When were we 'great'

what about in the 50's and 60's when one person in any family needed to work, could still have 2-3 kids, buy a new car and home, and still have money to save... now, both parents have to work, can't afford a new car or home, kids not being raised by family, and no money to save... ... I would go as far as saying late 70s early 80s were pretty great..jobs were easier to come by..and most paid more than minimum wage...rent was affordable...almost anyone could buy a house...five dollars would get smokes, gas and beer on Friday night...kids could walk almost anywhere without looking over their shoulders in fear of being hurt or worse...movies were imaginative and entertaining an R rated movie was a boob shot..porn was hard to fall into the hands of children and child porn was barely heard of and appalling ...music was pleasant to listen to..not just the f word and promoting sex with whoever and promoting drugs and crime..people went to parks and events as families...socializing with people wether at a club or potluck was common place..parents were allowed to discipline children without going to jail...jails were for people who were a threat to others..people were innocent until proven guilty...news was the news not a reporters opinion...technology was beyond the reach of average people and we had to use our own minds and hands to create things...if someone hurt your feelings..you learned to have tougher skin..the phone stayed home.. I could go on but I will spare you all...oh yeah...and we had some bad *** cars..yup it was some great times for sure...but then that's how it was in my hometown.. I mostly agree. The 80's we were lied to time and time again and we loved it. So mommy needs to work. Daddy is lazy. |

Before I knew of God, I was not afraid of death. I was ready to die any day of the week. I never thought I would live past the age of 13. I figured I would get shot and die in the hood. Time passed and I was still alive. As I learned about God, I found out there was a hell. Thats when I feared death. Because I knew I deserved to be there. I confessed my sins to Jesus, and he changed my life. He made me a new person. I wish we could all live, and that nobody would die. But death is natural. It's a transition to a new life. It took me a long time to believe that God could forgive my sins. If in the bible he killed some of those who sinned against him, just imagine what he would do to me. But every time I prayed he didn't convict me. He comforted me. There were times I was in trouble/danger and I would pray... and I would feel like everything will be okay. And it always turned out okay. Many people that say are "Christians" don't even have Jesus in their heart. They are not saved. How do I know God exists? First, when "I" looked for him, I found him. He didn't show me miracles or the "proof" I needed to believe in him. Second, I knew there were bigger powers in the world that many don't know about. My 270++ lb aunt, went down to around 100 lbs over night. Not exaggerating. They did witchcraft on her. I have also met different types of witches. I also remember an incident where an old friends family member was having an exorcism done on their house. The doors and walls would shake. And they feared the name of Jesus. You blame God for the bad but don't see that humans are the ones that are doing the bad. God already won. Jesus stepped down from Heaven to die for us. So that we don't have to burn. Jesus didn't come to spread peace but he came with the sword. Just as Jesus is alive, so is Satan. Ever since Adam and Eve sinned, it has been war. But we won. Its been told by God. Not one prophecy has failed to become. Infact the bible is the only book with prophecy. I don't know why some live and some die. But I do know it happens. God is just. He will reveal himself if you look for him. If we believed in Jesus, why should death be feared? You ask why God did this and that but fail to realize he is God. Creator of all things both good and bad. He can do as he pleases. But what he does is right and just. We don't get saved by works, but it's by Gods will and grace. God really does love you but thats only something he can show you. Read a bible. A King James bible. And if you don't believe in God thats okay. The bible has a lot of wisdom on just about every subject. It has a solution for any problem you're facing. Give it a try. so when you didn't believe in a happy afterlife, you didn't fear death till you believed in a god... shouldn't that make fear death less? MM . That was the 1st thing that struck me also. Dantes play seems to mean a lot to people. |

by singular I mean a unique and specific object, like THE WHITE HOUSE, or THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT or THE STATUE OF LIBERTY all these things are symbols and actual singular things the flag is a symbol that is not a singular object, but a mass produced and sold symbol,, therefore, because individuals pay their money to own that product,, they can do as they wish with it if it does not endanger others The problems legally arise when there is a product paid for by taxpayers in a region or county or city,,,,,etc,, then the public has a say in how that product is treated and maintained,,,,, otherwise, so long as its sold as merchandise to individuals, it becomes their property alone and they decide how they want to use it or treat it I see what you are saying. Like I said I guess I am old fashion. I grew up you respected the flag period. It did not matter who made it. |

As with so many things, Trump's people have NOT "overturned gay rights." All they've done is to remove a lot of the elements of the previous administrations' website, and started a fresh page. That included all the website stuff having to do with LGBT or whatever it is. As with the ACA, so far, no ACTUAL changes to anything has taken place. Just the trappings. The decorative posters, so to speak. things have went to far. That was just pure rebellion. I am glad someone finally took it down. As a Vet maybe I am old fashion but I am so tired of seeing the American Flag disgraced. Am I imagining things or did it used to be a crime to do anything you want with the flag? I hope Trump can change that. the issue is that there is no singular 'american flag', it has become another product, something manufactured and sold, so people cant be penalized once they use THEIR money to OWN something in doing what they want with it IF they are not threatening anyone else not sure about their is No singular American Flag. I thought it was a symbol of America. I do not remember it when growing up it being used as anything but respect. Like Half Masked. A symbol of mourning. I it used to be at least when it was raised or lowered their was respect in how you fold it. It is offered to the fallens family as a rememberence of gratitude and honor. Other countries burn it to show their hate towards America. Every country has one. Its your identity. People are disgusted at the confederate flag. It seems to mean something to many. If it is just a Product then apparently it means more than the stars and stripes. |

Opposed to the Wall

I am not opposed to the concept of a border wall, but the building, maintenance and monitoring of such a wall are not feasible. I believe if we for 20 years have the ability to read a newspaper someone is reading in a park from space we can stop whatever we want to. |

Good Afternoon my M2 Family, shots goes out to my loyal vocal avengers " Ms. Harmony", " LPDON"," GreenEyes148," CireTom" & many others who voices with me when I post. Okay lets talk about the atrocity that happen with 4 Black youth in Chicago lately in the papers & the national news. For those who don't know or follow the story, 4 young black youths 3 boys & 1 girl took it upon themselves to savagely beat a white disable man. Many have voiced what should be done to the 4 youths. Lord knows I have my own form of punishments to give them 4 but I'm just a host so America, how do feel about the youths. Are the victims if a broken home, lack of love, misguidance? Or Is what they did was straight criminal? senseless wrongs which should be convicted to the fullest? Or bring back the lynch mob just for there conviction punishments & hang em' high? So if the powers to be gave you the power to sentence & punish these young folks how would you sentence them? Lets talk, I love to hear from new as well as my loyal avengers on this topic. who knows maybe we learn something's about how we correct or convict this problem ! Later ! It was straight criminal. They should be charged both locally and Federally. They violated that mans civil rights, and that right there earns you a lifetime sentence. That is how they ended up getting the members of Bob Matthews group "The Order" for the killing of Alan Berg. come on They made a Bad Choice. They should get a Time Out. Like a rotten fruit. a Bad choice. Don't u think. |

God does exist

How can you not believe in a higher power, look i dont care what you believe in but for someone to say that no higher power exist, that we evolved from monkeys?? Lets say thats true we evolved from monkeys... who put the monkeys here, lets say the big bang theory is also true, humans didnt sprout from the ground or fly together magically in a cloud of hot molten rock. Come on people use your brains
One of the things I use my brain for is to become comfortable with "I don't know" and refrain as much as possible from believing my own or others stories that attempt to fill in the gaps of my own ignorance. Oh and I don't see knowledge as a sin Interesting you see people who believe as refusing knowledge. This is very possible. The scriptures do not teach not to learn. Hos 4:6 6 Cut off have been My people for lack of knowledge, YLT Hos 4:6 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. NKJV But what is knowledge? It can be good or bad. But wanting to learn as much as you can to see other opinions in a spirit of peace can hardly be wrong. |

Hahaha, Sheeple and the media, so comical. NEWS an accounting of North, East, West, South. NEWS is not opinions or testimonials. Much of the world does not remember the dry, but informative NEWS of the old days. Where opinions were withheld in favor of just presenting the facts and expecting everyone to form their own opinions. Now, the sheeple need to be told which opinion is right and what they should believe. Most don't even realize they are being manipulated into delusion by the media. I find it all rather amusing. You said a mouthful their. The News has so much influence in our thinking. Journalism today is "someone says". Who knows what is real and what is not. we need to know the facts not opinions put off as facts. Just report. Hollywood is the news today. |

The beast seems to rise out of no where to glory to the world. Rev 11:7-10 7 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. NKJV He comes out of the bottomless pit. the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit. yet we see to chapters later the Beast rising out of the sea. Rev 13:1-3 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. NKJV Is it the same Beast? Or is it Satan? Rev 12:3 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. KJV Here we have a beast with 7 crowns on his heads in chapter 12 but now in Chapter 13 the crowns are on his 10 horns. What happened? Satan is thrown out of Heaven and then later .....a look a like Beast rises out of the sea. Thier are many thoughts when satan is thrown out of heaven. 1. this we do know is he goes after the woman (the bride the 144,000 of Rev 7) they are in the wilderness for 3 1/2 years the same time as the 2 witnesses give thier Testimony. Rev 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (3 1/2 years) KJV Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. (1260 days 3 1/2 years) KJV Rev 12:17 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahweh, and have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah. KJV If all this is at the same time I would have to believe the 2 witnesses are part of the woman's (the remnant of her seed.) They die in 3 1/2 years The Beast rising in Chapter 13 has risen out of the Sea. I find it interesting that when Satan is thrown out of Heaven he does not have the names of Blasphemy on his 7 heads but crowns. The Beast has the names. Rev 12:3-4 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems (Crowns) on his heads. NKJV Rev 13:1-2 a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. NKJV confusing. Crowns gone from Heads to the Horns and now the Heads have a Blasphemous name. then later we sea the beast .. Rev 17:3-6 3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. NKJV Rev 17:8 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, NKJV 666? |

Quote ..... The bible does not teach when we die we go anywhere but the grave. tradition. Hell was conceived by Daunte's play. The inferno. Hell in the English is where they planted their potatoes. it is in the ground. Also in Greece they had a place of the underworld and I believe the Egyptians did also.. The Hebrew scriptures (the OT) in which all the NT quotes come from did not have a concept of any of those things. Their was different concept of thought among the Pharisees who believed in a resurrection of the just as in Ez. the valley of the bones. and then the Sadducees who did not believe in a resurrection. they were (sad u see). As it was then t is today tradition is preferred over the word. |

Disgusting (Jude 1:18 KJV) How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. (2 Pet 3:3 KJV) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, No, not everyone is a scoffer. Some of us have actually studied New Testament theology enough to know about the hoaxes, such as that hoax about Mary Magdalene. most people who scoff when in time of need ask the invisible to have mercy. Like a child who wants to drive yet is not big enough yet cries anyway. The wheel goes round and round. Yes I am at peace. It is not my job to change you. Change can only come from with in. Death is final? in what I believe but we will be judged on what we understood and how we treated others. So if you believe death is final then that's your way. You have that right. The bible is about living your life as the best you can an example. We are an example to our children. Bad or good. To everyone we come in contact with. Noone is perfect we are in constant training. Mercy I believe we all desire in one way or another not just for ourselves but also for others. The bible does not teach when we die we go anywhere but the grave. It is like sleep no knowledge of time. Yet I do believe in a resurrection to life or a non existence a final death. We see the miracle of life produced from a man and a woman. a part of themselves living on. So why do we because we do not understand where life came from can not fathom that life can be granted again. Many people believe in Aliens. yet we speculate that life has to be somewhere else. Then Darwinism is dead. Yet science speculates in the unknown from what we have gathered in say 100 years of knowledge. Hollywood is making a business out of the bible by speculation and we love it. Yet the antient wisdom they draw from can not be believed. No matter what we learn what we believe came from somewhere. Living waters of life will be my mercy and to all who give mercy I pray. |

The Living Water is referencing the Holy Spirit Very True. the whole of chapter 4 tells the story of the Samaritan woman. She believed, received and shared. |

Finally? I take it you've never listened to or read the millions of other times that Democrats (and in the old days, Republicans as well) who said exactly the same thing? I REALLY wish people learned more of the complete history of the United States. So many lies and so much propaganda games would fail, if everyone just did their homework. Taking pride in refusing to think, and in being self-righteous and unreasonable is a fad which affects people of all ages and political persuasions. It's ALWAYS a negative occurrence, and it ALWAYS damages the country, even when the self-righteousness is intended to be positive. You r right. I hope someday term limits come into effect. Seems as if once their for awhile we forget our roots. |

well,HoodahThunkit? http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/clinton-team-to-take-part-in-u-s--state-vote-recount--trump-blasts-effort-/42709448 Clinton team to take part in U.S. state vote recount, Trump blasts effort By Ian Simpson and Roberta Rampton WASHINGTON/WEST PAlM BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - Democrat Hillary Clinton's campaign will take part in a recount of Wisconsin votes in the U.S. presidential race, an effort Republican winner Donald Trump called "ridiculous" on Saturday. Wisconsin's election board on Friday approved the recount requested by Green Party candidate Jill Stein. She has said she wants to guarantee the integrity of the U.S. voting system since computer hacking had marked the Nov. 8 election. Marc Elias, the Clinton campaign counsel, said the campaign would take part in the recount in Wisconsin as well as in the other battleground states of Pennsylvania and Michigan if recounts were mounted there. Elias said in a statement on the Medium website that the Clinton campaign had not planned to seek a recount since its own investigation had failed to turn up any sign of hacking of voting systems. "But now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides," Elias said. Clinton's campaign should be legally represented in Wisconsin to be able to monitor the recount, he said. In a statement, Trump said the three states had been won by wide margins, including by more than 70,000 votes in Pennsylvania. The recount is a "scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded," he said. The $7 million (6 million pound) Stein has sought to raise for the recounts is a way "to fill her coffers with money, most of which she will never even spend on this ridiculous recount," he said. Although Trump won the Electoral College tally, Clinton will have won the national popular vote by more than 2 million ballots when the final results are in. Stein has raised $5.8 million of the $7 million needed to cover fees and legal costs for the three recounts, according to her campaign website. The deadline for filing a recount bid in Pennsylvania is Monday. The voting margins make it highly unlikely any recounts would end up giving Clinton a win in all three states, which would be needed for the overall election result to change. Trump beat Clinton in Pennsylvania by 70,010 votes, in Michigan by 10,704 votes and in Wisconsin by 27,257 votes. Experts urged extra scrutiny of the three states, Stein told CNN on Friday, because their voting systems were seen as vulnerable. (Editing by Jonathan Oatis) Watch the "Franken-ing" of a General Election by the Clintons! Jill Stein concerned about Irregularities,my Butt! Was always an effort by Clinton-Camp and its Backers,inside and outside of the US! Just observe how the recount-Funds rolled in! US-Senate-Election of Al Franken all over again! to me looks like a way to get everyone to know who you are. Who knew this persons name before? So if their is more money than needed where does it go? Follow the money. |

fewer dead lives is good news,, imho Good news for who? And who is the judge of this? Dead people are dead, they don't have feelings, they are dead. Are you saying terrorist shouldn't be dead? Many people in prison wouldn't be better off dead? People in chronic pain may be better off dead? Everyone is going to die sooner or later, and we have come to the point where we do whatever we can to keep everyone alive as long as we can, but is this always the right way to look at things? There was a time when death was more acceptable, we still kill animals to eat them and make our lives better. Humans just keep getting more, and more greedy. But the real reason I said it wasn't necessarily good news is because we know that if it can't be done legally that some will turn to underground sources that may be unsafe as we've seen in the past. Yet others may chose to take their own lives so they don't have to deal with it. what do you consider a fetus? |

Job 14:10-15 10 But man dies and is laid away;Indeed he breathes his lastAnd where is he? 11 As water disappears from the sea,And a river becomes parched and dries up, 12 So man lies down and does not rise.Till the heavens are no more,They will not awakeNor be roused from their sleep. 13 "Oh, that You would hide me in the grave,That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me! 14 If a man dies, shall he live again?All the days of my hard service I will wait,Till my change comes. 15 You shall call, and I will answer You;You shall desire the work of Your hands.
