@lady_valor_07 France without hesitation. I don’t need to be forced, just funded :)

If you were forced to live in Europe, Where would you choose?

@NotAvgLiberal I bet none of these police shot anyone who looked suspicious either. It’s amazing that even police without guns can police.

Been in Europe almost 2 weeks. Seen a lot of armed police officers, A lot of heavily armed military personnel. Not a single one wearing a mask. Not a single one asked to see mine, my wife’s or my son’s papers / passports. Not a single one detaining or beating the shit out of anyone. Yeah… America is clearly fucked up.

@ToeteKenxal Australians say ‘youse’

The fact there is no plural for "you" in english is annoying

@DavidJHarrisJr Of course! My kids went to a religious private high school and some of their classmates were Muslim. Why not? They all hung out together at our house on weekends. Why on earth wouldn’t they?

🚨Pope Leo: "Christians and Muslims can live together and be friends." Thoughts?

@JackMar27989625 @Luv_Xcuses Yeah we chose not to kill 26,000 people unnecessarily. We had the freedom to, we just thought that was a terrible thing to do and that freedom from illness was a better freedom to have.

@Luv_Xcuses Freedom. COVID kind of showed that most people do not really have true sovereignty over themselves. Not to say they did not try to subvert us here in the US, but we were able to push back. Since COVID, things only seem to be getting worse in the other first-world nations.

Be brutally honest, what's one thing Americans are simply better at than the rest of the world??

@ReedFawell111 @Msemen2020 What’s your grievance with wanting people to be free to govern themselves?

This boils down to the language of hate. That is the pope’s real language. Because it’s built on grievance. It’s built on a ledge wrongs in the past. This is the woke agenda. To gain control of mobs by flaring them into hate. These are not the words of a peaceful man. You watch and see. This is a demagogue behind these words.

🇻🇦🇩🇿 To every Christian supporting Israel's "right" to colonize Palestinian land : Today in Algeria, a nation that endured 132 years of French colonization and genocide, Pope Leo XIV said : “Our presence here pays tribute to the spirit of a people who fought for their independence, dignity and sovereignty. […] God desires peace for every nation : a peace that is not merely the absence of conflict, but an expression of justice and dignity.” Colonization is a crime, whether in Algeria yesterday or in Palestine today. Peace without justice is hypocrisy. What part of this don’t you understand?

@CindyKilpatri19 @admcrlsn Well obviously. Thats what Protestantism was really built on not the principles of Lollardy.

@EleanorPoitiers @admcrlsn It was all very unchristian.

Been saying this for years — it’s past time for some sort of Reformation for Protestants to fully separate from the Catholic Church.

@jailedamanda @wroteandrot It seems awfully easy.

@wroteandrot I genuinely cannot wrap my head around the faith alone doctrine it just doesn’t compute for me

A lot of opinions on The Pope from people who were baptized in religions that intentionally don’t have The Pope

The pope has a now having a chance to do a hilarious thing and invite Trump to a reconciliation summit in Canossa, Italy.

@CindyKilpatri19 @admcrlsn His son made the reforming breaks from the church. The only ‘protestant’ church before Edward VI was Lutheran.

@CindyKilpatri19 @admcrlsn Not that wife. Two others. He divorced that wife - set himself up as head of the Church - THE Church - he considered himself a Catholic still - to marry the next one then SHE was beheaded. First wife died of illness. Two other wives (2nd and 5th) were beheaded.

@colingorrie This AI summary says what I wanted to say but within the character limit:

The surnames "Menzies" and "Mackenzie" were never meant to be pronounced with a 'z.' The original spellings used the medieval yetter yogh, which looked like this: ȝ Yogh once represented a 'y' sound in both English and Scots. So the name "Mackenȝie" was actually pronounced like "Mackenyie." The 'ȝ' got replaced with a 'z' because the two letters looked similar, and 'z' was easier to print. But the names were still pronounced with a 'y' sound by those in the know. ... not everyone was in the know. When others encountered these spellings with 'z,' they did what seemed like the sensible thing: they pronounced them with a 'z' sound. Hence the modern pronunciation of Mackenzie: with a 'z' sound. The case of "Menȝies" is a bit more complicated. Traditionally, it's pronounced like "Mingus." It likely came from a Norman French name Mesnières, which ended up sounding like "Menyers" in Scots, hence the use of yogh: Menȝies. Eventually, the "ny" sound in Menȝies became an "ng," which isn't far away in the mouth. The pronunciation of "Menzies" as "Mingus" is still heard, but it's competing with the version said with a 'z.' The language changed — albeit in a small way — simply because printers didn't have a letter.

@suchan104 @AdamJSchwarz No, he’s engaging in important foreign policy in building alliances that are mutually beneficial.

@AdamJSchwarz He's not interfering in the politics of a foreign country, is he?

Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar calls for the UK to rejoin the European Union: "I remember when I was a diplomat in Brussels... We were able to influence decisions. At the time, the Brits were also part of the EU. Let's hope they will rejoin."

@Misha8989 @WolfJ_C @Luv_Xcuses Seriously. It’s amazing you think you do. I lived there for 5 years and I felt less free than in the UK, France, or Australia. Free means feeling safe living my life. Free does not mean able to get a gun.

@Misha8989 @WolfJ_C @Luv_Xcuses You don’t.

@Luv_Xcuses Shooting people and having the worst electoral system of a purported democracy.

@dieworkwear Blasphemy aside it makes him look even more ridiculous. Perhaps we should just not interrupt him? I’m reminded of Yes Prime Minister.

I'm not religious, but I respect the importance that faith plays in people's lives. Posting an image of yourself as God is literally blasphemy. It shows a disregard for sacred imagery and, by extension, for the very concept of the divine. Trump should apologize.

@interbellica Serbia. State sponsored assassination that was calculated to get retalliation from Austria knowing they had Russia backing them.

If you had to blame one nation for WWI, who would it be and why?

@RicciGeri @em_Lazzy Left alone? So why is it bombing civilians?

@em_Lazzy Spain is a disgrace. Israel wants to be left alone to exist but the islamists can't stop killing Catholics/Christians and Jews. Queen Isabella is rolling over in her casket.

Spain has officially been declared an enemy of Israel by Netanyahu. Why? Because they condemn Israel’s attacks on Gaza. On Lebanon. On Iran. I stand with Spain. 🇪🇸
