You can't "cuss" on this forum. It has a profanity filter.
'nuff said.
I didn't know, nor did I have any reason to know. Even if I bother tracking the never ending list of religious violence, I wouldn't have any idea which news had bother which posters personally.You know, I was upset about Christians being killed by Muslims yesterday... I spent hours crying and praying, and feeling a certain amount of guilt over it as well anyone might expect.
This sub-forum is a knife fight and it's not going to get any less cut-throat in an election year.I entered this thread hoping for a touch of light conversation that could be had because this did used to be something we agreed upon on both sides of the aisle, and since we were discussing a NYT article I thought it would be a good reset to bring me back to earth before going back to more serious conversation in other threads.
I could not have been more wrong.
Take care and don't worry about responding to any posts from me or anyone else until you are ready. (And it is fine to just leave a particular thread w/o a reply.)It was discussing a NYT article from a few years back. I thought it would be a little light agreement here on at least the basics.
You know, NYT from back when everyone read it.
At any rate, I'm probably out for a day or two.. take care.

Doesn't seem like something someone looking for "a touch of light conversation" should start off with.Looks like partisan blindness right there.

An accusatory statement is not an invitation for "light conversation".
"Partisan blindeness!!!" "Leftist hypocrisy!!!"It really can... These are serious issues and the left used to talk about them all the time but now suddenly everyone is silent on the left and claiming the right to be insane because we see the problems with this.
This is why I stopped trusting in the elections to begin with, all the mail in voting, all the unsecured ballot drop boxes, people found with hundreds of ballots.
Even if it's against my side I just want to know the truth. Who really won.
But it does look, I say this only due to the sudden silence on the left, like the left has decided to use the openly known insecurity to their benefit.
Yeah, you can't come into a thread with guns a'blazin and expect people to greet you with garlands of flowers.Her second post wasn't much better:
"Partisan blindeness!!!" "Leftist hypocrisy!!!"
"Why can't everybody be nice?"

I was being diplomatic before when I said this is a false statement.I didn't expect to get cussed at in response on a Christian forum.
OP's piece quoted three NYT articles. As I already pointed out, its presentation of quote from two of those articles was just blatantly dishonest and the way it quoted the third cherry-picked the potential negatives while ignoring the other parts of the article that described the potential upsides of mail-in voting.I didn't expect to get cussed at in response on a Christian forum.
And yes, anyone, literally anyone, who walks into a thread and can't have a normal conversation about a NYT article discussing a topic upon which both sides of the aisle used to wholeheartedly agree is suffering from severe partisanship.
No matter what side of the aisle they are on.

Got news for you. There are folks on both sides of the aisle that actually agree that there was no voter fraud in 2020 or later.And yes, anyone, literally anyone, who walks into a thread and can't have a normal conversation about a NYT article discussing a topic upon which both sides of the aisle used to wholeheartedly agree is suffering from severe partisanship.
