Discussing politics and religion

[Floorist]

I'm frequently amazed at how little they can be bought for----------of course we cant account for behind the scenes corruption.......gifts, favors and other stuff not itemized on campaign finance reports.

So those reports are really a joke. The BIG money comes through the revolving doors when they retire and get PAID.

Every politician seems to retire rich. Did not care much for Truman, but he drove himself home from DC and did not want secret service or a pension. They made him take protection and when he had trouble paying his bills they gave him a pension. The MAFIA helped get him elected to his first office.

North America I like sky News better than Fox. Fox reported on this but you showed people standing around in the Capitol building. They didn't show this part.

I wanted to give that one two thumbs up, but you know.....
....rules.
Best question I've seen asked in months.

Have you noticed? All anti-gun people have two things in common, they are Democrats and know nothing about guns.

They also mistakenly believe
"Hold my beer, watch this" is humor.

I love watching those videos. Besides, nothing good ever started with ‘Hold my glass of milk’.

There is a sickness amongst some in our society. One that seeks to sexualize children, and I find it quite sickening.

Leave children alone!

The real outrage is that people are getting outraged over a few books in a library somewhere rather than doing their job of properly raising the children that they willingly created and decided to bring into this world.

This sounds a lot like the crazy liberals that think that just because you see a gun that somebody is going to get shot. Only difference is we’re talking about a book, not a gun. If your kid reads a book and turns gay or into a whore, it’s not the book, your kid was already gay or a whore to begin with.

Hell, I submit that books were the first guns and libraries are the first gun safes and here you are trying to ban them. Or do you just want to ban the assault books because who needs an assault book to hunt deer? That’s where it all starts, right. First it’s the assault books. Then they come for your revolver books and maybe even your shotgun books cus once they start taking your books, they aren’t gonna stop. Maybe you can’t even read so what do you even need a book for in the first place. Besides, it’s not like the right to read is a constitutionally protected amendment.

I may have gone a little overboard with that, or did I. How about people quit worrying about what the government isn’t doing and start worrying about what they themselves are doing as parents to raise their children. Maybe you outta homeschool your kids if you don’t like the public education system. If you did your job correctly as a parent, are you really worried about some stupid book in a library that your kid likely won’t ever see.

The United States Supreme Court ruled in the cases of,
Murdock v Pennsylvania; the government can't convert a Right into a privilege and require a license and charge a fee.
Shuttlesworth v Birmingham; if the government does convert a Right into a privilege you can ignore the license and fee and engage in the Right with impunity.
If I'm not mistaken the 2nd Amendment is a Right.

Worry and concern is what parents do, and on a higher scale than usual. Speaking out by filing a grievance is needed , but then like C. J. Said

start worrying about what they themselves are doing as parents to raise their children.

Very wise ! Control the controllables. Freedom of speech and free markets will always travel up and down away from societal norms making us uncomfortable It comes with the philosophy of Freedom over Restrictions.

Hell, I submit that books were the first guns and libraries are the first gun safes and here you are trying to ban them. Or do you just want to ban the assault books because who needs an assault book to hunt deer?

You are onto something here Chris ! Stepping back and seeing a bigger picture

My post wasn’t really about rights as much as it was about personal responsibilities.

True, but little sculls full of mush easily absorb stuff, ideas, suggestions, anything that is put in front of them. Teachers can feel those skulls full of mush all kinds of crappy stuff especially if the young student likes them....... they will trust a teacher they like even if the teacher is teaching them things that parents consider obscene or immoral.
School shouldn't be in the business of sex education, at least not until you get into junior high or high School. Even there, it shouldn't go beyond reproduction.... the hows and whys, this ins and outs of the subject.

Alright, Plebs, here’s the question of the day. Is healthcare a right or a privilege.

Not sure.

 

[DarisMulkin]

It is a privilege here in the states but a right in Canada. The privilege is if you can afford it or have insurance to cover it.

 

[C.J.]

Not sure.

I wasn’t either but your post on rights vs privileges got me thinkin and damn if that doesn’t apply here.

Bud Light trans ad a big failure
Consider these reports from bars across America:

• Case & Bucks near Anheuser-Busch's HQ in St. Louis has seen a 30% drop in Bud Light bottle sales and a 50% drop in Bud Light on tap.
• Braintree Brewhouse in Massachusetts, a huge sports bar near liberal Boston, normally sells 25 Bud Light bottles to each bottle of rivals Miller Lite and Coors Light, but this week there has been an 80% drop in Bud Light drinkers. Owner Alex Kesaris went an extra step and found out that the 20% who did order Bud Light hadn't heard the news, but said "they didn't order it again" after other customers told them about Dylan Mulvaney.
• A bar in Texas with a dart league sponsored by Bud Light normally sells three kegs of Bud Light during the weekly event, or 495 12-ounce bottles. The bar only sold FOUR 12-ounce bottles this week, a decline of 99%.
• A pub in the LGBT-friendly neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen in uber-liberal New York City reported a 58% drop in Bud Light draft sales and a 70% drop in bottle sales.

This is being repeated across every store, restaurant, and bar in America.
