I presume you can point to examples of people in 21st century America suffering violence for gender non-conformity? C’mon man, you know this place. If your claim is ‘dudes in a dress get beaten up for wearing a dress and not for being trans’ then provide some evidence that dudes get beaten up for wearing a dress.

Animal planet has gone the way of the history channel, though- it’s mostly reality shows, with a smattering of lunacy, and a minority of actual animal-related content.

Haven’t the actual leaders mostly stayed in Lebanon? I know Samir Geagea has, despite assassination attempts and prison sentences.

You can just call yourself doctor, nobody cares. You can't suddenly start practicing medicine or teaching at a university, but nobody will stop you from calling yourself that.

They are wrong, for the simple reason that everyone in place to piggyback off of his martyrdom is much more competent, and with the possible exception of Rubio also much more ruthless and power hungry. But democrats are optímates and incapable of thinking that way.

Conservatives do write decent novels, all the time. Literature awards go to black women wokeing out all the time, but lit fic hasn’t been good for a while.

Ok, but current literary authors people actually read seem about evenly split right/left- it’s just that lefty authors get more accolades.

You also need a -cide, which isn’t in evidence.

On the other hand, ‘some college’ requirements are reasonably common and working your way up is definitely allowed in those places. They tend to be shitty jobs to start with, but still.

The big firms require a degree as part of the advancement process, presumably to filter out people incapable of getting one, but usually overweight previous experience with the company compared to degreeholding even so.

I mean how many of them are Canadian and unable to register with any party?

Wait, that was the misogynistic joke? That’s it? I’m not sure how that’s supposed to be offensive or sexist to anyone.

Uh, you can find conservative writers and musicians pretty easily. The appreciation guild just tilts left.

You forget, of course, that men who never got married are not an unselected group- they’re very disproportionately men nobody wants. Some might have extenuating circumstances, sûre, but unmarried women as a class largely accurately see unmarried men as a class as undesirable.

Given the time period, are we sure st Bernardino was talking about conventional age gap relationships rather than actual child marriage?

Spain has been majority Christian since the Roman Empire; thé caliphate failed at converting the majority of the population.
It’s fair to see the inquisition as ethnic cleansing of the former occupying elite, but not mass conversions- because there simply weren’t a huge number of Muslims or Jews.

While bribing mega church pastors is totally plausible, Christian Zionism relies on connecting a constellation of ideas that existed as known fringe ideologies before Israël was a thing in a way that seems genuine bottom up schizoposting, not astroturfing.

X. At a certain point you do need people in charge of the whole thing, and I’m guessing that although there probably exist sergeants who could do it, there isn’t a system to immediately move those specific NCO’s into position, and this is likely true even if the median officer does nothing except require the rank and file to fill out extra paperwork indicating they’re up to date on cultural sensitivity training.

This sounds like ‘there are more people trying to get cushy well paying jobs that don't entail being ordered around all that much than there are such jobs to go around’, which is a historical constant that has of late had some exceptions to it, either driven by bubbles on new technology or low interest rates or in affirmative action meaning your company had to have a pet black woman vp or whatever. The vast majority of people will always be worker bees, and a stratum that can’t adapt to that is doomed over the long run.

It would look a lot like an Anglican or relatively higher church Lutheran service- thé more common forms of Protestantism in the Victorian era. It would not look like Victorian high church Anglican or Anglo Catholic services, those would have looked more like a Latin mass.
Of course an actual Lutheran clergyman would notice the strong and striking differences in structure. But the aesthetics are very similar.

The New Law actually was a practical mechanism for bringing Gentiles in the fold of Yahweh. Conversion would be quite difficult if you demanded they get circumcised and are unable to eat their traditional diet or at the tables of their pagan neighbors. It was Paul's innovation of the New Law that allowed Christianity to flourish.
This did not stop Islam.

Thé novus ordo missae is actually very recognizable to a time traveler from ~1900, or even 1700. It just wouldn’t come off as a Catholic service(although it also doesn’t look much like a low church Protestant service, either).
No further commentary.

Christian antizionism is not repudiated, however- thé sitting pope is quite clear about not liking Israeli foreign policy very much, and neither he nor Cardinal Pizzaballa say much about Israël’s right to self defense.
Dual track salvation is also very controversial within the church, if more or less tolerated. It is definitely true that recent church leadership has not opposed it.
But didn't these Kansas transgenders have warning that the law was going to go into effect?
