        One of the best things I have learnt is that there is such a thing as MSM and that many people are brainwashed by it. I was deceived by the MSM as far as the pandemic was concerned and thought we were all going to suffer and die by the millions.
        Thank God I came to this forum and read and learnt many things.
        'lernt' kinda sums up where you are Esther. Actually, that is not something you 'learned', it is a lie you were fed by actual propaganda sources. The free press is not an individual, it is not a government organization - it is millions of people committed to the premise that for a democracy to function there must be a FREE press - a group of people dedicated to reporting facts and holding governments accountable to the truth. We can't survive without it. And you can't possibly be protected from the manipulation of those thirsty for power at any cost if you don't read it.

        Still, as a Christian it is impossible for me to in any way support the ungodly people and policies of the liberal left wing democrats.
        You may feel that the 'liberal left wing democrats' have policies you don't agree with. But you only know that because there is a FREE press. And that same FREE press that tells you clearly what sort of things the democrats believe and want to do also tells you truthfully what the republicans believe and want to do, and also tell you what sort of lies the government is supporting, or creating, or hiding behind - regardless of party or personality. Don't allow the lies of those that ACTUALLY want to take over governments by force keep you from reading ALL the different FREE press sources that are out there. If you do, you'll get a more or less balanced view of what is actually going on. Try to stay with those that have long histories of a commitment to fair and balanced reporting in the free word, but don't shy away from such sources if they lean a LITTLE left or a LITTLE right. And don't just read US sources.

        My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

        If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

        This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

          You should show more grace to those who helped the colonies obtain independence.

            You mean, their ancestors. Lots has happened since then.

                This latest barrage of 'denial' is really taking the cake so to speak.

                We really are living in an age where the facts just don't matter and people will believe anything they are told if it just supports what they already believe is true. We literally can seek out a confirmation bias bubble and just stay there for as long as we want and that bubble will manufacture 'facts' that will insultate is from reality if we just wait a day or two.

                It is actually very, very, very sad.

                  I remember a request of yours I not reply to you. And I thanked you for saying you would not reply to me any more - mostly since your replies consist of homilies on how evil oxmixmudd is.

                  But on considering honoring your request, I realized if I actually don't respond to your posts at all, you are free to parrot all sorts of false propaganda (which you seem increasingly bent towards) ever facing a rebuttal from me - and I thought that would be a really stupid thing for me to commit to - to allow you to post all sorts of silliness without having to deal with any sort of counter from me. I mean it's sorta like you being a business and shutting down a competitor.

                  So I decided I'll respond to meaningful content you post, but not to 'you' as it were so as to keep a capacity to rebut foolishness, but to stay away from - as much as you will allow - personal interaction - as you requested.

                  You questing in this case unfortunately requires such personal 'interaction', but hopefully it's just a one off.

                  --

                  So I will continue to respond to content you post I believe needs a content directed response. But I will honor as much as possible your request I not interact with 'you', which would include jokes, comments I agree are true, etc - anything that is not necessary to counter what I see as a falsehood.

                  So that is actually where things stand at this point.

                    I don't think you're evil, Jim. I think you're deranged. Major big difference.

                      For the Grammar Nazi,
                      If your position is that modern France should inherit the thankfulness of actions of 1770's France, should not Modern Germany inherit the condemnation of the actions of 1940's Germany?

                          Be honest, did we really expect anything else?

                          I agree How we have arrived at the third decade of the 21st century only to find that swathes of our populations still exhibit superstitions and credulity that would not be out of place among a group of 13th century peasants, beggars belief.

                            It portrayed the French in a very positive light.
