it is a belief that affects behavior. unless you can show that the behavior is harmful then it is not subject to any civil or criminal penalties.
what? this is nonsense.Almost as if there's civil rights protection for certain types of religious behaviors, despite the earlier false claim that the two are unrelated.
they should not be in the school library and it is not the place for them. it is right to remove them. it is a crime to propagate sexually explicit material to minors.
so. All governments do that. if a person doesn't think that happens in other countries, that person is a little naive. So what. We are good, they are bad. We are not obligated to teach the views of our enemies. We do have to hate ourselves just be certain groups hate themselves.
I guess you are talking about the LBGTxyz Trans stuff. Again Illegal to encourage sexually based behavior in Children.
Children are off limits. They must come by it naturally. It disgusts me to see how people will manipulate the language to say the parents are being denied rights. As though they have the right to destroy their child.
What do you think is a double standard? I don't see one. is an actual principled approach.
you cannot force morality, this shows ignorance. morality is not a belief it is a behavior. Morality is Good behavior, immorality is bad behavior. Morality is a state of being. something is either moral or immoral. it is not what I Think. Killing is immoral, it is bad, in most cases, stealing is immoral, bad, in most cases. you cannot force morality on people you can only force immorality on people or penalize people for acting immorally.
that is what I am talking about. The divorce laws came in under Jimmy Carter and divorce skyrocketed. It was the radical feminist lobby that changed it. what you don't realize is the conservative Christians were Democrats and it was this issue that sent them to Ronald Regan and the Republicans.
again double speak here. It was the hippies, who were democrats that started the drug culture. the war on drugs was the response to that, not knowing how to deal with the problem is not the same as causing it. I am not a Regan backer.
I don't think he was a great president. He gave us most of the financial problems we have today. Democrats are responsible for the Social problems, and Republicans for the Economic problems.
No, I don't think so. Democrats keep enacting policies that hurt America on this matter. hopefully, the Dems are waking up. with the Illegal workers being bussed to their states and the democrat hold on the black vote crumbling, we might see a change in this.
A border wall would help.
the sexual revolution. all the problems we have with free love and inappropriate content are due to the Democrats. they were the sex, drug, and rock & roll group.
CA and other Democrat states. allow for up to $900.00+ to be stolen by people, encouraging looting and theft.
Crime is up. lawless is Up. what they say and what they do are not the same. crime is up.
Democrats are the ones pushing for Abortion. and Aborting with no limits.
Opinion | Laurence Tribe: Should the age of sexual consent in America be lowered?
Consent laws exist for a reason. But that hasn't stopped lawyers and pundits from making demonstrably flawed arguments as “devil’s advocates.”www.nbcnews.com
that is right, but it also includes the abuse laws that allow women to accuse men at will of any crime and be removed from their homes. If the cops are called to a home for a domestic situation, someone has to be removed and it is usually the man, forget the fact that there are shelters for the women, that have been paid for. the man usually has to go to jail or get a hotel room. In addition, if you are an illegal immigrant and a woman you accuse your husband and you automatically become a citizen.
there are no facts to back up this claim. the abuse that is reported to the Department of Justice is around 1.3% so this is not factual. The Department of Justice has statistics on this so you find them and then we will talk. if 1/6 women were being raped women would not have anything to to with men ever.
those numbers are a lie. it's what Democrats do on social justice issues. They must inflate the problem and sensationalize it inorder to get support.
I am for a living wage so you don't have me there.
if by health care you cutting the ball off then no. if you me general care then I am for that. so don't have me there either.
I will agree with you that no party is free of evil, but one part has more evil in it right now and seems to be trying to make evil law.
what loose standards are you talking about? Who is banning the bible it sounds like a progressive policy, not a conservative policy.I'm not talking about "sexually explicit" books, I'm talking about standards so loose that the Bible is considered to be a book that needs to be banned.
I don't know what books you use, but when I went to school we were taught about slavery and the treatment of Native Americans. it was not hidden. This just sounds like a Democratic talking point. it seems like emotional manipulation.Some countries do that, not all. Germany has very poignant lessons on WWII and the evils of what the Nazi's did. I find it an issue where some states refuse to condemn the slavery in the history, even going so far as trying to claim that the lives of Blacks improved from being slaves (not to mention the angle that it taught them Christianity). I'm not saying to teach the views of our enemies, I'm talking about teaching an honest history where we can admit to obvious flaws -- slavery and our treatment of Native Americans as two of the things.
What LGBT-Trans stuff are you talking about. And you do realize that "trans" has zero to do with sexual based behavior, regardless of what other complaints can be made about it. In fact, most of what is objected to in elementary schools has zero to do with sexual behavior and, instead, is focused on not bullying or harming people that you might think are "different."
Sex is not the issue. It is messing with a kid's identity. it is a manufactured problem in most cases. it has become popular. this is going to do serious damage to kids and it is not acceptable. We did not have this as an issue when was growing up, because it was not an issue. Why now. because it is being pushed and the kids are being experimented on and because of the porn.Knowing a fair amount about "trans," I'd like to see the politics -- particularly the demonizing -- stopped. It is a valid medical condition for which there are few good answers (and a lot of bad ones); I do think (beyond anti-bullying) it doesn't really belong in schools and needs to be handled by the individual suffering, the parents (if the patient is underage) and competent, well trained on the subject, doctors; where the goal has traditionally been to delay any type of "permanent" treatment for as long as possible (until the patient is an adult). I'm not happy with either side; both are flawed (as it always is when politics tries to take over).
who wants to ban the bible, the Democrats not the conservative. an apple to emotion is not going.Again, when standards are written to where the Bible should be banned, based on the way laws are written, it is not a principled approach.
Sex outside of Marriage between a man and a woman is inherently harmful. now there are usually 4 lines of argumentation against homosexuality of any kind.Two issues here. First, by this definition there is zero issues with gays, as people. Merely being attracted to the same sex is not immoral as you are defining it -- yet that is often what is being talked about.
Pre-marital sex is a sin. it is called fornication. Trying to justify one sin by pointing to someone else sin, does not make it ok. I mean both are wrong.Next, yes, everyone agrees that murder and stealing is immoral. It is not so widespread when talking about things like sexual behavior; particularly when roughly 88% of Christians aged 18-29 have had pre-marital sex.
If you are talking about State laws, like in CA then yes, but nationally it was Carter. you are wrong. you need to back this up with facts. I will not take your word for it.No, as I pointed it, the divorce laws did not come in under Carter -- they were largely changed prior to Carter -- and were supported by Republicans. Most of the divorce laws changed in the 60s and early 70s.
what is the point of this? They are sinning. Democrat sin and Republican Sin is still sin. the problem is Democrats don't think anything they do is sinful. They think it is good.It is also worth noting that the only divorced Presidents (unless I'm missing one) have been Republicans (both Reagan and Trump). You can claim Clinton was a philanderer, but the same can also be claimed about Trump (who is documented to have paid off at least two inappropriate content stars to keep quiet about their affairs with Trump). Also, don't forget the "immorality" of Republican Congresspersons -- you have a Congresswomen engaged in vaping and heavy petting during a musical, a Congressman with evidence of having sex with underage teens (with questions of illegal acts), not to mention the Congressman who has completely lied about his past and allegedly has committed various financial crimes. Let's not hold up Republicans as bastions of morality -- they use it, when convenient, to score political points but their record is no better.
this is just dishonest. the popularization of recreational drugs took place in the 60's. I know I was there, I am from SF Bay area. it was considered fringe before that. Acid, LSD, cocaine, and Speed all became popular in that period, before that it was very rare that people did that. Then it became widespreadNo, the hippies didn't start the "drug culture." And, to be honest, if you go back, it seems the initial fight against marijuana was largely racial in nature (marijuana being easy to grow and cultivate, so used by the poor). I won't claim to know the full history of opiates, but I do know the drug culture started earlier than the hippies -- at a minimum with the Beatniks of the 50s and early 60s. And, honestly, opium abuse goes back to the 18th century (Ben Franklin used opium at an older age), and even heavier use after the Civil War (10 million opium pills were given to soldiers) and later, where it as used for a number of ailments (causing addiction), including women's menstrual cramping.
showing a lack of awareness and a weakness in the argument. The things of today are the direct consequence and result of the policies of yesterday. It is a cause-and-effect relationship.If you have to go back 60 years to make a point, and that point is pretty questionable, then I can't see it as a valid complaint about a political parties views today.
that is not the majority of the republican position and it is not my view. Just got a poll today saying 77% of people think that abortion should be outlawed just before the baby feels pain. that is at 20 weeks. I personally that 13 -15 weeks should be the limit.As I stated, it is up to the people in those "states" to vote in better prosecutors; and to be clear, it is not the states but local District attorneys, as a general rule, that are not properly enforcing the law. I'm not aware of any laws being changed and, apparently, neither are you. Though, to be honest, I see the some of the similar things happening in Republican areas -- such as having been
Which is a subject all on its own and fiercely debated on this forum. The fact remains, the typical Republican "position" is no abortions, ever, for any reason; and yes,
just received a poll on this today/the typical Democratic "position" has been no limits on abortion before the birth of the child. The facts are, most Americans (including Republicans) support having abortion rights while, at the same time, most Americans (to include Democrats) support limits on abortion -- despite the "official" position of both parties.
the fact that we are having that conversation is a problem. This is how it began, like the forced vax, it was mere talk, and then it became reality. The trans issue, mere talk, is now a reality. It is part of a bigger trend of no boundaries in sex, no restraint, no limits. Predatory behavior will become the norm, as described in the scripture. They will become like Sodom and Gomorrah, with no boundaries, no restraint, no limits, and completely worthless. That is what is part of this problem.I'm sorry, that opinion is just that -- no claims about what Democrats support, instead merely talking about arguments lawyers are making when supporting teenage pregnant girls seeking abortions, and how he finds those "devil's advocate" arguments wrong. He does not talk about any actual support by any party to actual lower age of consent laws, nor even any realistic movement to lower the age of consent. Again, the actual legislation being passed, predominately in Democratic states, is to raise age of consent and the age for marriage.
Those laws have always been tilted in favor of women -- they were far worse when we were kids. Of course, women tended not to be working back when I was young (it may have changed by the time you were in school). It seems your complaint is that the laws haven't been updated enough, not about new laws being passed.
I said sexual abuse, not rape, and I believe I got the stat from the government (forgive me for forgetting to link the citation). Looking now, though, I see where the CDC claims 1 in 4 women have been the victim or rape or attempted rape, and half of all women have been victims of sexual violence.
No, they aren't. Talk to the women in your life -- you'll likely be surprised by what you are told.
Sorry, both have issues, and neither is better. One just tries to dress itself to try and make themselves look as if they are fighting for Christians -- though, to borrow from Christ, they "are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean."

1. You cannot propagate the species.
2. You cannot model correct behavior for the same-sex child.
3 . You cannot model correct social interaction with the opposite sex.
4. From a spiritual standpoint it is the destruction of the image of God in man.

Most Americans don't view the Bill of Rights as "nonsense", but there's always room for minority opinions on the subject. One does wonder how well informed those opinions are, though, given posts like these in lieu of anything resembling a well thought out and reasoned argument.what? this is nonsense.
Your disagreement with it doesn’t render it invalid.not a valid argument.
They do it anyway, mostly with each other…sexual behavior is off-limits for minors.
Minor girls are molested far more than are minor boys - and it’s not by lesbians (for the vast majority of times). So who is doing this? Not gay guys…the queers want to make that ok.
A couple of points: 1) as I have stated before, there is a vast difference between a toddler and a teenager yet both are referred to as “children” and 2) books are better than the old fashioned way of learning by doing in the alleys and basements.They are teaching children sexual behavior through those books.
If it is, it shouldn’t be. Even if you want them to wait until their wedding night for the experience, they are still better off if they know what to expect. Books are a pretty good way to learn stuff you need to know.That is a crime.
