  1. Seems to me you're the one pushing 'racial issues'. What do you think of the New York stop and frisk numbers? The points were hers not mine. I do not know about the NY numbers.

  2. And a YouTube video!!! Put that together and the evidence is stronger than the bible. The Conservative PAC apparently believed she had something to say.

  3. I am saying that I was raised to believe that marriage was heterosexual. 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.
  4. Is it not a common practice for law enforcement agencies to sell other types of seized properties such as cars, boats, houses, etc? Don't those funds typically return to the agency? I am genuinely curious about this topic. 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. She claims to have evidence to support her accusations. Do you have verifiable evidence that disproves her claims? 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. I was born an alcoholic. I need alcohol to have a good time. Eventually, I realized that was a poor behavior choice and created problems in my health, my interpersonal relationships, my employment and my place in society. Any behavior choice, regardless of the origin, that creates a problem in one or more of those categories requires examination for mature development. The I was born that way position is denial and certain to exacerbate the problem to some degree. I don't have as much fun as I used to but I know it is a better life choice because I have less problems. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  8. Fornication is an option and therefore a choice. I'm not talking about 'fornication'... I'm talking about real, genuine, born that way homosexuals. You're mincing my words. Some people choose to fuck anything that's warm... yeah that is a choice but we weren't talking choices. Chuck I am focusing on accepting personal responsibility for personal choices. That is the crux of the whole discussion point. People need to learn the bases for the choices that they make. To say I can't help it is the ultimate cop out. When applied to sexual behavior, the I can't help it argument opens the door for every form of perversion. There is some guy in north FL that has been arrested twice that I know of for screwing his horse. He claims he can't help it. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  9. I stand with the majority of my family and friends against those religions that accept gay recognition in any form. I also realize that it don't mean nothing. Several members of my family do not agree with me. We talk about other subjects. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  10. So if gay men are in a committed relationship and don't have sex they are heterosexual? You should be actively advocating for gay marriage then! We all know that marriage ends sex. Good point! I do not like the politically incorrect use of the term marriage for homosexuals. It is a religious term for the joining of a man and a woman. The joining of two gays cannot be a marriage. I'm OK with civil union. 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. Before he was put to death by injection, Wilson made a final statement in which he said, "Ya'll do understand that I came here a sinner and leaving a saint. Take me home, Jesus, take me home, Lord." And with that testimonial declaration, he had nothing to fear as he "slipped the surly bonds of earth...."

  13. No, he said "puzzling" and that was my reference. We all have choices for everything we 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. My first reaction to the letter was, this may not be real. However, whether real or not, never disown a member of your family. We have two known gay members in our family. They are welcome at reunions the same as everybody. I still believe that it is sad and, like winsor, puzzling, that someone would choose that path to satisfy a passion.

  16. Root cause: Fallen man; Sin Ridiculous. Galatians 5: 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. It is a starting place or root cause in my understanding. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  18. I think it is a cultural trait. Several of their type behave similarly. 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. To himself? Most likely Just because there is no way for many of us to understand what would drive someone to do this (which is a good thing) does not make him crazy Evil would be a better term IMO In either case, all we can do is guess and hope we never do understand the thought process he had I had to laugh at your last statement. If you posed that question in a closed AA meeting, meaning regular members, you would probably get several detailed explanations of that thought process. Maybe it was as simple as a method for a government sponsored retirement plan. You know food, shelter, clothing and medical care for life since he lost his ARMY retirement. I am not sure what you mean But let me explain a bit further When my boys were young, and a story of a mother killing her baby, or a dad hurting a child or some other story, (such as the mass killings) they would ask me, dad, how could anybody do that? I would tell them I do not know. I can not understand just as you can not understand. But know, that not understanding the actions these people took is a good thing Because, if you can not understand it, the chances of you ever doing something similar is almost nil. I apologize. You are making a serious comment and I am just being a smart ass. Recovering alcoholics frequently share in meetings, at least the ones I have attended, that they would like to kill someone who has pissed them off. It is called venting. The latter part is my cynical nature. The various departments of corrections are closed societies where all of your needs are met by taxpayers.

  21. Would that make him a holy ghost writer? Those that know Christ know that Christ knows them. II Timothy 3: 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. I realize this means nothing to you. However, a lurker may benefit. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  22. I'm OK with that. I consider myself an adopted Jew. Only the politically correct folks over here get testy over such things. I met a man the other day from Miami, FL. His mother was of Chinese heritage. He referred to her as Chinese. I had a client whose parents were from Laos. He said he was Laotian. Yesterday my granddaughter was tracing my heritage on Ancestry.com and my original suspicions were confirmed. I am German and Holland Dutch. The posters in SC seem to be the greatest critics of terminology. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  23. True enough, they came from the Hindu. It is more correct to say they are Indian, I suppose. "Sikhism is comparatively a new religion in India. This religion was established by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Nanak ji was born into a Hindu family in 1469 in the Punjab region.

  24. With no details about the shooter(s) available, I remember after 911 and all the Sikhs that got beat up and some even killed by the abundant numbers of ignorant we seem to have. The ongoing campaign to vilify American-Muslims by some of our highest elected officials does not help. This may be common knowledge here but, Sikhs are not Muslim, they are Hindu. The ones I knew back in the early 70's considered themselves warrior class and practiced Kundalini Yoga. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
