Re: More Ice?

Americans want SUVs...so what? You can't compare the European situation with the one that exists in the USA. F.L. : Yes ...I can compare wise with unwise...just as Solomon did! Europe had a plan about the transportation of people; and America had a plan about money for corporations....buying cars. ...

Re: Affordable Care Act/Obamacare

So we're not to be critical or to speak out when assessing foolish or dangerous things that negatively impact our society? You can certainly speak out...you have the choice....but you will be speaking 24/7... because this world's works are full of evil. That choice is simply; Biblically unwise. I k...

Re: Affordable Care Act/Obamacare

1over137: Thanks for your insight. The original post is an open question. My reply post is simply describing my thoughts on all the complaining that I hear on Christian media and other media; especially radio. That is how I have been affected by it. "The lecture" was only meant for those w...

Re: More Ice?

F.L. - I agree with what you have said. I did not assert that conservation will change God's plans. However; as good stewards of God's earth...it is unwise to not conserve resources. We do not need to be a slave to the lender/oil rich nations. The point I was making is to: not be distracted by the c...

Re: More Ice?

Suburban USA is the land of the giant, noisy SU-vehicles and trucks. Go and look at a Walmart parking lot...and you will see that 70% are huge. Then... look at a photo of the size of cars on a Parisian street. The U.S. conservation efforts are going at a snail's pace....because the car manufacturers...

Re: The Bible And Conservative Politics?

Yeeeeahhhh ... whole lotta stereotyping, caricaturing and broad-brushing going on here. Unfortunately you have read into my post your own negative bias. Please re-read my post with the understanding that I am seeking to understand the connection between Holy Scripture and this "conservative po...

Re: Please Introduce Yourself Here

Hello and greetings to all. I introduce myself to all. I am a male, 53 years old. U.S. resident alien; but not "American"....(whatever that changing, debatable, subjective term means). I currently live in Southern Oregon. I enjoy traveling to meet different people. I embrace certain aspect...

Re: Affordable Care Act/Obamacare

No questions, but certainly a suggestion. You should make a post on the introductory forum and let us know a little bit about yourself, maybe get to know us a bit and let us get to know you, before you presume to start lecturing. Any questions? Yes...Why do you use the word "lecture" in a...

Re: More Ice?

I think that the debate and focus on global warming is misdirected, premature, and a media-driven distraction. First; this U.S nation needs to have a real, civil discussion of what true, balanced, energy conservation looks like...what SMART utilization of energy looks like. Many European countries h...

Re: Differences in Conservative and Liberal Brains

What about politically moderate people? People who can understand the value of the concept of both/and; instead of either/or. Is the glass half
full, half empty, or both? hmmmm? ...Where have all the moderates gone?...la la la la la la...to the tune of a familiar folk song.

Re: Affordable Care Act/Obamacare

I implore people that are complaining, negative, and slanderous in their assessments of this new law to reconsider using idle words. Unless you are elected to power by a corrupt, inapt, system of U.S. government...you have nothing but useless opinion to offer. Even then; you are one vote in a sea of...

The Bible And Conservative Politics?

...I had to edit this post because of people not being able to understand that opposing hypocrisy and offering negative facts...does not equal complaining.. I have found that partisan reactions to negative facts...against their side..can only make a reactionary person...do their normal bidding ...re...
