Abrams calls for removal of Confederate faces off Stone Mountain

Tass is from Australia - the banknotes don't have the same pictures.

Exactly. Who notices most statues these days except for saying let's meet by that statue near the north entrance of the park?

Look you bigot, statues are usually made of WHITE marble which makes them racist!!!!

DRAT! OK, so he can focus on his RACE COWARD hero.

Good ol' Mitch has other scandals, like his Parking Lot fiasco. But, hey, he said some words Tassy liked! I guess that's all that matters.

Yep... I love how the most vocal critics of America don't even live here.

[Sparko]

Hey, superhypocrite --- round up all your $1, $20, $50 and $100 bills and send them to me, because they depict SLAVE OWNERS on them! I will properly dispose of them for you.

He can't cuz he isn't even an American. He lives down in Australia which they stole from black people.

THIS - is Antifa

And not just in America.

We didn't just make up a set of essential doctrines, dimwit. They have been the essential doctrines of Christianity since the council of Nicea.

You would think that a self-professed "expert on the subjects of Christian theology and history and biblical interpretation" would know something this basic.

[One Bad Pig]

LOL. You don't get to tell me what I can and can't do.

As it happens I wish to keep my personal details private. Revealing a particular book I'd authored would run rather contrary to that. And I have zero interest in trying to market the book to the small and antagonistic audience on this site.

Rather, I am trying to point out that when Sparko tells me there's such a thing as 'orthodoxy' and 'heresy' and seems to think he's nailing it by informing ignorant little me of something I previously didn't know... I'm actually facepalming because I would run circles around Sparko in terms of knowing what different Christian groups throughout history thought were orthodox and heretical views, and could tell you why they thought that, what their main arguments were etc.

As it happens I rarely discuss theology/biblical interpretation/christian history etc on this site these days (I once did under a different username years ago, and no I'm not telling you what it was), in part because this particular forum restricts the theological sub-forums to Christians-only, in part because there's only about 2 posters here who I judge have sufficient expertise to be worth my time talking to so different forums are a better choice, and in part because the reason I'm here is because I'm fascinated by how insane conservative US politics is compared to the rest of the Western world and this forum has a high concentration of conservative US posters.

And yet, somehow, despite the fact that I barely discuss theology / biblical interpretation / christian history, there's a bizarre talking point among conservative posters here that I have no clue on the topics, which seems to be grounded in them confusing disagreement and ignorance. It's fascinating. To repeat:

Keep ramping up the rhetoric.

For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

That works so much better than providing actual evidence.

And Tasmania has a particularly wretched history having nearly eliminated the indigenous population during what was called the Black War

That's what happens when you mistake the back of a box of breakfast cereal for scholarship.

Well, I personally saw some guy in Australia waging war on the Aborigines, and Magnum PI had to take a break from his TV show and go down there and stop it!


(yeah, I know, it was a movie )

However, many movies are based on fact...

In January 1788 the British invaded the island continent now known as Australia. Over the following years those invaders would use all their manpower, resources, and weaponry to subjugate the indigenous people, in a war herein referred to as the Australian Aboriginal War. This may come as a shock to most non-Aboriginal Australians, for no references to the Australian Aboriginal War will be found in the standard histories of this continent. Yet the facts bear witness to the truth of its occurrence.

Yep - It was pretty much the same as Custer planned at the Little Big Horn, only in Tasmania, the plan succeeded.

There may or may be not in the history books - but the letters patent for the province of South Australia are clear enough:

At least they're called "Persons", and not just 3/5 persons.
