And, as the Iroquois said to the Algonquin...
The English were bad, but these Frenchies...
“You other states said nothing when your leftists moved to and infested California over the last 25 years so don’t cry like babies now that your crap is moving back home”
I’ve tried to tell FReepers that truth so many times over the years, but they insist it’s California. I know. I lived what you are saying. The came in droves, and ruined our State. Damn the invention of television where the “E. Coaster’s” watched our Rose Parade, Rose bowl at Christmas/New Years, saw pictures of balmy California, the palm trees, and moved their liberal butts here in droves.
By the Way I’ll be 75 in a few days, and all his started with movies in the 1930’s when my liberal ancestors moved here to work in movie production, and then television brought them in droves in the 1950’s for the weather.
It was the late 70’s and early 80’s Cali was treading water. going under in the early 90’s.
Not at all now. Drowned
What’s left is the producers fleeing to TX and the Southeast.
That’s very cheap to rent U-Haul from Orlando to S.F. But then again, that’s the catch right there.
Hopefully. Maybe they are too scared of Coof to leave CA for TX and will stay in place.
Most likely they did. Those tightly packed cities are indigo-blue and easily overrun the vote of the lightly populated rural counties.
“Statistically speaking, there’s no chance in Hell every one of them is a liberty-minded American.”
Exactly, especially since so many are crowding into Austin, where they can be among fellow progs.
“They need to leave their goofyass, commie politics in Caulifphonya.”
Sadly, many won’t.. the biggest draw to the red states is the cheaper housing, not politics. Remember what the Cali cancer did to former red states of Colorado, Nevada and Arizona.
How much of this so-called flight consists of RAT liberals invading to fundamentally transform other states?
One comment right up front: in Biblical interpretation “majority rules” isn’t a thing. First of all, there are many versions that are paraphrases; not translations taken directly from the original texts. I like paraphrases for getting additional sense, but don’t rely on them for authority. For that, I limit my scope to versions that are actually translations into English from the original texts.
On that score, I have in the last couple of years begun using the New English Translation quite a bit, and I find the scholarship of their footnotes to be a great aid to fuller understanding. They point out technicalities in the NT Greek and OT Hebrew that readers of the English who don’t have the education to readily access the original languages would miss.
So, here are their footnotes to the verse under examination:
“For the love of money is the root* of all evils.**
— I Tim. 6:10 NET”
* — This could be taken to mean “a root,” but the phrase “of all evils” clearly makes it definite. This seems to be not entirely true to life (some evils are unrelated to love of money), but it should be read as a case of hyperbole (exaggeration to make a point more strongly).
** — Many translations render this “of all kinds of evil,” especially to allow for the translation “a root” along with it. But there is no parallel for taking a construction like this to mean “all kinds of” or “every kind of.” The normal sense is “all evils.”
I think that the commentary about the quote being hyperbole is the escape hatch you’re looking for. The Greek is definitely “the” but that it’s hyperbole says you’re actually right: “in Real Life” money is “a” root of evil, but Paul employs the hyperbole to drive his assessment that, among the various roots of evil, money is The Root.
We use a similar construction in modern English when we say, “You da MAN!” OBVIOUSLY we don’t mean that the individual is the ONLY man, just that, in the circumstances, that individual has come through with some dominant attainment.
So, although money is a root of evil, it’s so pervasive that, here in 2022, Paul might say, “Money’s da ROOT!”
Same with Colorado. No trucks left.
You Think there was not fraud in that election?
I was saying for a few months on this very forum that even if 90% of ca voted his ass out, he’d win by 60%.
State is a 55-45 klansmen-republican split in CA.
the D’s take power and change all laws so they keep it. they had to resort to “ballot harvesting” in soCal to take several house seats in 2018.
The split is closer to 2.5 - 1 dems. I’m not saying there wasn’t some element of fraud in CA; I’m saying it wasn’t needed to keep the dems in power.
In the recall, no.
In other more local elections, yes.
Yup; Paul might say it.
But there aren't any of these - thus the problem - various texts that were not EXACT copies from the originals.

Really; what have you concluded that I am trying to escape from?
That never fails. They move in and bring their tax-spending ways with them. They’re like nomadic American Indians moving on from one camp ground to another after they’ve exhausted all the resources.
