    Police Shoot Black Americans 'Less Than We Probably Ought To' says police division commander.

    Perfectly on cue. The victim of police harassment, even possible criminal assault by a law enforcement officer, is the party at fault. Of course! Get mad at Landon for not taking further action, since... um... poor training of police in de-escalation, or just another "bad apple," or Landon had...

    The Open Cafe - a thread for everyone to post in. (2) [OPEN]

    That's why I was wondering about a hypothetical "better place to chat." And I agree with you about small talk. I was using the word "chat" very broadly. :sorry:

    Police Shoot Black Americans 'Less Than We Probably Ought To' says police division commander.

    I hear this all the time, that there are only "a few bad apples" among police/sheriff depts. This is the #1 defense of even the most egregious crimes committed by law enforcement officers. Just say "a few bad apples" often enough and then we can all excuse it. They have a hard job, and they...

    The Open Cafe - a thread for everyone to post in. (2) [OPEN]

    I've been looking in every now and then and have also noticed a lot less activity here. Perhaps many WWMC regulars have found a better place to chat?

    The fuss over lootings

    15 In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: the righteous perishing in their righteousness, and the wicked living long in their wickedness. 16 Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise— why destroy yourself? 17 Do not be overwicked...

    The fuss over lootings

    1 Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed— and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors— and they have no comforter. 2 And I declared that the dead, who had already...

    Get rid of Police????? I am very very confused.

    "Church Fathers?" [Matt 23:9] No thanks. I'll take our Lord's Word over those of others'. [Matt 5:38-48] Christ is not ambivalent in the slightest in His words: "Do not resist an evil man." 100% pacifist. No justification for war or deliberately harming another -- that is Christ's Word. I'm...

    Non-Dual Christianity

    Satan is merely a creation of God's, used as a tool for His purposes. Satan, nor any other creature, can try to compete with God for the title of "master," and certainly cannot share it. Infinity cannot be added to. This is in the meaning of the word. How many Infinite things [The Alpha and...

    I don't want to be alone

    The OP seems (this is only a student's opinion) to present several of the requirements for a Dx of clinical depression. (Though an actual Dx can only be given by a physician.) If the problem is along the lines of MDD then many may not fully understand why your motivation is so low -- that you...
