed quite a lot since I was involved with them. Just two points to clarify: 1. The exorcism I went through had nothing to do with the True Freedom Trust, but a...

Savage is an extremist, though others such as Obama might not see him in such terms. I fail to see what knowing any of this information could possibly help you with. I was referred by a pastor who had already performed an “exorcism” on me back in 2001/2002 to the True Freedom Trust here in the...

One can find the worst excesses of any particular movement and turn that into an argument about why said movement should be banned. Or one could be intellectually honest and realise that the extremist outliers are not representative of that movement as a whole.
