FWIW, I've never been a Murka-only isolationist. I happily support the destruction of Hamas and Boko Haram, because I realize that there is evil in the world, and that the world is a better place without that evil.

I know to you that such centrist sources should be sufficient, but I'm more discerning. Enough of your red herring. Tell me how you disagree with my summary.

I have indeed used AI before. It's a useful tool. It provides the links from which it sourced its answer. In this case the links included Al Jazeera, PBS, and CNN, all with some version of "it's nuanced!" If instead the links are from a variety of sources, or if the summary isn't particularly politically biased, it's easier to just use it. HTH with your whataboutism.

He said senseless killing. Perhaps you meant Hamas, which hides under schools, churches, and hospitals when they aren't raping and burning innocent women and children. But... IDF killed a journalist who might not have been working with Hamas. And blew up an ambulance. It's the same! Moral equivalency!

I learned from AI which learned from Al Jazeera that while Boko Haram often targets Christians for mass genocide, they also occasionally kill Muslims too, so it is complex and nuanced! and the affects both, so it is the same! also Trumpf!

Gutter only has one religion, and it's TDS.

We mostly do my (Polish) family traditions. For Christmas Eve my grandma made a bunch of fish, although I don't recall it having the "seven fishes" name. Some whitefish, some disgusting things like pickled herring. After she passed the family kept the tradition, except somebody one year said "you know, lobster is fish!" We're actually having that tonight instead of yesterday (mentioned in another thread that we celebrated Christmas yesterday). We did our typical Christmas day late lunch yesterday for dinner: honey baked ham, fresh kielbasa, homemade pierogi with sauteed onions, homemade paska bread (or challa, it's an egg bread), green bean casserole. From my wife's family side we add "Grammy's mustard sauce" which has mustard, sugar, egg yolks... good stuff. My wife made farmer's cheese for the pierogi, and my daughters helped make them and cook them. I don't want to jinx them for the future, but they've nailed the technique: not a one came apart in boiling, and they tasted delicious!

Man, this is hilarious! Happy belated Hannukah, Tim.

We celebrated Christmas yesterday because my son is going to his GF's family today, and they live in the sticks (cactus?) north of Phoenix metro. Wife and two daughters are heading to the 10:30 Mass, then going bowling for lunch. Hopefully the rain will be done and we can break out my new cornhole set (my big Christmas gift). Merry Christmas, fellow l5s3rs!

Has nothing to do with God per se. "Religion" is more than just belief in God; it comprises an overall culture. As I've said numerous times, I know and like many individual Muslims. But I can also recognize that the many Islamic cultures which treat women like animals and stone LGBTQ folks to death are morally inferior to Western Judeo-Christian cultures. Other major religions like Hindu and Buddhism don't have this problem. Islam is the only one. It must be nice going through life with that dullard smile, believing in moral relativism. One religious culture protests women who kill their unborn children, another stones women for getting raped. It's the same! Anyway, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all! Also, welcome back @Strike!

I don't think you are wrong, and I'm not saying Jim Beam did anything wrong. Sometimes the environment changes. In this case, Canada chose to stall imports due to American tariffs, which impacted JB sales. My point is that instead of focusing on how higher inventory should lead to lower prices for Americans, Gutter chooses to focus on how a Japanese conglomerate will lose money. Because he has TDS.

Thanks! I'd like to thank my dad, who paid the cable guy under the table in the 80s to let us descramble HBO on the box and watch movies... Seriously, this was a lot of fun. Thanks @BiffTannen for all your work in running such a smooth draft.

She's not Muslim, she is Hindu. You should have just said she is not Christian, which is really what you meant.

How could I forget? Those are the same! Sorry, still stupid. Even Moderate Tim is not supporting you. Although that being said: Thanks for the laugh.
