So the "moderator" of the Politics forum starts a thread by flaming half of the board (country?) with the title "Oblowma" and then continues to bait and instigate and reveal himself from beginning to end. Nice work guys. Sure glad I ventured out of the football forum.
You actually believe that a billionaire that is deeply involved in using the wheels of commerce and finance on Wall Street is going to " stand up" to a bunch of other billionaires who have financed all his building projects and business ventures.
Hey... I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
Especially since (and I'll give him credit for this) he's always been a long-game thinker, and is surely at least as concerned with the 20 years post-presidency as he is with the 4 he might be in office.
Trump's first day in office - fittingly rings the bell on Wall St., raises fist and shouts: "Let's go!! WHO WANTS TO MAKE SOME MONEY WITH ME?!?!"
Firstly, I was originally talking about Trump using his "faith" as a weapon... Not you.
However....
You claim you don't use it as a weapon, except when you (out of nowhere) decided to slander the Pope and the entire Catholic Church.
Look, I am not even Catholic, but you need to re-examine that last statement, because from where I am sitting you just did exactly what you claimed you do not do.
That's always the way, isn't it? I genuinely think that he doesn't recognize that he's doing it though. Same for him discriminating while he says "I wasn't discriminating, I was just [enter description of discriminatory activities]."
lol exactly what the bible says non-believers would say funny how people living way before our time can explain what the thoughts and actions of people doing not even born or thought of yet can be so right with the stuff going on in a world they didn't know. That is because the bible was written by men inspired by GOD who knows everything and how the world would turn out.
The bible was written in a different alphabet, let alone a different language, if it was written at all. Whatever it said, it isn't necessarily what it says today. I agree with Elias though, if it works for you, great. I've certainly seen that book help some people.
See i don't think it is hate I think it is called being a american. Americans have lost their way nothing wrong with getting back to your roots to save your country.
:facepalm:
You do know that Macklemore was being sarcastic in that song, right?
I do think it's priceless that you say there's nothing wrong with America getting back to it's "Roots" - I think millions of African Americans might disagree!
Mugatu -- well said! Glad to have such a smart person on this board, haha

I will say this - UCR did bring out the best of many in this thread.
Speaking of idiot politicians
These comments from Governor LePage of Maine recently on drug dealers in his state
"These are guys with the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty," he said. "They come from Connecticut and New York, they come up here, they sell their heroin, then they go back home. Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave."
He also suggested a return of the guillotine to his state
“What I think we ought to do is bring the guillotine back, we could have public executions, and we could even have bets on which hole it falls in.”
Anybody else wondering if Governor LePage has ever been a poster here at JFU[emoji4]
I don't agree with the guillotine thing but I do know alot of people don't sell drugs in their own states or cities. Where I was born and raised they get alot of their drugs from syracuse or rochester all the guy does is takes a greyhound bus very very lax rules for 3-4 hours comes there sells drugs, prob sleeps with a few maybe kills a few and is back on bus to his hometown by the time the cops arrive and have no leads because the guy vanish's.
So the top part happens alot more than you think.
Sad thing is people are eating this up and believing it.
Yep, don't need to look any farther than a few inches above or below. My biggest concern is: what are these guys doing wrong that they're dealing and still riding the bus?
i wasn't referring to NYC i was referring to how a bigger city and some people from it take the buses to a smaller city like the one i was born in and do what the article said. Stay a few days screw and impregnate or have a few girlfriends kill some rival members and be back on the bus before the cops even get done with the crime scene.
Especially impregnating the young white girls. More scary than any of the other offenses for most of these guys, I'm sure. :scaaary: I'm sure that scenario is responsible for a large majority of teen pregnancies in rural areas.
It reads like a modern-day RACIST version of Reefer Madness
I don't think that is what YOU were saying but the comments by the Governor of Maine were transparently racist. That's what people have an issue with
No, I'm sure what it was is that they actually caught a guy named D-Money, etc., not that those names connote a certain race or culture. He wouldn't stoop so low, being from such an honest/pristine state like Maine.
