Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

This is a rather standard left-wing playbook by now: make up fake "threats", and then use it as an excuse why the First Amendment needs to be curtailed.

A large fraction of America isn't buying or accepting it anymore.

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

Again, I don't think the title is accurate. "Mennonite girl, 3", simply is not accurate, unless you're using "Mennonite" purely as some kind of ethnic marker. Which is something I strongly disagree with. He got something wrong. So did you. I strongly disagree with you accusing J...

I've heard it's good for your marriage to go on dates regularly.

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

It's illegal for the defendant of a criminal case to intimidate witnesses, the jury and officers of the court, which is why there's a gag order. Is that really what is going on? I perceive it as suppression of political speech. Trump isn't "intimidating" anyone. And the witnesses seem qui...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

Unless headlines should start saying "Girl, 3, swept over waterfalls whose parents are ex-Baptists" - something nobody ever does. I know you don't like it when people accuse you of lying, but you surely do take a lot of liberties with the truth. It took me only seconds to find headlines l...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?

And prayer and fasting on behalf of those addicted is very much involved. I believe we would see more results if the focus was more on prayer and fasting on behalf of those addicted and a belief that God can deliver us from any and all sins and their effects. I used to be part of a small group wher...

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

That's because many people (correctly) perceive these trials as being biased, unfair, and basically political show trials. Americans don't like that. Have you been paying any attention to the current trial? Most any other person, after violating their conditions of release in other criminal trials,...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

If the family is ex-Mennonite, though, there's no need to add "Mennonite" to the title. It would be better to just say "Girl, 3, swept over waterfalls, 2 years ago, parents now charged". Unless headlines should start saying "Girl, 3, swept over waterfalls whose parents are e...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

In that case, it would be more accurate to change this thread's title to "Worldly, non-Mennonite girl, 3, swept over waterfalls, 2 years ago, parents now charged". oh, so you know these people? Based on what mike said, that the family is ex-Mennonite. It just means it would make for a muc...
