The you don’t get to watch it.

Why not just share where? I checked the site out, and unless I want to spend all night reading it your link is useless.

I guess we are moving a bit fast. This wasn’t supposed to happen for another 500 years.
Key verse is the year 5555.

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, and say
Is in the pill you took today

In the year 4545
Ain’t gonna need your teeth, won’t need your eyes
You won’t find a thing to chew
Nobody’s gonna look at you

In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you

In the year 6565
Ain’t gonna need no husband, won’t need no wife
You’ll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube’ Whoooa

In the year 7510
If God’s a-comin’ he ought to make it by then
Maybe he’ll look around himself and say
Guess it’s time for the Judgement day

In the year 8510
God is gonna shake his mighty head then
He’ll either say I’m pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again

In the year 9595
I’m kinda wondering if man is gonna be alive
He’s taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain’t put back nothing

Now it’s been 10, 000 years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man’s reign is through
But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it’s only yesterday

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may thrive

In the year 3535
Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do or say
Is in the pill you took today....(fading...)

Too funny

And yet Gene Simmons is Jewish.

Notice they had to add their obligatory stab at blaming Climate Change, while adding the extra people in the backcountry.

Fact is, the avalanche problem is no different today than it was 40 years ago.

The problem is more people skiing and snowboarding there they never used to. Plus these newcomers take more risks than in the old days. Just look at the videos they put on Youtube about the extreme risks they take.

Yet, it’s not them, but Climate Change.

Yet we are to believe it’s because to climate change.

Amen Bob

God bless everyone on this great day.

Epson ET-4800
It uses tanks for ink that you can refill at a fraction of the cost of the old inkjet, and they last a long time. Plus the pictures when printed out are as good as gold.
Purchased one two years ago, and have not complained one time. I liked it too much I purchased 2 for my Bangladesh ministry

Christ couldn't just die. He had to die the death of a sinner. Lowly, accursed, and lifted up on a pole. He was an image many found repulsive, like that bronze snake 1600 years earlier. Marred more than any man,

....... So His visage was marred more than any man, And His form more than the sons of men; (Isaiah 52:14)

He could have come down and said, "Not today!" But he stayed. He died a death of pain and shame for sins he never committed. Sacrificed from the beginning of time, for sins He saw us commit, yet turned His eyes every time we did.

So, every time you are tempted by sin, try to remember how The King of Kings, The Lord of Lords was so violently lifted on a pole for you and me. Take a moment and look up at that Cross, and do not allow your head to turn away, or you very well may find yourself giving in to the temptation of sin. If you find yourself stumbling into sin then take a moment and pray to the One who stayed upon that cross for you to take away your shame of sin.

His arms are outstretched and waiting for you, all it takes is for you to look up willingly and accept His Father’s gift to you. Then you can lift Him up with Praise, because HE was lifted up to become all the sins we are guilty of.

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.  (2 Corinthians 5:21)

I often times thought of facing the devil in my mind when confronted by past incidents that are there.

IO have had many times in my life that I can honestly say I know they are the evidences GOD exists and Jesus loves me.

Maybe one of my first instances of having something seared in my head was from my father. I believe I shared how evil he was.

Well, I grew up in Duluth MN, and they have the famous Ariel Head Lift Bridge.

Well back in the early 60’s you could actually ride it up and watch the ships go under it. Well my father took me up with him once. Not sure how old I was, because it was quite some time before he went to prison, which means I was maybe 5 or 6 at the most.

He took me by my hands and held me over the railing as the ship passed through.

To this day I have a fear of heights. Through the years I have tried everything I could to get over it. Even jumped off bridges in the water, but each time it took me not wanting to be looking like a foolish scared chicken.

Once When stationed in Germany out unit went down the Rhine river in rafts. When we went through Spire Germany (sp?) we were told we all had to jump off the bridge into the Rhine. Its was about 40 feet or so.

I remember standing on the outside of the bridge holding the railing. Other guys kept climbing out and jumping while I held that railing tight. Then my Captain said, Private I want you to let go, count to three and jump or else.

So I let go, counted to three, and he pushed me off. Everyone was laughing their guts out. I was trembling the rest of the day.

No matter what I did I could never get over my fear of heights. I turned down Ranger training because I could not do the parachute training, nor walk across a 10X10 plank that was 15 feet in the air.

Today I work as a handyman, and sometimes I must climb a ladder to the peak of a roof to paint, and I move so slow and reach so gingerly as I don’t want to look down, and the fear is there, but I still too it, but never get over it.

To this day I have a righteous angry hatred for my father. Not just because of that, but many other reasons he did to me and my siblings. the things he did to my sister should have had him in prison for life, but all he got was 7 years.

He was an evil man.

I don’t believe on word of the accusation.

It was a smear and one reported by the same NY Times, that defended Hitler as a great leader while he was busy murdering Jews and anyone who didn’t fall in line during the 30’s and through out WWII.

I agree, thus PTSD is real. Never knew this before, but a few Months ago I watched a video on Audi Murphy, one of my all time real life heroes. Seems as much as he seemed to hold things together for the public eye, he suffered from PTSD. Each marriage he had suffered due to his inability to sleep. It ruined his marriages, due to his inability to get past the trauma.

Go figure, one of the top 5 greatest war heroes of American history, suffered for his braveness and ability to think logically under the stress of war. Yet once the war was over, he relived the horror in his head time and time again.

Back in mid 1975, I was still 17, and was traveling through a small Southern GA town Abeville GA. I was stationed at Ft Benning GA. We gave a black friend a ride home for his leave and vacation. We were drinking and smoking pot.

On our way back from dropping him off, it was like 2:00 in the morning and as we drove through the town, a police car stopped us. Seems like Mike, the drive, went through a stop sign. We got stopped and arrested for the alcohol and drugs.

I was young and naive, and Mike was like 22. He convinced me to say the pot was mine because he was like one strike away from getting dishonorable discharged. Well I did, and the next morning he was allowed to go back to the Base. Yet was held under a $10,000 bond. I had no money to pay the bond, and Mike promised to get the money to bail me out. I spent almost a Month in that damn small jail, as I waited for him to help. Evewntually I got ahold of my family and they sent me the $1000 I needed for the 10% bond.

One night is still etched in my mind, and from time to time I find myself waking up in a sweat. It was late, I figure around the time bars close. Just guessing since there was no clock for me to see. Yet I woke up to someone screaming and bunch of people yelling. I rolled over on the bunk and saw 5 white deputies beating a black guy who looked tore well over 6" and made like 250 pounds or more. They were beating him senseless with their clubs and kicking him as he tried to defend himself to no avail.

I stood up and yelled at them to stop because they don't have the right to too that. Then one of the deputies came over to my cage. (I was in a metal cage in the middle of a a big room) The deputy started running his billy club from side to side against the bars yelling at me that I better forget what I see. I remember his words exactly.

"Boy, you better STF up and forget what you see, or you will never leave this county alive. Now why don't you just settle down and go back to sleep Yankee, or we will de the same to you."

I remember being so afraid as I heard them continually beating him. I started crying and just remember waking up hours later when the Sherif showed up with my breakfast. Usually he would get me something from McDonalds or some other fast food place. But that morning I got one of the best home made meals cooked by his wife. He told me his wife cooked it especially dually for me and that there would be more good meals coming, as long as I just forget everything I saw or heard.

The black guy was not in the cage, and to this day I know he is dead. About a week later I got the money and was bailed out. When I got back to camp I told the Captain what happened, and he told me he would get someone to look into it, but it wasn't a military matter. Never heard anything more, and I never got a summons for court on the possession matter.

By the way, my Platon Sergeant is the one who came to get me when my bail money came. On the way out of town I showed him where we got stopped, and the stop sign was completely covered by a tree growing in from of it. There was no way Mike would have seen it at 2:00 in the morning.

I was also excused from being AWOL after my Captain heard what happened. It took me a long time to sleep without thinking of that poor black guy, and even today I wonder what they did to him. I could give more in depth details of that Month, including other blacks who were mistreated and railroaded but what I offer is enough to let you know the whole incident was traumatizing and still bothers me today almost 50 years later.

WHAT WAS HE TRIED FOR!!!!!!

Why is it so many Freepers fail to properly post.

What the hell did he do that he is facing 50 years in prison for. I do not want to go to the damn page with all their adds and tracking software. Just tell me what the stupid vegan did.

Great recollection. From experience, memories like that are locked in your memory bank for life. I am guessing that when you wrote your recollection, it was like it happened yesterday with the memory locked in.

About 7 years ago I wrote about a car accident my wife and I were in back in 1987 while we were still dating. We were in the back seat of a car that went off a 35 foot embankment. Driver dies, one girl destroyed her atm for life, my wife is still in a wheelchair from severing her spinal cord. I walked away, with some scratches and a cut head.

When I wrote my account many years later, it was like it happened yesterday in my head. I will never forget even the minute details. It was an incident that haunts me to this day.

Up until 2019 when we left the state, we lived in Chico CA for almost 40 years. It’s like 90 miles South of Redding in Shasta County. Next to Butte County, Shasta was still one of the relatively conservative counties in the State.

Five years later, I wonder if things changed.

Unless many Republicans agree, this will never be agreed to by the US.

It is a treaty that takes 2/3s of congress to approve

I agree with Eurydice.

this was uncalled for

He will still vote straight Democrat come November, and tell his audiance to do the same.

So I ask you, why does anyone still even listen to him???
