Maybe I should say that I'm on my best behavior -- I've intentionally avoided posting about politics.

that's what my unformed opinion at this point in the experiment says.
ban politics altogether.

I do not think it is the subforum, but the lack of control and communication skills of some. It will pop up again in other areas.

As stated above, I think current events will just become the place for it if we removed Politics.

I know what you mean -- I posted about teaching because I didn't think I was going to get lectured about the evils of "government schools" and CRT and nonsense like that.

I am still here to call all things government evil.

I know I can count on you.

You calling me a sheep?

You calling me a sheep?

No, just a contrarian, anti-government, grumpy old fogie.

I don’t believe in calling people sheep or sheeple.

We have finally found a point to agree one. Miracles do happen.

I would think I’ve gotten to know you a little after 10+ years arguing with you.

"All we like sheep have gone astray...."

Somebody had to quote it.

I always found it interesting that Jesus refers to believes as “sheep” in his parable. It’s not exactly a complement.

Maybe because as a whole without the Shepherd we quickly follow paths that lead us to destruction. We are easily led astray by this and that 'philosophy' or way of looking at scripture, or a very charismatic or other leader. Indeed we are sheep and without our Shepherd are lost and headed for destruction. Sheep apparently are hopeless without a good shepherd, we are hopeless without our Shepherd.
Jesus was being honest- may not be a complement but then......

I’d rather be a sheep then a goat. Goats are clever, escape artists, generally trouble. They tend to be more aggressive and irritable too.
