Discussing politics and religion

Switching gears, California has now introduced the "Feather Alert" only to be used when there is a missing American Indian. It works similar to a "Silver Alert" for a senior citizen, or "Amber Alert" for when a kid is missing. I spoke to a very prominent American Indian friend, one of the high powers for the Choctaw Tribe. She is deeply offended to be singled out for the sake of giving Indians their own alert.

What happens when an Young American Indian with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome goes missing? It will short out the braniacs trying to decide if this person gets an Amber Alert, a Feather Alert, or a Silver Alert!

All I can say is who we have in office is not working, and leading us into a huge civil war. Us versus them, blacks versus white, gay versus straight, Dems versus Repubs. It is sickening.

I hear ya Hav. Breath ! And I’m not being sarcastic. Our brains are in /on hyper vigilant mode, so it seems bigger that it really is…… Who we have in office is never going to be working, so breath that in and lower the vigilance.

The Feather Alert sounds brilliant to me ! Some people for who knows what just have a different opinion about everything. The answer is the big “ T “ word

All the great intellectuals says the only way out is through! That means we need to address issues not ignore them, however I get it, all this Navel Gazing selfishness stuff is frustrating and taxing to our brains ….. Lets as a society stop micromanaging each other and start managing, like the little girl said , POSITIVITY

New York is planning on banning natural gas stoves and furnaces. Natural gas is the cleanest burning option. They want to go all electric. Guess what they will burn to get the electricity, coal and/or natural gas. You can't make this stuff up.

Well if you love Putin remaking the USSR and taking back all the countries again then yer not with the free world. Yer either with us or against us. Remember that line in the sand?

This war proved one thing if nothing. The great Soviet War Machine is weak, can't even take a little country right next to it, and run by crooks and Oligarchs to buy themselves yachts and luxury condos in Europe that pilfer the money that was supposed to be used for the troops.

Another thing it did is unite Finland with NATO. Which is why Puty Putin invaded Ukraine.
F'k the commies.

And Binden just opened up a huge area in Alaska for oil drilling. We can walk and chew gum at the same time. No one energy source or alternative will ever be close to perfect. Don’t make me quote Romans 13/ 1-7 ….. Have a little faith

Really? Then you've never listened to a Trump rally. All the dude spews is hate speech and calls people juvenile names. I'm not particularly a Biden fan, but I'm absolutely NOT a Hillary fan. I voted for the pot head Libertarian dude.
I'm not a one issue voter either.
Not sure where you heard Biden dissing gays vs straight or black vs white but I'd like ya to put up some proof.

That area has been designated a reserve area for future oil reserves. It's not a "Preserve" for animals and habitat.
It's a good idea now that the world won't buy commie Russian oil. More money for us.

As far as NG goes I switched out my shitty heat pump for NG and I love to hear that baby fire up. Heat pumps suck. We almost froze to death one year it hit 18F here.
Gas is the best method for cooking. Electric ovens are best for baking because NG has residual moisture in it that can mess up baking.

I've voted for republicans. But I know snake oil when i hear it. Trump actually said he likes dumb people rather than literate ones because they tend to vote for him.
You’ve got to hand it to Republicans for getting these people to vote directly against their own interests for Millionaire’s tax cuts and directly against policies that would be extremely beneficial to them.

It’s a formula so simple that’s why I’ll never truly understand it:

Step 1: Stir up their fear, hatred, transphobia, xenophobia, racism, religious bigotry and sense of white entitlement with Fox News & other propaganda.
Step 2 : profit.

I guess that's why people will never see eye to eye on some things. Every one of those things is my biggest complaint about liberals.
Their answer to everything is call somebody a racist a xenophobe when they can't find an answer.
They call Trump one for building the border wall. Is he a racist for doing so?
Obama’s 2005 remarks reflect strong stance on controlling immigration

I'm sticking to Panasonic and Marie callender's. That and samwiches is as fancy as I get.
I've never cooked anything on natural gas I didn't know inside the oven that it produced anything but heat. I'm all electric even though there's a 16-in gas main 20 ft from my bedroom window.

Well walls don't work. They just get bigger ladders. Dig tunnels.
We can track people clear around the world. There's no reason for walls.
I have cameras all round my house. I get alerts for fitty feet away and it can distinguish a pig from a human.
I can load a person's pic into it and the facial recognition feature will tell me who it is.

So we should let all these illegals break our laws and ignore it? Most of these people can NOT be recognized by facial recognition. Their face would need to be in the system.

As I said. We track people clear across the world and we can detect movement across the border. We have the technology and use it a little. Not enough.
Repugs won't vote for it. Just walls.
Repugs won't even talk about fixing the broken extremely slow immigration system.
I'm all for legal immigration. We need it to fill the ten million job openings.
And in giving them jobs they help pay for your social security. That socizlist thing y'all hate but still cash.
But repugs don't like brown people cus they think they vote dem. But they don't. Specially them Cubans. They hat e socialism too but love welfare. Ha

They are popping up solar farms all around my area. There’s 3 different ones all within 5 miles of my house. Guess who owns them??? The state!
That’s the main reason they want to outlaw gas. The state has their fingers in electric.

I freaking hate it here in NY!

I understand, It’s strange to me too, however When you change the way you look at things the thing you look at change ( Thanks Dr. Wayne Dyer , RIP ) Try to be open and look deeper, because We are all sentient beings first and sexual beings second. Biologist have proven that nature does what it does, so Maybe we could Stop placing the cart before the horse and see the essence of our fellow men/women ? FIRST.

Try this idea out, turn USA into this acronym ….universal, scientific, anomaly ….. were the essence and gender came out differently than most.

I don’t claim to have the answers to how society manages this, but I can firmly say, if we judge them and deliberately ostracize them, then we are fighting against the natural world of things.

Shit happens in nature and even in human culture that is unusual, SO ! Judge less, and be curious to learn…… Yes it’s uncomfortable to see a middle linebacker man’s body wearing a dress heels and maybe a wig , But they are human beings first, so maybe MAN UP and try to apply some humanity.

I grew up in Portland so that’s not so unusual. I still stare though.

Proof speaks volumes, talk is cheap.
You say we can't track people across the world?
We toss missles from drones into terrorists windows. Did that recently.

Tell that to the Border Patrol. It doesn't need to be 100% effective. 85% would be fine.
B besides that, the deterrent factor wouldn't be small.
It would also help to stop inviting them to break out laws.
