The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King
I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong. Frederick Douglas

I'm fiscally conservative but socially pretty centrist.

1. While I don't personally approve of such activities I don't think the government ought to make them illegal but rather regulate them. Gambling could also be put in this category. While I actively supported legalizing the lottery in my state over a quarter of a century ago I've personally spent a grand total of $13 on it.
2. I strongly favor going back to civil unions that bestow the exact same rights as marriage but leaving actual marriage to couples of the opposite sex

In America, for the most part, you don't need a traffic cop standing at a 4-way intersection in America to keep the flow of traffic orderly. In Mexico and other Central and South American nations, it's whoever has the loudest horn and the most aggressive driving.
Plus, while "bribing the cop" no doubt happens in the US, it's standard fare in those other countries.Watch your links! http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/fa...corumetiquette

Originally posted by DesertBerean View PostI have pastor friend serving in Mexico and have got some very scary information about the cartel activity and the human trafficking situations there.

I do feel sorry for the people trying to cross...but I can't see it as a good solution. Especially at this point with criminals committing crimes here as well as there....as proved by our own VERY high profile murder of a LEGAL immigrant cop by an ILLEGAL immigrant suspected of having ties to a gang.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

According to Fortune .com "69% of Americans think Trump's Wall isn't a priority." It's certainly not an emergency.Last edited by Tassman; 01-08-2019, 01:42 AM.
