People tried your way. It didn't reduce abortions. You know what happens when you increase access to contraception? Abortions go down!

Your insistence on dying on this hill is a result of your own vanity. If it was really about abortions, you would favor the path that causes fewer abortions.

But it's not. It's about virtue signaling and imposing your morality on others.

And then a virus pops up that would possibly wreck their world and the freemarketgang can't jump thru their aholes fast enough to get in on some of that sweet socialism

So, thumbs down it is Do you want to push the button or have someone else do it for ya

Not my words but yours .....

[QUOTE=rjr777;56561526]Idk I guess your sentiment is somewhat ok... but why does it even have to be a trade off of public vs private?

Because it’s you ( public) or corporations ( private ) that ends up paying .

Take for example subsidies.. I find it extra wasteful to have socialist programs to keep the price of food down using my taxes.

If you don’t mind to pay personally more at the cash register, than yeah ok .
But more poorer people than you would suffer from it .

Why can’t we just not subsidize food? Let free market determine the price of things..

After covid and the breakin of supply chain , imo it’s always good for security reasons and not being at the mercy of foreign ( sometimes hostile) interest that a country keep a minimum of food independence, wouldn’t you agree ?

I suppose I agree that just because the public or private sector is bad at one level it doesn’t mean all levels.

Also why not focus on taxing the big businesses rather than tax the 99%?

I got no problem with that

Ps: I know it’s not a great sentiments to always spend money but at the end of day , money is meant to be spend right ?
And spending for food and all necessity for good reasons shouldn’t be much of a concern imo .

Years ago I knew a State Trooper who was a born again type.

He was at once the nicest and scariest guy I knew.
I trusted the drunks way more. lol

This is BS.

Jello isn't structurally sound enough to produce enough friction.

Don't ask me how I know......

It's hard to say what Jesus actually taught. We basically follow Paul's sect and not Peter's even though Peter was his head disciple.

But it seems like one of his main points whas that God exists outside of religion and blindly following rules isn't going to do much for your soul.

Of course everyone since has formed a religion and tried to get everyone to follow them. It's the way of religions.

And yet you support murdering a person who would kill a human zygote (the single-cell fertilized ovum after conception).

At first this was a, "wait, what?" but then after thinking about it for a second, it got a solid nose-laugh out of me.

How many bowls of jello have you melted? I've heard good things about Tinder, friend.

What about a tray full of developing babies with beating hearts?

How’s that work in your trolley problem?

Pick up a lot of little tidbits like..One of the reasons my guys are usually so good at knowing the drivers who have been drinking is because even the faintest smell triggers their own saliva bcus they're jonesin for a drink so much themselves

Things like the department of agriculture spending 20B on meat and dairy subsidies needs to be cut out.

Abortion being funded by states cut out unless it’s an emergency.

Also politicians on both sides being in bed w large corporations in a corporatacracy. Lobbyists and special interests etc

Lack of true free markets

Enforcing monopoly laws and anti trust instead of allowing chroni capitalism to run rampant...

Having politicians serve the people instead of vice versa..

Military spending is also very wasteful and is part of the problem. It’s why I don’t vote. You can tell when Obama ran on an anti war campaign and then sent more troops I knew the globalists were in control and stopped falling for two party false paradigm.

What are you talking about?

No, it isn't.

Huh? Neither Peter nor Paul wrote any of the four Gospel accounts. Paul and Peter preached exactly the same message in their Epistles.

Yes, Jesus taught that one can't save one's soul by way of good works.


+1 on there being lots of religions out there.

Actually, you are correct.

"The fusion of the sperm (with 23 chromosomes) and the oocyte (with 23 chromosomes) at fertilization results in a live human being, a single-cell human zygote, with 46 chromosomes characteristic of an individual member of the human species."

Quote from Princeton.edu. I don't know who is being quoted here; it is from an excerpt from a journal article.

I can chase down the exact source if anybody is interested.

Jesus never intended to start a religion. His early followers were just a new sect of Judaism that other Jews called the cult of Jesus. They thought Jesus was the Jewish messiah, but when the other prophecies weren’t fulfilled it became a lot harder to convince other Jews to join, so they started converting gentiles. They still string together the Old Testament and the New but that’s why the two testaments conflict so much.

Anyway, lol lagtight. Bless his heart. #themoreyouknow

It’s weird how supposed Christians know so little about their religion’s actual history...

If you've always believed abortion is murder--doesn't that make your friend a murderer? Most Rs are still pro-death penalty afaik--trump as well.

The Bible states clearly that life begins at a person’s first breath.

Furthermore, in Exodus it says that if a woman is injured and loses her fetus her husband is entitled to financial compensation, nothing more. If the woman dies the penalty is a life for a life.

Anyway, just some fun facts for the bigots out there

No. But we follow Paul's sect as he went out to the gentiles and converted them. That morphed into Christianity becoming the state religion.
So....same old, same old really.

Peter went back and lived like a communist with his Jewish friends.

Let's just say, go with the lime.
