One Mexican official said Trump “lost his temper.” But U.S. officials described him instead as being frustrated and exasperated, saying Trump believed it was unreasonable for Peña Nieto to expect him to back off his crowd-pleasing campaign promise of forcing Mexico to pay for the wall.
What does that music have to do with Trump? — René Descartes
While today’s meeting made for great TV, the gun-control proposals discussed would make for bad policy that would not keep our children safe. Instead of punishing law-abiding gun owners for the acts of a deranged lunatic our leaders should pass meaningful reforms that would actually prevent future tragedies.
Are you Polish? I very much doubt this. In most of the Eastern bloc religion thrived but only nominally. Like if you ask people on the street they will tell you they're religious, buuuuut - if you watch how they behave :lol: :rofl:Poland was a Communist nation actually during much of the 20th century and yet Christianity thrived just as much as ever in that nation. — René Descartes
Hm? I'm saying that in Eastern European countries people call themselves religious, not atheists. But if you watch their behaviour, you see that that's not quite the case.I think it was Peter Geach who said to atheists something like "You deny God's existence yet your attitudes and behaviours belief that claim". He is essentially saying people,call themselves atheists yet live their lives as though God exists, so I think you are wrong. — René Descartes
Ok, if that makes you happier, I don't understand it.I don't think you understood Geach, or the argument. — René Descartes
No, not necessarily.And Eastern Orthodox Christians as well as Polish Catholics are far more dedicated and devoted to their religion then American Christians will ever be. — René Descartes
Oh let's see - like cheating on their wives? Treating women like a sex toy? Corruption at all levels, starting from the local policeman to the President of the country. Greedy. Tax evasion. Uncaring. That's how many people are in Eastern Europe. Sure, they go to Church from time to time, wear crosses around their necks, receive the priest in their houses, etc. But to what end - the priest also takes bribes! :rofl:And what behaviour are you talking about that are atheist — René Descartes
I don't think you know me, and no I'm not an atheist.since you seem to be a devout atheist yourself. — René Descartes
