That God has a strange sense of humor.
He also sends lightning strikes down on his own flock.
No one is safe.

That's how you end up charged with terrorism in Minecraft.

More likely it’s the giant phallic symbol stuck on the roof that draws the lightning.

Several off topic posts were removed.

The topic is the destruction of the Georgia Guidestones; it's not a stage to launch some bizarre accusations about George Soros or political grandstanding.

It's also worth noting that "George Soros" can be read as a dog whistle for "the Jews" so maybe stop using his name as the ultimate boogeyman?

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has released surveillance video in the search for those responsible for setting off an explosion at the Georgia Guidestones monument, which they now say has been completely demolished over safety concerns.

"For safety reasons, the structure has been completely demolished", the Georgia Bureau of Investigation later said while releasing the videos which show the blast and a silver car fleeing the scene.

The attraction gained renewed attention in May when Kandiss Taylor, a Republican candidate for governor, claimed the stones were satanic and included destroying them as part of her platform.

Oh, good god!! ! <facepalm>

George Soros isn't garbage because he's Jewish, although he uses his nationality as a cover a lot. He's garbage for his actions!

He sponsored Antifa, who caused billions of dollars in damage around the US during the summer of 2020. He sponsored the creation of the Election Infection, which caused massive mental health problems from the months-long social isolation it created (unless you joined QAnon, like I did). He destroyed the Bank of England, by dumping currency and other commodities on the market. And he's looking to push mass immigration of nonproductive citizens to First World countries; it happened in Europe in mid 2010's, and in North America in 2018. Maybe he even paid off Mr. Plank, which is why he's so well-liked around here.

I hate that guy! But how can I be an antisemite while trashing George Soros, if I'm Jewish myself? It's the same as an American trashing Robert E. Lee, because that man fought against the American union. Think about it. (No UK/British examples I can think of, sorry.)

Anyway...

Maybe the next guidestones, if rebuilt, will have different, more up-to-date messages, like:
1. Show contempt to government health agencies, for they are destroying your freedoms under false pretexts.
2. Do not trust politicians who accept money from Marxist investment bankers. (that's *him*)
3. Know your country's laws and constitutional amendments, for they are your only weapons against tyranny.
(and more, but I haven't had my coffee yet)

^ I'd ask "evidence, please" but I know that would be futile.

^^ At the very least, please understand that people mainly hate George Soros for his actions, not his Jewishness.

“Unite humanity with a new living language.”

That’s not feasible or realistic, but it probably pissed off those who think English should have supremacy.

In any case, as a whole, the idealism reminds me of the song “Imagine.” It’s no wonder Yoko Ono liked it.


Maybe that's what espiranto was invented for.

Yes, that's exactly why Esperanto was developed. But it didn't catch on, except among enthusiasts.

That's understandable; nobody wants to learn a whole new language from scratch. Perhaps it'd be better to revive Latin, a dead but widely known language, with many of its "descendants" still being around. It's what happened with Hebrew, when Israel was reestablished in 1948 (after getting conquered by the Romans 2000 years prior).

Fixed that for you. :wink:

Nevertheless, even if not by you - the name is still used as a dog whistle so its use is best avoided, lest an accusation of that nature sticks to you too...

Yep, I'd buy that.
Latin has a conciseness and an elegance all its own.

Har-har! :roll: :evil:

But OK, I'll bite. If "George Soros" isn't OK, then what is? "That Member of the Elite"? "That Rotten Banker"? Do tell.

Since the things he's accused of are unmitigated crap and a conspiracy theorist's wet dream, let's just not prolong that lunacy any further and simply... stop promoting it.

The only reason I'm not arguing against this is that you have mod powers, and I don't.

You can argue against it all you want, provided you do so within the site rules - but this isn't the best thread for it.
Feel free to start one, though - I suggest PPR would be a good location.
