I'm not making a blanket statement because there are those on the left who do care about stopping most abortions, even if we are minority.
I think that’s a good way to sum up the difference, although it’s not a true dichotomy. While there are those on the Left who believe in a stateless, classless, money-less society as the ideal, most Leftists see the importance of money as it pertains to power in the hands of the workers. You will often see leftists point out the growing wealth inequality in the US, where the difference between the lowest wage earners and the biggest capital investors is orders of magnitude larger than in other developed countries. This is a natural development under capitalism, which is why other countries have well-funded social programs like education and healthcare to ease the burdens of the poor and allow for better social mobility.The Right cares about money and the Left about people?
What happens after that point of eternity when you eventually get to know God? Do you really believe you could be satisfied living like a cared for pet with no challenges in life? Nothing to strive for, nothing to accomplish, No reason to get out of bed in the morning? Do you really believe you would enjoy spending eternity that way?I personally look forward to a day, when we will cease from fighting or struggling, especially unnecessary struggling or fighting, that is described as "struggling or fighting or beating at, or is a struggling against the wind", etc, and that it is all man's own pride and ego and "vanity", etc, which most of that is just mostly for most of us just struggling to just survive anyway, and how does that make us any different from animals, or at least animals in a fallen world anyway, and I think our areas of improvement, will be in personally getting to know God, and know God as our God, and not anything of our own selves or our own making, etc,
Yes, i acknowledge where I believe those on my side of the political spectrum are wrong. I am fine with admitting where people I've voted for are wrong, including Obama, Clinton, etc. No problem. I have been openly and very vocally critical of liberals and those I've voted for on those issues where they are wrong and I've done it right here in CF.All right so you're acknowledging those on the left are a minority that care about the unborn.
And I'd like to ask you the same thing and I mean it very sincerely. Just what do you think of using people and oppressing them? In your books is it just not caring about people...do you not see it as mistreating your fellow humans?None of your caring matter though does it for if you're joined to the platform of the majority you're joined to their platform. Sorry but your vote will enable their actions. And I'd like to ask dear Christians here and I mean that sincerely who are voting with the Dems. Just what do you call abortion? In your books is it just not caring about the unborn....do you not see it as murder? What do you think it is?
Thanks, I fixed it. There's a lot in there which you will hate to answer to because it exposes the double standard and hypocrisy of all of those on the right.And AJ most of your post switched to not being formatted right making it hard to respond. Maybe you can make some adjustments?
There are US laws against being a monopoly; I believe Microsoft was sued a few years back for this reason; the US has a long history of preventing monopolies. But this does not mean these corporations are stealing from the poor to become rich; monopolies is a different conversation.I think, as I said, that they are a mixed bag when it comes to risk v.s. benefits.
Our country should be anti-monopoly, and Amazon is definitely a monopoly in the U.S. If they try to acquire any more businesses they should probably be blocked.
There is some global competititon to Amazon. China has two huge companies, Alibaba and JD.com, that have similar business models. They both operate globally, although Amazon is present in more countries. Alibaba was founded four years after Amazon.
LOL! Right. Monopolies are about staying rich.There are US laws against being a monopoly; I believe Microsoft was sued a few years back for this reason; the US has a long history of preventing monopolies.

COVID: Hospitalizations up; 11 state records; WHO questions lockdownsThe Right cares about money and the Left about people?
By 'Left' I don't mean all Democrats, but the true Left.
The difference would be seen if for example a pandemic disease hit the planet and the Right Wing countries would keep people at their jobs to protect the economy and take a wait-and-see approach to how dangerous the disease turns out to be, risking people rather than money.
And in a more Right Wing country the low-paid being very close to insolvent, would agree with that approach.
A more to the Left country would close more down in case it was a dangerous disease rather than use expendable 'human canaries'.
Christians believe that people should have little to no concern for mammon and that the lives of people are vastly more important. It is a fundamental Christian tenet. Without that belief it is virtually impossible to understand God's Love and the Salvation that Christ brings to us.What is it about Mammon that there has to be a point when you've had enough?

4 pages, that’s an impressive length for the debate section of CF.I don't know if this is a measure of failure or success but this thread has now gone on long enough to trigger Godwin's Law:
"as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"
Aside from being completely false, your statement about Aryans and Jews is extremely racist, anti-Semitic, and hateful.Yes that's exactly it. Also, the difference between Aryans and Jews is that the blood of the gods flows through Aryan veins while Jews eat babies and practice witchcraft.
I'm glad people are finally seeing the light on these things.

That’s his point. We’re meant to understand he takes umbrage with OP’s one-sided oversimplification of the differences between the right and the left, not that he’s an actual white supremacist.Aside from being completely false, your statement about Aryans and Jews is extremely racist, anti-Semitic, and hateful.

Would you rather have a thread of yours fizzle out quickly, or deteriorate into Nazi analogies back and forth for 100 pages?It's astounding for a thread I've started, they usually go as far as I post, often 5 posts, and then stop dead with zero replies.
If mammon is as worthless as you say it is, why would the question be "when is enough mammon enough"? One would think they would replace "mammon" with something of value like money, or possessions.Christians believe that people should have little to no concern for mammon and that the lives of people are vastly more important. It is a fundamental Christian tenet. Without that belief it is virtually impossible to understand God's Love and the Salvation that Christ brings to us.
