Again, expressed My Humble Opinion, I have questions......sm
Where did I try to shut anyone up???? I have tried to post on both sides of the fence, my personal opinions, when I agree with the right I post that way, when I believe in the left or the middle, I post that way. I have no uneasy feelings at all, sorry to disapppoint you, I believe in what I said, I sometimes think that arguments get so personal and heated on this board because it gets too personal, personal attacks, and many times the insults have religious labels attached to them. THAT is what makes me uneasy because I personally do not believe that religion should be used in that way....the Zealots tried to make Jesus into a political figure and crown him king, but He steadfastly maintained that His kingdom was not of this world, but the next, that He came in Fulfillment of prophecy, not to tear down establishment. I am only saying, if religion is at the heart of an argument,then it perhaps goes beyond being political and becomes about a spiritual philosophy, and there is a board here dedicated to that. I agreed with what BB was saying in this instance, added my opinion, and that IS my right, also, since you are so concerned with rights. I cannot be "force-fed" because my soul is filled with deeply embedded, eternally strong beliefs, so I get no uneasy fealling whatsoever. Okay, back to work.
Tell ya what. When I need your sympathy
Until then, save it for yourself.
Still trying to conjure up that sympathy
If you truly had a grasp of the disparities in wealth distribution in this country, how it concentrates 35% of ALL national wealth in the hands of less than 1%, 71% in the top 10% and leaves 1% in the hands of the bottom 40% of wage earners (individuals earning less than $51,253 annually....not welfare deadbeats), how it translates into ever diminishing or, in a best case scenario, stagnant wages, you would not be beating this dead horse. Do yu not understand just how angry and just how tired middle class people in this country really are?
This has NOTHING to do with whether you have sympathy for smokers or not.
There's a much more fundamental principle involved here.
Normally I would have sympathy for these people...(sm)
however, these people are also among those who thought it was okay to take away rights from the LGBT community. I say if you're willing to dish it out, then you might want to be prepared to take it.
Poor little christians. You want to preserve the right to preach and teach and have gatherings to promote your philosophy, but when it comes to someone else's rights it's different.
I've said this I don't know how many times. If christians don't want govt in their business, then they need to get out of the business of govt.
I read their posts with a little bit of humor and a whole lot of sympathy.
Humor because of the ridiculousness of it all, and sympathy because of the ridiculousness of it all!!
