Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!

Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

    And someone who thinks it is perfectly fine for a mother to kill their baby up to a couple months after they're born really is in no position to lecture anyone about morality.
    I don't think that Starlight gets it yet, his position on infanticide means that he has absolutely no moral "currency" with anyone on this site. at all. on any topic.

      I will go ahead and count his vote. His vote is the exception that proves the rule. 400% of those polled now believe that the USA has the best healthcare in the world!

        100% of the medical establishment polled think I'm too fat. I want a recount!

          Well not with the immoral sociopaths who call themselves US evangelical "Christians" here who obsess about abortion daily, and I suspect dream about it. The normal people on this site (Tass, JimL, Jaecp etc) like me just fine.

            *whew*
            I'm glad I'm a circular balloonist.
            Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

              And this comes from the same psychopath that wants it legal to execute children. Sorry, but being called normal by you isn't anything to be proud of. If anything I'm glad a psychopath like you wouldn't call me 'normal'. It means I still have a moral compass that works.

                Your moral compass is so skewed it doesn't merely point backward, isn't even a compass, it's more akin to a microwave that's spying on you while it's plotting the bowling green massacre.

                  So says the psychopath that wants to execute children. You're hardly in the position to call anyone immoral you sick monster.

                    Yeah! Let the rich have their excellent, very expensive health care and it will "trickle down" to the poor.

                      I'm not really sure I get the argument here. Could you break it down for me? I lived in Europe during the heatwave. The reason people died had nothing to do with people relying on the government (as far as I could see). It had to do with the fact that North Western Europe didn't put much stock into air conditioning, since temperatures don't regularly get that high.

                        Mark me down as someone who doesn't think that the US has the best healthcare in the world.

                          You do realize that this website is composed of plenty of Christians (including non-Christians) who do not identify as "evangelical" and who still find your views on abortion and infanticide immoral.

                            No, I don't think MM thinks it will trickle down. I think he's just happy with the poor dying off. He's just one of the many utterly selfish people here who call themselves "Christians" yet who don't give the smallest fig about others in their society. As Bill acknowledged earlier, they don't even perceive their own attitudes to be horribly immoral or sociopathic.

                              True, but I remember watching interviews of grieving families who had lost elderly relatives who were in government housing and facilities saying that they assumed they would be taken care of while they left on holiday. They had in effect abandoned their responsibilities because they paid their taxes and believed that they weren't their concern. In effect they thought they had done their duty when they paid their taxes.

                                You find it perfectly reasonable and acceptable to kill month old children and seek to paint those who disagree as "immoral sociopaths" That would be funny if it weren't so sick and, quite bluntly, evil.
