I don't know what your life is like. It is a question only you can answer. For me it was being homeless, strung out and no peace of mind. If you have no unsolvable problems you are presenting yourself as the smartest, richest, most powerful person on the planet. Or, you are just a young man that has not ventured very far from safety.

Wow...Jay, Ron...Look It's happening! Not that I'm suprised... If only we could agree on one world religion, one world government, then we would have peace and harmony. If it ever happens, I would give it about 3.5 years to completely crumble into chaos, misery and war. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

. Speaking of the cross, and how you see it everywhere. Now don't you think, if Jesus came back, that's the last thing he would want to see? Why? It is the symbol of His victory over physical death.

You've missed the point. It is not a question of having faith to believe in God. It is that God gives us faith to deal with the unsolvable problems in life.

Sorry for asking. I forgot for a moment that "explained" means something very different to you than it does to me. Don 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.

Really? I thought the entirety of the Old Testament was about the Jewish faith. On the other hand, I can't recall a single verse that "clearly explains" the Hindu faith, or Buddism, to mention just two major religions that were in practice as the New Testament was being written. Can you give some examples of where the Bible clearly explains those religions? Don John 3:16 Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Versus locking them away when they haven't done anything wrong? Locked away is locked away. If they'd done something bad and being locked away is the known penalty then by all means. But locking them away for money versus locking them away for prophylaxis? I'm black and white because either way is locked away. Next step, bill - when would you let them out. Then, when would you restore their rights? And note - much of my problem was that it was suggested that they lose rights on suspicion of being weird. Of stigma attaching. [Reply]and placed them under supervised medical care? Then good job, government. What about the nutters who haven't been so found? Take the guy who shot Giffords. None of what you are suggesting would have prevented it. Which is where I'm going. And again - when treatment is successful, then what? Medical care is to treat a medical problem. Once the medical problem is treated, then let them out and restore their rights fully. Think of it like a broken leg - once treated and healed then good to go. What are your thoughts on it? Butting in: One of the problems is definition. There is a legal definition of mentally ill and there is diagnostic definition of mentally ill. Make certain you are on the same page with your opponent. As an anecdote, I am always mindful of the years I spent in Taos, NM, Jul 76 - Jan 81. We often referred to the tri-ethnic community as an open ward mental institution wherein 80 % of the people were driving around high on something 80% of the time. And, they all had guns. I saw a bar fight break out and the aggressor tossed his pistol to the bartender before he beat the crap out of the other guy. The only gun shot victims I was aware of were suicides, two or three. I was only shot at once and, they were just three warning shots. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

My wife is Spanish and her parents came from Cuba. She says there is a reasonable assumption that Rubio's parents explained their immigration that way to him. It was a common practice and he was born in the U.S.A. Therefore, he may never have questioned what his parents told him. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

I have had suspicious thoughts that DHS has access to this and other Dropzone.com forums. I wonder if we should openly discuss such matters. "In one hand I've got the Bible, In the other I got a gun.

I base my belief on experience. The first occurrence 16 Mar 81, I was lost and now I am saved. The Jewish faith is the one that puzzles me the most.

Yep, kill it, clean it and cook it. I would make certain I had a good recipe first though. Consider it survival training. When the time comes you will have had the experience.

...sorry, that was unexpected...made me laugh. Apparently you were the only one who saw the humor. I telly ya', people here in FL are total wusses when it comes to a temperature drop. We had a PGR mission yesterday with temps in the low to mid 60's. Some of the guys were wearing multilayers with leather chaps. Sheesh! Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

It is a difference in training and professional acumen. You are an attorney and I am a mental health/substance use disorder counselor. The emotionally disturbed drug dependent person does not make rational decisions regarding the law. They make rational decisions regarding their disease. Thus proving my point, there are many realities with many systems of rationality. You live in one world and I live in another. I don't know your specialty but, I would guess that we share a common value. Namely, help people live a socially acceptable lifestyle. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

This is incoherent nonsense. A "decision" cannot be both "universal and unique to the thinker" at the same time. The definition of rationality is most certainly not being able to justify one's position to one's self. Your third statement is simply bizzare and makes you sound mentally unbalanced. Let me see if I can clarify my hastily jotted note. 1. Decisions are universally rational to the individual. They are unique to the individual. Crazy people believe they making the right decisions. We have to try to teach them to think through to the consequence of their decision. 2. Rational thought is the process of the mind regardless of the outcome. That is to say, an individual perceives event A, thinks plan B and performs action C. Example, Joe hears baby cry, he plans to quiet baby, he picks baby up and 1) comforts baby in his arms or, 2) throws baby to the ground. Both outcomes are rational in Joe's mind. 3. There are many realities. Each human being has a unique reality because it is impossible for everyone to be in the same space at the same time with the same level of intellect, education and consciousness.
