  1. I am not a reloader but, most of the time I find the best deal on ammo at Palmetto State Armory. Their shipping charges are usually the lowest. http://palmettostatearmory.com Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  3. Every thing in life is temporary. Time and space create change. The object is to learn how to see the end point, accept it and be comfortable with it. There are many counseling or therapy modalities to deal with emotion and achieve that goal. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  4. Infidel! The Profit Muhammad himself had to use stern discipline to keep all his wives in line. Otherwise they were given to playing with dolls, jumping rope, and engaging in all sorts of foolishness. Proud Infidel if you please! Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  7. On appropriate occasions, I was switched with switches I picked, a paddle I had made in shop class, my dad's hand and once with his belt. I believe in spanking because my parents and I were taught how to spank in elementary school. Also, we only had one set of parents. We all lived with our behaviors. Our family values and rules came from the Bible. It is not good now because we are not taught how to administer corporal punishment properly. Families are no longer stable and therefore consistency in corporal punishment cannot be be adequately established. The rules of parenting from the Bible are no longer universally taught. Nowadays with the breakdown of family values children have multiple sets of parents and parents are placed in charge of children they really do not want and do not like. Parents tend to use mood altering chemicals to cope with stress which inhibits learning and developing wisdom. These conditions produce a prescription for violence. The cycle of domestic violence is broken when fathers are taught nurturing concepts. A violent father will teach a violent son who will become a violent father. Nurturing concepts can be introduced and taught to fathers on the brink. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  8. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary situation. Who do you think makes that decision? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  9. Sad outcome for sure but, as a former crisis counselor I know there is only one person that can be held responsible for a suicide. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  10. As someone who has been in a similar situation all I can say is this. In the moment of crisis a split second decision is not always altruistic, efficacious or efficient.

  11. I caught a sound byte on the radio this morning that commented on a recent survey of Republicans, 21% believe socialism is an OK thing. As a country we are screwed.

  13. Romney vowed to put the country back to work if elected president. 48% of the people said, "Now we have real hope." 47% of the people said, "F*** that s***. 5% of the people went to the polls with their heads down suffering from guilt because they have a job and voted for BHO.

  14. Yes, if Republican it would no doubt have been with another man, or he'd have claimed he was out hiking. He is a Republican and those are not the facts. However, that is the main reason I stopped being a Republican several years ago. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  15. As it turned out, he would be a good candidate in the Democratic Party now. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  16. I really do think so, if you can do it. That line of thought cannot help anything, and only seems to make you more angry or fearful than you need to be. We can disagree about a lot of things, but I still wish you well, and I'd be honored to shake your hand should we happen to meet some day. Don Same here Don. We have finished the work on the house in the mountains and now have free time. It is a whole new lifestyle with new ministry opportunities. Maybe this summer I could take a bike ride to your area for a meetup at lunch. I'll phasing out here by the end of the year. I am going to concentrate on veterans, substance use disorder and/or domestic violence volunteer work. Have a blessed Christmas and a safe New Year.

  17. I have ceased caring. We are doomed. Lets just try to make a BASE jump off the fiscal cliff. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  18. You conveniently omitted the rest of my statement. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  19. Don't forget you also looked like a bunch of pussies to the generation before you. They also thought the world had gone to shit when women could vote and blacks could drink from a white person's water fountain. Those statements were not true in my growing up experience. I was born in 1942. My family held strong midwestern values. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  20. It depends a whole lot on what the degree is in. .... ...and also the age of the person. Age discrimination in employment, despite some progress, remains very pervasive. I always believed that was a major obstacle in my case. I was 52 YO when I returned to the social service agency arena. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  21. Good point. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  22. Here's a hint, Ron: no-one here wishes your demise, or the demise of anyone in our SC community. Everyone here (I assume) wishes that all of us will have a long, happy, productive life. We may disagree, sometimes strongly so, about the best way to achieve that, but the end goal is the same for all of us. Do you really believe that the fact that I believe that no-one should be denied life-saving medical care because they are at a point in their lives where they don't have the wealth to pay in full out of pocket somehow means that I want to kill you, as much as the 9/11 terrorists wanted to kill Americans? Do you have any idea how offensive your off-the-cuff remarks are? When you say that the country is more divided than ever, does it ever occur to you that equating disagreements about the best way to achieve a stable future for the country with "terrorism" is a major factor driving that division? Although I disagree with you on many things political and religious, it would never occur to me to assume that you want to kill me over those disagreements. Don I suppose it best if I drop this line of thought. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  23. And yet you start posts that are all about censoring ideas you don't agree with. Or, maybe you just can't explain yourself? I was curious if there was a logical way to reconcile freedom of speech with the idea that universities should only teach things that pass a conservative "truth test", but now you have pretty convinced me there is none. And you too, Ron. I don't know if you're in North Georgia or in Florida today, but it sure is a beautiful day in Georgia. Off to work now. Hope you have time to play today even if I don't. Don You took the higher road on that one. Good job. We are in FL now. No play scheduled but, not a lot of stress either. I hope you make it an easy day at work.

  24. That was a very good interview. When West states that we need to discuss issues and not participate in character attacks he understands. However, the Radical Left have demonstrated they are the masters in that arena. As you stated above, things will not change until we truly feel the pain of this administration. Case in point, kallend disparages your post because you tagged on your previous post. He did not listen to the interview. Another thread, jclalor dismisses Bill Whittle's speech on what Conservatives need to do and why Romney lost because at the beginning he gave recognition to Michelle Bachman. As with the terrorists, it is difficult to negotiate with someone who firmly believes in your demise. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  25. Well, perhaps, as long as you can still find people whose trade is flint knapping or hunting mammoths. BTW are you ever going to explain how you manage to reconcile "American patriotism" with your desire to censor opinions that differ from yours (as per the first post of this thread for one example)? It seems to me your postings scream contempt for the First Amendment, not to mention the ninth Commandment. Odd behavior from someone who claims to be a Patriot and a Christian, don't you think? Don Bless your heart, I know you try your best given your background and profession. I have no desire to censor anyone. It is just some folks, such as yourself, PMO so much that if I responded I would sound or read just like them. For me silence is generally the high road. Have a good day now, ya hear.
