  1. It's a little more nuanced than that. Theologians use the term "abrogation" meaning that where there's a conflict between Old and New Testaments, the later New Testament overrules the Old Testament. In practice this means things like Christians no longer being held to old rules about what you can and can't eat, that animal sacrifices are no longer required, and God will no longer punish people (in this life at least) for disobeying him.
  2. Utterly irrelevant to Christians. The old rules were ripped up and replaced by the New Covenant, reflected in the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus. Can't comment on Judaism, though pretty sure it doesn't reflect current Jewish practice or belief. Personally, I've generally found Rabbis to be wise and compassionate.
  3. What you are calling "Islamic extremist ideology" isn't extremist. He was simply following the teachings of the Koran and Hadith, and the example of Islam's perfect man, Mohammed. To quote from the Koran: Surah 2:191: And kill them [non-Muslims] wherever you find them Surah 9:5: Then kill the disbelievers [non-Muslims] wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush Of course, apologists for Islam will say that these verses are taken out of context. But then, that's apparently what Moslems do to justify their violence to Christians and to Jews.
  4. That assumes that one knows that HMPO stands for. I'd assumed it was something to do with the Post Office. Still, my mistake.
  5. Just ask if he and his partner would be interested in a threesome with you.
  6. Yes, it's the late king. It was a token given to hillstribe people to prove their identity in pre-ID card days. See https://www.web-pra.com/auction/show/7994860 (in Thai).
  7. Not bored. Just pedantic, and able to count to two. How about you?
  8. (1) that's not "one thing", it's two. (2) Do you really think he's limiting his ambitions only to the Asia Pacific Region? I don't.
  9. Reminds me of the joke: I went to the zoo the other day, there was only one dog in it. It was a <deleted>zu.
  10. You support animal conservation, saving animals that might otherwise become extinct in the wild.
  11. The "key plank in Britain" is Sunak and his Tory chums. (Just to explain for those of you not having been blessed to be born British, "plank" is a British slang term for someone whose mental capacity is similar in aptitude to a piece of wood.)
  12. It's saddening when people instantly that followers of The Religion of Peace are responsible for all violent attacks. Joel Cauchi was a rent boy - not something normally associated with devout Moslems - and a schizophrenic. Perhaps, just perhaps, it was schizophrenia that drove him to it, not admiration for Prophet Mo.

  13. Bet it still sounds better than all the (c)rap music one hears on the wireless these days.
  14. Really? I thought death by suffocation typically took 3-4 minutes, so hardly "immediate". Yet more shoddy reporting from The Thaiger whose reporters seem never to engage their brains before writing sensationalist claptrap.
  15. The title “Kamnan Nok” imprisoned for two years" I believe is mistaken. Yesterday the press reported that he would be sentenced at a later date - after the police.
  16. Not sure where they're getting their figures from. The BMI cuttoffs for Asians and Asian Americans are: Underweight < 18.5 Normal 18.5 - 22.9 Overweight 23 - 26.9 Obese ≥ 27 See, for example: https://tieuduongcardiff.com/fileman/Uploads/Documents/13.bmiforasianandasianamericanadults-horizontal-en-2015.pdf https://aadi.joslin.org/en/am-i-at-risk/asian-bmi-calculator
  17. It's a close run thing between her and Boebert. Of course, if Palin had ever been a representative it would be a three way race.
  18. But when God in His infinite wisdom created the universe in 4004 BC he planned the movements of all the heavenly bodies and ordained when earthquakes should occur. The eclipse and the earthquake are undoubtedly a warning to the unbelievers lest they don't vote for his belovèd chosen Son glorious in his orange radiance.
  19. ^^^ LibreOffice is functionally almost identical to Microsoft Office. I've never found a feature I needed that wasn't available in LibreOffice. Plus, it doesn't force that stupid "ribbon" on you which I find incredibly unhelpful and annoying. Having recently been forced to use Microsoft Word for a Ph.D. thesis (not mine - I did mine 40 years ago when everything had to be typed manually), I was reminded how poor Microsoft UI design is, and how it decreases productivity - at least for competent individuals. In short: Micro$oft sucks.
  20. LibreOffice Calc is a better one - it's free.
  21. Not sure what the "etc" is doing in there. Sheep? Horse? Goat? And do you reject the view of marriage as it is in the Koran, man and four women? In short, are you just homophobic, or also Islamophobic?
  22. The OP doesn't state how he/she will be arriving in Thailand. One should be extremely concerned if transiting through a Muslim country such as Dubai or Saudi Arabia. The codeine would definitely be a problem.
  23. When did minimarts start selling sugar in such large sacks? I smell male cow ordure.
