    I attended yet another funeral yesterday - an old chum from navy days.
    He'd had a good run - he was actually 93! Here's a poem which one of his
    five daughters recited:-

    I’m There Inside Your Heart (Anonymous)

    Right now I’m in a different place
    And though we seem far apart
    I’m closer than I ever was…
    I’m there inside your heart.

    I’m with you when you greet each day
    And when the sun shines bright.
    I’m there to share the sunsets, too…
    I’m with you every night.

    I’m with you when the times are good,
    To share a laugh or two,
    And if a tear should start to fall…
    I’ll still be there for you.

    And when the day arrives
    That we no longer are apart.
    I’ll smile and hold you close to me…
    Forever in my heart.

    🥰

    I'll tell you!

    As mentioned, I attended yet another funeral yesterday, an ex-navy
    colleague (albeit he once was my boss who often beat me at squash).
    Quite incredibly *all four* of the ATCOs seated in this video clip
    (1973) *were physically in attendance* at Don's wake yesterday!

    You really believe that's literally true, in this day and age? Is
    that what some pastor told you to think? It's silliness, this is
    2023, for fuck's sake, God is involved to be sure, but it ain't some

    Hi Joel,

    Yes I do.

    Your outlook will change the first time a saint prays
    for you. You feel like your have a blanket of love
    wrapping you. It becomes extremely obvious what
    is going on. You realize this is one YUGE loving
    family and no one has forgotten about you.

    And no, I do not believe in God because of what
    someone told me to think or some rational argument
    given me. I believe in God because of the holy
    spirit convicting me.

    I have a personal relationship with both my creator
    and one of his saints, who sought me out. (He
    drove me a bit nuts trying to figure out who
    he was.)

    And this is not limited to certain chosen people.
    We are all loved equally by God. You can have
    a personal relationship with Jesus (God of the
    Burning Bush) as well. But you have to sincerely
    seek him. He does not take well to being tested.
    And only God knows the heart, so you can't pull
    one over on him. "If you exists, make me a pastrami
    sandwich" does not work.

    If you sincerely look for him, you will find him.
    He is well aware of you and loves you.

    Keep in mind that folks who choose evil do so
    as it removes barriers in their life.

    As far as the end of times goes (day 8), Jesus said
    even he did not know when that would be -- only
    the father. If I were to take a wild guess, we
    humans will be spread all across the galaxy
    before that happens. But you can have a
    personal relationship with god right now.


    Spoiler alert: I am the "son of man" Jesus said would come, myself.
    Religion is obsolete. I'm here to take control of the world's
    government, on God's behalf.

    I am looking forward to us breaking the light
    barrier, but I will probably have to watch
    from heaven.

    I know this guy named Joel who really, really
    wants you to make him a pastrami sandwich.
    Please make that your first priority.

    The Roman empire convicted and executed a terrorist.
    There is no such thing as "God". This fiction is used to suppress the
    free will of the people.

    Gee Wiz Joel,

    That is not what Jesus was executed for.
    Would you like to actually know?

    Hi David,

    Heaven and earth, we are all port of the
    "spiritual union of the members of the
    Christian Church", the living and those
    in heaven. We are in "communion with the
    saints". We are all part of the spiritual
    Body of Christ.


    You need professional help.
    Both of you. Religion is as bad as communism.

    Hi David,

    Heaven and earth, we are all port of the
    "spiritual union of the members of the
    Christian Church", the living and those
    in heaven.  We are in "communion with the
    saints".  We are all part of the spiritual
    Body of Christ.

    So every so often in your prayers, ask the
    Holy Spirit to tell your friend you are
    thinking of him.  And say an occasional
    prayer for him. He is only temporarily
    gone from this world.  Love never ends.

    Yours in Christ,
    -T

    p.s. do not do anything remotely that
    seems like you are worshiping someone
    in heaven as a deity, or your protestant
    friends will get really cross with you.
    It is easy for them to misunderstand.


    How wonderful it is for you to bring warmth and understanding to these
    Usenet groups, 'T'. ❤️

    Quite by chance (? -there's no such thing!) I've watched here this morning:- https://www.scientology.tv/series/l-ron-hubbard-library-presents/a-description-of-scientology-trailer.html

    I will watch more later. 🙂

    Warmest regards,
    David

    Uh Chris,

    Left wing government (Nazis, Soviets, etc.)
    have robbed humanity of over 200 million souls
    in the last century alone.

    Not in the wildest fantasies of the most
    misbehaving religious individuals could
    they ever scratch the surface of the
    woke political philosophy you belong to.
    And not to mention the hundreds of thousands
    of helpless children that have lost their
    lives to the your abortionists knives.

    So you think what you just said is true, then
    prove it. Where are the hundreds of millions
    of murdered victims by misbehaving
    religious individuals.

    You are repeating leis and hatred.

    Show where Christians are persecuting these people.
    Being disappointed in one's behavior is not persecution.

    And what is this race think. We believe God created

    My church has been around for 2000 years. We wrote
    the bible. We took down two of the most abusive
    tyrannies in human history (Rome and the Soviet empires). And guess
    what, we were illegal when God founded us
    by the laying on of hands. The Romans and Soviets
    tried, but failed.

    And yes, we are doing you a lot of favors since you
    the don't have to live under tyranny because we come
    with built in brakes on our behavior that you do not.

    +1
    No other organisation killed so many women and children and innocent men
    in history like the christian church. Muslims and Jews come in addition.
    Even Josef and Adolf were little boys. And the church still covers the
    abuse of children and women.

    The church is by defintion a criminal organisation.

    Right you are and it still does.

    Gee Wiz Joel,

    That is not what Jesus was executed for.
    Would you like to actually know?

    -T

    I'd be curious, I thought it was Gods will, so that he could die for our sins. But then he was resurrected, so he was only 'dead' for the weekend.

    I've felt like that after a boozy friday night, not waking up properly until Monday morning to go to work.

    But I'm also curious as to what he's last words were on the cross, seems there are a few accounts although no one that wrote these accounts was
    actually there at the time and they differ anyway.

    Hi David,

    Heaven and earth, we are all port of the "spiritual union of the
    members of the Christian Church", the living and those in heaven.
    We are in "communion with the saints". We are all part of the
    spiritual Body of Christ.


    You need professional help. Both of you. Religion is as bad as
    communism.

    You can't win this one.

    Really! Us religious folks come with built in
    restriction on our behavior.

    How about those catholic priests and the pastors (in the USA) sexually abusing children.


    Even if you
    do not believe in God yourself, you benefit
    greatly from having us around, both from the
    above mentioned restrictions and from our
    charitable works.

    Good people don't have to be religious.



    You should be very, very thankful to have us around.

    Utter bullshit. Religion has caused far more harm during human history than any other single thing.

    Uh Chris,

    Left wing government (Nazis,

    Nazis were right wing. They got lots of foreign volunteers for two reasons: they killed Jews, and they killed Communists. There were volunteers from
    Spain (the Blue Division; they went east to fight Commies against Franco’s better judgement, and some of them stayed east, fighting Commies, even after Franco became certain that the Nazis would lose the war and ordered them
    home.) and volunteers from Nordic countries, including neutral Sweden (SS-Panzerdivision Wiking, among other units) and Belgium (SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadierdivision Waloonie, among other units) and
    from France (SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadierdivision Charlemagne, among other unit; Charlemagne were the last defenders of Der Führerbunker in Berlin.
    Yes, that’s right, a _French_ unit stood to the last, even after German
    units saw the writing on the wall and bugged out at max rate knots.) and Hungarian volunteers (SS-Freiwilligen Kavalriedivision Maria Theresia; they
    and SS-Kavalriedivision Florian Geyer were the last defenders of Budapest, engaging Soviet tanks with panzerfausts from horseback, their normal job was anti-partisan work, but they were all that was available) and even Muslims
    from the Yugoslav area (Gebirgsdivision Der SS Handschar; note that Aryan SS units were SS-something-division, non-Aryan units were something-division of the SS. Handschar normally was a kopfjager, head-hunter, anti-partisan unit like Maria Theresia and Florian Geyer. They got to have fun with Sov tanks, too. They joined up to kill Jews and Commies.).

    Soviets, etc.)
    have robbed humanity of over 200 million souls
    in the last century alone.

    Mostly killed by Commies. The difference is that the Nazis industrialized
    mass murder, while Stalin used starvation, Mao was grossly incompetent (damn, but the boy was _massively_ incompetent) and Pol Pot was insane, sufficiently insane that he annoyed the Vietnamese who dropped the hammer on him.)


    Not in the wildest fantasies of the most
    misbehaving religious individuals could
    they ever scratch the surface of the
    woke political philosophy you belong to.

    Look up Magdeburg Mercy. Then fuck off.

    And not to mention the hundreds of thousands
    of helpless children that have lost their
    lives to the your abortionists knives.

    Yep, another one who’d rather have dead women. Y’all don’t like women much, now do you?


    So you think what you just said is true, then
    prove it. Where are the hundreds of millions
    of murdered victims by misbehaving
    religious individuals.

    See further the 30 Years War. See the assorted Jihads and Crusades across the Near East, North Africa, parts of Europe. See massacre and counter-massacre
    in the Balkans. See the Reconquista. See the currently ongoing mess between India and Pakistan, between Israel and assorted Arabs and others, and a lot more, available on request. They mostly didn’t pile up spectacular numbers
    in a short time, but many have been on-going for decades or even centuries
    (the Reconquista took _seven hundred years_) and small numbers per year add
    up. Look up how the Poles saved Christianity. (yes, they did. They didn’t
    get much thanks for it, but they did.) Look up the First Siege of Malta. Look up the reason why ’To the shores of Tripoli’ is in the Marine Corps Hymn. (And Thomas Jefferson’s little letter on the matter...) (And, while we’re at it, there was a distinct religious, anti-Catholic, element in the war
    which resulted in Los Ninos Heroes and ‘From the halls of Montezuma’. See further the Saint Pats.)


    You are repeating leis and hatred.

    Nope. He’s not the one promoting falsehoods. I figure that you’re mostly massively ignorant, but you’re still wildly incorrect.

    Only if you're a white, western conformist.
    You are making things up. Race has nothing to do

    At the last count there were about 3300 Gods each believes theirs is the true one and only.
    Although the romans had a number of Gods.

    Try telling all the abused children and women at the hands of the church.
    Those that do belong turned over to the secular
    authorities. This kind of criminal behavior
    something that happens in any organization,

    True but the catholic church has tried to hide it.
    I know because a friends brother was abused and the so called community keep it quite for years.
    But you are right in that it or can happen in any organization.

    And if it were true that were were somehow created in Gods image what does it say about God.

    not just religious. This is a law enforcement issue.

    So whatever happened to your morality claim.

    Or any other "minority" in terms of race, beliefs or sexual orientation.
    Show where Christians are persecuting these people.

    Middle american of today.

    Estimates of the number killed by the Spanish Inquisition, which Sixtus IV authorised in a papal bull in 1478, have ranged from 30,000 to 300,000. Some historians are convinced that millions died.

    Being disappointed in one's behavior is not persecution.

    Who said it was.


    And what is this race think. We believe God created
    us all equal in his own image and likeness. Maybe
    not you. Okay, you too.

    Did God kill loads of people when he sent the flood lasting 40 days and nights.

    You are perfectly welcome to have your own faith, but please don't think you're doing anyone a favour. The church is self-serving, abusive, manipulating artifact of history. It would be an illegal organisation if they attempted to establish it today.
    My church has been around for 2000 years. We wrote
    the bible.

    Yes, God didn't ,as those that wrote it try to pretend that God did.

    We took down two of the most abusive
    tyrannies in human history (Rome and the Soviet empires).

    All those were created in Gods own image weren't they.

    But ntehn the christains didn't destroy the roman empire it was the Visigoths, Vandals, Angles, Saxons,
    Franks, Ostrogoths, and Lombards

    But teh roman religion consisted of many Gods but after Rome fell it became more common to beleiev in just one God.

    And guess
    what, we were illegal when God founded us
    by the laying on of hands. The Romans and Soviets
    tried, but failed.

    And yes, we are doing you a lot of favors since you
    the don't have to live under tyranny because we come
    with built in brakes on our behavior that you do not.

    The catholic church tried to put the brakes on science, believing that the earth
    was the centre of the solar system and the universe.
    Bruno didn't believe the Earth was the centre and the Inquisition found him guilty, and he was burned at the stake in Rome's Campo de' Fiori in 1600 .
    Galileo Galilei was in conflict with the church over heliocentrism and was told not to teach such things because it was against scripture .

    Hi David,

    Heaven and earth, we are all port of the
    "spiritual union of the members of the
    Christian Church", the living and those
    in heaven. We are in "communion with the
    saints". We are all part of the spiritual
    Body of Christ.

    So every so often in your prayers, ask the
    Holy Spirit to tell your friend you are
    thinking of him. And say an occasional
    prayer for him. He is only temporarily
    gone from this world. Love never ends.

    Yours in Christ,
    -T

    p.s. do not do anything remotely that
    seems like you are worshiping someone
    in heaven as a deity, or your protestant
    friends will get really cross with you.
    It is easy for them to misunderstand.

    How wonderful it is for you to bring warmth and understanding to these
    Usenet groups, 'T'. ❤️

    He brings bigotry and idiocy. Of course, your one, lonely, alcohol-soaked, neuron can’t tell the difference.


    Quite by chance (? -there's no such thing!) I've watched here this morning:- https://www.scientology.tv/series/l-ron-hubbard-library-presents/a-description
    -of-scientology-trailer.html

    I think it is great for people to be religious, and I think it can be a method of helping someone become a better person. But the idea you need religion to
    be moral is incorrect. If anything, if you need a church or a belief in a
    deity to do the right thing then it suggests you have challenges within yourself to be a good person. Still, nothing wrong with a believe in a
    religion or a deity to be on a good path.

    "We have no government armed with power capable
    of contending with human passions unbridled by
    morality and religion . . . Our Constitution
    was made only for a moral and religious people.
    It is wholly inadequate to the government of
    any other."
    --John Adams is a signer of the Declaration of
    Independence, the Bill of Rights and our
    second President.


    "[T]he only foundation for a useful education in
    a republic is to be aid in religion. Without
    this there can be no virtue, and without virtue
    there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object
    and life of all republican governments. Without
    religion, I believe that learning does real
    mischief to the morals and principles of mankind."
    -- Benjamin Rush, Signer of the Declaration
    of Independence

    You should be very, very thankful to have us around.

    I have no issue with people being religious -- I do have an issue with those who are religious and push it on others, or think that their religion somehow makes them more moral.

    Also know the Founding Fathers were hardly pushing, as a whole, for
    religion... and the first amendment makes it clear they did not want to see it as such. And a lot more.

    Hi Snit,

    You are a victim of a propaganda narrative.

    Or you are.

    The Nazis were FLAMING Leftists and the very darlings
    of Socialist International.

    Support?

    This lived and breathed
    Marxism.

    Support? And if so why did they come after the Socialists and Trade Unions? That does not make much sense. And gays for that matter. The left tends to
    back equal rights for gays.

    Of course they did not fully fit the left / right paradigm of modern America, but they were far closer to conservatives than liberals.

    The Nazis were so enamored of international
    socialism that the British were block their own leftists
    when British first tried to rearm. (It took attaching
    the Soviets, to the British Left totally on board.)

    And yes they did target other leftists and anyone
    with any kind of organization, such as the Seventh
    Day Adventists, who are totally harmless, contribute
    to society, and have no political affiliations.
    This is typical of Leftists. They wipe out
    their competition. Trotsky is a prime example.
    Marxists are total mass murdering bastards.

    The Nazis did not get converted to Right wingers
    until General Patton's tanks rolled into that
    fist concentration camp and all teh world go
    to see Marxism on display. (The Soviets never
    allow such in their gulags.)

    If you dig past the Propaganda Narrative. You
    find what I am saying is true. You will also
    find that the "National" in National Socialism
    had nothing to do with "Nationalism". It was
    national unity (gleichschaltung). Absolute
    conformity and obedience. The Communists/wokies
    call/called it Political Correctness.

    Here is good place for you to start:

    “National socialism derives from each of two
    camps the pure idea that characterises it:
    National resolution from bourgeois tradition;
    vital, creative socialism from the teaching
    of Marxism.”

    ---Adolf Hitler [January, 1934] Schoenbaum, p.57

    By the way, Hitler himself claimed there was no
    difference between National Socialism and Communism.

    For fun, look up the history of Volkswagen.

    Look at what the left currently believes and what
    the Nazis believed. There is not a lot of difference.

    socialists
    marxists
    socialists
    political correctness
    socialists
    animal rights
    socialists
    anti free speech
    socialists
    violent (BLM, etc.)
    socialists
    use of homosexual activists (brown shirts)
    socialists
    abortion and infanticide
    socialists
    anti-religious (you will notice that on this group)
    socialists
    anti-gun
    socialists
    total intolerance of differing opinions
    socialists
    cheat on elections
    socialists
    Did I mention 'socialist"?


    Here is a general rule for you to follow:

    More right wing: more freedom, more liberty, less government, and more personal responsibility.

    More Left Wing: less freedom, less liberty, more
    government intrusion, less personal responsibility.



    "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not
    a socialist.
    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was
    not a trade unionist.
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." -- Martin
    Niemöller

    Niemöller hit that on the head.

    By the way "socialist" above refers to the Socialist
    party. The Nazis wiped out their competitors.

    Jews and gays and Jehovah's Witnesses were competition?

    Would love to see some authoritative sources that back what you are saying.

    Half of those murdered in those concentration camps
    were Christian. Anyone with an organization (or anything
    remotely associated with Judaism).

    This is what Marxists do. The Soviets would not even
    let Alcoholics Anomalous in the Soviet People's paradise.

    Niemöller's point can be summed up as follow:

    The only way for evil to succeed is for
    good men to do nothing.

    Look at modern America... and the Republicans under Trump. Does not fit your narrative. Not that the Democrats are perfect -- not close. Both parties are paid for and beholden to the very rich.

    With no support. The idea that they were somehow the biggest challengers...
    no. That really does not make sense.

    So why don't we look for reputable evidence and not just make claims? Does
    that sound reasonable?

    Reputable. Preferably peer reviewed. Google Scholar is a good place to look.

    And he ignores how they target poor black areas and demand IDs that can only
    be gotten outside of their area and play all sorts of other games.

    Lets see, they are smart enough to show ID

    voting is a constitutional right. what you list are not.

    also, some of what you list does not require id, including vaccines or prescription medication (other than narcotics, for obvious reasons).

    Is it mandatory in the USA to carry an identity card?

    Hmmm. Seems not! https://people.howstuffworks.com/does-us-require-citizens-carry-id.htm

    I see no problem in requiring everyone, everywhere, to carry an ID card.

    In fact, we should all be 'chipped' like dogs and cats - at birth!

    I’ve found that setting up filters to limit the x-post count, the Newsgroup header containing certain groups plus filtering the x-posting perpetrators
    and their cronies cuts down most of the crud. I also filter any posts
    created using Google Groups.

    wouldn't work as people grow, this is even a problem with cats and dogs the chip can move or fail and even leave the body.


    The Nazis wanted to do that they started with the jews by tattooing numbers on their arms.
    I guess todays version would be QR codes.

    restriction on our behavior. Even if you
    do not believe in God yourself, you benefit
    greatly from having us around, both from the
    above mentioned restrictions and from our
    charitable works.

    I think it is great for people to be religious, and I think it can be a method
    of helping someone become a better person. But the idea you need religion to >> be moral is incorrect. If anything, if you need a church or a belief in a
    deity to do the right thing then it suggests you have challenges within
    yourself to be a good person. Still, nothing wrong with a believe in a
    religion or a deity to be on a good path.

    You are making a mistake in your statement.
    A good person based on what?

    Based on what all people base their morality on -- their own internal compass. Their own learning. Their own desire to be helpful and kind.

    And multiple studies have found atheists tend to be just as moral.

    In the case of
    believers, we are told by god what rules we have
    follow to be a good person.

    Right. You need someone else to tell you what to do. If that voice says to
    kill someone, would you? Abraham was willing to kill his son! That is depicted as a good thing! Noooo! If some authority figure tells me to kill I would not... I *know* it is wrong.

    As for a non
    believer, it is their own opinion as to what is
    good and what is moral.

    Just as it is with someone who is religious... they just decide to follow an authority figure that may tell them to kill their own child.

    They get to make up
    their own rules as to what is good and what is not.
    And change them at will.

    Same with religious people -- they get to interpret the Bible or Quran or
    Torah or whatever as they see fits with what they want. And people interpret them very differently! They also ignore what they see as the "bad" things and then follow the "good". But many times the "good" is pretty clearly bad -- leading them to denounce homosexuality, for example. But of course not all churches or religions do this. Everyone says they have the "real"
    understanding of God, based on what they want to be "right".

    Now I do know several non believers that are moral
    people. They have adopted the morality of the
    believes around them.

    Without that, non believers are very, very dangerous
    people to be around.

    Please show any peer review study that backs this.

    But even lacking that, common sense suggests otherwise. If you need to be told to do good things by some authority figure, are you really moral? You might
    act it... which I would argue is what really matters, but you do not have that morality truly internalized. You are dependent on someone else for you to be a good person. That is a weaker form of morality in that you are not inherently good... and as I said above, if you see the authority telling you to do evil things why not follow that just as fast? And how do you know if the
    authority's wishes are good and bad? With no internal compass what stops you from raping and killing?

    I base this on the body count
    the Marxists gave us in the last century alone.

    Marxism is not relevant here. I am speaking of atheists vs. theists.

    Keep in mind that in their minds, the end justifies
    the means. Revolutionary is moral; counter revolutionary
    is immoral.

    I won't retell you what the Soviets did to us
    during the Soviet Terror as it will give you
    nightmares. They were acting in a moral
    manner which they make up on their own.

    Now you may say these non believers are acting like
    immoral monsters. If so, you'd be basing it
    on what? Again back to the morality of believers.

    Now-a-days, the most dangerous place for a child
    is his mother's womb.

    A child should never be in the womb! To try to push it back where it was when it was a fetus would be harmful to it and the mother!

    Thou shalt now murder
    is not their morality. You are allow to butcher
    another human being if it are too small to fight
    back and it is causing you "inconvenience".

    The bible says nothing about abortion except a recipe to try to induce one.
    But you seek to re-interpret what the Bible says to fit what YOU see as moral. But let us look to see what the Bible *actually* says:

    And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy
    estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for
    the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. --
    Leviticus 27:6

    The Bible does not consider the child to be of much value until it is five years old! Though in other places it seems to set the standard at one month:

    Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by
    their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou
    number them. And Moses numbered them according to the word of the
    LORD. -- Numbers 3:15-16

    And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the
    males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and
    take the number of their names. -- Numbers 3:40

    And other places it speaks of where it is just fine to kill fetuses:

    And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ...
    Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill
    every woman that hath known man by lying with him. -- Numbers
    31:15-17

    Some of the women must have been pregnant and their unborn fetuses were also being killed!

    Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying
    womb and dry breasts. -- Hosea 9:14

    Yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved
    fruit of their womb. -- Hosea 9:16

    Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her
    God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed
    in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. -- Hosea
    13:16

    The Bible even advocates for killing babies just to punish the parents!

    Because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies
    of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee
    shall surely die. -- 2 Samuel 12:14

    Not to mention the whole killing of the first born son in Egypt.

    Could go on and on and on. The Bible is not really a good book to look to for morality... people take from it what they put into it. And it is deeply inconsistent.

    So if you are looking to a book that teaches immorality, and is not
    consistent, where do you think you actually get your morality from?

    Answer: yourself. Just like an atheist. You just work to take away your own responsibility for your poor behavior -- saying some authority figure told you to do it.

    And as far as challenges and needing to go to church.
    Think of redemption as walking up the down elevator.
    You stop and your slide backwards. The Church is
    one of the vehicles to keep you on the right track.

    For some it is. And I say it is great if it helps them be more moral. But let is not pretend it is the only way to be more moral. If anything, it is more needed by those who lack morality... who need to be told they should be good
    to others.

    So although as you state, you do not need to belong
    to a church to lead a moral life, if sure helps.

    It can for many. I have nothing against it. But you have to still follow your own sense or morality -- finding a church that backs what you think is right.

    And as far as good people outside the church, this
    is what we believe:

    ”As to those people who are good and kind but
    are not believers, we cannot and must not judge
    them. The ways of the Lord are inscrutable; let
    us leave these good people entirely to His
    judgment and to the grace of His Providence. He
    alone knows how and why He has built the argosy
    of humanity, and the small boat of each one of
    us, such as it is.”
    -- St. Macarius of Optina

    “For what have I to do with judging outsiders?
    Is it not those inside the church whom you
    are to judge?”
    -- 1 Cor 5:12


    <snip>
    You should be very, very thankful to have us around.


    I have no issue with people being religious -- I do have an issue with those >> who are religious and push it on others, or think that their religion somehow
    makes them more moral.

    Around these parts, to only pushy folks are the Mormons
    and the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

    And folks such as Trump and many conservatives who insist that saying "Happy Holidays" is somehow against them. And Fox who makes up silly stories about some fictional "War on Christmas" every year. And much more.

    Neither, by the way, are
    Christians, even if they borrow some of our names.

    Many Christian groups deny other Christian groups are Christian groups. Each has their own interpretation. Each uses their own morality to reinterpret the Bible.

    Different groups of Jews do much the same. Also different groups of Muslims.

    They are generally not bad people though, even if
    a bit obnoxious at times, and they do contribute
    to society.

    I used to have neighbors who were JW. The wife at one point sorta went off on me about how I could not be moral without religion.

    Her husband, to his credit, pointed out that unlike her I do not drink or
    smoke or do other things they are taught are wrong, and I was there helping here with computer work for free. I was being a better "Christian" than most Christians.

    And, keep in mind that what they are trying to do
    is share sometime with you that is very precious
    to them. They are trying to do good by you.
    See this after you get done being annoyed with them.

    If I have something I want to share with you, and you do not want it, it is abusive for me to keep trying to shove it down your throat.

    Years ago when I was at UNLV I worked in a computer lab. Went from my car to the lab to go to work. As I went there were two groups of Christians trying to hand out Bibles. Twice on my way to the lab I politely declined their Bible. I got into the lab and realized I forgot something at my car.

    Two more times as I went to my car I politely declined a Bible.

    Back to the lab. One more time I politely declined a Bible. On the second time for that trip... the sixth time in a few minutes where they would get in my face I finally had enough. I accepted the Bible... and walked over to a
    garbage can where I stood ripping out pages and throwing them away. They were offended. How could I!

    They gave it to me. It was mine to do with as I wished. And when I left work they remembered and stopped bothering me.

    The worst part is part of the reason I said no to the Bible is the year before I had accepted one and still had it. But their pushy nonsense was not really good behavior on their part. Let others be! If you want to set up a booth
    where people can get the Bible or the Quran or the Book of Satan then so be
    it. Just stop pushing it on others!

    I came across Christian missionaries once. I told
    them I was Orthodox Christian and they were very
    respectful, especially with me complimenting
    and encouraging them on what they were doing.
    They were not pushy at all.

    In my church, we have a saying: "Religion is
    is caught, not taught". You evangelize by
    living a Christian life.

    I promote a good life in others by living one myself. No religion needed. Again, not saying it is bad to be religious.

    In the bible it
    clearly states that you evangelize with "fear
    and trembling" or depending on the
    translation "gentleness and reverence".
    You will note that being obnoxious is not
    mentioned anywhere.


    This is what my church



    Also know the Founding Fathers were hardly pushing, as a whole, for
    religion... and the first amendment makes it clear they did not want to see it
    as such. And a lot more.

    https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-founding-fathers-religious-wisdom/

    A religious people was very important to them as
    otherwise they'd need a police state to keep
    those in check that had not internal brakes.

    How do you figure?

    I see no problem in requiring everyone, everywhere, to carry an ID card.

    As a youngster, I did once leave mine in a shirt pocket when it went to

    wouldn't work as people grow, this is even a problem with cats and dogs the chip can move or fail and even leave the body.

    I saw a sci-fi film once where it WAS done!

    The Nazis wanted to do that they started with the jews by tattooing numbers on their arms.
    I guess todays version would be QR codes.

    Carrying a card - rather like one's Diving Licence - would be entirely sufficient.

    Perhaps.


    Hmmm. Seems not!
    https://people.howstuffworks.com/does-us-require-citizens-carry-id.htm

    I see no problem in requiring everyone, everywhere, to carry an ID card.

    If so then make it easy to get one. AND allow that one to work for voting.

    Of course!

    Also keep making it easy to vote by mail -- where the whole idea of an ID
    makes no sense. And allow it online. If online banking can be made quite secure, so can online voting.

    In many cases ID cards are not accepted for voting, even though they are
    accepted
    for other purposes. This is done to deny the poor and minorities, in general,
    the right to vote.

    That's just plain wrong. Everyone who votes should be able to prove who
    they are.

    The required proof is set up so to acquire it you have to go to the wealthier, primarily white, parts of town -- but if you do that as a poor black person
    you are told you are in the wrong place and it is suspicious for you to be there. And the poor often lack cars, but public transportation is set up to make it hard to get there. And to take the time to get there often means
    having to take time off of work. There are cases where during the times people are most likely to be seeking such IDs the public transportation is altered to make it harder for the poor (and largely black) to get these IDs.

    Other IDs, ones which are acceptable for other situations, are deemed not good enough for voting.

    By and large the voter ID laws in the US are designed to make it harder for
    the poor to vote. Nothing to do with how smart someone is. Do not even know where that come from (other than a straw man to avoid the actual topic of discrimination).

    Their own learning. Their own desire to be helpful and kind.

    For me it would depend on the person I was told to kill.

    I certanily wouldn't kill 1000s of innocent children in a flood.

    As for a non
    believer, it is their own opinion as to what is
    good and what is moral.
    Just as it is with someone who is religious... they just decide to follow an authority figure that may tell them to kill their own child.

    That doesn;t make it a moral thing to do.

    They get to make up
    their own rules as to what is good and what is not.
    And change them at will.
    Same with religious people --

    I thought those were created by God in his image so they are just replicating Gods image rather than make decisions on their own.
    From their own experiances .

    they get to interpret the Bible or Quran or
    Torah or whatever as they see fits with what they want.

    Not everyone needa book, to define their morals.
    Although I prefer Star trek, seems far more moral.

    And people interpret
    them very differently! They also ignore what they see as the "bad" things and
    then follow the "good". But many times the "good" is pretty clearly bad -- leading them to denounce homosexuality, for example. But of course not all churches or religions do this. Everyone says they have the "real" understanding of God, based on what they want to be "right".

    A bit like politics.

    Now I do know several non believers that are moral
    people. They have adopted the morality of the
    believes around them.

    Usually surrounded by non believers.
    My ex flatmate is a 'believer' , she saw someone 'stealing' from her recycle bin
    and wants them to 'fucking die' as she puts it.
    Doesn't sound very moral to me, if someone wants something from my recycle bin they can have it.


    Without that, non believers are very, very dangerous
    people to be around.
    Please show any peer review study that backs this.

    But even lacking that, common sense suggests otherwise. If you need to be told
    to do good things by some authority figure, are you really moral?

    Believers are forced to be good otherwise they'll burn in hell .

    Where being good is doing what yuo are told whether it be killing a child, raping or stealing.


    You might
    act it... which I would argue is what really matters, but you do not have that
    morality truly internalized. You are dependent on someone else for you to be a
    good person. That is a weaker form of morality in that you are not inherently
    good... and as I said above, if you see the authority telling you to do evil things why not follow that just as fast? And how do you know if the authority's wishes are good and bad? With no internal compass what stops you from raping and killing?

    Nothing as it;s done plenty of times in the name of religion.


    I base this on the body count
    the Marxists gave us in the last century alone.
    Marxism is not relevant here. I am speaking of atheists vs. theists.
    Keep in mind that in their minds, the end justifies
    the means. Revolutionary is moral; counter revolutionary
    is immoral.

    I won't retell you what the Soviets did to us
    during the Soviet Terror as it will give you
    nightmares. They were acting in a moral
    manner which they make up on their own.

    Nealry 50% of russians identify as Christians.

    Now you may say these non believers are acting like
    immoral monsters. If so, you'd be basing it
    on what? Again back to the morality of believers.

    Now-a-days, the most dangerous place for a child
    is his mother's womb.
    A child should never be in the womb! To try to push it back where it was when
    it was a fetus would be harmful to it and the mother!
    Thou shalt now murder
    is not their morality. You are allow to butcher
    another human being if it are too small to fight
    back and it is causing you "inconvenience".
    The bible says nothing about abortion except a recipe to try to induce one. But you seek to re-interpret what the Bible says to fit what YOU see as moral.
    But let us look to see what the Bible *actually* says:

    And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy
    estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for
    the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. --
    Leviticus 27:6

    The Bible does not consider the child to be of much value until it is five years old! Though in other places it seems to set the standard at one month:

    Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by
    their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou
    number them. And Moses numbered them according to the word of the
    LORD. -- Numbers 3:15-16

    And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the
    males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and
    take the number of their names. -- Numbers 3:40

    And other places it speaks of where it is just fine to kill fetuses:

    And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ...
    Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill
    every woman that hath known man by lying with him. -- Numbers
    31:15-17

    Some of the women must have been pregnant and their unborn fetuses were also being killed!

    Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying
    womb and dry breasts. -- Hosea 9:14

    Yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved
    fruit of their womb. -- Hosea 9:16

    Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her
    God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed
    in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. -- Hosea
    13:16

    The Bible even advocates for killing babies just to punish the parents!

    And this they call morailty, I;d just set my phaser to stun.


    Because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies
    of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee
    shall surely die. -- 2 Samuel 12:14

    Not to mention the whole killing of the first born son in Egypt.

    Could go on and on and on. The Bible is not really a good book to look to for
    morality... people take from it what they put into it. And it is deeply inconsistent.

    So if you are looking to a book that teaches immorality, and is not consistent, where do you think you actually get your morality from?

    Answer: yourself. Just like an atheist.

    Nah, don't insult atheists in that way.

    You just work to take away your own
    responsibility for your poor behavior -- saying some authority figure told you
    to do it.



    And as far as challenges and needing to go to church.
    Think of redemption as walking up the down elevator.
    You stop and your slide backwards. The Church is
    one of the vehicles to keep you on the right track.
    For some it is. And I say it is great if it helps them be more moral. But let
    is not pretend it is the only way to be more moral. If anything, it is more needed by those who lack morality... who need to be told they should be good to others.

    or burn in the fires of hell.

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/hP8fue5rs9A6puxn8



    So although as you state, you do not need to belong
    to a church to lead a moral life, if sure helps.
    It can for many.
    Especailly for the weak minded and those unable to think for themselves.

    I have nothing against it. But you have to still follow your
    own sense or morality -- finding a church that backs what you think is right.

    The pub near the station is a good place to start, or become a trekkie .

    And as far as good people outside the church, this
    is what we believe:

    ”As to those people who are good and kind but
    are not believers, we cannot and must not judge
    them. The ways of the Lord are inscrutable; let
    us leave these good people entirely to His
    judgment and to the grace of His Providence. He
    alone knows how and why He has built the argosy
    of humanity, and the small boat of each one of
    us, such as it is.”
    -- St. Macarius of Optina

    “For what have I to do with judging outsiders?
    Is it not those inside the church whom you
    are to judge?”
    -- 1 Cor 5:12


    <snip>
    You should be very, very thankful to have us around.


    I have no issue with people being religious -- I do have an issue with those
    who are religious and push it on others, or think that their religion somehow
    makes them more moral.

    Around these parts, to only pushy folks are the Mormons
    and the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

    Luckily we rarely get such people in the UK.

    And folks such as Trump and many conservatives who insist that saying "Happy Holidays" is somehow against them. And Fox who makes up silly stories about some fictional "War on Christmas" every year. And much more.

    Yeah I'm more than happy to celibrate santas birthday on 25th Dec.
    I get nearly 2 weeks off work too.


    Neither, by the way, are
    Christians, even if they borrow some of our names.
    Many Christian groups deny other Christian groups are Christian groups. Each has their own interpretation. Each uses their own morality to reinterpret the
    Bible.

    Different groups of Jews do much the same. Also different groups of Muslims.
    They are generally not bad people though, even if
    a bit obnoxious at times, and they do contribute
    to society.
    I used to have neighbors who were JW. The wife at one point sorta went off on
    me about how I could not be moral without religion.

    Her husband, to his credit, pointed out that unlike her I do not drink or smoke or do other things they are taught are wrong, and I was there helping here with computer work for free. I was being a better "Christian" than most Christians.

    That's not to difficult to believe .

    And, keep in mind that what they are trying to do
    is share sometime with you that is very precious
    to them. They are trying to do good by you.
    See this after you get done being annoyed with them.
    If I have something I want to share with you, and you do not want it, it is abusive for me to keep trying to shove it down your throat.

    Years ago when I was at UNLV I worked in a computer lab. Went from my car to the lab to go to work. As I went there were two groups of Christians trying to
    hand out Bibles. Twice on my way to the lab I politely declined their Bible. I
    got into the lab and realized I forgot something at my car.

    Two more times as I went to my car I politely declined a Bible.

    Back to the lab. One more time I politely declined a Bible. On the second time
    for that trip... the sixth time in a few minutes where they would get in my face I finally had enough. I accepted the Bible... and walked over to a garbage can where I stood ripping out pages and throwing them away. They were
    offended. How could I!

    They gave it to me. It was mine to do with as I wished. And when I left work they remembered and stopped bothering me.

    The worst part is part of the reason I said no to the Bible is the year before
    I had accepted one and still had it. But their pushy nonsense was not really good behavior on their part. Let others be! If you want to set up a booth where people can get the Bible or the Quran or the Book of Satan then so be it. Just stop pushing it on others!

    Pity they weren't around during the covid toilet paper shortage.


    I came across Christian missionaries once. I told
    them I was Orthodox Christian and they were very
    respectful, especially with me complimenting
    and encouraging them on what they were doing.
    They were not pushy at all.

    In my church, we have a saying: "Religion is
    is caught, not taught". You evangelize by
    living a Christian life.
    I promote a good life in others by living one myself. No religion needed. Again, not saying it is bad to be religious.
    In the bible it
    clearly states that you evangelize with "fear
    and trembling" or depending on the
    translation "gentleness and reverence".
    You will note that being obnoxious is not
    mentioned anywhere.


    This is what my church



    Also know the Founding Fathers were hardly pushing, as a whole, for
    religion... and the first amendment makes it clear they did not want to see it
    as such. And a lot more.

    https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-founding-fathers-religious-wisdom/

    A religious people was very important to them as
    otherwise they'd need a police state to keep
    those in check that had not internal brakes.
    How do you figure?

    Of course!

    Also keep making it easy to vote by mail -- where the whole idea of an ID makes no sense. And allow it online. If online banking can be made quite secure, so can online voting.

    By and large the voter ID laws in the US are designed to make it harder for the poor to vote. Nothing to do with how smart someone is. Do not even know where that come from (other than a straw man to avoid the actual topic of discrimination).

    It sounds as if things need to change in the USA!

    Very much so. We do not have anything close to a representative government.
    All sorts of examples of this. Our gun laws, for example. Most Americans, including most gun owners, think there should be universal background checks, limits on what type guns you can buy, and more... but the NRA is a powerful lobby that buys politicians so it does not happen.

Most Americans, including most gun owners, think there should be universal background checks, limits on what type guns you can buy, and more... but the NRA is a powerful lobby that buys politicians so it does not happen.

    I'm sorry I can't help you with that!!!

    Perhaps.

    I see no problem in requiring everyone, everywhere, to carry an ID card.

    If so then make it easy to get one. AND allow that one to work for voting.

    Of course!

    Also keep making it easy to vote by mail -- where the whole idea of an ID >>>> makes no sense. And allow it online. If online banking can be made quite >>>> secure, so can online voting.

    If the people who are going to vote can send and receive mail, they
    should be
    able to apply for, and receive, an ID card by mail.

    Sure... but how do you use that ID card when you vote by mail? Right now they
    have it based on signature. There are very few cases of fraud tied to that.

    Here in the UK one has to pre-plan to vote by post. People provide
    whatever evidence is requested until approval is granted.

    In many cases ID cards are not accepted for voting, even though they are >>>>>> accepted
    for other purposes. This is done to deny the poor and minorities, in general,
    the right to vote.

    That's just plain wrong. Everyone who votes should be able to prove who >>>>> they are.

    The required proof is set up so to acquire it you have to go to the wealthier,
    primarily white, parts of town -- but if you do that as a poor black person

    are most likely to be seeking such IDs the public transportation is altered to
    make it harder for the poor (and largely black) to get these IDs.

    As mentioned above, they could get their ID card by mail.

    If that was allowed... though what about people who are homeless. There are >> many in the US, and a disproportionate number are black (blacks in the have, >> on average, about 1/10th the wealth of whites).

    Until the USA solves its "homeless" situation, such poor people cannot
    be allowed to vote.

    Not allow homeless people to vote? What? I cannot agree with that.

    While I think race does play a factor, much of the targeting is really about >> the poor -- there is just a huge overlap.

    It has ever been thus - everywhere.

    A lot of truth to that, sadly.


    Other IDs, ones which are acceptable for other situations, are deemed not good
    enough for voting.

    By and large the voter ID laws in the US are designed to make it harder for
    the poor to vote. Nothing to do with how smart someone is. Do not even know
    where that come from (other than a straw man to avoid the actual topic of >>>> discrimination).

    It sounds as if things need to change in the USA!

    Very much so. We do not have anything close to a representative government. >> All sorts of examples of this. Our gun laws, for example. Most Americans,

    I hope at some point the people rise up and insist on having their voice
    heard. For the most part I have trust in what the American people want -- with some exceptions during times of crisis, I find I am mostly happy with what
    they want in most polls.

    You'd like to believe that, wouldn't you?


    Try telling all the abused children and women at the hands of the church.

    Those that do belong turned over to the secular
    authorities. This kind of criminal behavior
    something that happens in any organization,
    not just religious. This is a law enforcement issue.

    But religions turned a blind eye to it or worse actively hid it. Many, many catholic priests were moved from parish to parish rather than be turned
    over. The church did nothing to protect the victims. When stories came out, they still denied it. This was systemic abuse for decades and probably
    hundreds of years.

    Jehova's witnesses made the abuse worse.

    The mormons it's practically part of the culture.

    Several islamic states have religious laws allowing rape, forced underage marriage and define a wife as a man's property.

    This is all in the name of the same god you worship.

    It's almost as if religious cults are no different to human morality. Most
    do good, but some don't and have to deal with the consequences unless they
    are a "leader". Lolz.


    Or any other "minority" in terms of race, beliefs or sexual orientation.

    Show where Christians are persecuting these people.
    Being disappointed in one's behavior is not persecution.

    Look up Uganda. You may need a map. Many other countries still define homosexuality as a sin and have laws against it.

    And what is this race think. We believe God created
    us all equal in his own image and likeness. Maybe
    not you. Okay, you too.

    Why is it always represented as a white man, then? Morgan Freeman in the movies, excepted.

    You are perfectly welcome to have your own faith, but please don't think
    you're doing anyone a favour. The church is self-serving, abusive,
    manipulating artifact of history. It would be an illegal organisation if
    they attempted to establish it today.


    My church has been around for 2000 years.

    That's nothing compared to many others.

    We wrote
    the bible.

    A version of it. It's simply a rehashing of the Torah and Koran with same
    extra stories. Jesus was probably a real person, but so were many other prophets. Watch Monty Python's Life of Brian, it's actually more of a documentary.

    We took down two of the most abusive
    tyrannies in human history (Rome and the Soviet empires).

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha. Stop it. It's hurting my ribs.

    And guess
    what, we were illegal when God founded us
    by the laying on of hands. The Romans and Soviets
    tried, but failed.

    The romans couldn't care less. They simply saw christians as sport.

    There are thousands of gods. Why's yours special?

    And yes, we are doing you a lot of favors since you
    the don't have to live under tyranny because we come
    with built in brakes on our behavior that you do not.

    Apart from the child abuse, misogyny, persecution of non-christian faiths, intolerance of lifestyle choices, etc. Apart from that religion is perfect.
    Oh wait, they don't pay taxes. Why? One of the richest organisations in the world and they don't pay taxes anywhere. Nice junket.

    Sure "lots of favours". For themselves...

    Hi David,

    It depends on the state.  Here is a list:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_and_identify_statutes

    Thank you.

    Mine (Nevada) requires it.  Driver's license works
    perfectly.

    But even in the states that do not require it, keeping
    in mind that we specifically pay them to be suspicious,
    if a  cop asks you for ID, it is the better part of
    wisdom not get on their bad side.

    I've never understood why an innocent individual would ever fight shy of providing proof of their identity.

    Is it mandatory in the USA to carry an identity card?

    No.

    Perhaps it will be soon.

    Perhaps.


    Hmmm. Seems not!
    https://people.howstuffworks.com/does-us-require-citizens-carry-id.htm

    I see no problem in requiring everyone, everywhere, to carry an ID card.

    If so then make it easy to get one. AND allow that one to work for voting.

    Of course!

    Also keep making it easy to vote by mail -- where the whole idea of an ID
    makes no sense. And allow it online. If online banking can be made quite >>>>>> secure, so can online voting.

    If the people who are going to vote can send and receive mail, they
    should be
    able to apply for, and receive, an ID card by mail.

    Sure... but how do you use that ID card when you vote by mail? Right now they
    have it based on signature. There are very few cases of fraud tied to that.

    Here in the UK one has to pre-plan to vote by post. People provide
    whatever evidence is requested until approval is granted.

    In many cases ID cards are not accepted for voting, even though they are
    accepted
    for other purposes. This is done to deny the poor and minorities, in general,
    the right to vote.

    That's just plain wrong. Everyone who votes should be able to prove who >>>>>>> they are.

    The required proof is set up so to acquire it you have to go to the wealthier,
    primarily white, parts of town -- but if you do that as a poor black person
    you are told you are in the wrong place and it is suspicious for you to be
    there. And the poor often lack cars, but public transportation is set up to
    make it hard to get there. And to take the time to get there often means >>>>>> having to take time off of work. There are cases where during the times people
    are most likely to be seeking such IDs the public transportation is altered to
    make it harder for the poor (and largely black) to get these IDs.

    As mentioned above, they could get their ID card by mail.

    If that was allowed... though what about people who are homeless. There are
    many in the US, and a disproportionate number are black (blacks in the have,
    on average, about 1/10th the wealth of whites).

    Until the USA solves its "homeless" situation, such poor people cannot
    be allowed to vote.

    Not allow homeless people to vote? What? I cannot agree with that.

    If they cannot comply with legal requirements (such as having acceptable
    ID) then they WILL be unable to vote.

    While I think race does play a factor, much of the targeting is really about
    the poor -- there is just a huge overlap.

    It has ever been thus - everywhere.

    A lot of truth to that, sadly.

    Have you read 'Animal Farm'?

    Other IDs, ones which are acceptable for other situations, are deemed not good
    enough for voting.

    By and large the voter ID laws in the US are designed to make it harder for
    the poor to vote. Nothing to do with how smart someone is. Do not even know
    where that come from (other than a straw man to avoid the actual topic of
    discrimination).

    It sounds as if things need to change in the USA!

    Very much so. We do not have anything close to a representative government.
    All sorts of examples of this. Our gun laws, for example. Most Americans, >>>> including most gun owners, think there should be universal background checks,
    limits on what type guns you can buy, and more... but the NRA is a powerful
    lobby that buys politicians so it does not happen.

    I'm sorry I can't help you with that!!!

    I hope at some point the people rise up and insist on having their voice
    heard. For the most part I have trust in what the American people want -- with
    some exceptions during times of crisis, I find I am mostly happy with what >> they want in most polls.

    I'm fairly confident that there will be a revolution here in the UK if
    things don't change soon. I feel very sad about the way our government
    fail to look after ALL the people. :-(

    People in the US, overall, do not seem to care much about equal
    representation.

    Yup. Most of the states that require ID to vote
    will give you one for free. Georgia for instance,

    To survive in this country, you must have ID. You
    can't rent a house/apartment, you can't get welfare,
    you can't drive, you can't get a banking/checking
    account. And on and on and so forth.

    These laws are not to disenfranchises anyone. They
    are about VOTER FRAUD.


    Your claims are contrary to evidence.

    Hi David,

    It depends on the state. Here is a list:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_and_identify_statutes

    People seems to forget that cops will risk their
    lives to protect you when they do not even know
    who you are.

    Sometimes. Yes. That does not excuse poor behavior.

    Now they have responsibility (laws
    and procedures) towards us, which everyone
    complains about when they don't follow them, but
    folks do not seem to realize that we too have a
    responsibility towards them to not make their
    jobs more difficult.

    I grew up around cops. This is the advice they
    gave me. If you do not want to find out who
    the bad cops are, do not treat them disrespectfully.

    And do not be black or Hispanic or Muslim.

    Lets see, they are smart enough to show ID
    to get prescription drugs, they are smart
    enough to show ID to by alcohol, they are smart
    enough to show their drivers license to
    a traffic cop, they are smart enough to
    show ID to get into an NFL game, they
    are smart enough to show ID to FLY, they
    are smart enough to show ID to get the clot
    shot, but they are TOO STUPID to show ID

    I'd like to see some of these folks. Do

    The whole idea of it being tied to intelligence was a red herring. Literally >> nobody suggested that.

    Meaning the idea of races being of different IQs came from T, but then he
    tried to place it on others.



    You have not been listening to Leftists too close.
    It is all about using the race card to protect
    VOTER FRAUD.


    Not supporting and not tied to the IQ claim you made.

    But that isn't the point, once you have this ID then anyone looking at this ID will assume it's valid.
    Which is why having such a thing means it can be faked and trusted.
    And then if you don't have this ID on you at the time for whatever reason this means you're a criminal
    if it becomes against the law not to carry ID.

    Doesn't really prove or mean much though does it.
    David Carrick was a bobby in the London Met.

    David Carrick, who believed his position as a Metropolitan police officer made him “untouchable” as he raped, assaulted and inflicted “irretrievable destruction” on at least 12 women before intimidating them into silence, has been jailed for life.

    The firearms officer, entrusted to guard parliament and diplomatic sites after the Met missed clue after clue about the danger he posed, will spend at least 30 more years in prison for his 17-year spree of crimes.

    So explain to me why you have these strange beliefs including what a good peron the above is or God or his followers.

    Mine (Nevada) requires it. Driver's license works
    perfectly.

    But even in the states that do not require it, keeping
    in mind that we specifically pay them to be suspicious,
    if a cop asks you for ID, it is the better part of
    wisdom not get on their bad side.

    I've never understood why an innocent individual would ever fight shy of providing proof of their identity.

    People seems to forget that cops will risk their
    lives to protect you when they do not even know
    who you are. Now they have responsibility (laws
    and procedures) towards us, which everyone
    complains about when they don't follow them, but
    folks do not seem to realize that we too have a
    responsibility towards them to not make their
    jobs more difficult.

    Didn;t play out to well for Tyre Nichols did it.


    I grew up around cops. This is the advice they
    gave me. If you do not want to find out who
    the bad cops are, do not treat them disrespectfully.

    Surely we should be able to tell the good guys from the bad guys BEFORE employing them as cops.

    Be nice to be able to do this with politicians too, but it;s a bit more difficult to tell it seems, more so in the US than the UK.

    I haven't seen that. What I've seen is that people *expect* police to do
    what it takes, including risking their own lives, in order to perform
    their duties. Yes, their duties, because what you described isn't
    something officers do out of the goodness of their hearts, it's a job requirement.

    Now they have responsibility (laws
    and procedures) towards us, which everyone

    Yup. There shouldn't be bad cops. It shouldn't matter who you get, the
    response should be the same. The police forces around the US are really
    badly trained. There's some interesting footage froma few years ago of the
    FBI coming over to Scotland being shocked at how well unarmed police
    officers - the norm over here - are at subduing an armed attacker. No guns, tasers or beatings required.

    Apparently US voters are perfectly happy to vote for serial liars who
    no-one really knows their real name. The Republicans would support anyone
    or anything as long as it won them seats.

    It comes down to how they are organised at the local level. We have 43 police forces in this country (60 million people). In the US, there are more than 15,000 separate police departments for only five or six times our population. Little surprise then that there are so many bad ones - there is no oversight.

    I don't know the exact way it works, but it seems any local area can decide
    (by vote I suppose) to "incorporate" and become a "city". that then has the authority to have a mayor, a police department, a fire department, etc, with a large degree of autonomy. In this country, the local government status of any area is set by central government. Not so there. Trouble is, that's so fundamental to the way they think that I can't see it changing, nor their policing improving.

    You are spot-on, 'T'. 🙂

    My uncle Rueben, my mother's brother, was a police officer in Sheffield.
    Her cousin, Tom, was a bobby in the London Met.
    Their values were passed on down to me!

    Doesn't really prove or mean much though does it.
    David Carrick was a bobby in the London Met.

    David Carrick, who believed his position as a Metropolitan police officer made him “untouchable” as he raped, assaulted and inflicted “irretrievable destruction” on at least 12 women before intimidating them into silence, has been jailed for
    life.

    The firearms officer, entrusted to guard parliament and diplomatic sites after the Met missed clue after clue about the danger he posed, will spend at least 30 more years in prison for his 17-year spree of crimes.

    So explain to me why you have these strange beliefs including what a good peron the above is or God or his followers.

    I'm afraid it's something that you simply have to learn for yourself, Dave.

    Try sitting quietly for half an hour in one or two of London's churches.
    That might help you 'see the light'!

    Sometimes. Yes. That does not excuse poor behavior.

    No it does not excuse bad behavior on their part.

    And do not be black or Hispanic or Muslim.


    You are less likely in that case as they are afraid
    of legal kicks back, risking injury to themselves.

    The exception is black police officers who don't
    care and will put you down if threatened.

    And he ignores how they target poor black areas and demand IDs that can only
    be gotten outside of their area and play all sorts of other games.

    Lets see, they are smart enough to show ID
    to get prescription drugs, they are smart
    enough to show ID to by alcohol, they are smart
    enough to show their drivers license to
    a traffic cop, they are smart enough to
    show ID to get into an NFL game, they
    are smart enough to show ID to FLY, they
    are smart enough to show ID to get the clot
    shot, but they are TOO STUPID to show ID
    to vote. OH NO INSULT THERE!

    I'd like to see some of these folks. Do
    they walk on all fours?


    Let me try again. Most blacks, like most whites, do have ID. *Some*
    people don't have the necessary documents to get this kind of ID,
    though, and these laws are designed to disenfranchise them. It is not >>>> about being somehow intelligent enough to show ID, anyone can do that

    Do you fucking get it?

    The whole idea of it being tied to intelligence was a red herring. Literally
    nobody suggested that.

    Meaning the idea of races being of different IQs came from T, but then he >>> tried to place it on others.



    You have not been listening to Leftists too close.
    It is all about using the race card to protect
    VOTER FRAUD.

    How is making it easy for citizens to vote in any way tied to fraud?



    You say you do have ID, they give you a provisional
    ballot. Then you go to the next polling place.
    Rinse, lather, repeat. The Democrat party has been
    know for busing folks around doing this.

    https://www.aclu.org/fact-sheet/oppose-voter-id-legislation-fact-sheet




    Oh ya. The aclu.

    When you said I would not accept evidence, you meant YOU would not. OK.

    Hey, if you have a source you prefer by all means show it.

    But we can look at other sources:

    https://dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/3778/whether-a-voter-casts-a-ballot/
    -----
    In 35 states, voters must provide some form of physical
    identification when they arrive to cast a ballot. In eight of
    those states, the strictest rules apply, typically requiring
    voters who arrive without a proper photo ID to take additional
    action, such as bring one to the polling place later in the day,
    before their vote will be counted.
    -----
    Funny that.., none of the other things listed as needing an ID require that.

    -----
    These laws make it more difficult for all people to vote, but do
    so unequally. Black and other voters of color are less likely than
    whites to be able to afford the material burdens of securing
    qualifying identification, such as even getting to a motor
    vehicles office to attain the identification required to vote.
    -----
    Does ANYONE think this is on accident?

    -----
    Further, research shows that minorities are more likely than
    whites to be asked to actually present their ID at the polls.
    -----
    Again, anyone surprised?

    https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/publications/human_rights_magazine_home/voting-in-2020/why-minority-voters-have-a-lower-voter-turnout/
    -----
    Proponents advocate for the law under the guise of preventing
    voter fraud and ensuring that only voter-eligible citizens partake
    in elections; however, individuals who lack government-issued
    identification are more likely to be younger, less educated, and
    impoverished, and—most notably—nonwhite.
    -----
    Again... who would have guessed?

    And if you do not like that source:

    https://www.jstor.org/stable/26529240

    https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/impact-voter-suppression-communities-color

    It is noting that racism is wrong. Are you arguing against that?

    https://dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/3778/whether-a-voter-casts-a-ballot/
    -----
    In 35 states, voters must provide some form of physical
    identification when they arrive to cast a ballot. In eight of
    those states, the strictest rules apply, typically requiring
    voters who arrive without a proper photo ID to take additional
    action, such as bring one to the polling place later in the day,
    before their vote will be counted.
    -----
    Funny that.., none of the other things listed as needing an ID require that.

    -----
    These laws make it more difficult for all people to vote, but do
    so unequally. Black and other voters of color are less likely than
    whites to be able to afford the material burdens of securing
    qualifying identification, such as even getting to a motor
    vehicles office to attain the identification required to vote.
    -----
    Does ANYONE think this is on accident?

    -----
    Further, research shows that minorities are more likely than
    whites to be asked to actually present their ID at the polls.
    -----
    Again, anyone surprised?

    https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/publications/human_rights_magazine_home/voting-in-2020/why-minority-voters-have-a-lower-voter-turnout/
    -----
    Proponents advocate for the law under the guise of preventing
    voter fraud and ensuring that only voter-eligible citizens partake
    in elections; however, individuals who lack government-issued
    identification are more likely to be younger, less educated, and
    impoverished, and—most notably—nonwhite.

    There is a reason his examples are non-existent. If he produces any they will likely be from Alex Jones and the like, and not tied to any actual conviction or reputable evidence.

    nothing in this world is perfect and there will always be minor fraud

    Oh nothing at all!!! Leftists/wokies control that
    city. They ARE the power structure. Don't go
    blaming white people. They got what they voted for.

    There are racists in every crowd. And there were tons
    of blacks/minorities working for Trump. You know,
    the ones you racists called "uncle toms". Trump did
    not tolerate racism.

    The difference between your side and ours is that Trump
    hired based on character and qualifications, not
    unqualified idiots based on race, gender, weird
    proclivities, etc..

    There are racists in America or all colors. But
    America is NOT a racist country. Ask your self

    folks be faking minority status to get ahead?
    And who would watch a super ball football game

    And as far as racism goes, not stopping BLM's
    "peaceful" demonstrations in their tracks did
    more damage to those black communities: business
    ruined and/or moves, jobs dried up, lack of policing
    causing black forks to live in terror, having

    etc., etc, THAN ANY WHITE SUPREMACIST W-I-L-D-E-S-T
    DREAMS! We need to seriously look at who the real

    Evidence (though they did not fit exactly with the modern American right).

    https://www.britannica.com/story/were-the-nazis-socialists
    -----
    Were the Nazis socialists? No, not in any meaningful way, and
    certainly not after 1934.
    ...
    By the late 1920s, however, with the German economy in free fall,
    Hitler had enlisted support from wealthy industrialists who sought
    to pursue avowedly anti-socialist policies. Otto Strasser soon
    recognized that the Nazis were neither a party of socialists nor a
    party of workers, and in 1930 he broke away to form the
    anti-capitalist Schwarze Front (Black Front).
    ...
    Hitler allied himself with leaders of German conservative and
    nationalist movements, and in January 1933 German President Paul
    von Hindenburg appointed him chancellor. Hitler’s Third Reich had
    been born, and it was entirely fascist in character. ... In April
    1933 communists, socialists, democrats, and Jews were purged from
    the German civil service, and trade unions were outlawed the
    following month.
    ...
    Lest there be any remaining questions about the political
    character of the Nazi revolution, Hitler ordered the murder of
    Gregor Strasser, an act that was carried out on June 30, 1934,
    during the Night of the Long Knives. Any remaining traces of
    socialist thought in the Nazi Party had been extinguished.

    This is clearly not true... and you have been shown evidence of his own racism / bigotry.

    The difference between your side and ours is that Trump
    hired based on character and qualifications, not
    unqualified idiots based on race, gender, weird
    proclivities, etc..

    Trump literally hired people who did not believe in the very things they were running. And had huge turn over. That is part of the reason he is considered one of the worst presidents in US history.

    There are racists in America or all colors. But
    America is NOT a racist country. Ask your self
    this, if America was a racist country, why would
    folks be faking minority status to get ahead?
    And who would watch a super ball football game
    with 80% of the players being black?

    Many people do watch such games. Not sure how that removes the fact that
    racism still is clearly a part of the US.

    them to dramatically lower their standards in hiring.
    Oh nothing at all!!! Leftists/wokies control that
    city. They ARE the power structure. Don't go
    blaming white people. They got what they voted for.


    Alright, you seem to be making a claim that could be interesting, so
    I'll give you a chance to prove it. Show me some evidence that these
    cops gained the authority they had due to "leftists/wokies". 'Cause
    if so, they sure used the power in a strange way, they were part of a
    squad that had a special role in fact, tell me how that makes sense.


    There are racists in every crowd. And there were tons
    of blacks/minorities working for Trump. You know,
    the ones you racists called "uncle toms". Trump did
    not tolerate racism.

    The difference between your side and ours is that Trump
    hired based on character and qualifications, not
    unqualified idiots based on race, gender, weird
    proclivities, etc..

    There are racists in America or all colors. But
    America is NOT a racist country. Ask your self
    this, if America was a racist country, why would
    folks be faking minority status to get ahead?
    And who would watch a super ball football game
    with 80% of the players being black?

    And as far as racism goes, not stopping BLM's
    "peaceful" demonstrations in their tracks did
    more damage to those black communities: business
    ruined and/or moves, jobs dried up, lack of policing
    causing black forks to live in terror, having
    to go to the other side of town to buy food,
    etc., etc, THAN ANY WHITE SUPREMACIST W-I-L-D-E-S-T
    DREAMS! We need to seriously look at who the real
    racists here are. Wokies are the real racists.


    That's just propaganda.

    people using others' identities to vote, it doesn't *EXIST*, because
    they would get *CAUGHT*, in almost every case. It is a lie. Voter ID
    is disenfranchisement, in its *ENTIRETY*.

    Exactly. By enforcing it the republicans are, by happy coincidence, disenfranchising the communities who are more likely to vote democrat.

    Yup. Most of the states that require ID to vote

    To survive in this country, you must have ID. You
    can't rent a house/apartment, you can't get welfare,
    you can't drive, you can't get a banking/checking
    account. And on and on and so forth.

    you're making a fake issue out of thin air. You might as well claim

    Interesting propaganda narrative.

    Hmmmmm. Who did all those 140 people
    vote for in the 2020 election? We
    did break a record.

    Show examples of voter fraud from either party. Voter fraud that is well documented and where someone was convicted of a crime.

    You would not accept it, so I am not going to put

    Hi David,

    It depends on the state.  Here is a list:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_and_identify_statutes

    Thank you.

    Mine (Nevada) requires it.  Driver's license works
    perfectly.

    But even in the states that do not require it, keeping
    in mind that we specifically pay them to be suspicious,
    if a  cop asks you for ID, it is the better part of
    wisdom not get on their bad side.

    I've never understood why an innocent individual would ever fight
    shy of
    providing proof of their identity.


    People seems to forget that cops will risk their
    lives to protect you when they do not even know
    who you are.  Now they have responsibility (laws
    and procedures) towards us, which everyone
    complains about when they don't follow them, but
    folks do not seem to realize that we too have a
    responsibility towards them to not make their
    jobs more difficult.

    I grew up around cops.  This is the advice they
    gave me.  If you do not want to find out who
    the bad cops are, do not treat them disrespectfully.

    You are spot-on, 'T'. 🙂

    My uncle Rueben, my mother's brother, was a police officer in
    Sheffield. Her cousin, Tom, was a bobby in the London Met.
    Their values were passed on down to me!

    it is wrong.

    it depends on the state. some states revoke it permanently, some not at

    You have not been listening to Leftists too close.
    It is all about using the race card to protect

    How is making it easy for citizens to vote in any way tied to fraud? >>>>>
    You say you do have ID, they give you a provisional
    ballot. Then you go to the next polling place.
    Rinse, lather, repeat.

    Where do they allow people to vote at more than one polling place? If I do not
    vote by mail there is one and only one place I can go. Only one place that has
    my name.

    The Democrat party has been
    know for busing folks around doing this.

    Reputable source to back this? Alex Jones does not count.


    There is tons of evidence.

    You're right. Here's the biggest one. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-georgia-grand-jury-report-indictment-1781410

    Yes. Then back the idea each needs to be done in person where a person has to show an ID. Then say which of those have not just an ID, but the same ID rules as voting.

    And that is the rub. You will never do that. You cannot do that.



    You can not survive in this society
    without identification.

    And yet many people survive without an ID.

    States bend

    This is not true. As I showed recently with evidence.

    End cheat-by-mail.

    Please show the evidence voting by mail is more prone to cheating, and then offer an alternative for those who are disabled in ways they cannot travel well.

    Everyone show ID.
    Everyone show up to vote, except those
    that have applied for absentee ballots.

    Which is vote by mail. By the way, many in the military use that. You are seeking to deny many in he military a chance to vote.

    No more electronic voting. No more
    dead people voting. No more cheating.

    You have not made the case that an ID reduces cheating.

    Which is it? Race card or no race card?

    It is noting that racism is wrong. Are you arguing against that?

    https://dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/3778/whether-a-voter-casts-a-ballot/ >> -----
    In 35 states, voters must provide some form of physical
    identification when they arrive to cast a ballot. In eight of
    those states, the strictest rules apply, typically requiring
    voters who arrive without a proper photo ID to take additional
    action, such as bring one to the polling place later in the day,
    before their vote will be counted.
    -----
    Funny that.., none of the other things listed as needing an ID require that. >>
    -----
    These laws make it more difficult for all people to vote, but do
    so unequally. Black and other voters of color are less likely than
    whites to be able to afford the material burdens of securing
    qualifying identification, such as even getting to a motor
    vehicles office to attain the identification required to vote.
    -----
    Does ANYONE think this is on accident?

    -----
    Further, research shows that minorities are more likely than
    whites to be asked to actually present their ID at the polls.
    -----
    Again, anyone surprised?

    https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/publications/human_rights_magazine_home/voting-in-2020/why-minority-voters-have-a-lower-voter-turnout/
    -----
    Proponents advocate for the law under the guise of preventing
    voter fraud and ensuring that only voter-eligible citizens partake
    in elections; however, individuals who lack government-issued
    identification are more likely to be younger, less educated, and
    impoverished, and—most notably—nonwhite.
    -----
    Again... who would have guessed?

    And if you do not like that source:

    https://www.jstor.org/stable/26529240

    https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/impact-voter-suppression-communities-color



    If you believe racism is wrong, why are you
    calling the race card?

    By race card do you mean showing evidence?

    In short, you pretended the Voter ID was not an issue... was not targeting the poor and the minority. You acted like it was no different than getting on SNAP or whatever.

    But the evidence is contrary to that.

    It pretty much meant the same thig it does

    -----
    Were the Nazis socialists? No, not in any meaningful way, and
    certainly not after 1934.
    ...
    By the late 1920s, however, with the German economy in free fall,
    Hitler had enlisted support from wealthy industrialists who sought
    to pursue avowedly anti-socialist policies. Otto Strasser soon
    recognized that the Nazis were neither a party of socialists nor a
    party of workers, and in 1930 he broke away to form the
    anti-capitalist Schwarze Front (Black Front).
    ...
    Hitler allied himself with leaders of German conservative and
    nationalist movements, and in January 1933 German President Paul
    von Hindenburg appointed him chancellor. Hitler’s Third Reich had
    been born, and it was entirely fascist in character. ... In April
    1933 communists, socialists, democrats, and Jews were purged from
    the German civil service, and trade unions were outlawed the
    following month.
    ...
    Lest there be any remaining questions about the political
    character of the Nazi revolution, Hitler ordered the murder of
    Gregor Strasser, an act that was carried out on June 30, 1934,
    during the Night of the Long Knives. Any remaining traces of
    socialist thought in the Nazi Party had been extinguished.

    "Britannica" is being politically correct.

    It is a well respected source.

    And you have no counter. I have evidence. You have... ramblings.


    Here is a read for you:

    https://mises.org/library/why-nazism-was-socialism-and-why-socialism-totalitarian

    A libertarian non-profit. OK, we know they have a pretty significant bias.

    My purpose today is to make just two main points: (1)
    To show why Nazi Germany was a socialist state,

    It was not. So the very premise of what they are trying to show is not true.

    not
    a capitalist one. And (2) to show why socialism,
    understood as an economic system based on government
    ownership of the means of production, positively
    requires a totalitarian dictatorship.

    Also not in any way true... or at least democratic socialism as is found in many countries.


    The identification of Nazi Germany as a socialist
    state was one of the many great contributions of
    Ludwig von Mises.

    When one remembers that the word "Nazi" was an
    abbreviation for "der Nationalsozialistische
    Deutsche Arbeiters Partei — in English translation:
    the National Socialist German Workers' Party —

    And China is the People's Republic of China. Does that make it a Republic?

    Mises's identification might not appear all that
    noteworthy. For what should one expect the economic
    system of a country ruled by a party with "socialist"
    in its name to be but socialism?

    So China must be a Republic. Er? This is nonsense.

    What Mises identified was that private ownership
    of the means of production existed in name only
    under the Nazis and that the actual substance
    of ownership of the means of production resided
    in the German government.

    Support?

    For it was the German
    government and not the nominal private owners that
    exercised all of the substantive powers of
    ownership: it, not the nominal private owners,
    decided what was to be produced, in what quantity,
    by what methods, and to whom it was to be
    distributed, as well as what prices would be
    charged and what wages would be paid, and what
    dividends or other income the nominal private
    owners would be permitted to receive. The position
    of the alleged private owners, Mises showed, was
    reduced essentially to that of government pensioners.

    So no support. But even if there was a socialist economic system. So? Are you trying to tie the economic system -- which you have no evidence of -- to the atrocities? If so how do you think they are connected?

    Liberals want evidence-based regulation and oversight to help ensure clean air and water, safe food, and human rights. This includes following the scientific evidence about climate change and food safety, and things like setting levels of lead and other harmful substances allowed, and even to wanting to do research to reduce the harm of tools such as cars and guns and swimming pools.

    * Conservative: support special entitlements for whites, Christians, males, heterosexuals, those in lower populated states, and the wealthy, with a focus on redistributing wealth to the very richest in the nation with the idea that this will somehow help others.

    Conservatives want regulation and oversight based on their own feelings and what they believe has historically existed (which is often incorrect), or even just based on their own religion. This includes controlling which consenting adults can marry each other, what a woman can do with her own body, and even insisting the government gets to define YOUR gender. They also work to create regulations on voting to limit who can vote, for if the people truly get a voice they know their ideas are less likely to be accepted. Liberals are right to call conservatives out on this also being a form of control and, I think, a less defensible one.

    Trivia to do... the idea a black man could be a "real" American, or even born in America, even with a birth certificate to prove it... Trump could not

    https://youtu.be/YkBBNU8c-xU

    Now that was your standard. An absurd one that excludes his racist tweets and more, but whatever.

    Your standard was trivial to meet.

    But you will not change your mind. Video proof will not be enough.

    You have no rebuttal. And it is easy to show... look at things like the EPA. Not perfect, but amazingly effective. Look at carbon and lead. Look at how liberals tend to back what the American people, even gun owners, want with gun controls.

    You have no counter because what I say is true. Carroll will come along soon and try to find any tiny nit in wording. That is what he does. But the overall ideas -- he will have no counter either.

    disenfranchising the communities who are more likely to vote democrat.

    Yes. Pure coincidence.

    You can if you wish. If challenged, however, I can back up pretty much everything I assert.

    You, on the other hand, can't. Which is important with making very serious claims. Therefore you're all mouth and no trousers as we say on this side
    of the pond.

    I did it correctly. I am 68 years old and
    have voted in every election. I know how
    to do it.

    Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Adding extra layers of complications
    will guarantee more will make them. The right to vote must be as inclusive

    You left out where I looked at the source and noted how absurdly inaccurate they are. It is not just that they are a known biased source, the content you shared was clearly biased and inaccurate.

    "My purpose today is to make just two main points: (1) To show why Nazi
    Germany was a socialist state,"

    The author stated his purpose was to back something that is not true.

    " And (2) to show why socialism,
    understood as an economic system based on government
    ownership of the means of production, positively
    requires a totalitarian dictatorship."

    Also not in any way true... or at least democratic socialism as is found in many countries.

    He then focuses on the name, as if China must be a Republic. Just dumb. You
    had no response.

    The content you posted was not support.

    I had a former democrat friend high up in the

    cheat by mail and that I had never showed up

    how about that. How about all those precincts

    Other conservative members on Next Door told me
    they had the same issue and were to go on the

    is what Next Door had to do with it.

    Please stop twisting my words.

    I hear conservatives being sore losers and whining a lot. I live in a red state. What I do not see is EVIDENCE.

    It matters.

    That would be a fair assessment, yes. Or you did it wrong.


    Well then Chris, should I then return the
    favor and consider EVERYTHING you say to
    be a lie as well?

    You are making an extraordinary claim. One where if true you would have a
    solid court case. One that if true, and not some bizarre anomaly, would be >> easy to show the evidence for.

    You show no such thing.

    What am I going to do. Log you into the secretary
    of state's office and send you a screen shot?

    Show where this was common and the court cases that followed from it. Blocking you vote would be illegal.

    I did it correctly. I am 68 years old and
    have voted in every election. I know how
    to do it.

    Apparently not.

    And so, so many others to. I did it correctly.

    So where is the class action case?

    And if you could not vote with the current rules do you want to add complications with additional ID laws?

    I had a former democrat friend high up in the
    county's democrat party actually call me and
    ask if I had voted. I told him I had voted
    cheat by mail

    If you were cheating then this is why your vote would not be counted... and
    YOU should be taken to court. What did you do to cheat?


    and that I had never showed up
    at the secretary of state. I asked him if he
    had heard anything along those lines? He
    has not spoken to me since. Guess he got
    the confirmation he was looking for. I had
    thought better of him.

    None of your story is making sense... you tried to cheat but... what?


    So, when I die and start voting democrat.

    A paranoid claim. Whatever.

    how about that. How about all those precincts
    with 100% turn outs? A coupe had 140% turn outs.

    When looking at population from the past and vote counts now. Yeah, I have looked into those claims.

    This is all silly. If you think there is widespread fraud them show it.

    So far you are the one saying you tried to "cheat by mail". Other than that I have no evidence of cheating.


    And record breaking 140 years old voting!

    Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Adding extra layers of complications
    will guarantee more will make them. The right to vote must be as inclusive >> as possible.




    Too many of us had the same experience.

    Something went wrong and his vote was not counted, he says, but he wants to
    add layers of complications.

    Your argument is a major insult to Blacks.
    They are not too stupid or "burdened" to
    show ID.


    How do they drive a car?

    How do you get a bus pass?

    What do they show the traffic cop?

    How do they rent an apartment or buy a house?

    How to they get on a plane?

    How do they cash their welfare check?

    How do they get into a football game?

    how do they buy cigarettes and alcohol?

    Shall I go on?

    Yes. Then back the idea each needs to be done in person where a person has to show an ID. Then say which of those have not just an ID, but the same ID rules
    as voting.

    Requested absentee ballots are fine. Please get my
    story straight. Mailing am unsolicited ballot to
    everyone, even when they are dead, have moved, etc,
    is way to much temptation to cheat.


    And that is the rub. You will never do that. You cannot do that.

    Not showing ID to vote is insuring voter fraud.


    You can not survive in this society
    without identification.

    And yet many people survive without an ID.

    Ya, right. They must live way, way off grid.
    And never drive to the grocery store.


    States bend
    over backwards to help you get ID.

    This is not true. As I showed recently with evidence.

    Hmmmmm. Check out George's new voting law.
    And not the opinions of American Pravda.

    https://dol.georgia.gov/blog-post/idme



    End cheat-by-mail.

    Please show the evidence voting by mail is more prone to cheating, and then offer an alternative for those who are disabled in ways they cannot travel well.


    Gee Wiz, No one ever tell out about
    getting ballots for former residents
    of their houses? And on and on and on
    and so forth.


    Everyone show ID.
    Everyone show up to vote, except those
    that have applied for absentee ballots.

    Which is vote by mail. By the way, many in the military use that. You are seeking to deny many in he military a chance to vote.

    You are vastly confusing "solicited" absentee
    ballots with unsolicited ballots mailed out
    in bulk.

    By the way, I voted absentee ballots in the
    military all the time. Big, big difference between
    absentee ballots and cheat-by-mail.


    No more electronic voting. No more
    dead people voting. No more cheating.

    You have not made the case that an ID reduces cheating.

    Oh and add no more ballot harvesting too.

    And yes I did.

    Baloney

    This includes controlling which consenting

    insisting the government gets to define YOUR gender.

    The family is how our socienty replenishes itself, And society has
    every right to define
    what the family is.

    They also work to create
    regulations on voting to limit who can vote,

    Garbage. We only want to insure that everyone
    that has the right to vote does. No cheating.

    for if the people truly get a
    voice they know their ideas are less likely to be accepted. Liberals are right
    to call conservatives out on this also being a form of control and, I think, a
    less defensible one.

    Baloney. Liberals are the control freaks.


    Uhhh. That does not deserve a response!

    You have no rebuttal. And it is easy to show... look at things like the EPA. Not perfect, but amazingly effective. Look at carbon and lead. Look at how liberals tend to back what the American people, even gun owners, want with gun
    controls.

    No rebuttal as it was total baloney

    Does ANYONE think this is on accident?

    How about does anyone think this is utter bull s***?

    Your argument is a major insult to Blacks.
    They are not too stupid or "burdened" to
    show ID.


    How do they drive a car?

    How do you get a bus pass?

    What do they show the traffic cop?

    How do they rent an apartment or buy a house?

    How to they get on a plane?

    How to they get prescription drugs?

    How do they get the Clot Shot?

    How do they get a checking account?

    How do the apply for Welfare?

    How do they cash their welfare check?

    How do they get into a football game?

    how do they buy cigarettes and alcohol?

    Shall I go on?

    Yes. Then back the idea each needs to be done in person where a person has to
    show an ID. Then say which of those have not just an ID, but the same ID rules
    as voting.

    Requested absentee ballots are fine. Please get my
    story straight. Mailing am unsolicited ballot to
    everyone, even when they are dead, have moved, etc,
    is way to much temptation to cheat.

    So you are OK with vote by mail?



    And that is the rub. You will never do that. You cannot do that.

    Not showing ID to vote is insuring voter fraud.

    But you are OK with vote by mail?



    You can not survive in this society
    without identification.

    And yet many people survive without an ID.

    Ya, right. They must live way, way off grid.
    And never drive to the grocery store.

    Many people do not have cars. And I have shown you evidence tied to the ID claims. You ignore it.

    https://dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/3778/whether-a-voter-casts-a-ballot/
    -----
    In 35 states, voters must provide some form of physical
    identification when they arrive to cast a ballot. In eight of
    those states, the strictest rules apply, typically requiring
    voters who arrive without a proper photo ID to take additional
    action, such as bring one to the polling place later in the day,
    before their vote will be counted.
    -----
    Funny that.., none of the other things listed as needing an ID require that.

    -----
    These laws make it more difficult for all people to vote, but do
    so unequally. Black and other voters of color are less likely than
    whites to be able to afford the material burdens of securing
    qualifying identification, such as even getting to a motor
    vehicles office to attain the identification required to vote.
    -----
    Does ANYONE think this is on accident?

    -----
    Further, research shows that minorities are more likely than
    whites to be asked to actually present their ID at the polls.
    -----
    Again, anyone surprised?

    https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/publications/human_rights_magazine_home/voting-in-2020/why-minority-voters-have-a-lower-voter-turnout/
    -----
    Proponents advocate for the law under the guise of preventing
    voter fraud and ensuring that only voter-eligible citizens partake
    in elections; however, individuals who lack government-issued
    identification are more likely to be younger, less educated, and
    impoverished, and—most notably—nonwhite.

    Again... who would have guessed?

    And if you do not like that source:

    https://www.jstor.org/stable/26529240

    https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/impact-voter-suppression-communities-color




    States bend
    over backwards to help you get ID.

    This is not true. As I showed recently with evidence.

    Hmmmmm. Check out George's new voting law.
    And not the opinions of American Pravda.

    https://dol.georgia.gov/blog-post/idme

    Would have to double check... are you sure that ID even works for voting? Can students get it? How hard is it to get?




    End cheat-by-mail.

    Please show the evidence voting by mail is more prone to cheating, and then >> offer an alternative for those who are disabled in ways they cannot travel >> well.


    Gee Wiz, No one ever tell out about
    getting ballots for former residents
    of their houses? And on and on and on
    and so forth.

    So you have no evidence. OK.



    Everyone show ID.
    Everyone show up to vote, except those
    that have applied for absentee ballots.

    Which is vote by mail. By the way, many in the military use that. You are
    seeking to deny many in he military a chance to vote.

    You are vastly confusing "solicited" absentee
    ballots with unsolicited ballots mailed out
    in bulk.

    I use vote by mail every election. No issue.


    By the way, I voted absentee ballots in the
    military all the time. Big, big difference between
    absentee ballots and cheat-by-mail.

    So you vote by mail but do not want others to. And you are the only one here who has suggested you did some cheating by mail.



    No more electronic voting. No more
    dead people voting. No more cheating.

    You have not made the case that an ID reduces cheating.

    Oh and add no more ballot harvesting too.

    And yes I did.

    You made that up.

    taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. Infrastructure question,

    Because people like you don't care about facts or reality in your echo chambers. You get a shock when you meet real people who actually know about stuff. I'm a member of the UK Royal Statistical Society and understand the difference between correlation and cause and effect.

    Try reading this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation

    Now, just to be clear, I'm not saying there can't be a direct link between crime figures and police numbers, but it needs a lot more real evidence
    than simply saying one number went up so another goes down in a particular case.

    The causes of crime are far more complex than not enough police. But as a right-wing conservative you probably won't understand that.

    But that has nothing to do with race.

    Direct video of some of his racist crap. And another:

    https://youtu.be/YkBBNU8c-xU

    So now hating criminals is suddenly racists?

    Well educated blacks have a tremendous advantage?
    Yes they do. A 80% qualified black will get
    hired over a white in a second. Conservative Black
    commentates talk about this all the time. I have
    seen it too when I worked in aerospace.

    I had this happen to me once. I tried to get hired
    at General Dynamics at a job opening ran by a Sergent
    I had worked for in the Air Force. He know my work
    and I highly respected him as I knew his work too.
    Try as he may, I was passed over because I was white.
    And I know this to be the case because the Sergeant
    told me so. And he really went all out to try to
    get me hired too. Oh ya, and he was black himself.

    Is the above a racists statement to you? It is
    definitely politically incorrect, but that
    does not make it racist. Am I a racists
    becasue I wanted to work for a man based on
    his character?

    It seems to me that actually talking about race
    is proof of racism to you.

    What I saw, was someone willing to talk about
    race that was also willing to defy political
    correctness.

    Two years ago at a fishing hole, whist her husband
    was fishing and she was reading a book, I walked
    up to the wife and asked her how her husband's
    luck (at catching fish, if you missed it) was doing.
    When I walked up to her, she was frightened. But
    immediately calmed down when she saw I was just
    being friendly. Then I proceeded to talk to her
    husband about fishing.

    Who told these people to be frightened of a old
    white man? There in lies the real racists.

    At a store I shop, I rather like having conversations
    with an employee that is black. Not because he is
    black, there are blacks working there too, but
    becasue of his character. Is is very warm and very
    insightful. I love his insights. When I asked about
    if he was working one day, it turn out that there
    are three other employees there with the same first
    name. I said "the black guy". The white employee
    recoiled "in fear". But pointed me to him. The next
    time I saw my fried, I told him about it. He told
    me "well we just about ran out of distinguishing
    features" (I love this guy!)

    I told his that next time I am going to really screw
    with their minds and say "the good looking one".
    Made him laugh pretty good. I also told him that
    they were being told that they were doing something
    bad to him based on the skin color they are born
    with. (In case you missed it, that would be the
    extremely racist Critical Race Theory.)

    Was anything I said in the above racist? Most
    certainly politically incorrect, but was it racist?


    Now that was your standard. An absurd one that excludes his racist tweets and more, but whatever.

    Your standard was trivial to meet.

    But you will not change your mind. Video proof will not be enough.


    Snit, you show actual racists and not political
    incorrectness and I will stand shoulder to shoulder
    with you against it. I follow Christian teaching,
    which is that God created us all in his image and
    likeness. And the teachings of a certain Republican
    Christian preacher that mayrtered who stated the following:

    https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm

    And so even though we face the difficulties of today
    and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream
    deeply rooted in the American dream.

    I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up
    and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We
    hold these truths to be self-evident, that all
    men are created equal."

    I have a dream that one day on the red hills of
    Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons
    of former slave owners will be able to sit down
    together at the table of brotherhood.

    I have a dream that one day even the state
    of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the
    heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat
    of oppression, will be transformed into an
    oasis of freedom and justice.

    I have a dream that my four little children
    will one day live in a nation where they will
    not be judged by the color of their skin but
    by the content of their character.

    I have a dream today!

    I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama,
    with its vicious racists, with its governor
    having his lips dripping with the words of
    "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day
    right there in Alabama little black boys and
    black girls will be able to join hands with
    little white boys and white girls as sisters
    and brothers.

    I have a dream today!

    I have a dream that one day every valley shall
    be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall
    be made low, the rough places will be made plain,
    and the crooked places will be made straight;
    "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed
    and all flesh shall see it together."


    This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go
    back to the South with.

    With this faith, we will be able to hew out of
    the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With
    this faith, we will be able to transform the
    jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful
    symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will
    be able to work together, to pray together, to
    struggle together, to go to jail together, to
    stand up for freedom together, knowing that we
    will be free one day.

    And this will be the day -- this will be the day
    when all of God's children will be able to sing
    with new meaning:

    My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of
    thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of
    the Pilgrim's pride, From every mountainside,
    let freedom ring!

    And if America is to be a great nation, this must
    become true.

    And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops
    of New Hampshire.

    Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New
    York.

    Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies
    of Pennsylvania.

    Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of
    Colorado.

    Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of
    California.

    But not only that:

    Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.

    Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

    Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of
    Mississippi.

    From every mountainside, let freedom ring.


    Judging folks based on their character, how their skin
    color. What a concept. What Rev King spoke of is
    what I follow and what the overwhelming majority of
    Christians and follow. Yes there will be a few
    knuckleheads here and there, but they do not
    represent us.

    Rev. Kings teaching stand in stark opposition to
    extremely racist Critical Race Theory where whites
    are told they are doing something terrible to
    others based solely on their birth and non whites
    are told they can't succeed because of what whites
    are doing to them.


    Oh Rev. King also considered homosexuality to be sinful
    behavior too. Run you image of Dr. King?


    Keep in mind the Wokies call anyone they disagree
    with racists.

    You made that up.

    Did I now. How about you go and re-listen to one
    of those link you gave me:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpyGDdYGaPc

    Trump not being politically incorrect and
    not playing identity politics makes him a racist?



    Just turn on MSNBC. This is what you will hear:
    Racist racist blah blah racists blah racist
    blah racist racist blah ...

    And if you are in the mood, check out the racism
    articles over on:

    https://cpusa.org/?ssearch=what+is+racism&fq=any&sort=score&order=desc&submit=Submit



    Someone even called me a racist on this group!

    You really should listen to what blacks in the conservative movement
    THAT HAVE WORKED WITH Trump have said about Trump:

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/03/19/ben_carson_ive_interacted_with_racist_people_trump_is_not_one_of_them.html

    DR. BEN CARSON, SECRETARY, HOUSE AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT:

    There is a *narrative* that's being painted there,
    but I've had an opportunity to interact with
    racist people throughout my life. And he is not
    one. He is so easy to be around, so relaxed,
    and treats you with the utmost respect.

    And I talked with him early on about the plight
    of many people, particularly in the inner-city,
    and the compassion that he showed is very
    impressive. But he doesn't wear it on his
    sleeve. He believes that a rising tide lifts
    all boats. *And he doesn't go around playing
    identity politics*. He says, he just let's fix
    this so everybody does well.

    Can look up some videos where homosexuality is discussed in churches. Or do you accept there is a lot of bigotry there?



    Christians and every other religion, except liberalism,
    considers homosexuality to be immoral behavior. Mutilating
    your body also applies.

    That this conflicts with your morality, does not make it
    bigotry.

    That you morality is different from ours, does that make
    you a bigot?

    Do you see ANY Christians persecuting homosexuals over this?
    Being disappointed in ones behavior is not bigotry. Loving
    and praying for lost souls is not bigotry.

    By the way, we Christians do realize that we are all
    sinners and have a rough road ahead of us turning
    that around. So we do not stand in judgement of
    those around us, including those that advertise it.

    Wanting something good for someone else is not bigotry.

    Hate the sin; love the sinner.

    You don't know many Christians do you?

    If you are thinking those obnoxious ones ringing
    your door bell, they are usually not Christians.

    The Jehovah's Witness (JW's) do not believe Jesus is
    the god of the burning bush and the holy spirit
    is not part of god. JW's follow Arian Heresy (Arius
    for the 4th century, not the master race). So not
    Christian.

    The Mormons believe Jesus was literally one of the
    multiple god's offspring. Gods with human failing
    that exist in nature, not created nature. They
    are Hellenists, despite reusing Christian names
    for them. So not Christian. (Christians are
    monotheists.)

    Christians are commanded to evangelize with gentleness
    and reverence. Religion is caught, not taught.
    We don't always get it right though.

    Now as far as those truly good people outside the
    church, only God knows the heart. They may not know
    God, God knows them. They probably have an easier
    path to heaven than those of us that are suppose
    to know better.

    Christians and every other religion, except liberalism,
    considers homosexuality to be immoral behavior.

    That sentence does not flow. You included a liberalism as a religion. That is silly. Heck, there are liberal Christians and the majority of US Jews are liberal.

    Oh, and most Jews in the US have no issue with homosexuality. And many Christians do not. There is nothing immoral about being a homosexual.

    Mutilating
    your body also applies.

    So no tattoos? No piercings? No drinking? No junk food?

    That this conflicts with your morality, does not make it
    bigotry.

    The fact that it is bigoted against gays makes it, by definition, bigotry.

    Collins: Bigotry is the possession or expression of strong, unreasonable prejudices or opinions

    There is nothing reasonable about being anti-gay.

    That you morality is different from ours, does that make
    you a bigot?

    That is not a sufficient description. No. You can, for example be anti-choice or pro-abortion (as many on the right are) and it need not be bigoted. I think my pro-choice / anti-abortion stance is more defensible, but that is neither here nor there.

    Do you see ANY Christians persecuting homosexuals over this?

    Yes.

    Being disappointed in ones behavior is not bigotry. Loving
    and praying for lost souls is not bigotry.

    Denouncing someone for being gay is bigotry.

    Just as denouncing someone for being black would be.

    By the way, we Christians do realize that we are all
    sinners and have a rough road ahead of us turning
    that around. So we do not stand in judgement of
    those around us, including those that advertise it.

    Not sure why you jumped from homosexuality to sin... unless you are counting homosexuality as a sin. Which would be odd.

    Wanting something good for someone else is not bigotry.

    Hate the sin; love the sinner.

    You don't know many Christians do you?

    I am in the US. Hard not to!

    If you are thinking those obnoxious ones ringing
    your door bell, they are usually not Christians.

    JWs are a group of Christians.

    The Jehovah's Witness (JW's) do not believe Jesus is
    the god of the burning bush and the holy spirit
    is not part of god. JW's follow Arian Heresy (Arius
    for the 4th century, not the master race). So not
    Christian.

    In your view... just as many Orthodox Jews do not accept Reform Jews as
    Jewish.

    Religion tends to be quite divisive.

    The Mormons believe Jesus was literally one of the
    multiple god's offspring. Gods with human failing
    that exist in nature, not created nature. They
    are Hellenists, despite reusing Christian names
    for them. So not Christian. (Christians are
    monotheists.)

    Catholics believe in three gods. In one. Which never really makes much sense.
    A god has a son who is him who dies a non-death for the sake of others? What?

    Hey, people can believe what they wish... but that really is not a logical believe.

    Christians are commanded to evangelize with gentleness
    and reverence. Religion is caught, not taught.
    We don't always get it right though.

    I say religion is like a penis. It's nice to have one and fine to be proud of. Don't whip it out in public or shove it down someone else's throat. :)

    Now as far as those truly good people outside the
    church, only God knows the heart. They may not know

    Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

    They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

    If you wish to change my mind,

    Given how you show little interest in evidence and instead go with you just >> know... I doubt there is any real chance your mind will change.

    offer me video evidence in Trump's own
    words of him acting like a racists.

    Trivia to do... the idea a black man could be a "real" American, or even born
    in America, even with a birth certificate to prove it... Trump could not
    accept it:

    https://youtu.be/qQFjHcY5RFM

    I have heard him say that several times. There
    are some questions about Obama's birth certificate.
    But that has nothing to do with race.

    The whole point was that he was not "American" enough... which was tied to the idea a black man cannot be an "American". What white person, born in one of
    the 50 states, has been told that is not enough to make them "American" and they must be from Africa?

    None. There was never any merit to the surface level nonsense, it was all
    about race.

    But you will reject that. So another video:

    https://youtu.be/xpyGDdYGaPc

    Two or three words snippets and he is a racist?

    If it was just one or two of those, or three, you might be able to excuse it. The point is it is a strong pattern.

    By that standard, is Biden a racist too?

    Biden: "Obama is Clean & Articulate" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJSfBKQA_KQ

    It was certainly an inappropriate thing to say. And, yes, I would say is tied to the racial inequality in the country. I do not excuse Biden for that. That does not mean he says such things with as strong of a pattern (though that is not the only example from him).

    Direct video of some of his racist crap. And another:

    https://youtu.be/YkBBNU8c-xU

    So now hating criminals is suddenly racists?

    I would prefer to focus on the video, but curious where you get that from.

    Well educated blacks have a tremendous advantage?
    Yes they do. A 80% qualified black will get
    hired over a white in a second. Conservative Black
    commentates talk about this all the time. I have
    seen it too when I worked in aerospace.

    I would give a link to them all, to save space, but you fear Apple will share your IP with me (?)... so here:

    Regression analyses confirmed that police used less force with highly stereotypical Whites, and this protective effect was stronger than the effect for non-Whites. Results suggest that intragroup bias is a protective factor
    for Whites, but not for non-Whites, providing an additional route through
    which racial disparities in policing operate.

    That racially disparate crime rate is an insufficient explanation of racially disparate use of force rates for this sample of police departments. Given that these departments range widely in size and represent urban cities, suburban counties, and transportation police in geographically diverse jurisdictions, the results are suggestive that these findings may generalize beyond the sample.

    The results provide evidence of a significant bias in the killing of unarmed black Americans relative to unarmed white Americans, in that the probability
    of being {black, unarmed, and shot by police} is about 3.49 times the probability of being {white, unarmed, and shot by police} on average. Furthermore, the results of multi-level modeling show that there exists significant heterogeneity across counties in the extent of racial bias in police shootings, with some counties showing relative risk ratios of 20 to 1
    or more. Finally, analysis of police shooting data as a function of county-level predictors suggests that racial bias in police shootings is most likely to emerge in police departments in larger metropolitan counties with
    low median incomes and a sizable portion of black residents, especially when there is high financial inequality in that county. There is no relationship between county-level racial bias in police shootings and crime rates (even race-specific crime rates), meaning that the racial bias observed in police shootings in this data set is not explainable as a response to local-level crime rates.

    While the SFPD’s policies prohibiting biased policing are in line with best practices, available statistics indicate racial disparities in its stops, searches, and arrests. Black and Hispanic people are more likely to be

    and Hispanic people had the lowest “hit rates” (i.e., the rate at which searches found contraband).

    blacks and Hispanics are stopped about twice as often as whites.

    We found that black drivers were less likely to be stopped after sunset, when
    a ‘veil of darkness’ masks one’s race, suggesting bias in stop decisions. Furthermore, by examining the rate at which stopped drivers were searched and the likelihood that searches turned up contraband, we found evidence that the bar for searching black and Hispanic drivers was lower than that for searching white drivers. Finally, we found that legalization of recreational marijuana reduced the number of searches of white, black and Hispanic drivers—but the bar for searching black and Hispanic drivers was still lower than that for white drivers post-legalization. Our results indicate that police stops and search decisions suffer from persistent racial bias and point to the value of policy interventions to mitigate these disparities.

    Black boys raised in America, even in the wealthiest families and living in some of the most well-to-do neighborhoods, still earn less in adulthood than white boys with similar backgrounds, according to a sweeping new study that traced the lives of millions of children.

    White boys who grow up rich are likely to remain that way. Black boys raised
    at the top, however, are more likely to become poor than to stay wealthy in their own adult households.

    The research makes clear that there is something unique about the obstacles black males face. The gap between Hispanics and whites is narrower, and their incomes will converge within a couple of generations if mobility stays the same. Asian-Americans earn more than whites raised at the same income level,
    or about the same when first-generation immigrants are excluded. Only Native Americans have an income gap comparable to African-Americans. But the disparities are widest for black boys.

    be ruled justified (1.2 percent). The findings also revealed that for White-on-Black, Black-on-Black, and White-on-White homicides, the presence of
    a stand your ground law was associated with a statistically significant increase in the likelihood that these homicides would be ruled justified,
    while the change in likelihood for Black-on-White homicides was not significant. The study also used the attributes from the Trayvon Martin case
    to determine the effects of race on homicide rulings and found the following attributes – single shooter, single victim, both male, both are strangers, and
    use of a firearm – contributed significantly to the presence of racial disparities in rulings of justifiable homicide.

    The findings from the study indicate that race plays a significant factor in justifiable homicide rulings, and that this effect increases in States with stand your ground laws.

    I had this happen to me once. I tried to get hired
    at General Dynamics at a job opening ran by a Sergent
    I had worked for in the Air Force. He know my work
    and I highly respected him as I knew his work too.
    Try as he may, I was passed over because I was white.
    And I know this to be the case because the Sergeant
    told me so. And he really went all out to try to
    get me hired too. Oh ya, and he was black himself.

    See the studies. The idea blacks have some big advantage is not held up by evidence.

    Is the above a racists statement to you? It is
    definitely politically incorrect, but that
    does not make it racist. Am I a racists
    becasue I wanted to work for a man based on
    his character?

    It seems to me that actually talking about race
    is proof of racism to you.

    To speak of racism is racist? No. I think we need to understand the evidence. How else can we work to make things better?

    What I saw, was someone willing to talk about
    race that was also willing to defy political
    correctness.

    Two years ago at a fishing hole, whist her husband
    was fishing and she was reading a book, I walked
    up to the wife and asked her how her husband's
    luck (at catching fish, if you missed it) was doing.
    When I walked up to her, she was frightened. But
    immediately calmed down when she saw I was just
    being friendly. Then I proceeded to talk to her
    husband about fishing.

    Who told these people to be frightened of a old
    white man? There in lies the real racists.

    There is a lot of racial inequality and it impacts pretty much all of us in this country (and more).

    At a store I shop, I rather like having conversations
    with an employee that is black. Not because he is
    black, there are blacks working there too, but
    becasue of his character. Is is very warm and very
    insightful. I love his insights. When I asked about
    if he was working one day, it turn out that there
    are three other employees there with the same first
    name. I said "the black guy". The white employee
    recoiled "in fear". But pointed me to him. The next
    time I saw my fried, I told him about it. He told
    me "well we just about ran out of distinguishing
    features" (I love this guy!)

    I have no issue with using that as a distinguishing feature... though I do
    know some who do.

    I told his that next time I am going to really screw
    with their minds and say "the good looking one".
    Made him laugh pretty good. I also told him that
    they were being told that they were doing something
    bad to him based on the skin color they are born
    with. (In case you missed it, that would be the
    extremely racist Critical Race Theory.)

    How do you figure? Critical Race Theory does not say anyone has to be bad to anyone else. CRT looks at how "laws, social and political movements, and media shape, and are shaped by, social conceptions of race and ethnicity".

    Was anything I said in the above racist? Most
    certainly politically incorrect, but was it racist?

    Not as you describe it. No. But it also does not make the evidence of racial inequality go away.

    Oh, and this does not mean it is from whites against blacks. It is a part of the culture. Give a black child a black doll and a white doll. Which do they prefer. Most often the white one.

    https://youtu.be/ybDa0gSuAcg

    They have done this study many times... and those results are seen over and over.

    Now that was your standard. An absurd one that excludes his racist tweets and
    more, but whatever.

    Your standard was trivial to meet.

    But you will not change your mind. Video proof will not be enough.

    Snit, you show actual racists and not political
    incorrectness and I will stand shoulder to shoulder
    with you against it.

    Trump is quite openly racist. Biden also has some concerning comments.

    I follow Christian teaching,
    which is that God created us all in his image and
    likeness. And the teachings of a certain Republican
    Christian preacher that mayrtered who stated the following:

    https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm

    And so even though we face the difficulties of today
    and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream
    deeply rooted in the American dream.

    I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up
    and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We
    hold these truths to be self-evident, that all
    men are created equal."

    I have a dream that one day on the red hills of
    Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons
    of former slave owners will be able to sit down
    together at the table of brotherhood.

    I have a dream that one day even the state
    of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the
    heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat
    of oppression, will be transformed into an
    oasis of freedom and justice.

    I have a dream that my four little children
    will one day live in a nation where they will
    not be judged by the color of their skin but
    by the content of their character.

    I have a dream today!

    I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama,
    with its vicious racists, with its governor
    having his lips dripping with the words of
    "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day
    right there in Alabama little black boys and
    black girls will be able to join hands with
    little white boys and white girls as sisters
    and brothers.

    I have a dream today!

    I have a dream that one day every valley shall
    be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall
    be made low, the rough places will be made plain,
    and the crooked places will be made straight;
    "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed
    and all flesh shall see it together."


    This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go
    back to the South with.

    With this faith, we will be able to hew out of
    the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With
    this faith, we will be able to transform the
    jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful
    symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will
    be able to work together, to pray together, to
    struggle together, to go to jail together, to
    stand up for freedom together, knowing that we
    will be free one day.

    And this will be the day -- this will be the day
    when all of God's children will be able to sing
    with new meaning:

    My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of
    thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of
    the Pilgrim's pride, From every mountainside,
    let freedom ring!

    And if America is to be a great nation, this must
    become true.

    And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops
    of New Hampshire.

    Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New
    York.

    Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies
    of Pennsylvania.

    Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of
    Colorado.

    Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of
    California.

    But not only that:

    Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.

    Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

    Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of
    Mississippi.

    From every mountainside, let freedom ring.


    Judging folks based on their character, how their skin
    color. What a concept.

    I back that. The evidence shows people of different races are not treated the same.

    What Rev King spoke of is
    what I follow and what the overwhelming majority of
    Christians and follow. Yes there will be a few
    knuckleheads here and there, but they do not
    represent us.

    Rev. Kings teaching stand in stark opposition to
    extremely racist Critical Race Theory where whites
    are told they are doing something terrible to
    others based solely on their birth and non whites
    are told they can't succeed because of what whites
    are doing to them.

    Please quote the parts of CRT which you think say this.

    Oh Rev. King also considered homosexuality to be sinful
    behavior too. Run you image of Dr. King?

    One cannot fully judge someone of a different time by today's understandings, but anyone who denounces homosexuals is wrong. It is a form of bigotry.

    Keep in mind the Wokies call anyone they disagree
    with racists.

    You made that up.

    Yes. One can disagree in many ways that are not tied to race.

    How about you go and re-listen to one
    of those link you gave me:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpyGDdYGaPc

    Trump not being politically incorrect and
    not playing identity politics makes him a racist?

    It has nothing to do with political correctness... it about racial devision
    and mocking and the like. Yeah, he is pretty openly racist.

    There is a reason he earned the support of the KKK and Neo-Nazis.

    Just turn on MSNBC. This is what you will hear:
    Racist racist blah blah racists blah racist
    blah racist racist blah ...

    And if you are in the mood, check out the racism
    articles over on:

    https://cpusa.org/?ssearch=what+is+racism&fq=any&sort=score&order=desc&submit=Submit

    Can you be more specific on what you deem racist?

    Someone even called me a racist on this group!

    You really should listen to what blacks in the conservative movement
    THAT HAVE WORKED WITH Trump have said about Trump:

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/03/19/ben_carson_ive_interacted_with_racist_people_trump_is_not_one_of_them.html

    DR. BEN CARSON, SECRETARY, HOUSE AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT:

    There is a *narrative* that's being painted there,
    but I've had an opportunity to interact with
    racist people throughout my life. And he is not
    one. He is so easy to be around, so relaxed,
    and treats you with the utmost respect.

    And I talked with him early on about the plight
    of many people, particularly in the inner-city,
    and the compassion that he showed is very
    impressive. But he doesn't wear it on his
    sleeve. He believes that a rising tide lifts
    all boats. *And he doesn't go around playing
    identity politics*. He says, he just let's fix
    this so everybody does well.

    if you post videos of that, I will look at them too

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FR_PvGfzcQ

    It starts with example of American Pravda

    That is a Russian paper, not American.

    Russian Pravda is Russian. American Pravda is
    American.

    American Pravda is the propaganda wing of
    the democrat party. They are not the news
    or the truth.

    As they use to say in the old Soviet empire:

    "There is no Pravda (truth) in the news and
    no Izvestia (news) in Pravda"

    The difference between American Pravda and Soviet
    Pravda is that American Pravda gave up their
    journalistic integrity on purpose.

    It was certainly an inappropriate thing to say. And, yes, I would say is tied to the racial inequality in the country. I do not excuse Biden for that. That does not mean he says such things with as strong of a pattern (though that is not the only example from him).

    It starts with example of American Pravda

    That is a Russian paper, not American.
    Russian Pravda is Russian. American Pravda is
    American.

    American Pravda is the propaganda wing of
    the democrat party. They are not the news
    or the truth.

    As they use to say in the old Soviet empire:

    "There is no Pravda (truth) in the news and
    no Izvestia (news) in Pravda"

    So what is Fox news ?


    The difference between American Pravda and Soviet
    Pravda is that American Pravda gave up their
    journalistic integrity on purpose.

    Why are you using russian words ?
    Pravda in the ENGLISH language means "The truth that seems evident on the surface"


    A great saying on tolerance:

    Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent
    people will be banned from thinking so as not
    to offend the imbeciles.

    QUESTION: Do you think that the -- what you call the alt-left is the
    same as neo-Nazis?

    TRUMP: Those people -- all of those people -- excuse me. I’ve
    condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all
    of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people
    were white supremacists, by any stretch. Those people were also there
    because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, Robert E.
    Lee. So -- excuse me. And you take a look at some of the groups and
    you see -- and you’d know it if you were honest reporters, which in
    many cases you’re not, but many of those people were there to protest
    the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. So this week it’s
    Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson’s coming down. I
    wonder, is it George Washington next week? And is it Thomas Jefferson
    the week after? You know, you all -- you really do have to ask
    yourself, where does it stop? But they were there to protest -- excuse
    me. You take a look, the night before, they were there to protest the
    taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. Infrastructure question,
    go ahead.

    QUESTION: Should the statue of Robert E. Lee stay up?

    TRUMP: I would say that’s up to a local town, community, or the
    federal government, depending on where it is located.
    <<<

    Your link proves that Trump is a white nationalist figure.

    Joel,

    You did not read far enough. He condemned the
    the racists/white nationalist/neo nazis. He
    also condemned antifa.

    And the part you quoted, he also condemned them.
    You are reaching to try to justify a lie.

    He is not a "white nationalist". that is
    a propaganda narrative.

    He did. And birth announcements were shown. It was deemed a huge scam -- going back to his birth? And the Republican governor of Hawaii verified the birth certificate.

    Obama was targeted because of his skin color, went above and beyond showing more evidence than -- s far as I know -- any other presidential candidate, and yet many on the right still insisted a black man born in Hawaii was not a "real" American.

    Meanwhile those same people had no issue with Trump not showing his taxes -- something that is not dictated but has been standard for candidates for a long time.

    Trump openly called out to the Proud Boys. He retweeted White Nationalists videos.

    It is not like he really works to hide this... though when he gets in trouble he gives some lip service to denounce his own actions.

    Not sure what religion has to do with this.

    Well, I did see something about religion that might. Before you suggested liberals see themselves as their own gods... I think. Something like that. But that is what Psalms says... not liberalism.

    Ever read Psalm 82:6?

    The bible: "You are gods".

    There goes the idea of monotheism... according to the Bible we are all gods. And it makes reference to others ones elsewhere:

    Ex. 12.12

    "Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgements"

    All other gods? Wow. That is odd, eh?

    Wrong.

    Nothing in his news conference pointed
    to that. You are repeating a smear.

    Try arguing with him over the issues. Or
    is that against your religion?


    Trump is Hitler reincarnated, "Christians" are insane to think that
    he's doing the Lord's work, you are a fool if you are duped by that.



    Who is the fool Joel? Someone that repeats
    Propaganda Narrative and has his mind so closed
    it could be used as a bear trap.

    Hitler was a socialist/marxist. He took over
    control of all private companies and dictated
    every aspect of their business. Company owners
    were in name only.

    Trump decrease regulations and increased freedom.
    You are accusing Trump of an outright lie.

    So who is the fool Joel? Any other propaganda and
    smears you leave out? End justify the means?

    He did. And birth announcements were shown. It was deemed a huge scam -- going

    Obama was targeted because of his skin color, went above and beyond showing more evidence than -- s far as I know -- any other presidential candidate, and

    I have seen the analysis of the Hawaii certificate.
    It was clearly a fake.

    And race had nothing to do with it. You guys
    always play the race card when you have no real
    argument.

    Also, Obama was not black. He was mixed race,
    not that that matters. He was half white and
    half black.

    Meanwhile those same people had no issue with Trump not showing his taxes -- something that is not dictated but has been standard for candidates for a long
    time.

    The IRS had all his stuff. Of there was anything wrong
    with them, they would have prosecuted.

    What you guys did was misuse congressional subpoena
    to release his taxes to the public in order to damage
    his business. And oh yes, congress was suppose to keep
    them private too. Ya. One law for the Democrats and
    one law for the rest of us.

    there is no censorship on the web search engines.

    that's just yet another baseless conspiracy theory, along with the
    easily debunked claim that obama's birth certificate was fake.

    That was certainly not the point. And it

    They point was that Obama may not have been

    "No person except a natural born Citizen, or

    It look awfully fake to me.

    My DD-214 looks fake too, but it isn't, and it came to me as an

    Trump openly called out to the Proud Boys.

    The Proud Boys were smears a lot. They are a mens
    group open to all races.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proud_Boys
    -----
    The Proud Boys is an American far-right, neo-fascist, and exclusively male organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States.[1][9][10] It has been called a street gang[11][12] and was designated as a terrorist group in Canada[13][14] and New Zealand.[8] The Proud Boys are known for their opposition to left-wing and progressive groups and their support for former U.S. President Donald Trump.[1][10]
    ...
    Women and trans men are not allowed to join the Proud Boys,[41] and the
    unnamed president of Proud Boys L.A. told the Los Angeles Times the group admits only "biological men".[77]

    According to the organization, their loyalty oath includes a statement along the lines of "I'm a proud Western chauvinist, I refuse to apologize for creating the modern world" and a pledge not to masturbate.[25][81][82][83][84][85] The masturbation policy was later modified to read: "no heterosexual brother of the Fraternity shall masturbate more than one time in any calendar month" and "all members shall abstain from pornography".[86]
    ...
    The Justice Department announced on February 3, 2021, that two Proud Boys members had been indicted for conspiracy.[35] Five more individuals affiliated with the Proud Boys were charged with conspiracy on February 11, followed by six more on February 26.[223][224] Federal grand jury conspiracy indictments
    of others followed.[225] Federal prosecutors considered pursuing charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, typically used to prosecute organized crime syndicates.[226]
    ...
    Members of the Proud Boys can be identified by their use of black and yellow Fred Perry polo shirts, American flags, MAGA hats, and military armor. Members often carry guns.

    That is what you are defending.


    But you knew that?
    American Pravda tell you that?

    I know of no group with that name, and neither do you. You simply are babbling nonsense. As you do. No wonder you and Carroll get along so well!



    He retweeted White Nationalists videos.

    Only in your imagination. You are smearing him.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53212685

    Of course he did. But you defend him. You side with him.


    It is not like he really works to hide this... though when he gets in trouble
    he gives some lip service to denounce his own actions.

    Try arguing with him over the issues. Or
    is that against your religion?

    Not sure what religion has to do with this.

    Well, I did see something about religion that might. Before you suggested
    liberals see themselves as their own gods... I think. Something like that. But
    that is what Psalms says... not liberalism.

    Ever read https://media.townhall.com/cdn/hodl/cartoons/cb022223dAPR-800x0.jpg?

    The bible: "You are gods".

    Well how about your read the whole thing?

    You assume I have not. You do so incorrectly. What you are doing is working to reinterpret it. It is not a consistent text, nor is it one that teaches morality. Does not mean people cannot find passages in it which do, but
    overall it does not. One has to read into it their own morals.

    You are deliberately misinterpreting the bible.
    Those are false gods that do not exist.

    It does not say "false gods". It says "gods". You are altering the text of the Bible to make your own meaning.


    But you knew that, didn't you?

    Psalm 82:6

    God presides in the great assembly; he renders
    judgment among the “gods”: How long will you a
    defend the unjust and show partiality to the
    wicked? Defend the weak and the fatherless;
    uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
    Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from
    the hand of the wicked. “The ‘gods’ know nothing,
    they understand nothing. They walk about in
    darkness; all the foundations of the earth
    are shaken. I said, ‘You are “gods”; you
    are all sons of the Most High.’ But you will
    die like mere mortals; you will fall like
    every other ruler.” Rise up, O God, judge
    the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.

    Nothing about false gods. In fact, it speaks of God judging among the gods. Multiple.

    There goes the idea of monotheism... according to the Bible we are all gods. >> And it makes reference to others ones elsewhere:

    Ex. 12.12

    "Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgements"

    All other gods? Wow. That is odd, eh?


    And how about you read the whole thing,

    You assume again I have not. You make lots of bad assumptions.

    instead
    of deliberately misinterpreting them?

    I am noting what it says. You do not like it. You do not like the Bible. OK.


    Ex. 12.12
    For I will pass through the land of Egypt this
    night, and will smite all the firstborn in the
    land of Egypt,

    Wow. What an evil protagonist. Damn. So you quote where God is killing
    innocent babies. That is gonna be hard for you to defend.

    both man and beast; and against
    all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment:
    I am the Lord.

    Thanks for noting how he kills innocent babies in the Bible.


    The "gods of Egypt" are false gods. Not the real one.

    You made that up. It is not in the original text.

    Here is what Christians and Jews believe.

    I am a Jew. Do not tell me how I have to believe. And there are Christians who are not immoral like you. You do not speak or all Christians.

    And God spoke all these words:

    “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of
    Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

    But killed innocent babies to do it, according to what you quoted!

    “You shall have no other gods before me.

    Wow. So back to having multiple gods. Yeah. There goes the idea of only one.

    “You shall not make for yourself an image in the
    form of anything in heaven above or on the earth
    beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow
    down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord
    your God, am a jealous God,

    Jealous? A god being jealous. Of other gods! From what you say he is very
    petty and insecure!

    punishing the children
    for the sin of the parents to the third and
    fourth generation of those who hate me,
    but showing love to a thousand generations of
    those who love me and keep my commandments.

    Punishing not just innocent babies but babies not even born yet.

    Wow. You describe him as very abusive!


    Snit. Please stop with the religious bigotry.

    I am noting what YOU are saying about the Bible. From what YOU show, he kills innocent babies and punishes ones not even born. Not even conceived. And he is jealous and insecure.

    Not a very good showing for your Bible and the protagonist.

    half black.

    This is true... but as a bias of our culture that is seen as black.

    This is not in contention but does not counter what I said. What I said is simply a fact. And the fact others had it does not mean the public had access.

    What you guys did was misuse congressional subpoena

    not to worry, because there's a trial this october, which is not going
