Yep. I don't care for Obama, but I accepted him because he won. Obviously he won. He was the candidate people were enthusiastic for which is almost always the indicator of if someone will be president. If they're not enthusiastic for you when you speak, they probably won't be enthusiastic to vote for you.
The conservatives had bad candidates during Obama's two terms. Romney or Mccain, no conservative was excited for, we just voted because we didn't want Obama. And of course those 2 lost because there wasn't enthusiasm like there was for Obama.
I'd accept Biden as having won legitimately if signs pointed to that happening.
I accept Biden is the leader because most leaders throughout history get to that position by nefarious means so in that way, his ascension to the throne as it were was on par for the rest of human history, but I don't accept that he won fair and square. It seems fairly clear that the left cheated to get him into office and that Trump overwhelmingly got more votes.
Lately I've had trouble repenting. I want to in my mind, but I can't muster it in my heart. My sexual immorality has gotten worse and I want off the train,. I pray, but not much. I read the Bible, but I'm distracted when I do it.
I've just been sort of coasting and coping with quitting smoking and other things by looking at porn more. I want to be free of it. I want to surrender it to God, and I try, but I fold at every temptation. It seems I always have an addiction, if it's not one, it's another. And I'm more prideful lately, I just don't know what's going on with me.
Please pray for me on this issue.
Yep, with a population of over 300 million people in America, there's gonna be bad stuff happening in every way imaginable every single day. That's just a statistical certainty.
The media uses this fact to their advantage. If race is the topic of the day, focus on that, if it's shooting, focus on that, "sexism", focus on that, etc. etc. etc.
You could make anything seem like an epidemic.
Why the left doesn't attack people like that is the same reason feminists wouldn't debate MRA's despite their requests to or the left wouldn't debate other reasoned people. They don't want to lose.
It's easier to fight toothless targets than ones who will bite back.
Yeah, they don't actually shatter reality. None of those things contradict the rules of reality if they happened to exist.
But arguably the least popular politician to exist in American history getting more votes than one of if not the most popular politician shatters so many rules of reality that the fabric of space and time would collapse in on itself. I'm being cheeky, but you get the idea.
Statistics and numbers and all sorts of other things would cease to make any sense.
If leprechauns turned out to be true....then we'd realize that leprechauns are real. That's all that would happen.
Sorry, but Entourage!
Entourage is in my top 3 shows easily.
Hilarious, politically incorrect, bros being bros through thick and thin. It's awesome.
It's like the show Friends except for dudes lol.
I don't hate the show Friends, but it's a little too sugary sweet for my tastes. Entourage is more my humor.
Yeah, God Himself doesn't take joy or pleasure in the wicked perishing. The Bible says so.
We shouldn't either. When we do things that are against God's character, we resemble Satan more than we resemble God.
We're all rightfully angry on this site for a variety of reasons, but we shouldn't sin in our anger, like celebrating the death of people no matter what they've done.
The Bible says, don't stop being angry, but do not sin.
Meaning have righteous anger, that is tempered by love and a heart that breaks for a broken world.
I don't think it's necesarily an intelligence issue. I think being more social and whatnot is sort of counter-productive to developing the ability to learn how to think critically.
When I was a kid, I was a thinker and would contemplate things, but even from my youngest age, I was a loner. People didn't really exist to me. I was in my own little world. This isolation has been true for most of my life and I'm 28. I was most social and focused on that around 9th grade or so, when I was starting to carve out a niche with friend groups, but soon moved and was alone again pretty much.
I think when you're interacting with people and are social, the thinking that's done is not the type of thinking that's effective at combating lies and whatnot. Social interaction is like a dance, a waltz if you will where the intelligence in it is dedicated to navigating it gracefully. It's not the same type of thinking as the type that's required for catching someone or seeing through a lie or breaking down why a statement is logically faulty. Because good social interaction needs for you to assume the people your interacting with are operating in good faith, so your mind is conditioned not to look critically at what they're saying for the sake of being a good friend, coworker, peer, etc. This is the type of scenario that occurs most of the time for most people. Most people don't want to be all in their head naval gazing when they get home either and are able to shut their brain off.
Being socially oriented has pros and cons, as does being isolated. Pro of isolation is more time to think, and develop the habit of thinking through things without too much influence, the con is I'm not as socially adjusted and struggle in these areas. I have critical thinking intelligence, but almost no social intelligence. And the naval gazing I mentioned earlier, that prevents me often from acting. I think all day, but find I'm trapped in my head, unable to bring things to fruition. Whereas people who are socially oriented, tend to be able to have the ability to take action which is often more important than the ability to think.
I think most people don't see through stuff because they don't have the time and haven't had the practice at it. It's not an intelligence issue, but a "what's emphasized issue.
That's just a theory of mine, and I could be totally off-base.
Finally another pro Israel Christian on here.
It feels like this place has become increasingly anti Israel and anti Semetic. It's frustrating.
This is the one area where I find the right is worse than the left. At least the left tries to hide their anti-Israel, anti-Jew sentiment behind "being empathetic to Palestine". Whereas the right goes full on, "Jews are evil and behind all the evil".
They both hate Jews, the right's more obvious about it. It's satanic and it's what's been going on since God made His covenant with Abraham. Satan hates God, so that's why he hates the Jews and wants them to be persecuted and ultimately eliminated. God won't allow them to be eliminated, but Satan can't do anything, but try in vain anyways.
Cool that you recognize Israels place in how the Bible unfolds in this age.
I'm not Jewish. I'm Christian. And it's getting annoying seeing Jews once again being set up as the scapegoat to be persecuted just like they have since their founding. It's because Satan hates God and God chose the Jewish people as His covenant people. So the world, which is currently in darkness, follows suit in their hatred of Jews because Satan hates them.
I can just feel it that Jews are about to be persecuted again. The rhetoric is doing the same thing it's always done. Finding some way to make all our problems, the fault of the Jews, and if we just get rid of them, all our problems will be solved.
When Jews are not rich, or lower status, they're inferior, rats, etc. And they need to die. When they're rich and in powerful positions, they're puppet masters who control everything and push evil stuff and they need to die. When they're in their own country, they oppress palestine because they shouldn't be there.
When they're in other countries, they infect our culture and corrupt our racial demographic, they shouldn't be here.
The Jews, no matter how they act or where they live are hated more than any people on earth, and that wouldn't arise except by Satanic influence. It's one of the most bizarre things. The Jews hardly move the needle on bad cultures in this world. They're mostly civilized with fairly western mindsets, yet people look past the atrocities in other parts of the world and are primarily concerned with scapegoating Israel.
I agree, however we have the factor of it being guys vs girls.
Girls/women always get lighter sentences, no matter the race. It boggles the mind the amount of things that women have gotten a slap on the wrist for, where men would have been in jail for decades if it were them committing the crime.
So with this, we don't know how much has to do with race, vs how much has to do with the sex of the perps.
I hate Family Guy giving James Woods the shaft just cause they don't like his opinions.
They changed James Woods high to Adam West high. Brian even petitions it to happen because he's a "political troll and a maniac on twitter".
I like Family Guy, but I refused to watch that episode.
Still dank meme
