  1. What’s the fastest flying insect in the world?
  2. Not completely accurate. Genesis 7:2–3 (ESV) 2 Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, 3 and seven pairs of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth.
  3. There was no blame before there was an agenda. Use to call those events an act of God. That may not be so acceptable these days because that would be acknowledging there is actually a God.
  4. Could he be charged with fleeing the scene? Is he a possible felon? Should be no charges either way in my opinion.
  5. Just to be fair, there’s probably a list of republicans as well that are benefiting from the cover up.
  6. The issue for the majority with both races is probably laziness and lack of motivation. All because our system provides enough poverty support that they don’t have to try. Free to assisted living, free food, utility assistance, public transportation, free phones, etc. People can get by with little to no effort. Our government has created this. Of course there are plenty of physical, mental and hardship cases but they are probably the minority.
  7. Dang. Now I see why you do so many tournaments. You do a lot of eating. I thought you just loved basketball.
  8. We could go on all day about unfair laws and split hairs about scenarios. I can agree with many unfair laws. We are willing to trade an arms dealer to free someone on marijuana charges. Shouldn’t we free Americans in prison for the same type offense? You may want to ask a predator how they can groom a vulnerable seventeen year old with low self esteem. While you view a seventeen year old mature enough to engage in a consensual relationship with a teacher, our laws do not consider them mature enough to drink or smoke or purchase either. If we are going one way or the another on stupid or unfair laws I would lean more to the protection of the student rather than an adult that should know better. Once again, I would have no problem if some laws were tweaked to be more fair on the side common since.
  9. Another example. A teacher or a coach likes young girls/women and has daily access to hundreds of students a every day. Access to students in an institution that should be committed to the students protection. This teacher/coach has daily opportunity to pick and groom the vulnerable. Hard to draw a line between two scenarios. The teacher knows the law and consequences before entering the profession.
  10. I can understand your argument that the law may need some tweaking but I don’t see how your examples relate to this story. She is 32 and I didn’t see his age. I do understand and agree with the law in general to help protect out children from predators in the school system.
  11. Yes, I feel I have. White people can be targeted or a victim too. I’d be happy to share examples but I would rather take my own advice and just deal with it. Being accused of unwarranted racism is a form of racism it’s self.
  12. Everyone should know racism has been a problem since biblical times. Anyone that doesn’t see that racism has greatly improved over the last century is in denial. Anyone that thinks racism is no longer a problem is in denial. Anyone that thinks racism is a white thing is blind. Racism exists within all races. We should not confuse racism with prejudice. Not all prejudice is racism. Anyone that thinks racism will ever go away is blind. If you are the target of racism the best way to handle it Is to just deal with it and be determined that no one will determine your worth or your outcome.
  13. I haven’t kept up with the whole thread but I somewhat agree. However, most have taken the time to post (in their mind) credible information supporting their view. Some have even taken the time to read each other’s links. This is better than other topics where they just exchange insults. But you are right, no one will change anyone’s mind. All need to realize that race is a very hot/trigger topic for all sides and need to consider that when posting.
  14. Prayers to you for a speedy recovery oldtimer
  15. How bout keeping politics out of the celebration of Christ.
  16. How many of us would be OK with someone posting your tax return in the Sunday paper?
  17. I saw a meme that said Rather than looking into the tax return of a millionaire turned public servant, why don’t you look into the tax returns of the public servants that turned into millionaires.
