@tanker_ian@pjdav1@smithpatrick08 You think maybe just maybe everyone was executing people back then? Henry and Elizabeth both have enormous execution numbers.
@DrewAdler17@Bnjmnharvey1@roddreher@AndrewTWalker I presume you mean the opposite. No fault divorce is a perfect example of the removal of a rational, humane restriction protecting the vulnerable...because of a secular, individualistic obsession with self. It destroys children's lives for the convience of parents.
@fieldatsunset@James7Holland@MishalHusain ...people who are neither privileged with the facts, nor a propensity for rational discussion, you'll have to look elsewhere. Good luck.
@fieldatsunset@James7Holland@MishalHusain I've been arguing that Russia is not an unprovoked aggressor, not that Russia should have invaded Ukraine. It's a proxy war between NATO and Russia. Ukraine is being destroyed in the middle of it. If you want an argument of "Russia started it! No, NATO started it!" with...
@fieldatsunset@James7Holland@MishalHusain Because Russia-Ukraine is a far more complex relationship than Russia-Finland. Because of the conflict of the last 12 years, and long before that. Great powers. Red lines. A whole host of other reasons which should be considered before "Russia bad" gets us into WW3.
@fieldatsunset@James7Holland@MishalHusain What does the relationship between Russia and Ukraine have to do with the war between Russia and Ukraine? I wonder. I can't claim to understand the whole situation, nor explain it in an X debate, but I can assure you it's not as simple as a NATO membership on/off switch.
@DrewAdler17@Bnjmnharvey1@roddreher@AndrewTWalker Don't know who you're referring to as "y'all".
It's easy enough to call laws "coercive religious practices" when you don't like them and natural laws when you do, but you'll find your countrymen don't agree where that line is.
@fieldatsunset@James7Holland@MishalHusain This is absurd. There are degrees of provocation between what unquestionably justifies a response and what doesn't justify a response at all. The Western narrative on Russia is equivalent to your example. I'm arguing there's more to it. As there'd be more to the US invading Cuba
@fieldatsunset@James7Holland@MishalHusain Assuming you mean "was provoked", I agree. If you argue Russia has a right to invade countries to stop them joining NATO, you're supporting the invasion. I don't remember saying that.
@fieldatsunset@James7Holland@MishalHusain Did you watch the video? This isn't a discussion about supporting Russia. He clearly doesn't support Russia's invasion. He's pushing back against Western claims that Russia is an unprovoked aggressor.
