Dude, I was attributing the full WWII death toll to Hitler. 60-65 million is a widely accepted WWII death toll. You must have thought I was referring to just the Russian WWII death toll. Hitler was solely responsible for starting WWII and I attribute that entire body count to him. That’s what I was saying.

Good post. I’ve had some conversations surrounding this: if Hitler had focused all resources on the war effort and postponed the attempted extermination of the Jews, Germany likely would have taken and held all of Europe including the UK and part of Russia. Luckily for Europe, he didn’t have the foresight, self-control or humility to do that.

I’m certainly no defender of Stalin, but you’re incorrect. Hitler was not only responsible for the jewish holocaust, but also directly responsible for instigating WWII which led to at least 60,00,000 deaths with some people claiming as many as 75,000,000. The holocaust stands out among other genocides in history for the systematic and industrial manner in which it was carried out, among other reasons. What I find interesting is discussions about the Treaty of Versailles and the role it played creating the conditions for someone like Hitler to thrive and rise to power.

Ok, I’m at the grocery store. I don’t see you anywhere. Where are you? Should I go back home?

Can someone catch me up on 69 pages worth— is the economy bad?

Just for fun, we tallied the blown assists in the paint tonight. If her teammates converted the bunnies, she’d have totaled 15 tonight. And she took a physical beating tonight, too.

I’ll be 3rd row Sunday.

Look, America is lost. It’s over. Financially, this country is over a barrel. The only solution for America to have a brighter future is to cut federal spending and reduce government. Since absolutely no one wants to cut spending, there is no hope. It’s already over.

Do you think we retain our memories from life once we enter Heaven?

Then you’re probably not friends with any females, since that’s genetic for them.

Can size?

Nah, I can’t agree with this. No disrespect. It’s just that there are myriad ways for people to die and cancer is just one of them. If cancer is proof God hates us, then so are all other causes of death. And that doesn’t even touch on non-lethal suffering. Of course, this might lead to a grander conversation regarding the human condition. Life is suffering. Death is certain. Our purpose is enigmatic. The human condition.

Yes, I already know that. My question is “Why?” Are you willing to explain why? You might be saying it’s a choice you’ve made. Is that what you’re saying? If so, that’s fine. Just seeing if I understand.

I have asked you at least twice in the past “Why do you believe what the Bible says?” and I asked it genuinely and without malice or snarkiness. I really do want to know. You didn’t answer before. I can imagine what your answer is, but I’d prefer to see it from you.

Man, I sense you and I could have some good conversations. People 2,000+ years ago didn’t need an old book, either. Why? Because, according to that old book, God was gracious enough to SHOW them. But today? No such grace for the people of today. Why not? In the book of Matthew Jesus even says ‘you’re only guilty of sin because I came and showed you…if I hadn’t, you wouldn’t be guilty of sin.’ I think an omnipotent Creator would obviously know that his rational, free-will creations wouldn’t be able to believe without something to base it on. He’d know that. So why does 2024 only get a book?

I have to disagree with this. I expect her to win the election and I am very annoyed that she’s deliberately avoiding speaking on her own behalf and being asked questions. It should be a minimum expectation that she be confronted on record, issues and policy intentions. The “campaign” she’s running is deceitful. She’s practically invisible.

Neither would be thrown out of bed. Well, when I was finished…

I prefer freestyle. Love wrestling. Not sure how you grew up around all that wrestling and never heard of folkstyle.

My group will be at El Bait Shop nightly. I won’t be with them, but they will do it every night.

I’ll be in Des Moines mid-September if you want to get a beer and some honey-garlic pizza at Fong’s.

Haven’t been in 7 years, but it was tradition when the kids were young. They loved seeing the cattle, horses, hogs and sheep.

Watch that Netflix doc and you’ll see it’s basically just corporate greed destroying itself.
