This is the first time in my life I have ever heard the name Scott Pelley.
Saying there are good Muslims is like saying there are good members of the KKK.

Is the America 250 merchandise out of control?
Still not as bad as the millions spent on these signs in 2020 for the sole purpose of virtue signaling.




I would have cashed out before you had time to post a thread about it.

Greg Maddux - a nasty pitch

I didn't know this story. Any other insomniacs out there, here's something trivial to help you sleep -

Psalms 19:1 (KJV)

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.

What about Service Merchandise did BR have those?
Pierre Bossier mall had one in the 80's, not sure about South LA. My Dad bought a 22" cut push mower with a 3.5 hp Briggs and Stratton in the early 70's, had TG&Y logo on it. This was in Minden. All the expensive toys were sold at Otasco, we couldn't afford to go there. We weren't "poor", my parents were just very disciplined at making a small paycheck go a long way.

Driving into a building at 97 mph is accidental?
It was 100 mph, with no slowing down, on a curved road, after slowly and carefully pulling onto that road, with no alcohol and no shrooms in her system. It's open and shut as far as whether she intended to do it or not. She tried to kill herself and take her boyfriend and an innocent bystander with her. She failed to kill herself, but two people are dead because of her actions. She is rightfully in jail.

As was earlier mentioned, her parents are a joke. It's clear she was a spoiled brat that was never told no, so it's no surprise she turned out the way she did.

What stuck out most to me was how both she and her friend considered social media as just something that was pretend, not real. Who they portray on social media is how they want to be seen, not who they truly are. That mindset concerns me - why are you behaving in a way to get attention, if that isn't who you are? Why do you need the attention, and why do you feel compelled to deceive people in order to get it? These kids treated social media as nothing more than a video game where everything is pretend, and not real life.

Well, they’re all saying the same thing. Maybe there is some truth to it.
Yeah, no way it's scripted...


This is textbook hostile workplace environment. I wouldn't feel safe around anyone who openly cheers for death of somebody they don't like.

Ridiculous point. How many 16 year old kids are paying their own way through life?

1st Amendment guarantees five fundamental freedoms: freedom of religion, speech, the press, assembly, and petition
"But you don't have the right to hate speech." I never heard that phrase uttered until the 90's. Crazy how liberals went from

"Ask not what your country can do for you..."

to

"The rich don't pay their fair share..."

to

"it's a crime to investigate criminals stealing tax money because it might hurt their feelings..."

Self control is cool, too

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."

quote:

No, it wasn't taken out of context. He was clearly stating that 16 yo girls are adults, since that's what the expectations were for thousands of years - "
If two 16 year old kids are mature enough to support themselves and raise a family, and that was true for centuries, why would it be sick today ? Who arbitrarily raised the number to 18, and why is that number so morally sacred to you, but 16 is an abomination? You aren't seeking truth, just a reason to complain.

Go to the end. He literally says the problem isn't teenage pregnancy its the unwed pregnancies that are a problem.
And that's true. If teenagers want to have sex and get pregnant, they should get married and raise the child. What is so controversial about that?
