Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

I love my frens
Who do you trust more to babysit for you, Kim Jong Un or anyone from the DS left?
I trust Kim more.. this how badly I see the left.
Kim Jong Un paid a visit to the school

They say that hard times make good men, good men make good times, and good times make weak men, and weakmen make hard times.
I find it somewhat surprising that at this juncture in Trump's 2nd administration, he is accomplishing so much, so much, and yet, I've never seen more whinging, complaining, griping and accusation against Trump and his team on GAW as I have the last few weeks.
I mean, the psyopery out there is super intense, but even so. All while fighting off the worst evil on the planet, Trump has accomplished more in 9 months than perhaps any President has in history, save for the founders. And maybe Lincoln. (Good or bad, he did a lot).
Sheeesh. Some voices just sound like super whiny petulant kids who are chucking a tantrum because they didn't get their favorite (wanted) Christmas toy.
Get some perspective, please.
(That's a rhetorical plea, folks)
Well said fren.
Well said and I completely agree. I imagine how much it must hurt God’s heart that he has given us a President that is working everyday to give us a better life and yet people still complain. Complaning and being ungrateful is why prayers don’t ever get answered. Suck it up people we are in a war for humanity not just for one human.
Suck it up buttercup is one of my favorite sayings. After the past few years I truly believe many people will be lost forever. Especially those that mock God. Between the brainwashing, pagan worship and flat out disrespect for decency it’s going to take them at rock bottom to seek God. I think it’s harder for people that were raised in church and knowing God to understand the actions of those that turn away from God. It’s incredibly sad.
No problem with me. I am one super-comfy frog.
Well, I'm not saying it bothers me. I'm saying it surprises me. And, I think we can do better.
Me, too! 🐸💚
👉🏻 2 Timothy 1:7: For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Amen! 🙌
I was thinking, what if suicide weekend involved the people that suddenly realized they were fighting for the wrong side all along, that would almost be funny.
Spot silver 51.03.
About exactly were we were yesterday. They short it down and it bounces back up.
Edit. 52.06 this morning.
While cruising my city’s sub reddit I’m seeing reports of ICE in the area. Of course everyone is freaking out. Anyway there is this common talking point about, well they aren’t just arresting illegals they’re arresting all minorities. These people seem to actually believe that if your Mexican and or dark skin you’re getting arrested.
Does anyone know where this came from ? I imagine it’s possible someone could be in the wrong place wrong time. But I personally don’t believe there are just mass arrests of legal citizens. Anyone know how to respond to this nonsense ?
Side note im finding it a little humorous that moms are traveling to low income areas and basically camping out at bus stops where they think ICE might come steal kids??? even if true what would these moms do??? They think dudes will be like…. Boss, we for one angry looking moms out there. What? How many??? Ugh at least like 12. … oh shit call off the operation. I just can’t….
Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.
Psalm 31:24
Amen!

That was beautiful!
That was very interesting to watch and listen to
Silurian Horseshoe Crab BY FRANK SHERWIN, D.SC. (HON.) * | THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2025 https://www.icr.org/article/silurian-horseshoe-crab/
Supposedly, throughout the past hypothetical millions of years, sub-human primates became man, dinosaurs evolved into birds, and a group of mammals even returned to the oceans to become whales. But also according to evolution theory, the amazing horseshoe crab (order Xiphosura) “goes back practically unchanged to the Triassic period.”1 Natural selection2 and random mutations have not affected these chelicerates at all.3 This is hardly surprising to creation scientists because the Bible indicates that horseshoe crabs have always been horseshoe crabs since their creation thousands of years ago—that’s why the fossils match the living creatures.
Horseshoe crabs are arthropods, but they are not true crabs (crustaceans). They are instead classified as chelicerates belonging to the family Limulidae. Although horseshoe crabs are an alleged ancient lineage with an evolutionary history stretching back almost a half-billion years (Ordovician period), evolutionists generally consider them to be examples of living fossils.4 In fact, evolutionist James Lamsdell said, “The group [Xiphosura] is famous as an example of an evolutionary conservative lineage [i.e., no change] and is considered to comprise archetypal [standard] ‘living fossils.’”5
Recently, science writer Sergio Prostak stated,
A paleontologist from West Virginia University has described a new genus and species of true horseshoe crab from a Silurian-age specimen unearthed in Indiana, the United States. The species bridges the 80-million-year gap in the horseshoe crab fossil record and has an overall morphology similar to that of the Ordovician species.6
But this supposed 80-million-year gap does not exist except in the mind of the evolutionist. There’s no evidence for such missing time. It was a 100% horseshoe crab extracted from Genesis Flood sediments. As ICR’s Jeff Tomkins states,
While evolutionists have no good explanation why such creatures [such as horseshoe crabs] would abruptly appear hundreds of millions of years ago and then disappear for millions of years only to reappear and now be happily alive, a biblical Flood-based interpretation perfectly explains the data. Creationists know from both the rock record and the Scriptures that the Genesis Flood was a progressive year-long global event. The succession of fossils in the rock strata largely represents the progressive burial of ecological zones [such as the “Silurian-age” specimen of horseshoe crab] characterized by the plants and animals they contained.”7
But despite this better alternative explanation for these living fossils, conventional scientists maintain that this single horseshoe crab fossil—Ciurcalimulus discobolus—found in the Wabash Formation of sedimentary rock in Indiana is 424 million years old.
The greatly inflated age is based on “finely laminated dark dolostones [a sedimentary carbonate rock] and is considered to be Silurian in age based on conodont [extinct marine jawless vertebrates] data [emphasis added].”6 In other words, the sedimentary strata that Ciurcalimulus was found in also had conodonts—index fossils of the Silurian (i.e. the Kokomo Member of the Wabash Formation).
An index fossil, or zonal fossil, is the fossilized remains of a creature that is found in a particular unit of sedimentary rock and is used by evolutionists to correlate and date the age of rock layers. So Ciurcalimulus is dated by strata it was found in and the same sedimentary strata is dated to be Silurian because the conodonts were found there, which were themselves dated by other index fossils or uncertain radiometric dating. Clearly, it’s not exactly a precise dating system.
The minor change seen in these creatures from the Ordovician to the Late Devonian is just that, variation within the created kind such as what we also see in dandelions (over 250 species), dinosaurs, or dogs. There is no real horseshoe crab evolution documented in the sedimentary rocks. Nor are they definitively millions of years old. To conclude, “The origins and early evolution of horseshoe crabs are poorly known.”6 When fossil horseshoe crabs are found, they only vary within the kind as predicted by the creation model.8 Horseshoe crabs have always been horseshoe crabs since the beginning of creation.

They pushed a weak, sanitized Epstein dump to run a wrap-up smear, buy time, freeze the first impression against Trump, distract from the real sealed evidence, muddy the water, and create plausible deniability before the grand jury material hits.
Hmmm did it take the House And the Senate because there is an active investigation? Not sure the law on that but just had that thought
