Apparently Trump wants us to win at torture, too. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/pos ... it-anyway/

Hmm. While terrorism is a problem that deeds to be addressed, and not in the way your idiots say, terrorist deaths in the US are a small small fraction of all the violent deaths in the US each year. I notice people have brought this up again and again and you and others pretend this fact doesn't exist. :wink:


Markk has already addressed this.

Then by your spin we should outlaw alcohol? The USA has about 4 death from alcohol per 1000, where many countries have basically zero, or less than 1% per thousand. Should I use Niger or Pakistan as you do England and Australia as a example in deaths and laws in other countries?


For me the bigger tragedy than death is to be left to live defenseless against thieves and tyrants.


No he never addressed it as you have not. You continue to ignore the numbers and you will continue to. :wink:

It becomes ever more obvious that Trump is far less concerned about what the truth actually is than he is about what his target audience is willing and eager to believe.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Who is that human-like entity called Donald Trump?

Your next president? Congratulations...

Absolutely. It's not a presidential campaign, it's a targeted demographic marketing campaign.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
