Bless you for saying this so eloquently! It bears repeating. I love ya, Man! LOL
Neither of us knows what the past held. I’d suspect that he’d been abusing her for years and this was a continuation of the past. Why would she be attracted to him? It’s creepy.
I guess the Scripture went right over your head. Man will not restain himself, never has, never will. Some yes, but not enough, never has, never will.
Government is not eloquence, it is force.
Governments are instituted among men to secure rights.
Personally, I don't think our Creator endowed us with the right to use force to stop consenting adults from engaging in behavior we find repugnant or even immoral.
Our Creator clearly endowed us with the right of non-association with such persons.
Government now forces you to associate. That's wrong. But using government (force) against them is wrong also.
Shun them !
Thanks, now I feel like an idiot, but at least not an ignorant one.
“As long as everybody thinks the Ozarks and Appalachians are a place were people drink moonshine, live in shacks and have sex with their sisters, stuck up Northeasterners will stay away.”
SHHHHHHHH! Don’t post stuff like that. We *want* people to think the south is a backwards hellhole that they’d never want to visit, let alone live in.
Here are some tales about the south that we need to keep repeating: southerners are a bunch of inbred, impoverished hicks who marry their sisters, have broken down pick up trucks in their front yard, bad teeth, and are complete illiterates. If you visit the south, you risk being killed in a shoot out between feuding clans or in a still explosion. There is no air conditioning in the south, the mosquitoes are as big as sparrows, and malaria is a major problem. There is no food other than hamburger helper and grilled roadkill. So avoid the south at all costs!

If you managed to find a way to make a living in Michigan, perhaps you can give me advice on finding a good job in Tennessee!
Woody and Mia had an illegitimate/out of wedlock child together, whom they name Satchel, after Satchel Paige...the great Negro League baseball player.
I’m in Pennsylvania, which fortunately has relatively decent gun laws, but had been looking at western TN. Best wishes in Michigan! Sorry to hear it’s so bad there.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic Ping List:
Please ping me to all note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
1. The family is the basic unit of society.
2. Incest (at any age) tends to destroy the natural bonds between family members, thereby destroying families.
3. Therefor, incest (at any age) should be illegal.
... as should divorce, adultery, fornication, masturbation (yes!), and sodomy.
But we’ll have none of that. This day had to come. The questions we as a society are facing now represent the natural progression of an “enlightened” human race. When the family was replaced by the individual as the basic unit of society; when Duties to God, neighbor, and King were replaced by the Rights of Man as the moral coin of society; and when submission to God was replaced by individual liberty as the primary value of society, a process was set in motion that led directly to this day.
Liberty is our goddess now. Her worshipers will not be denied.
Are they pushers or pullers?
I stand corrected, thanks!
With all due respect, it sounds good on paper............but, society will decide which rights will be protected..........
If it is a moral society, then the laws will tend to support high morals.........If it is an immoral society, then the laws will tend to support low morals
Low morals = more crime, more disease, more broken homes, more child abuse, higher taxes, run down roadways, more corrupt officials, more graft, more greed, more supression..............a nation ripe for overthrow.
Look to the nations that have low morals, and you will see nations in serious decline, and in peril.
Anybody can claim anything to be a right in an immoral nation, and find some way to justify it.
Our Constitution protects our rights, but it is still up to the people, through their elected representatives to decide what the laws, both federal and state, will be. Mistakes will be made, but if a nation decides to become immoral and to legislate immorality, then the mistakes will occur on such a grand scale, that that nation will be facing it's final days...........
There is overwhelming proof that our Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution for a moral society, knowing that if the people became corrupt morally, then.............well, Franklin put it best....."if you can keep it."
If a nation decides that stealing is a "right", then that nation is headed for big trouble........ if a nation decides that lying is a "right", then that nation is headed for big trouble...........if a nation decides that sexual immorality is a "right", then that nation is headed for big trouble.
U.S. citizens, through their elected representatives, have a RIGHT to help steer this nation away from big trouble, that could ultimately lead to its demise...........
