A little perspective.

[Caitlin.ann]

Abortion, gay marriage and people who smell? I think we need a little perspective.

What political, social and/or ethical issues really keep you awake at night?

How am I going to pay for everything I need to in the future? Will the baby boomers put me out of my financial misery? What about retirement plans and health insurance? Those things keep me up at night.

Why?

He has(d) been clean from crack for 2 years, married a year ago and has a son, and he went back to the crack, he is back here for now, the police are trying to get him to talk, and are offering him witness protection.

Oh my goodness! I'll pray for you and your son. You must be terrified for your entire family!

CC,

It occurred to me to ask. What do you honestly prefer we pray for?

Do you want your son to testify and go into WPP, or do you prefer that he not testify, maybe do time, but maybe get clean?

I want my prayer to be what your prayers are. If you are uncomfortable answering in public, pm me.

I'm only 57% zombie proof, but the quiz forgot to take into account that I have a leather jacket and I'm way hardcore.

Very sad indeed My thoughts go out to you. Although i don't know any of the specifics, PM me if you want any impartial, non emotionally involved advice. Although I don;t live in your country i have an idea how these things work.

He has no criminal charges against him, they just want info on the whole drug scene in our city/province. He knows an awful lot, but now they are thinking of no witness protection. That is what I would prefer, that he is alive. He got in a fight with the worng person, so is in hiding.

On social issues, I feel the lack of self control our society has is unsettling. Kids are exposed to a lot of crap in society and at schools that encourages them to not stay sober, to not stay strong, to abandon the values that should be instilled. Messages which encourage the norm of behavior to be an alcoholic in college or to smoke marijuana, have promiscuous sex, etc. is not a positive image of what the norm should be.

And though it has become the norm, it should be resisted.

On political issues, I am kept awake by the real enemy of the American people. This is not radical Islam: radical Islam will pitter itself as their nations become economically developed and replaced with healthy moderation and understanding.

I am kept awake by the extreme leftism which tries to keep us from doing our job in liberating nations from evil dictatorships and protecting them from Communists & Islamists.

You can destroy the Communists & Islamists with bullets and bombs, but if we are not allowed to fire them then we are sealing our own defeat.

The greatest threat to a stable and free world are those who prevent the heroic Israeli, American, Australian, British, Polish, Korean and Russian Soldiers from destroying the Communist & Islamist insurgencies and regimes.

We have an amazing force for justice that is second to none, all we need is the license to use it and we can destroy evil wherever it appears.

Yikes.

So, is democratic socialism evil? What about secular nations? Are they evil? How long before you turn on them?

I am kept awake at night worried about thinking such as this. Roads and intentions.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he BLEW THE CRAP OUT OF EVERYONE WHO DIDNT BELIEVE LIKE HE WANTED THEM TO?

I really hope and pray you dont feel this way. Remember, he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.

Please tell me that was a joke.
Then again, I guess not.
