TheBalancingAct

@HazelAppleyard Men receive compliments so rarely. We crave validation and kindness from our partners. Nothing makes me happier than when my wife tells me I'm looking handsome today or that she appreciates how smart I am.

Let’s hear it, then…

@TomiRikhotso We ended slavery and we're damn near the only ones that actually enforce the laws that stop it. That's why you can find open slave markets in Africa and the Middle East, but you can't find them in the West.

Given a chance, white people would re- enslave us.

@anglofuturist Canadian here. Not great. Very bad.

Can we get an update on this, please?

@Michelle_in_ON @KenC12626 @RealAlbanianPat Nope? You don't remember that? Fuck off, you can say you agree with it or disagree with it, but don't pretend it didn't happen. Yes, they discussed that, what did they decide? Did they decide to put most of it aside? Yeah.

@KenC12626 @RealAlbanianPat Nope but I remember this At the conservative leadership review they discussed abortion,Trans rights, gay marriage, First Nations veto, etc

I just checked Bluesky and they are castigating Mark Carney for his budget

Whether there are 700 or 200 agents of Iranian terror on our streets, the number doesn’t matter. The answer should be zero. Not one official tied to the IRGC should be walking freely in Canada. Not one should be exploiting our system. Not one should be finding safe haven here while the regime they serve terrorizes its own people and threatens ours at home. We gave the Liberals a week. They still have only deported one.

@BenjiGameDev I don't even know who you are, and I've never even heard of your game. So I think you're doing just fine! Maybe I'll go take a look

lol Ex Voto 407 peak players is garbage, lemme just check my-- ah

I think identity politics is a liberal cancer. I spent the majority of my young life as a gay rights activist, and then later as a trans rights activist (TRA). I walked away last summer after almost 30 years of it. I couldn’t be happier to be away from it all. The gay rights movement was hijacked by gender ideology after marriage equality was won. All of the major LGBT orgs were looking for the next civil rights frontier because they didn’t want to be out of a job. So they started pushing transgender onto the world. I know because I was there. I watched the LGBT movement significantly change within the 30 years that I spent in it. It went from wanting dignity, equality, and respect to castrating children, men in women’s sports, and puppy mask fetishes. I no longer recognize the community that I spent the majority of my life in.

@hanaamurakami I love Japanese culture. But I'm happily married. My wife also loves Japan but don't tell her parents (they're from Hong Kong).

Dear algorithm, please show this to people who love Japanese culture or secretly wants a Japanese girlfriend 🇯🇵

One day you WILL meet Jesus. That may irritate you, but it doesn’t make it any less true. Everyone will bow their knee. Some in tears of joy like they’re seeing an old friend, and some in terror and trepidation at their new reality. He is very good. Seek Him now.

@BrookeHale1978 @TheCriticalDri2 Inflation affects us all.

Cry harder, bitch.

For what it's worth, I think the argument there is probably to then poke at how young neonatal babies can be and still survive outside the womb. It's not a perfect argument, at a certain point in development, there's no possibility of sustenance outside the womb (yet), but it is a counter to nearly every abortion after the first trimester and certainly every abortion after the second.

Your argument is stupid

@DParallaXX @buchananite97 @xagreat John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” He not only met Moses but Abraham, and Abraham rejoiced to know of Christ's coming.

@buchananite97 @xagreat Did Jesus meet Moses?

Paul never met Jesus, but he wrote half of the Bible. Lol

@julso_app @buchananite97 @xagreat Incorrect. It was not a dream, he met him physically and while fully awake. You can choose to disbelieve, but don't lie about what is recorded.

@buchananite97 @xagreat But in his dream* not physical meeting.

@xagreat Kind of did meet Jesus. That's sort of the most crucial part of Paul's story. Meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus.

@Jvnior @EnochIslam While I may not agree with you. This is an act of great humility, and for that you have my respect. Godspeed and good luck.

I am QUITTING the debate space indefinitely. After a deep and sincere conversation with our revert brother @EnochIslam I have come to the realization that I have done more harm than good by trying to debate without a proper foundation in true Islamic knowledge. I ask Allah and the Muslim community to forgive me for what I have done in the past and to allow me to enter a new chapter of my life as a student of Islam instead of using Islam to my own will. I deeply regret taking debates with individuals who constantly disrespect Islam and I will steer far away from them. Truly, after speaking to our brother Enoch I have realized that the presence I have can be used for something greater and better than wasting time arguing with those who hate us. If I ever hurt you with my words, I sincerely ask for your forgiveness as I have made many mistakes in my life that I now seek to rectify before I meet my Lord on Judgement Day. The last 10 days of Ramadan spent in the Masjid was an invitation by my good friend and lawyer @HassanShibly who helped me in my journey back to Islam away from hedonism. I’m still learning, and I have no knowledge to speak on Islam in a public space, let alone in debates. So I will refrain from doing so until I finish my proper schooling recommended to me and I will continue to strive for Allah in private. My efforts will be focused on creating content for journalism, activism, and financial education. I hope that you continue this journey with me as I navigate this chaotic world as a human. I ask Allah to forgive me and forgive anyone who may have done wrong through my influence or actions, and I sincerely ask those who support me or know about me to make dua for me to become the best version of myself while I am alive. This is my only personal goal in life… to become the best version of myself so I can serve others around me in the best way possible. That’s it. May Allah accept my sincere repentance.

Where did I say any of that. I said if you aren't a complete psycho and your "wife" isn't a child, you should be able to trust that she won't cheat on you the second she speaks to a stranger outside the home, and that your fear of being cheated on is more telling of your own addled brained misogyny and sexual insecurity.

@YRespectfullyK @Ibrahim_S_Amin Your entire premise is married woman having 30 men as friends is innocent and cute - I'm saying where does this lead towards eventually? That is where your argument defeats itself.

I've heard people say the Allah of the Quran was really Satan or Baal or some other such supernatural entity, using Mohammed to work cosmic malevolence. But if you read the Quran cover to cover, "Allah" is clearly just Mohammed knowingly committing fraud. Like a scam email or DM.

@WhiptonDash @Ibrahim_S_Amin You're just making up your own ridiculous strawmen arguments. That have no relation to reality or my own arguments. Which makes a lot of sense since if you argued on the points you'd look even more foolish.

@YRespectfullyK @Ibrahim_S_Amin You keep ignoring WHERE does a married woman casually having 20-30 men as "friends"? 👈🤨🤨. How do you not see this leads to cheating? Where is your common sense? Wake up! This isn't rocket science

And the highest rates of pedophilia and child marriage, and killing women for being raped go to you. Adultery is bad, certainly, but if the only way you can prevent your wife from cheating on you is treating her like a prisoner and a slave, then I think that speaks to your failings as a husband and a man. How pitiful that you can't even trust your wife in a conversation without fearing that she'd run off with him. It wouldn't eventually lead there if you were being a better steward of your marriage.

@YRespectfullyK @Ibrahim_S_Amin Western Christian countries with free mixing have highest rate of adultery, divorce and cheating 👈🤨🤨. THAT is where it ultimately lead - this is the point of Jesus saying here. "Ye shall know them by their fruits" - famous Bible saying. You're literally against Jesus here.

No. That passage says "looking at a woman with lust is a sin" not "do not look at women or you won't be able to control your lust." I know it may be confusing for you, but actually most men in most societies around the world can actually look a woman in the eyes without thinking about them sexually. This is because we were raised in societies that actually value women.

@YRespectfullyK @Ibrahim_S_Amin Jesus literally says the same thing here.

Correct. Jesus did not say that. Because Jesus does not think that a married woman speaking with another man is the same as having sex with him. Absolutely a man must protect his wife. He must be willing to die for her as Christ did for humanity. Selfless love is our mission. Nowhere in the Bible though, does it say Christians must hide their wives from other people out of fear that they might cheat on them. I suppose Christians are just more secure. Probably because we treat our wives like equal partners. But perhaps I am being too harsh, a lot of your protectiveness does make a great deal more sense when I remember that Muslims are routinely marrying children. Children do require more supervision. I however, like the vast majority of the world, thankfully, married an adult woman who I can trust not to be lured into a van with promises of candy.

@YRespectfullyK @Ibrahim_S_Amin Here Jesus says man and his wife become one 👈. He did not say she becomes "one" with every random guy afterwards. This is why liberalism is a lie - even Jesus understood what I am saying. A man must protect his wife - this is common sense.
