    Why people loot

    It is not my intention to say you can't have an opinion on this. In fact, I've been very carefully attempting to have this conversation precisely because I think having these conversations is important. And, furthermore, to have them, we need everyone at the table - including people who may...

    Why people loot

    Hmm. Interesting. Where just a moment you said we didn't have statistics available on this and anecdotes needed to be relied on, you're now making the claim that we in fact do need statistics because anecdotes aren't enough. Fascinating! Maybe a little insight from the Anti-Defamation League...

    Why people loot

    I appreciate your insistence that I didn't already send proof, but I'm afraid I'll have to implore you to scroll back a page and click the links. You'll know they're links because they start with "http" and they're highlighted in blue. Once you've read them, get back to me. :)

    Why people loot

    Did you read any of the sources I linked? If need be, I can provide more. I'm sorry to say but anecdotes about a specific occurrence in California does not a rebuttal make. It's just that - an anecdote. There are coordinated efforts by white supremacist outfits to co opt the justified anger...

    Why people loot

    The reason I chose the word "white" was to underscore that these provocateurs are largely elements of white supremacist groups trying to appropriate the narrative and further the idea that Black men are inherently more violent. I agree that unity and coming together are important factors in...

    Why people loot

    I'm sorry, am I meant to apologize for saying that political radicals are known to manipulate tension to drive a narrative? There's a plethora of historical situations in which this has occurred, let alone in the U.S within the past few decades. Again, let me clarify, I am not saying Black...

    This Is How Trump Wants to Be Seen

    Unfortunately not. It seemed plausible when a few evangelical sources (like Christianity Today), gave him what-for, but it those fleeting reprimands vanished and, before long, it was back to business as usual for Donald and his deceivers. A man with such a salacious appetite probably...

    Why people loot

    I'm charmed by your sarcasm, but let me clarify a few things: One, I never stated no Black protesters were involved in looting. Two, this Santa Monica looting spree is not the only of the many in the country that broke out following the peaceful demonstrations. Apart from the preferred arson...

    This Is How Trump Wants to Be Seen

    Donald does tend to be a fragile man, so I wouldn't put past him that this was a bit of an impromptu 'affirmation' of sorts. We've seen through his life that Donald can't help self promotion: he made an entire brand out of that alone. When the bottom dropped out on several of his New York...

    Why people loot

    As far as I can tell, the ones causing the violent aspects of these riots are decidedly not involved in the Black Lives Matter movement (for the most part): it seems like those most invested in causing rioting and looting are white antagonists co opting this public unrest in order to vent their...

    Still praying to find a girlfriend.

    Hi, RadRave! Don't give up - all of us have the possibility to experience the preciousness of a loving relationship. At times there is value in rejection. Fighting your way through rejections can equip you with the strength to take on many other emotional challenges. Searching for love isn't...

    Ex-Abortion Doctor Tells The SHOCKING Truth About Abortion

    Abortion is an absolute, unequivocal sin. There is no justification. There is no room for acceptance. An act such as this will always be a sin. It will always be wrong. I will always deplore it. Thank you for sharing this video. It's absolutely stomach-churning to hear this man's testimony.

    Dating is a sin- just be friends till your married, no need to complicate...

    Agreed. In fact, the great irony of this thread is that the OP, in attempting to uncomplicate things, accomplishes precisely the opposite. Marriage doesn't come about one day. It's a slow culmination of friendship, romance, intimacy and love. The sacrament is then officiating that through God...

    Freedoms, libertarianism versus the Bible

    I'd contest the notion that God didn't grant humans freedom. In fact, I'd say human freedom, in the sense of free will, is the distinguish trait of humans. Humans are rational beings. They're thinkers. Animals are not. They're amoral and they simply abide what their natural inclinations are. But...

    Mike Bloomberg says he will release women from non-disclosures agreements

    Seems like he's mitigating damage after getting ripped to shreds at the Nevada debate. Maybe that's just me though. :rolleyes:
