The doctors couldn't believe how much Coronavirus he didn't have. They don't think anyone has ever tested as 'not infected' as Trump. It's amazing really, just how good he is at not having the virus. Obama was never as completely clear of Coronavirus as Trump and Coronavirus hadn't even been invented yet. I'm imagining that some PR staffer simply mentioned once that he should avoid using the word negative too much in association with himself (like how some salesmen and call centre workers aren't allowed to say no) and he's just taken that idea on his own special journey. Like, if not saying negative too much is good, then actually saying positive a lot must be even better, right?

Until the third vodka hits, then it's all about how many naked people can you fit into one sauna. Or plunge pool. Or.. well anywhere really, just as long as the naked thing is happening.

It doesn't work like that. It's not like all of the viruses mutate at once into something benign then go 'oh shit, that was a mistake'. Strains of the virus that don't make anyone sick are likely to be heavily outcompeted by the ones that do. So while the benign mutations would go away, the nasty ones will still be here.

I don't think you know what 'underground' means.

Different subject, but yeah. No great surprise that a President who runs his administration like his family business has appointed numerous department heads who think their staff work for their benefit, not the country's.

More or less. A lot of this stuff doesn't work the way people think it does - for instance did you know that a race was first defined as people who spoe the same language, therefore the first recorded racism was English people hating the French? In any event, he was right, you used an ethnic slur. Sure, but it's just your bigotry that makes it seem that way to you. Those you see as 'stomping' on Christianity - are they demanding outrage every time they see a church like you do with Mosques? Nope. In the other thread you just posted a list of ways that an enemy behaves. Why are you using it as an instruction manual? You've just hit points 12, 13 and 14 all in one sentence. Seriously, why can't you give a straight answer? Are you that embarrassed?

Yes, you are making it quite clear that fact and reality is inconvenient to your worldview. Again, you don't see it because you dont know what ethnicity is. An ethnic group does not have to be based on shared ancestry, genetics, place of birth or nationality. Like I said, I tried to stop you before you dug too deep but you're just too damn stubborn. Now for real, time for you to man up and explain why you lied about all the churches in Edinburgh.

I was going to say I'll do you a favour before you dig yourself in too deep, but I see you were too eager to make yourself look silly again. So here it is anyway - you don't know what ethnicity means. Whether that in turn means you have a weak mind, I'll leave to you to decide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_group Depending on which source of group identity is emphasized to define membership, the following types of (often mutually overlapping) groups can be identified: Ethno-linguistic, emphasizing shared language, dialect (and possibly script) – example: French Canadians Ethno-national, emphasizing a shared polity or sense of national identity – example: Austrians Ethno-racial, emphasizing shared physical appearance based on genetic origins – example: African Americans Ethno-regional, emphasizing a distinct local sense of belonging stemming from relative geographic isolation – example: South Islanders of New Zealand Ethno-religious, emphasizing shared affiliation with a particular religion, denomination or sect – example: Jews

Hey dude - just a reminder that I answered your question completely at the first time of asking - when are you going to answer the question why you told such an absurd lie about personally seeing all the churches in Edinburgh converted into mosques when you only saw one?

Oh yeah. Lance's early career pre-cancer did overlap with the most rampant EPO era before there was any effective test for it. By the time of his major success they'd moved to microdosing into muscle fibre instead. The year of his cancer the Tour winner was Jan Ullrich, known in some circles as 'Mr 60%' after his hematocrit level - 60% of his blood was red blood cells, compared to between 40% to 50% maximum for a non doped athlete. The story is that combined with an ultra low resting heart rate, when he was 'fully prepped' in race season he needed a soigneur to wake him every hour or so during the night to mitigate the risk of his blood spontaneously clotting in his veins in between heartbeats.

And the people with tinfoil hats think 5G is giving us Covid.

So, because a Turkish populist said it, it must be true? Would you believe any quote about Christianity I could find? So to sum up, we should be outraged that there is even one mosque in Edinburgh because all muslims are part of a hostile invading army because the Turkish PM said so? That's your official position? OK, that's the follow up dealt with - still leaves the main question though - why did you lie about having seen every church in Edinburgh turned into a Mosque? What possessed you to say something so blatantly ludicrous?

That's the plan for Americans returning from overseas. Are they not talking about the plan for everything else?

No, but you will see it in other Christian countries.

So you are a bit touched? And far as I can tell there is one Mosque in the vicinity of the Royal Mile that looks like it is housed in what was once a church, and there are at least 8 active churches including the utterly unmissable humungous Cathedral slap bang in the middle of it. So again, what was your basis for claiming that you had personally seen that there were no churches left in Edinburgh? And follow up now, so there's one mosque that used to be a church - why did you demand that there be outrage at that? If there weren't enough people who wanted to go to church to keep it open in a competitive market, but there were enough people who wanted a mosque to take over the site... what's your problem with that?

Your question is founded on a faulty premise. If you care to search for it you might be able to find a thread on that very topic when it happened, and you'll see my opinion that a) it's not ok and b) being able to subject anyone's rights, religious or otherwise, to a simple public majority vote is not ok. I'm also not from Switzerland and I don't live there. Now your turn, how about you answer my question with an answer? What was the deal with you and Edinburgh?

Cool. They don't want to give it to you.

But to not pursue him you would need the new administration to not only order the Federal AG to leave him alone but they'd need to exert considerable political influence and possibly favor-trading to make the State AGs leave him alone. So... political meddling in the justice system to stop the appearance of political meddling in the justice system? Yeah, sounds like a great idea. Plus I still absolutely believe that it is of the utmost importance that political figures know that they are subject to the same laws as everyone else. This only gets more important the higher you go.

Did you have banana pancakes in a mosque in Edinburgh? Can you explain why you said what you said about mosques in Edinburgh?

And you only have to go back on a timescale measured in the decades to find a point where the entirety of the west was the same. We changed (kinda) in a minute amount of time. If you think there's something specific to the Arab world that means they are incapable of similar change it's not just racism but plain denial of reality. Who was responsible for the two biggest conflicts in human history, them or us? Who has brought more death or destruction upon the other in the last hundred years, them or us? It's not even close. And seriously - where are your pictures of all the mosques and the lack of churches in Edinburgh? I want to see what you said we should all be outraged at.

Europeans started calling them Arabic numerals. The Arabs at the time called them Hindu numerals.

You did say that. The question was whether schools in America should teach Arabic numerals. You said "I take it you mean these...no thanks." and posted a picture of both Eastern and Western Arabic numerals. Therefore, while you may not have meant to, you absolutely did say that schools in America shouldn't teach normal numbers. You also definitely said that there were no churches left in Edinburgh, only mosques. What was up with that?

You did say that. if you didn't mean to, you shoud have been more precise. Oh by the way, where are all your holiday photos of the Edinburgh mosques?

That's a nice link that proves both of the numeral systems in the image you posted are Arabic numerals. Why don't you want either of them to be taught?

No he wasn't. That is, again, a misleading claim.
