Welcome to America

It is time for all of us to lead the charge in our towns to protect our children. Blaming the other side is just as irresponsible in my opinion.

Considering their platform is "let children die over regulation" I'll keep blaming them.

You will never find a solution if you value all outcomes equally.

So, you just invented categories and conditions to the truth. Who made you the arbiter of truth? Truth isn’t subject to emotion. Just because you emotionally feel it’s true, doesn’t mean it’s true.

Faith is an emotion. You need to get out and talk to people who have faith and you will find that they have faith that trump will protect them. Their faith is their truth. Their belief in God is their truth. They have no proof but they have faith. I am no arbiter of truth but I know how to use a shovel and do the work to find out why there is so much anger and hate on both sides. This planet is full of people who have faith. It is a mistake to dismiss this as my invention.

I understand that you have made the choice not to find a solution with anyone who disagrees with your solution. I understand it is much easier to blame others. The outcome that we all should value equally is doing something even if not a perfect solution. Doing something has value. Doing nothing has zero value.

So, you just invented categories and conditions to the truth. Who made you the arbiter of truth? Truth isn’t subject to emotion. Just because you emotionally feel it’s true, doesn’t mean it’s true.

If you and I can't agree on Truth and we are on the same page with our politics then why would you think that the other side would agree to our Truth? We pass every thought through an emotional filter which is more powerful and easier than doing the work to find proof. You do it. I do it. We all do it. Politics is part of that emotional filter. Religion is part of that emotional filter. Culture is part of that emotional filter. I did not invent categories and conditions of truth. Human Nature did that

How about mature human being

How about mature human being

We know you're old.

We know you're old.

Mature: "Having or showing characteristics, such as patience and prudence, considered typical of well-balanced adulthood"

Human Being: "Member of the human race"

Old: "State of mind"

I would agree with you that mature might be wishful thinking but the other two words are correct

Florida Republicans Vote Down Abortion Exception for Condition That Nearly Killed a Black Woman​

The discrimination and hatred are just obvious at this point.

To be clear:

Man in lingerie in front of children = bad
Woman in lingerie in front of children = family fun

So we have White Male Nationalism (been in power/want to stay in power), Christian Nationalism (power that is faith based/threatened by all sorts of ghosts) and last but not least is a Cultural Nationalism (conservative values that center around a family unit of male and female). The anger and hatred all started from fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of change and fear of the feeling of being threatened. Societal norms are changing and many people just feel threatened. It is an emotion. It is human nature. We all get caught up in right and wrong which is affected by emotion. All we can do is be aware of our emotions and manage them away from fear, anger and hatred. Democracy requires a system of governing with reason yet we are almost controlled by emotion if we do not find a way to manage. We have two political parties that hate the other based on what I hear and see. Something has to change. We can not rely on our sense of right and wrong without managing our emotions better. Is there any hope for all of us to manage our emotions just a little better and have civil conversations? I really don't know...

Religion is based on fear in order to control. MAGA/Republicans use this same method.
One of my personal favorite quotes is from Lyndon Johnson.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

I have heard that quote a thousand times or more. Here is a quote "anger and hate in a democracy equals less democracy, less happiness and less quality of life". Guess who said that

I talk about forgiveness right up until she opens her mouth

She's not a representative or a good person. This is just a grift or line of income for her. I'm tired of representatives becoming or just being performative actors.

Too funny

Best trump tweet ever!

This is exactly what drives them nuts in other states when it applies to brown people.

Tenn. AG will not prosecute permitless carry in Tenn. for 18 and older

There’s an important change to tell you about with permitless carry in Tennessee. And it’s a change that some local leaders didn’t know about until Action News 5 reached out to them for comment.

Spent most of my life in Tennessee so there wasn’t much of a change coming to Florida in 2007

Republicans know they can’t win a fair election so they invent ways to cheat

If we are not able to get rid of automatic weapons and seriously treat the mentally ill then I suggest we lock up our schools. We have to have solutions not memes and name calling. If we can not agree that something has to be done to protect our children then something is wrong with ALL of us. My position is that something has to be done and if we have to do it with Republicans and their automatic weapons then lets do it. I have the desire as much as anyone to say shame on anyone for supporting automatic weapons for sale to the public but that is not going to get anything done. Democrats will have to find another way. It's sad. It's wrong. But we have to get all the moral high ground words out of our system and then get to work and do something...

If we treated the mentally ill or mental illness as a whole would we have to change any gun laws?
