The Appomattox Surrender Flag of the US Confederacy. Arguably, the true final flag of the confederacy was a dishtowel.

  • Build my own village with affordable rent and live in a mansion in the middle and be like a lord of my own little village. Maybe also build a good school there. Evict people if they do anti social behaviour. Then when someone has paid enough rent to pay off the mortgage, surprise them by just giving them the house, or maybe after a time offer them to buy it with a reduced price because of the rent paid. So someone could probably live there and raise a family until they can afford a house, then buy their own house back.

    Also arrange loads of community events, get people out and involved. Just make a wholesome and affordable community for others to live in. Maybe get businesses to move in to offer jobs as well.

    • How can children be introduced to digital technology and the internet in a playful way? At what age is this appropriate? And how can this be done without exposing children to all the negative aspects?

  • My parents just didn't want me being cyber bullied... Which didn't make sense as I made an Instagram and talked there. My sister though still told me to keep the account private. It was under a pseudonym and I never even posted my face there

  • I got mine at 11 which was younger than that. Thankfully I was quite well behaved already and knew not to share personal information online. Beforehand I had been using a family desktop computer. I was very cagey about who even obtained my phone number.

  • So you're saying that God should have cancelled His plans because a dude made a stupid vow?

    The girl also didn't seem to protest too much. In fact, she appeared to encourage him. She asked for two weeks up a mountain. It would have been ample time to run away. She didn't.

    Judges 11:36-40

    And she said to him, “My father, you have opened your mouth to the Lord; do to me according to what has gone out of your mouth, now that the Lord has avenged you on your enemies, on the Ammonites.” So she said to her father, “Let this thing be done for me: leave me alone two months, that I may go up and down on the mountains and weep for my virginity, I and my companions.” So he said, “Go.” Then he sent her away for two months, and she departed, she and her companions, and wept for her virginity on the mountains. And at the end of two months, she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow that he had made. She had never known a man, and it became a custom in Israel that the daughters of Israel went year by year to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year.

    If you were given an eternity in paradise, why would you waste it thinking about one event back on earth? Some people die worse deaths. And why would you be pissed at God for not making your crappy life a thousand years ago slightly less crappy? You don't have trauma in Heaven.

    Revelation 21:3-4

    And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

    His daughter didn't even worry about dying that much- she was more upset that she didn't have the chance to have offspring. Even she knew that eternity was better than what she had here.

  • It's ridiculous. And I'm someone talking from a Protestant/Unionist background from Belfast.

    Basically, Kneecap has had provocative music which hits at home about distrusting police, burning police vehicles, dressing in PIRA attire. The PIRA is a very real terrorist organisation at home. One could argue that kneecap could be directly or indirectly encouraging terrorist activity at home or inspiring people to follow in the PIRA's footsteps via attitude. They also advocated for killing MPs.

    But somehow, the line is crossed when they display a flag of a foreign terrorist organisation halfway across the world.

    So the way the law is acting, it's as if Kneecap is more likely to inspire Hezbollah to cause a terrorist attack instead of an Irish dissident at home. Which I think everyone can agree is ridiculous conclusion to make. But that's the conclusion the law has seemed to made. Basically, something is up.

    Now, I'm not saying they should be prosecuted for their other material either. I'm just saying that this whole thing doesn't make sense that the line is crossed on a foreign terrorist movement not relevant to us.

    Something is up.

  • He was a volunteer firefighter. I reckon he was benefit to society. I wouldn't cheer a death lightly.

    Another thing is, people can be indoctrinated/misled into supporting Trump. I find a lot of passive supporters or believers in conspiracy theories seem to be moreso victims. Trump can pay lip service to Corey, but we all know that deep down, he is glad it was Corey and not him. Another case is Ashli Babbitt. I think it's a tragedy that she was misled, groomed and indoctrinated into storming the United States parliament building, but her shooting was still justified. She was part of a mob that was going after Mike Pence. She was possibly led to believe that what she was doing was fighting for her country. But it was still a tragedy that she was there and not at home with her family, even though the killing was necessary, given the circumstances.

    Personally, I wouldn't condemn people celebrating the deaths of the likes of Trump, Putin or Netanyahu if they were shot. In fact, I would probably be happy myself - especially if Putin.

    I also don't think the execution of your CEO guy by Luigi was unjustified either, and don't have a problem with people celebrating that. But these are people in power directly responsible for making the world worse. You can be indirectly responsible for making the world worse and not know it. Such as misled voters (I used to be misled into thinking Brexit was a good thing)

    Even when it comes to power, for example, I wouldn't celebrate the death of Lis Truss. She was stupid, but not malicious enough.
