CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Actually God does have a sense of humor, to wit:
"These men aren't drunken as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day".
They usually wait until the sixth hour to get hammered.

Well, for me it was amusing to a degree and less offensive than some. (Think Kathy Griffin.) The cynical side of me just took it as more ideological reinforcement of doctrines being pushed on society as gospel using shame, ridicule, and disrespect to shut down honest debate on the whole issue of 'global warming.'

Well, my hands are tied in what I would like to say to you on this in love. For now, it is simply not right.

Lighten up. You do realize that things are so bad that if we don't laugh a little we must certainly cry a lot. I've even learned to laugh at all those jerks (and jerkesses) on the highway that are trying to kill me.

So you live in Texas?
If so, I can relate. My wife and I try to pray for them and bless them with kind words.

In Texas, it is an epidemic. I cannot travel a half hour on the highway without at least 3-5 people trying to ride up on my bumper.
Then there is the pulling out in front of you tactic and the "I don't see you from 2 lanes over so I am just going to blindly fly into your lane almost hitting you" type tactic, as well.
In this past week, I seen two trucks fly out in front of other vehicles and they almost lost control of their vehicle in the process by doing so. One guy went off the side of the road and the other guy almost hit the curb before swirving really fast.

Yeah, when I flew into Pittsburg and rented a vehicle to drive to Northern Ohio to see family, I noticed a huge difference. The traffic was calm and respectful.
You said:
Thank you so much.

Thank you. I am glad you liked it. I find cats to be funny creatures.

I drive interstate 90-94 in Wisconsin where we have lots of Illinois (FIB's) and Minnesota drivers, but they're all screwy. The biggest problem is with truckers that think they own the road, and drivers that can't make up their mind how fast they want to drive or what lane they want to be in.

Semi trucks in Texas have no problem riding up on your bumper sometimes. They also go about 80 or so in 60mph.
One time, a semi truck cut me off at a super top speed and missed me by mere inches just to get off the exit; They also almost hit the concrete end of the fence at the exit in doing so, as well. It was crazy. I never seen anything like that ever before in my life.
