    'Weapon of war' is a meaningless term. All weapons are used in war, and virtually none of them were ever originally designed for it.. The first firearms ('fire lance' China,...

    I am having trouble finding a meaningful distinction from this new view that 'everything = God' and the old one, 'God is everything.' Isn't it kindof just a new path to the...

  5. modernpaladin liked FreshAir's post in the thread Trump Speaks Out After Using Term Widely Considered to be Antisemitic: ‘Never Heard That’.

    it is a weird word to use, wonder where Trump heard it, before using it this time Trump's vocabulary is not the largest, so he had to hear someone else use is, but I agree, he...

    You can claim to be the arbiter of normality all you want ...but I won't be considering your claim with any weight. I've never heard the term in all my 44 years. Therefore it...

    I doubt they've gotten that far yet. Not sure it's really more than a Musk tweet at this point.

    I'm sure a few people know. I doubt Trump was winking to those few people ...or even knew 'shylock' was anything but a word to describe predatory lenders.
