You call yourself a Christian, don't you?
The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a Christian organization.
Do they have the SAME belief as YOU?
First of all, we call the religion of the 9/11 terrorist "Jihadist" for a reason, it's because
they hold convictions that are different from what Muslims believe.
In fact, most Muslims find them both repulsive and blaspheme.
Everyday Muslims use the following terms for extremists:
Kharijites (Khawarij) — "The Outcasts"
It is a severe theological judgment meaning: "You have departed from the true path of Islam and are repeating an ancient, corrupted error."
Ghuluw — "Extremism/Exaggeration"
The Prophet Muhammad explicitly warned his followers against ghuluw (religious extremism or overstepping the bounds). In Islamic jurisprudence, practicing ghuluw is considered a major sin because it distorts God’s message
Fasad fil-Ard — "Corruption on the Earth"
The Quran heavily condemns creating fasad (moral corruption, chaos, or ruin) on Earth. Mainstream Muslims view terrorist acts—such as bombings, destruction of property, and killing innocents—not as holy war, but as fasad. Under Islamic law, committing fasad is an egregious crime against society and God.
Do you hear Christians using terms from the Bible to condemn extremists?
If there aren't even Christian terms for that, that makes you MORE the same.
Phart is literally justifying everything that the Christian nationalist are doing.
These people are pushing their religion onto everyone; pushing THEOCRACY.
In fact, it's the closest real thing to the fear of SHARIA getting pushed on you.
It's going on right now, 24/7, while you are focusing on the Muslim scare.
What is Sharia?
- Religious law over above secular law
- Fusion of religion and state
- Women having no rights other than serving men
- Getting banned if your religion doesn't agree with theirs
- Women being forced to cover themselves up
- Complete sexual repression
- Violence towards LGTBQ
- Horrible punishment for crimes
- Censorship of culture and education
- Claims that the nation has a special divine mission (God's plan)
- Preference for strong leaders who claim to defend religious values
- Prioritizing religious community norms above personal freedom
This is EXACTLY what is pushed by Trump's cronies now. ALL OF IT!
Pete Hegseth is openly pushing Sharia-like ideas and a HOLY WAR.
I don't see you denouncing that or calling it blasphemy.
You must have the same belief!
Has Zohran Mamdami said or done anything to make you think that he is letting
extremist Jihadist or even standard Muslim ideology guide his actions?
Damn, these propagandists play you like a fiddle. Take back your brain!
it is a video of a dumbass cop trying to say the lady was holding her cell phone in her right hand. And she doesn't have 1.
at the last minute he trys to get the ticket tossed out that HE wrote. I would hope he had to stand before a judge under oath and explain himself.
Can’t have an ego as a cop. It gets in the way of your job performance, and it can get you into trouble.
I didn't click on your link, I just imagined a guy steering with his dick.
I don't care much about anecdotes of stupid people doing stupid shit.
It's the whole world right now. Why would I care about one more?
I didn't expect a video from you showing a cop being an asshole
and refusing to admit a mistake. That's a pattern, not an anecdote.
There are countless stories and videos of that.
Better think about how and why this is happening.
The chance that he has to stand before a judge under oath and explain himself
is very slim. That's the system that your side of politics has created.
What do you expect if you take accountability away from people with power?
The solution isn't even to make them fear accountability again or more,
it is to teach them again what their purpose is; "To serve and protect" the public.

Was Soros responsible?
Most economists and historians would say:
- No, he did not single-handedly cause the collapse.
- The pound was already under severe pressure because of underlying economic conditions and government policy mistakes.
- Soros became the symbolic face of the event because his bet was so large and successful.
The government that was primarily responsible for weakening the the pound was the one under Prime Minister John Major, along with earlier decisions made under Margaret Thatcher, both from the Conservative Party.
$1 billion is peanuts. Several investors made enormous fortunes betting against the U.S. housing market, before the 2008 crash.
- John Paulson probably made the most money personally. His hedge fund reportedly earned around $15–20 billion in 2007 alone by shorting subprime mortgage securities. Paulson himself reportedly earned roughly $4 billion that year, one of the largest payouts in hedge-fund history.
- Michael Burry, famous from The Big Short, identified weaknesses in subprime mortgages early and used credit default swaps to bet against mortgage bonds. His fund made about 700% for investors.
John Paulson and Michael Burry did not cause the housing bubble or the subprime lending explosion. They saw it being fueled by greedy bankers, reckless lending, and investors chasing profits, while the George W. Bush administration ignored mounting warnings.
They bet against the system holding together and made fortunes when politicians and financial institutions failed to stop the collapse, much like George Soros profited from Britain’s flawed currency policy in 1992.
These people are investors, not politicians. They are leeches on the system,
but they are not making the decisions and then profiting from them personally,
like Trump and his cronies have been doing.

How about making laws that cut money out of politics?
Let the actual voter decide what kind of bills they want?
As long as your politicians block that, don't cry when one or a few billionaires
use their money and influence for things you do not like.
The two bills being discussed are:
"Fair and Timely Parole bill"
This would change parole review standards so the parole board gives more weight to a person’s rehabilitation/current risk, rather than focusing heavily on the original crime. Critics say it could make release easier for serious offenders; supporters say it makes parole decisions fairer and based on current public-safety risk.
"Elder Parole bill"
This would allow many incarcerated people above a certain age (commonly framed as 55+) who have served a minimum number of years to become eligible for a parole hearing. It does not automatically free people; it creates eligibility for review. Supporters argue older prisoners have lower recidivism and this addresses lengthy incarceration; opponents argue it could apply to violent offenders.
Calling it "woke" is designed to make people stop thinking.
If they want to push a billionaire donor, they would call it "common sense".
It's all to stop you from thinking and just copy/paste their propaganda.
I fact checked and thought about every link that I posted.
When my headline contains words like "Insider Trading", that's because it literally
and legally is. Why do you think that Trump is pushing laws that make him and his family immune to prosecution for ever?

do you want a murderer next door?
Your ideas created prisons in your country that turn anyone into a hardened criminal, even if they are there for a short time. You think that it is punishment or a deterrent
to have prisons feel like hell, but ALL the facts prove you wrong; you have one of
the highest incarceration rate in the world, only beaten by El Salvador, Cuba and Turkmenistan. You also have one of the worst recidivism rates.
You are literally supporting a system that does what you accuse me of; accepting potential murderers in your neighborhood, by giving everyone who broke the law and has to go to prison, an environment that traumatizes them, turns them into a hardened motherfucker from the struggle to survive, and fills them with resentment towards society for being treated like an animal instead of a human being.
Another way in which you promote living among countless potential murderers, is supporting a type of politics that is inciting people 24/7 with resentment, hate and fear. Then you support the unrestricted freedom to own guns, by voting for politicians who fight against taking away the guns from people with mental health issues, wife beaters and people who hurt their pets. That results in your ridiculously high murder rates.
I feel safe in my country. It's not just a feeling, I am truly significantly safer, everywhere I go, than you are. That is the result of the hard work of the people and politicians
who rebuilt my country after WWII on democratic socialist and liberal values.

Democrats and progressive groups have been aggressively holding town halls in districts where Republicans stopped holding in-person events. In Colorado, for example, Democrats reportedly held 11 in-person town halls in the first months of 2025 while Republicans shifted toward tele-town halls.

It doesn't look like voters agree with you. Democrats have won special elections and are over-performing and winning in red areas like Arizona and Texas, while Republicans are only winning safe districts. You are losing ground, while there are progressive Democratic candidates surging in polls. There is a whole list of progressives, with huge following and surging in polls or having a good chance to even beat Republicans in red areas: Adelita Grijalva, Analilia Mejia, Cori Bush, Donavan McKinney, Graham Platner, James Talarico, Justin J. Pearson, Mai Vang, Nida Allam, Summer Lee and even a fucking billionaire who is winning on a progressive agenda; Tom Steyer. They are winning over lots of Republicans and former Trump voters. Find me anyone on your side who people are actually excited about and who is winning over the other side.
A muslim socialist major, Zohran Mamdani, is climbing steadily in his approval ratings while Trump keeps dropping
Progressives have large grassroots followings, while Republicans have support from billionaire donors and corrupt dark money. Besides Trump, there are hardly any Republicans who get working class people actually excited. People are not even showing up for Trump himself anymore. He's falling apart, on borrowed time, you all know it, and you have no one to replace him. You have Little Marco as the main candidate now.
You know that, which is why you need to project your side's failings on the Democrats.
My guess is, no, you do not have a job. You’re one of those Euro-trash welfare leeches who maintains a sense of undeserved self-righteous smugness because of all the state-funded leisure time you receive which you believe belongs to you merely because you exist.
You have more time than sense, and most certainly, no purpose in life.
I didn't start the politics talk here, people were already doing it long before I got here looking for people talking about sex. The number of conservatives on this website surprised me. Openly and politically, you guys profess sexual repression and you spit
on the gays and the trans, but privately you're "on a site that features photographs of people with strings tied around their balls".
In the Netherlands we work to live, in the USA you live to work. That's why I have spare time to follow what is happening in the world and take the debate to the likes of you.
If you need to believe that I don't have a job, to be happy, believe whatever you want about me, because that's harmless. However, if you want to believe that Europe sucks because we are all on welfare, then you're not just wrong, but you're actively believing propaganda paid for by the oligarchs to exploit the working class, making your country worse. My state indeed funds the needs of the people more. Your state gives all your tax-dollars to people who already have billions. What do you get back for it? Your country is deep in dept, your people are poor and they are working like slaves. Why do you think that is something to be proud of?
My purpose is making the world better, by trying to convince people to stop destroying it. You are cucked by the oligarchs who care about short term profit so much, that they accept that they are destroying the world. Their greed is incurable.
Being a Renfield to the Draculas who are bleeding us dry is definitely a purpose in life, but unlike you, I can look myself in the mirror. What are you telling yourself, to make yourself believe that you are fulfilling your responsibility as a member of humanity?
Our average quality of life is much higher than yours.
You are now at the level of one of our poorest countries, on healthcare access, vacation time, public transit, maternal mortality, violent crime/homicide, life expectancy, work-life balance, job security, childcare affordability, education affordability. What is true is that you have bigger cars and bigger houses, on average. That's because one of the only things that your government subsidizes is cheap fuel for your cars. That's why gas-guzzling trucks are affordable in your country. Many Americans also have bigger houses. That's because the US overall is 20 times less populated than my country. My country is mostly one big city. Don't forget that Americans in cities like New York City or San Francisco, live in apartments that can be extremely small and very expensive too.
Also, many Americans live above their means; they are more likely to have larger living spaces, cars, air conditioning, more consumer goods, but even if they have a higher gross income, they are also more likely to have medical debt, unstable housing, little savings, high commuting costs, weak social protections, expensive childcare/education and bankruptcy risk. Credit card debt is common in the US,
in my country it's much less common.
We have different values; Dutch people value 'living', Americans value 'having'.
I don't know what you're on about with the law about your yard. Does that ever happen or is it something you have a phobia about? Most of us have a public front yard and a private back yard. It's very much uncommon that someone comes into the private back yard uninvited. If you don't like people coming up to your public front yard to sell you stuff or proselytize, then you put a sticker on your door that you don't like that, which is respected fully. We don't need laws for things that are not a problem.
My girlfriend wanted one of those stickers, and I allowed it. I think it's a bit of a shame, because I actually enjoyed engaging in a discussion with a Jehovah's Witness.
in other words,property owners have no real right to privacy on their own land.
The Freedom to Roam (Everyman's Right)Several Northern and Central European countries grant the general public the legal right to access, walk, and even camp on private, uncultivated land.Nordic Countries: In countries like Sweden, Norway, and Finland, you can freely hike and forage on private lands as long as you respect the privacy of homeowners (maintaining a safe distance from dwellings) and leave no trace.Scotland: Under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, the public has statutory access rights to most land and inland water for recreational, educational, and some commercial purposes.Other Countries: Similar, albeit slightly modified, access laws exist in Austria, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic
Camp, forage? On private land? as in I wake up 1 morning and find some idiots camped out in my backyard? that I pay taxes on?? eh Nope.
You don't have comfortable homes and cars because your government over regulates everything keeping you in squaller and has successfully made you think it is great to ride around in a car that would get smooshed by a simple truck hauling cattle. Or living in a house the size of a friggen phone booth. or free health care meaning you get plenty of dope to make you FEEL good. Our system is flawed but at least if you work and try, you have a fair chance at a good living.
Our homes are very comfortable. They are generally built from higher quality materials and with higher quality norms. They are built to last, while American homes are built to be cheap.
In a crash, you have a higher chance of surviving in an European or Japanese car, than an American car. Your cars are heavy, but they are poorly designed for safety.
We DON'T have free healthcare, we have health INSURANCE. It's just better and cheaper, because it's regulated better. Your health insurance is just a scam, designed for profit.
"if you work and try, you have a fair chance at a good living"
There is a ratings for that, which is called the Social Mobility Index.
It measures how much people can improve their economic position through work, education, and opportunity.
The US is ranked #28, after Lithuania, the Netherlands #6.

I've traveled all over Europe, including Denmark. The other Nordic countries are indeed still on my to-do-list.
Maybe your side of politics is preoccupied with laws about being allowed to walk onto property, but it's not an issue for me. If I am moving around and see a sign 'private property' or something, I just turn around. I have no desire for a law that keeps people of my property, because I never had a problem with people on my property. Why would you be?
Or is this just your fantasy of shooting people speaking, that makes you wanting for a law that allows it, if someone makes the mistake on walking onto your property?
Your country is subsidizing no one and nothing, without a selfish reason for profit or control. Your bloated military budget is NOT intended to protect me, but purely for your own interests of dominating the world. If the Nazis hadn't threatened your power, the US would have never stopped them from taking over all of Europe. Your leaders just understood that there was no limit to the ambition of the Nazi, perceived them as a competing for world domination and only then chose to stop them, before they were too powerful and came for your ass. The only difference between your selfishness then and your selfishness now is that it's now completely short-sighted, because absolute idiots took control. Classic Republicans and even Democrats are just as selfish, but they have a longer term strategy, because they can think ahead more. They understand that having allies and trading partners only strengthens their own self-interests.
"The United States sends an estimated $15 to $50 billion annually to Europe, depending largely on fluctuating supplemental defense and humanitarian packages. The vast majority of this capital is driven by security assistance and reconstruction efforts in Eastern Europe."
"Trade: While not "sent" as government funds, US commercial transactions are the largest monetary flow. The US and Europe trade over ($1) trillion in goods and services annually, creating massive capital movement through foreign direct investment and market revenues. You can explore official bilateral trade summaries provided by the Office of the United States Trade Representative""
So where else would you folks get those funds if we didn't do a trillion dollars in trade with europe? sounds like you depend on the US quite a bit?
That statement is mostly misleading unless it specifically means U.S. aid related to Ukraine/Eastern Europe.
U.S. foreign assistance to European countries (including Ukraine) has varied a lot, especially since Russia’s 2022 invasion. Ukraine became by far the largest European recipient. In FY2023 alone, Ukraine got about $16.6B in U.S. aid disbursements.
In some years, if you include Ukraine-related military/economic/humanitarian appropriations, total U.S. spending connected to Europe can rise much higher. For example, Ukraine-related appropriations were tens of billions, but not all of that money was physically “sent to Europe” — much was spent in the U.S. on weapons production, replenishing stockpiles, logistics, etc.
No major new Ukraine aid legislation was approved after Trump returned in Jan. 2025, according to CFR’s tracking of U.S. appropriations. Much of what continued was aid already authorized earlier.
Why is trade only making the EU depend on the US? There is a whole lot of goods and services coming from the EU, that you depend on. If the EU stopped buying American products and services, you would not be able to refinance
your Gross debt of about 122–125% of GDP.
Trump has increased the deficit to about 6%. The EU has a rule enforcing all Euro countries to keep their deficit below 3%. The Euro area (eurozone) had
a deficit of 2.9% of GDP in 2025. None of that is because of the US, in fact,
the US made that more difficult.
You want to live in a fact free world. If Trump says inflation is 0%, you will believe it, even if you had to sell stuff to pay for groceries and gas.
The MAIN reason you smug indulged Euros have an alleged higher standard of living (if living in a gilded cage can be considered “higher,” that is), is because the United States has subsidized your indulgent lifestyle with FOREIGN AID for decades. WE paid for your soft living with our tax dollars! You are SPONSORED! The entire continent is on American-style welfare!
Without the U.S., and its money, you’d still be riding bicycles without tires on the rims, just like you did when you let the German boot come down on your collective throat a few decades ago.
You’d sell out your neighbors just for a little comfort! You’ve done it before and you’ll do it again, if it came to that! You’d roll over and expose your bellies at the drop of a hat! You have no moral standing to be as smug as you present yourself, and yet, here you are, doing just that!
I also love that your precious EU is now showing some signs of panic as U.S. military personnel are now being withdrawn from western Europa and headed for Poland! At least the Poles still appreciate what the U.S. is capable of doing.
At no point in time after WWII was the military force of Russia stronger, larger
or better funded than the combined military force of Europe.
Around 2000, the EU states collectively had several times Russia’s defense spending, overwhelmingly superior naval and air power in aggregate. They would have had no chance against us, if they had attacked. Even at the minimum, around 2004, we still spent €110–130 billion per year, while Russia was spending $19–21 billion. That's because the combined GDP of the EU was about ~20 times larger than Russia’s in 2004. They are a huge empty country with a loud mouth, and citizens who are indoctrinated or forced to get blown up for their dictator.
Even Ukraine is now killing them in a 5 to 1 ratio, with NO HELP FROM YOU.
The above post is so wrong on so many levels. Entitlement? We are the entitled ones. One thing that comes across to me is that everyone places so much importance on frontiers. Europe, like the U.S., is one big entity and the people are pretty much basic on their mores and views. They are no more spoiled than we are.
And, for you, Phart. Europe fights terrorism as much as other societies. Just remember that there are big buffers, the oceans, that keep much of the unwelcomed out. They don’t have that protection. Their national security forces are top notch and dedicated.
Europe has been a cyst on Americas ass since the beginning. It took a horrible war back in the 1770's just to break free of the control freaks.
Any how,if we don't learn from the past, and pass it along, future generations will repeat it, more anguish,
Besides, Your side goes back to the 1860's just about every day griping about slavery and so forth, Why can't YOUR side just think of the last 80 years?????
You bring up alot of reasons why it justifyed for you to go back that far, so why can't you understand why I go back a bit further?
Besides, had we not been independent of england in the 1860's the civil war would never have happened and you could probably pick up the phone book and dig thru the yellow pages and find a local dealer for a few young men to work your fields because Slavery was started in Europe. it all ties together in a very tangled web
And your political side would worship him and erect golden statues of him.
Working hard is for stupid people, we work smart. Western Europe has a high living standard because of EFFICIENCY, resulting in a high productivity. We invested our own damn money in the advancement and infrastructure that we have.
The US doesn't give a cent to Europe or European countries. After WWII you sent us Marshall aid, of about $ 13 billion, but that stopped 70 years ago and we paid back 100% of the loan. In 1971, the Netherlands even made an early repayment on the remaining Marshall Plan debts, to support the US dollar during a currency crisis. You are confused by 75 years.
Your contributions to NATO are purely self-serving and intended for world domination. You have military basis in around 80 countries, not to protect them, but to make sure that those countries do your bidding. You start the wars on the other side of the world and then we come to help clean up your mess. Then the first time we face violence directly on our border, from your former worst enemy, which was our enemy too because we picked your side, you are nowhere to be found.
Poland is obviously nervous with Russia at its border. They were a very much a pro-American country, but enthusiasm toward the United States has cooled recently, and opinions are now more mixed than they used to be.

Calling me 'smug' is projection of the highest order, damn ignorant yankee.
You have no idea what is happening in your own damn(ed) country, let alone what is going on outside your borders.

Why do you think it's one or the other?
People can communicate opinions in a funny way.
Whether it is his opinion or just jokes, the result is the same.
Some of his jokes contain actual philosophical arguments, refuting religion.
Which doesn't take a lot, because the philosophical arguments that support religion
have been destroyed a million times over.
There are only 2 arguments for religion that actually make any sense:
- Some people are unable to be decent people, without the threat of hell.
- It's possible that a consciousness started the universe.
If the existing religions were actually any good, those would be decent arguments
to join one. The problem is that they all expect people to believe nonsense.
