Things Heard: e306v1

G’day.

1. Missing the point, badly. Not a few prophets were willing to tell “the Jews” they were going the wrong way (hint: Jesus was yet another Jew). Odd that. Mr Schraub (a Jew) isn’t afraid to tell Christians when he thinks they were wrong. Perhaps he thinks turnabout is not fair play. It might be observed however, the point in question (that Jesus criticized fellow Jews might be better served to point that we should not fail to criticize other Christians when they stray … hmmm to what might that be applied?).
2.  Markets everywhere, and everywhere markets appear the state tries to rear its ugly head, apparently.
3. Liberal elite and their cargo cultic magic, noted.
4. Our mainstream media acting cliquish and stupid. Idiots abound.
5. “Cheese, Grommit!” says Wallace.
6. Biden, “I’m not rich” (just really dumb). No investments at all. Dependent forever on the kindness of, well, the public till.
7. For the past 25 years, in a continuous trend, gun violence has been trending downward (while gun ownership has risen). However, facts and trends don’t matter to the real gun nuts. Guns and firearms give you the heeby-jeebies isn’t an argument for the curtailment of other peoples liberties. More people die on motor cycles than by gunshot, should those be banned?
8. Apparently Roman Catholics don’t exchange a kiss of peace during their services.
9. Forgetting the Civil War. Woops.
10. Yeah. And Swiss cheese can’t be from Wisconsin. Oh, wait.
11. Failing to give consent during a drunken encounter … compared to what the rest of the world calls rape.
12. Speaking of rape, this has been making the rounds.
13. And this too is not unrelated. That brings the old colonial British anecdote to mind, in which a British fellow was ordering the arrest of the people who had burned a widow on the death of her husband. He was informed this was an ancient custom of their people. He replied that it was an ancient custom of his people to hang people who burn women.
