Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist

I would start with the premise that we have an institutional form of government, not an autocratic form of government. That is what the Constitution is all about. The founding fathers already decided this almost 250 years ago. And I think they got it right. Much of purpose of the Constitution in the...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?

Nice whataboutism there. Either lying is a measure of fitness for president or it isn't. Which is it? This thread isn’t “Is Trump fit to be President?”, although I think it would be fine if you started such a thread. Everything is relative. If we are going to propose some measure of "fitness&q...

Re: Do you agree with this statement? Part 3

I disagree. One of the things that I've learned from 25 years of married life, is that love often doesn't need action. Sometimes it just means being there and nothing else. Often my wife tells me things, not because she wants me to "fix" them or do anything. But simply because she wants me...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?

I've hit a point where I don't think enabling an addiction is doing good at all. That's why I like working with places that have rather strict rules, so I know the help will actually be helping. The places and programs that I try to get people to go to are actually quite strict, and have rules, whi...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?

Biden lied when he wasn’t in cognitive decline, but has a rich history in telling whoppers. Cheated in law school. Lied about his grades. Lied about his GPA. Lied about his scholarships. Lied about being at Ground Zero on 911. Lied about witnessing the collapse of a Pittsburg bridge. Lied about bei...

It probably starved to death. Or was poisoned. Couldn’t have. He isn’t vaccinated. :mrgreen: Maybe it's this: RFK Jr. Says he ONLY drinks raw milk: :mrgreen: https://www.realmilk.com/#:~:text=Robert%20F.%20Kennedy%2C%20Jr.,he%20drinks%20only%20raw%20milk!&text=Raw%20Milk%20is%20Healthy!

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?

I am just getting involved again and attending the Salvation Army and one of their leaders mentioned to me yesterday that none, yes zero, of the people that come for help on a weekly basis, and there are many, show up for the church services on Sunday. This is interesting and I want to explore this...

Re: Preach it Bro !

and where fleeing civilization and "homesteading" become spiritual callings. could you please enlarge on this? The Millennialism and Dispensationalism of today are reactions to the collapse of Post millennialism, at least in the US context. After the Civil war, theology that put the Union...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

When I went back to visit last summer, it did strike me how much fatter Texans are than Washingtonians. It is noticeable when you are out in public. At least it was in Waco. Fun fact: people in Arkansas or Alabama (can't remember which) used to be the most obese in the nation in the 1990s. But that...
