[quote]Does anyone else believe all of these campus "protests" are a big setup? [/quote] 90% of protests are manufactured to generate division, and create opportunities for escalation. Old Anti-War Protests, Old Civil Rights, Pro-Life are usually the only ones that are genuine. And the pro-we...
Right, but the COVID vaccine issue is more about long term. Unvaccinated people are not dropping from COVID if they had it at some point right now, due to heart disease. On the other hand, it's become more clear that there are some possible complications long term to the Vax. ...
[quote]heart issue Covid itself caused[/quote] Was this ever SUPER clear to be a lone result - or did it accelerate or modify existing problems? I'm not sure I've seen anyone die from "heart disease" related to COVID that didn't already have a heart issue. It's a fuzzy area at best. ...
[quote]This is weak-minded nonsense by US-raised millennials. Get out there and get what you can. If you fail, look inward.[/quote] You don't know my situation, so you don't know where this comes from. I'm just saying I want Boomers to admit their selfishness, their lack of wisdom and foresigh...

[quote]That’s always been a question for me. Did God create us for the primary purpose of worshiping him?[/quote] I'm not sure if you want to actually have that conversation, but surrendering your will to God is "worshipping" God. Which takes many, many forms - especially on Earth. It doesn't...
