  1. To me it just all goes along with the Saul Alinski Style politics that the democrats have brought to the nation. The ends justify the means. Anything for power. What I can't seem to get through my thick skull is why educated middle class and upper middle class folks support this ideology. They have little to no chance in sharing the power and yet they buy in. We find them all over the postings in SC. It just blows my mind. Where is their pay off?

  2. So if you have a bowel movement it feels hilarious? Other than that you don't come across as a walking laugh riot. I tend to give it as I get it. Furthermore, SC does not encourage humor.

  3. I was employed by the SA for a short time as a counselor in their alcohol adult male rehabilitation unit. There was a mandatory short Bible study prior to serving the evening meal. That was in 1983 and things may have changed by now. I don't think they were receiving federal funding then. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  4. One of the attributes of being a conservative Christian is that I recognize humor in all forms of sensory input. 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.
  5. I heard something intriguing this morning. If the LBGT community and their sympathizers are going to cease eating at Chick-fil-A because of the owner's beliefs, are they going to stop buying gasoline because the OPEC countries execute homosexuals?

  6. Amen! +1 It seems to be clear to many except the engineering types that post here. That is a puzzle to me. 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.
  7. Maybe so but, mine is based on experience and not the classroom or the main stream media. 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.
  8. They are the clients of the social service programs both federally funded and NGO that represent the membership in the homeless coalitions. They are baby mommas and aunties of clients in the substance use disorder programs. That is where I worked and before that where I lived. You fortunate, educated middle class and upper middle class folks have no idea how the welfare class thinks and functions. They are not stupid. These people were born into the system two or more generations ago. They know how to manipulate and use the system. On the other side of the coin, this dysfunctional system is largely maintained by the professionals that run the programs. The whole game is about acquiring and maintaining funding. Salaries are determined by management's ability to get funding. Client successes are reported as a subterfuge of statistics and report creativity. You and kallend are sheltered from the truth and your liberal attitudes just make you feel guilty. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  9. I have been fortunate in life. I've also chosen not to be a drug addict, or associate with low lifes. I'm sure there are some people who game the system, but to imply that everyone who uses government assistance believes that the government should provide them with everything on demand is disingenous. To assume those people who do believe the government should meet their every need are in the minority is naive. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  10. Nobody actually believes that. It's just a boogeyman that makes it easier for you to demonize everyone you don't agree with. I spent the last 15 years or so working with people that believed it. I lived in the counter culture from 1976-81 with people that believed it. So I say you are flat out wrong. Apparently, you have been fortunate in life and never had to associate with the welfare people. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  11. Because I'm an American and it's in the Constitution that the govt is supposed to look out for my welfare. Besides, sex makes me happy and I have a Costitutional right to pursue happiness. Haven't you read the Constitution? It's in there, you know. I know you meant the above comment as a joke. Sadly, that is the attitude so many Americans have these days. The entitlement mentality that demands free and abundant sex with whatever and whomever desired at the moment, without consequence. Along with the absolution of personal responsibility for food, shelter and clothing. The government should give me what I want, when I want it and I want it now. That is the belief of the decadent citizenry. 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.
  12. How would you prevent sex slavery, and ensure that prostitute are only voluntary participants? That's the big problem, not the morality aspects. Sex slavery exists now, with prostitution being illegal. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  13. Why do you have a right to sex when others do not? 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.
  14. Yes, I do. 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.
  15. Ya, and that sucks as far as entertainment goes in the SC... ...but I've agreed to be legit and not be a contentious asshole...it's gonna be hard, but it's a step in maturity that I have to take...Goddamn sin! You realize that is like praying for patience, God will give you tribulation. Trying to be positive and mature will have the heathens coming out to hunt you down.

  16. So, you want to be a Progressive Democrat?

  17. Certainly not by getting an unearned inheritance. It sounds to me like you are jealous because you didn't get one and you know some who did. The terms envy and convetousness come to mind.

  18. Why? it is two parts of one fable. It is ALL supposedly the word of god as relayed by third parties. Matt Yeah, it is just to much to ask. You have it all figured out. There is nothing else to learn or understand. OK. 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. I know it is too much to ask but, would you guys make some attempt to discern the difference in scope, meaning and direction of the NT versus the OT?

  20. That's what the wealthy would of course say. Just like they say 'trickle down' works. The best course of action for America is to promote wealth through personal initiative, hard work and sound management and to demote intellectual elitism dependent on the government. IMO of course.

  21. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_stop-and-frisk_program Well 20% or approximately 136,800 were criminals. The program is supported by private property owners. It seems like viable and positive tactic. 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. Sounds like communist drivel to me. 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. You actually triggered some new thought processes for me on this subject with your last reply; thank you. I spent the better part of two hours this morning on my motorcycle contemplating an essay to write offline and then post here. I am trying to reach a compromise between what I believe and the reality of social mores. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  24. And she had lots to say. The question is if there is any truth to it. I report, you decide. 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.
