It's an absolute absurdity that Pelosi isn't in prison for fraud and insider trading. And that our politicians who make a couple $100K a year are all worth tens of millions because they explicitly def...

Why you still choose pelosi as your example?

Seems like maybe... I dunno... There is a more glaring... More recent... More... You know... Obviously relevant example you could have referred to... Orders of magnitude IMO

Just seems like pelosi probably isn't the proper selection as poster child for this issue now that she has been outclassed as a market insider manipulator exploiter in your face brag about it bought and paid for politician.

Amazing things happen when you start enforcing The Law… The government’s *only* job is to enforce The Law. The purpose of The Law is to organize for the collective defense of private property. ...

Laws are just an opinion with a gun.

Universal truths are enforced by nature.

No reason to dress people up in a costume and allow them to break the golden rule.

Politics is people trying to scam each other in the name of helping.

Politics is people trying to reframe how they broke and break the golden rule as virtuous.

This phase of yours will pass... The smoker will rust away... The difference in your favorite over priced smoked meat place you can eat at 3 times a year and that smoker/wood gathering/time investment will not pencil in the end.

The proper recommendation is "no new smokers"

Very few people are willing to define “justice” in such a way that allows their side to lose. People demand justice every time something tragic happens, but really they just want their side to win...

A woman that believes she is pregnant stops trying to become pregnant.

The person that believes they are good stops trying to become good.

The majority is not truth seeking. They just want their version of truth to win.

Truth seeking and truth rejecting

To be or not to be...

To purge an illuminated contradiction or to maintain it once it is seen.

To live as a human... Or to walk the earth with the thing that makes you human turned "off"

Dude… calm down it’s just funny.

Clayton 1770498927

Right. I'm to be dismissed. Pointing out the slippery slope and the temptations that immerge when these foundations are laid improperly and fortified with humor and dogma is just me needing to calm down. There is absolutely nothing to learn. You have nothing that you need to purge. You're good... You're funny... I'm not "calm"...right... 👍... Labeling the other person that presents a point as "not calm" or "impervious to humor" is definitely a temptation... But we all know it is lazy.

Do better... The kids will do better.

And one more. This topic is inflammatory because... It leads to the rabbit hole of trying to figure out if you yourself are forgiven! It leads to the question of if you yourself have repented from that same old sin that comes up again and again! It leads to you asking yourself how much effort have YOU made to offer restitution! That is a very scary place to go for MANY MANY people who go around preaching that they have been "forgiven"

And furthermore if it is earned, then it should be paid seven times seventy times. We are to pay what is owed.

Forgiveness for the same offense multiple times is a contradiction. Because if the same offense is being committed then repentance hasn't happened. So whatever you preach to have passed out over and over again for the same transgression is not forgiveness! Call it what you will.
