ARE YOU DUMB ENOUGH?

[B-A-C]

I think it is perceived by much of the world, that everyone in the US is rich.

I frequently travel between Seattle and Portland, two of the largest tent cities in the US. We are starting to look like a 3rd world country.

There are a lot of rich people here. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Jim, Rob, and Alice Walton, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, .. all of them are multi-billionaires ( with 9 zeros )

..and some of them are philanthropists, however just doing a quick and dirty search ( not really a scientifically valid method ) reveals that most of the organizations they give to,
have a lot more to do with research in the industries they are involved in, than helping the homeless, giving to the poor, and feeding the hungry.

Bro Paul, without closing the Border and wiping the Cartels out, they do nothing to help the poor. Your view is narrow and benefits the Cartels and the Wealthy. Yes! The poor, like myself, fight the wars but to pass over doing a Good Work is so much better than dying from an overdose.

You totally missed the points (plural). And it figures. Follow the Way or not! You choose.

No, you, as so many regurgitating Mderon Day DNC Liberal Socialists do and try to shift the conversation into the deep subterranean reaches, hopefully, to you and them, never to be discussed again. BTW; Until the one-sided wars at the Southern Border are engaged and settled, your points are mute.

May Jesus bless you and shine His face on you but I am none of the names you called me so I forgive you. And as for the border fiasco all we need to do is apply the actual laws we have in place and cancel the hate. It is not becoming a person who has His Spirit. Be blessed Bill!

Defunding Law Enforcement is driven by Democrats and a small handful of RINOs, it has naught to do with the RNC and members of the GOP in general. Why did you regurgitate that DBC Lie?

I want to defund fbi cia and irs. They are all corupt.

 

[Brother Paul]

And all Senators and Reps! 90 percent are also corrupt. And don't forget the Obama appointed Comey who submitted the prosecutorial statement against Hillary and that Trump appointed Wray for doing their actual job.

2 Timothy 3:2-9
​

English Standard Version
​

​

2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

And we are dumb enough to worry about those people?

She is an idiot in so many ways (and cannot spell) and I can admit that tho not a big fan of Joe

There's not much use for a witch who can't even spell, is there?

By the way, you punctuated your sentence incorrectly. The bracketed portion should be offset with commas, and you should have spelled out the word "although", as well as using the pronoun clause "I am" before stating that you are not a big fan of Joe. Finally, you forgot the period at the end of the sentence.

If punctuation is really a big problem for you, I suggest that you study grammar and parts of speech, so you'll know where to put the offset marks and try reading your sentences out load before you post them in order to get a sense of where to insert the pauses for a breath of fresh air.

Just kidding, that was a joke. Don't worry about how you spell things, it gets to be more than confusing in the context of a group who are arguing over translations from foreign languages with alphabets other than English!

No it isn't a problem for me and yes you are correct but we are just talking here and sharing opinions. I see many who do not use hyphens or commas and so on in forum discussions. Sometimes I may only have a moment to jot a comment in so if you were trying to make some kind of comparison wel done but I do not think it is nearly the same thing.

All in good humor, Brother Paul!

I don't think it matters all that much, to be honest, although I suppose that text message acronyms and over reliance on emoticons make communication vague. Spelling in the days of the original Bible translators was a matter of transliteration, most of Europe uses the English alphabet, and "translation" was thought to be more a spiritual matter in the sense of Enoch and Elijah having been translated than it was to be a matter of language.

Witches and their spelling are a print shop joke. I know you know what I'm talking about, witches claim to be able to "cast spells", but you have to be able to visualize the movable type press to understand why that's absurd and laughable. Type is cast in lead or carbon steel, and each atomic letter is cast separately and individually. The individual letters don't really spell anything out, except in the cases of the article A and the pronoun I.

Witches don't cast spells, I know we're here being spiritual and religious, but they don't. They're doing something else, and I'm sure you know what it is from the media, they mix rather discussing concoctions and potions in cauldrons and beakers. It's probably more related to cooking than to setting type, but then there are kosher, dietary, and food origin requirements in the Bible that make what they do as much not cooking as it is not spelling.

Yeah! Actually I know three Wiccans personally and they do none of the fairy tale witchy stuff. A friend from Nigeria told me there church uses the term to refer to alleged necromancers and those who have evil intent. They do not call other nature worshipers "witches" but recognize their Romans 1 confusion which is mostly parental or culturally reinforced.

That's your religious conservative definition of the word "witch". I understand it. The first time I started working in a print shop, labour's weekday definition was more along the lines of "strawboss", which is to say a nonqualified affirmative action management hire who had not done the shop jobs under his supervisory entry level, and literally just didn't work or who stood around pretending to work.

I've also heard it called the principle of having risen to one's level of incompetence, a sinecure, nepotism, and so on. Now that you mention Nigeria, I can see the religious connotation. The Egyptian overseer, ordering the Hebrew to make bricks without straw, and a non-worker himself, who also in a religious light has magical spiritual beliefs about what is physically and humanly possible through the service of XYZ false Egyptian God or carved Phoenician idol, an unexperienced and unqualified middle manager, demanding the scientifically impossible of qualified labour.

Also, a Sabbathbreaker, a cracker, a slavedriver, or in my own workaday and oh so unchurched vocabulary, a violator of the Office of Health and Safety standards and regulations, one who does not engage in better business at the Better Business Bureau, a dishonest accountant ("bookie, numbers runner, or racketeer"), freeloader, goldbricker, shovel leaner, hypochondriac, malingerer or hospital rat.
