not sure. Its the same with many of the malls, I guess? Id love it if malls were used to promote different religious customs and traditions. Im always for being more open versus shutting the doors on things.
Not allowed by the mall owners, I assume, because they don't want to offend potential customers or attract protests. Business decision. barfo
It makes sense to seperate church and school. Even though the founders were followers of christianity, this country has evolved into a melting pot of cultures, representing many religions. To allow one in schools, would deny the others. This country was found on escaping from religous persecution.
I think thats a bunch of BS though. No matter who does what, ive been saying both sides forever. Yeah, maybe the extremes on each side ONLY blame the other or both, but to lump all republicans together ( which many posters do here regularly) Is just as bad as me saying all dems. So moving forward then, anytime i'm discussing Antifa, im just going to refer to them as Dems. See? ( I wont actually do this, but it cements my point) There needs to be more segregation of the levels of each parties and not just be all inclusive. Im also not sure, but willing to bet that If I were to go to the ballpark shooting thread, I doubt there is anyone saying, yeah, this is a democratic fuck up. I'm willing to bet there are excuses galore and people saying both sides as well. It isn't just one side blaming the other, its both sides.
Yeah it happens on both sides. I am not saying it doesn't. I am saying when its a crazed dude on the left I am willing to say yeah it was a crazy left guy and I denounce him. When its the other way around conservatives won't say that. Also Antifa doesn't follow anyone, yes they are as far left as can be, but they follow no one. They are anarchists. They want only chaos. On the right side these crazed lunatics are following Trump. I denounce both extremes.
Just saying, my daughter's choir (Parkrose--a public high school) sings religious music all the time. At concerts on school property, at the Grotto, during Christmas season, outside of Christmas season, in state-organized competitions. There is no prohibition on public school choirs singing Christian music. Claims to the contrary are ill-informed.
You're denouncing the right because the violent nutjobs are drawn to conservative politics. They don't want ANY change. Conservatives always call them nutjobs. School shooter? Nutjob. Bomber? Nutjob. The lefties want to paint them as ordinary violent right wingers being ordinary right wingers.
After I posted that, I went back and read the thread about the ballpark shooting. There was one poster on the left who did make a both sides argument. There were no posters on the right who made a both sides argument. There was no poster making a false flag argument. No one on the left said the entire democratic party is to blame; some on the right suggested that democrats incite violence. barfo
Well, I dont say that. This latest is a right wing nut job. Nothing more, nothing less. But I here people equating the republican party with neonazism and such. So why cant I identify Antifa as Democrats? Lastly, There are a couple people on here that keep saying the other doesn't admit things, when they themselves cant admit their own biases and statements. See Chris, Some people on here just say Republicans this and that. I would never say that about Dems. I know it encompasses much much more than just two parties. But yet there are Dems who call all Republicans Trump supporters, or evil supporters, etc. Just because I belong to a party because I believe in limited government, doesn't mean i'm a racist ass like some on here like to portray republicans. Maybe that's why republicans say more often its both sides? Because we are regularly swept up in one pile with the extreme right. I know I don't do that to Dems. I know this isn't you, but some of your fellow party members do this. I read one earlier this morning.
Id be curious to see how many dems on here have people on ignore vs how many republicans have people on ignore? I think it might be a decent model as to who is more accepting of the others opinions and ideals. Anyone brave enough to give up their numbers? if any? Me? nobody on ignore. I listen to everyone even if I don't agree with them. IF you don't, you know know when you might learn something new.
I got nobody on ignore, but there are people I just skip their posts on certain subjects because frankly - I do not believe they are interested in discussion, just in spewing nonsense. The national treasure that is Theodore Geisel has once said
When I could have people on ignore, I only ignored ass clowns. And no party holds the patent on that. Ok, this is a lie. I have @SlyPokerDog on ignore.
I tried ignoring someone once, several years ago. I ended up just manually opening every post he made anyway - guess I'm not very good at ignoring things. barfo
