DeepSight:
I was really wondering what basilico was writing there. Aside from the spelling - "exonarate" - which he could claim to be a typo - the proper word still remains meaningless in the sentence in which he used it.
He was hoping we'd not notice that he tells himself lies, and writing it would make it obvious to himself hence the rubbish.

DeepSight:
It beats me how he cannot even see the yelping contradiction in the phrase "undetermined from drugs" - You cannot say that cause of death is "undetermined" and in the very same breath say "from drugs." That is just a shouting contradiction.
He cannot see because he can not look because his sight is very shallow.

basilico:
He had lethal amounts of drugs in his veins. The effects of fentanyl, methamphetamine, cannabis, heart diseases and
covid did not exonarate his death.
Tell me you did not hold your breathe and hope we wouldn't notice you are not making sense.

In fact do you know you've made no sense?

It's hard not to, but we can't be led by the Conservative Nuttery. Either you believe in a parents rights or you don't. You can't believe in it only when the parent does what you want. You can't believe it's ok for a 12 y.o. to get married and then b*tch that they are at that show. I believe in allowing people to make their own life decisions as long as it doesn't impact others. But I am also socially conservative. I wouldn't be at the show and neither would my kids. But if parents think that is ok.. hey.

Also a lot of this is nuttery. When I was in undergrad I got to spend some time in the UK. Growing up in the Catholic environment I did, I felt like a prude while I was there. The UK's view of sex is much different than the US and their society is still around.
In Blighty just don't scare the horses. Children, we educate to immunize against stupidity unless chosen or harmful.

If these celebrities could be more socially aware of what happens in our world maybe they should cut it down and move the narrative towards the daily deluge of Pastors, cops and Politicians abusing children everyday.
They are socially aware. That's why they are opposing it instead of letting the likes of basilico dictate how they live.

Ijebos, budaatum
Did you guys see that Sam Smith concert in Sheffield. I literally felt a vomit coming out of my system.
I don't know how you feel about it but it was deplorable. Acts like what he did is the reason the Reich wing nuts conflate lgbtq, trans and queer to pedos which is never the case.
It takes away the focus from these same right wing nuts abusing children everyday and supporting child marriages.

Shame on Sam Smith, used to love his songs.
They don't give a fuq and are intentionally sticking their finger up god's nose.

Never heard of before now.

Just take a look at Kentucky, no one dares question the blood lust NRA but now even the Sheriffs and doctors are blasting republiqans for banning harmless books but not guns.

2024 will be huge! A blowout and the republiqan party will finally be laid to rest.

That's Cute.
Simply put, I think you should stop stanning for those people who are themselves bullies and enable bullying behavior. An example, I wouldn't be telling someone who I just saw robbing someone to have a "happy vacation" (you and Benalvino3).
You seem rather comfortable deriving minute gratifications despite their greater cost (those same people posting your personal Facebook pictures).
I wonder if you'd want me to cry because some stupid illiterate donkey attempts to bully me by invading my privacy.

Personally, I derive immense gratification in the pain ignoring it provokes. Besides, it's Nairaland, where no one checks for brain use and any immature toddler can pick up a device and insult and be rude to whomever they want, so why sweat?

I can't control donkeys, but I sure as hell can control my response or lack of thereof. And I know they hate the inattention by how often they include ones moniker in their posts if they are ignored, so even more immense gratification derived. And that's on top of knowing their behaviour will ensure they fail in real life.

If I can't stand their braying I'm welcome not to visit the thread, but I can't help checking how dumb and stupid they can be and how donkeys expect the country they are a majority in to be better than it is.

si, there are many here telling you America is falling and waining in power. Daily, paedophile posts are posted, woke is rising, constantly you lament the blues are taking over, yet you seem surprised that China is eating more of the world cake as if they have no right to. Don't you think China having no right means Nigeria shouldn't even think of rights, or is it forever impossible for Nigerian buyers in Naira?

Vote dump and watch China eat up the entire United States of America land lock stock and barrel. They'll help you pass your anti my body my choice laws you so want passed, so you might be tempted.
Christianity Etc › Re: Qur'an 9:31 Did Allah Make A Mistake In His Qur'an? by budaatum: 7:45pm On Apr 09, 2023
TenQ:
Note:
Let's discuss what the Qur'an truly says rather than what we feel the Qur'an is saying.

Questions:
1. Knowing that the Qur'an is clear and simple to understand, is Allah associating the Messiah as partners with him?

2. Is this Quranic verse an error or mistake OR is it exactly what Allah intend to say?
No. Allah is not associating partners with him, and nor is it an error. You after all do not claim Allah is associating partnership with any other person written about in the Qur'an, nor would most even claim that "lā ʾilāha ʾillā-llāh, muhammadun rasūlu-llāh" is associating muhammadun with Allah, so why make up an "associating" with the Messiah?

"They have taken their rabbis and monks as well as the Messiah, son of Mary, as lords besides Allah, even though they were commanded to worship none but One God", is it written in 31, which some would go as far as a warning not to place other teachings above Allah's as written by Muhammad.

"Such are their baseless assertions, only parroting the words of earlier disbelievers", it is written in 30, so especially not even "volumes of Hadiths, the Tafsirs and Traditions", though they must be read to broaden the mind and thinking.

TenQ:
3. Does Allah truly want us to make the Messiah LORD with him?
I doubt it. Not even the Christian God "truly want us to make the Messiah LORD with him", and Islam does not even want to make Muhammad Lord with Lord Allah. But if you understand different, that Lord Allah wants to elevate the Messiah above Muhammed, I'm interested. Though bear in mind an outsider to be claiming higher hierarchy than a Son might be odd.

basilico:
That was slate.com direct quote.
Idiot
Your ignorant misunderstanding you mean.

We align ourselves with the former view: Clarence Thomas broke the law, and it isn’t particularly close. The best argument in his defense is that the old definition of “personal hospitality” did not require him to disclose transportation, including private flights. This reading works only by torturing the English language beyond all recognition. The old rule, like the statute it derives from, defined the term as hospitality that is “extended” either “at” a personal residence or “on” their “property or facilities.” A person dead-set on defending Thomas might be able to squeeze these yacht trips into this definition, arguing that, by hosting Thomas on his boat for food, drink, and sightseeing, Crow “extended” hospitality “on” his own property. But lending out the private jet for Thomas’ personal use? Come on. There’s no plausible way to shoehorn these trips into the old rule—which quotes the statute verbatim—even under the most expansive interpretation imaginable. Letting somebody use your private jet to travel around the country is not “extend[ing]” hospitality “on” your property. It is lending out your property to someone else so they can avoid paying for a commercial flight. Thomas broke the law, a law which contains serious civil penalties, though the bogus technicality on which he relies, in addition to his political clout, will be more than enough to ensure that he never faces any actual legal consequences.”

Try this your obfuscated dislogic somewhere else, it does not apply in capitalist America where you can hardly lend without paying.

TenQ:
You probably don't know that Islam depend not only on the Qur'an but volumes of Hadiths, the Tafsirs and Traditions.
I'd say that Islam depends on one using one's own brain and mind as opposed to relying on "volumes of Hadiths, the Tafsirs and Traditions" that might suggest some Allah sat down with a pen and wrote the Qur'an. But then, we might be considering Muslims at different levels of Islam because the Muslims I know would tell you the Quran was, at best, verbally revealed from God through the angel Gabriel to Muhammad who [got people to] wrote it down, while many are studying the ingenuity involved if Muhammad wrote it himself and unaided, with his own mind and with his own brain.

They might be the evolved Muslims I guess, and not that stuck in "volumes of Hadiths, the Tafsirs and Traditions" of Islam.

Business › Re: Is Movie Production A Profitable Business? by budaatum: 3:39pm On Apr 09, 2023
Knowing about movie production requires knowledge about movies in general, and how stories are written in the first place, and how they evolve on to a screen. Sometimes, they start from a dream, or from Balaam's ass, or a burning bush, or from the use of the brain, and often involve research.

Did Allah make a mistake in his Qur'an?
The ignorance in the question asks one to accept the false premise that Allah wrote the Qur'an when nothing of the sort is claimed anywhere in the Qur'an.

Humans write words and books, and by nature, humans do make mistakes and even write outright lies and falsehoods, and oftentimes, ignorantly.
