I was speaking to one of the church wives from my Orthodox community recently, and she said that events like CPAC are good places to meet people and make connections.

I agree that connections can be made, but it largely depends on the types of connections one wishes to make.
Am I likely to meet people who are critical of all political viewpoints at first glance but lean more conservative because they're against most things in the left-wing, or am I going to meet mostly seals for the GOP?...

@Justicar The debtor is always a slave to the lender. It's good advice to keep in mind to guard against foreigner communities.
I think we need to bring back the distinction between citizens and non-citizens like Rome used to have. Just because you live somewhere doesn't mean you should have access to the levers of power.

@Shlomo And that same percentage will not survive if the wider society ever had to go back to tending said cows.

@VD15 That's making a difference in one's life with initiative. Wonderful!

@Autumn This is a poignant joke: "You're just not used to it."

@charliebrownau Yes. So much yes.

@deprecated_ii This is nonsense. Can you live without these "primary circulatory pumps"? Yes. Can you live without a heart? No.

@Based_Accelerationist @RoninGrey I'm not disagreeing with you in those cases. The early church did practice communal property, and afterwards they didn't because it failed miserably as communism in any form does.
In the first case, I was suggesting you look specifically for different interpretation to learn other perspectives.

You are itching for a fight even when I didn't insult you. Calling Christianity "evil" shows that you aren't thinking critically, just rooting for a different team.

@VD15 Is crazy sex is the most amazing sex? Yes. It's also NEVER worth it. Do NOT go for it.

@RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare @abgreport It doesn't have to be that way, but I sympathize. Most females today in the west are thots.

@Justicar That is one of the most timely and poignant responses I've ever heard. 10/10 clip. Thank you.

@Autumn Shayla* I misspelled it.

@Autumn Likely not too long, perhaps 10 years...

Also, Shailas are preferable, in my opinion, to all of these, and they're not just Muslim in origin though the name might be. Most Christians of the middle east wore them even before Islam. Female head covering used to be the default, even in the United States. We're just used to thots everywhere.

@VD15 This made me chuckle. Thank you.

@Based_Accelerationist @RoninGrey @nomebullyyou I highly recommend reading some of the more philosophical church fathers, especially those like Clement of Alexandria who dug into the matter of a rich man in heaven (see his "Who is the Rich man who would be saved?") because he shows that the lesson doesn't make sense with a literalist and pleb-tier interpretation. It is far more subtle speaking of the nature of human desire. Nietzsche also agrees in such cases.

@sickburnbro Perhaps the statistics are misrepresented or patent forgeries?
