A question
The name calling and stupid insults are a significant reason for the stark decline of our country.
Racist, whatever-phobe, anti-semite, all contributions to decline. We are being taught to hate, and freely accept to seem virtuous.
Pathetic that a country other than America is held blameless, with the threat of cancellation.
Christianity comes from Judaism. How is this warm/fuzzy/manipulative or guilty of virtue signaling? It’s just a fact. You can always use a term to deliberately manipulate people, but “Judeo-Christian” is not inherently meant to do that. It’s no more nonsensical than is Greco-Roman, at least not to me.
“Just for example, is it OK to be white? Will you say so?”
“Why should I say it? If I don’t say it, why would you assume I don’t think it?”
Pretend if you want. You do not have the balls to say white people are OK.
IOW, a simple statement of fact challenges you. Why is that?
I love my country. I HATE its government.
“What loyalties do you have? Are they wavering?”
Can you see how you are switching, and not addressing?
Prior to radio, television, movies, cable, streaming, the internet, telephones, cell phone, there were phamphlets, posters, newspapers, town criers, letters,whispering campaigns, and face to face nastiness of ALL kinds!
Jefferson and Adams had a decades long feud and Jefferson was one of THE nastiest, vile, underhanded name caller and propaganda spread on American has EVER seen!
American WASPS weren't all that keen on the Germans here, nor were colonists and early Americans great re the Indians; though for many with good reason.
The North V. the South? That's also as old as the hills.
And with each wave of newcommers, name calling, terrible cartoons in newspapers, and yes, attacks were here too. As was political corruption!
Racism too!
Ditto religious bigotry; even within Protestant sects against each other!
And during WW I, there was rabid bigotry against certain Americans ONLY due to their last names and boycotts of their businesses, though these American citizens had been AMERICANS and professed NO allegiance to any other other nation!
1 Timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils
I feel as though my country has been hijacked as well as a large chunk of Christianity in this country.
Earlier in the year, Christians in the Holy land were giving warnings as to what was going on.
—> Islam is more “Judeo” than Christianity.
Disagree entirely.
American WASPS didn’t treat the Irish well either. at least here in MA .

There has ALWAYS been name calling and some group against another since Colonial days, in America.
And prior to Europeans coming here, the tribal wars and slavery, were brutal!
From time immemorial, all over the world, people have picked on each other, called names, and engaged in wars and slavery, for one reason or another. EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE has always been a "victim" of others. There is NOTHING "new" about any of this.
Peace and harmony, OTOH, is what has ALWAYS been rare.
Bye bye, stormtrooper.
Why should it matter do you? Does it make you uncomfortable?
Why would you think that? Can't you answer my question?
Heshe’s dead, Jim. :-)
I hope that it is not just a "time out", but for good and all!
Aw poop. He’s gone. I made a game outta him. He’d as a zillion questions so I’d answer his questions with more questions. It was quite fun!
Why would they zot him? Can’t they see I had a thousand more questions to ask him?
WHY?
Because he couldn't refute me, nor play against what I posted.
>> I hope that it is not just a “time out”, but for good and all!
You & me both. Heshe is evil.
>> He’d as a zillion questions so I’d answer his questions with more questions. It was quite fun!
I was enjoying watching your game. Nothing lasts forever I guess.
