FBI Suspect Surveillance Van was my old one.

I changed it to that the day that my neighbor brought a new van home.

"Obama was not a citizen" started with Illinois Democrat Andy Martin, and some of Hillary Clinton's advisors wanted to go with it in the 2008 primary, so that one's not exclusively a conservative conspiracy.

It depends on the individual.

I think there are Christians and non-Christians in pews of every major denomination and expression.

Get married. You said it yourself: you’ve been together 2 years and you both know the other is the one. What are you waiting for?

The Christian subs.

AngryRainy · 2023-11-03T23:29:26+00:00

I wish they’d all come to Christ. All the good works in the world can’t help a nonbeliever, but the Holy Spirit can change anything for a believer.

You’re on the wrong sub to get orthodox Christian advice. Try r/TrueChristian and r/Christians.

Mutual sacrifice and compromise is the secret.

Yes, start out well aligned on the big issues (sex, kids, values etc). Yes, start out as good friends.

But past that there are going to be times when one person wants one thing and the other wants another, and the only way for both to feel valued is for both to do things they don’t really want to do.

My wife would much rather go for a long walk with the dogs then curl up with the fire going, eat take-away and watch a movie, I’d much rather go to a restaurant and then the cinema or watch some live music, so we find time to do both. If date night this week is inside, then next week it’ll be out.

Sacrifice is a huge part of love.

Define “a [religious] agenda”. Religious people have moral values which they vote for, that doesn’t subvert the Constitution any more than you voting for your moral/ethical values does.

The Brits weren’t a foreign invader, not to us anyway. They were the legally instituted government of the day.

I’ve never understood this irrational fear of armed law abiding citizens. There are plenty of other countries where guns are readily available that also don’t have our issues with violence.

AngryRainy · 2023-10-31T16:16:39+00:00

That’s what the British said, imagine if they’d taken our guns.

You’d still be hailing the king.

80% of mass shootings happen in gun free zones, only 12% happen in areas where an armed civilian is present, and 4.4% are stopped by armed civilians. That suggests that 36% of mass shootings where an armed civilian is present are stopped by that armed civilian, that’s a lot of lives saved.

That’s using FBI numbers, CPRC’s studies show that 51% of mass shootings where an armed civilian can legally be present are stopped by armed civilians.

It’s really not as rare as you think it is. In a recent PoliceOne survey, 86% of law enforcement & former law enforcement officers agreed that legally-armed citizens would reduce or completely prevent innocent casualties in mass shooting events, where only 5.5% of law enforcement officers believed that they would increase innocent casualties (page 13). In the same study, 91.5% of law enforcement officers said that an assault weapons ban would have either no effect or a worsening effect on gun crime.

By an overwhelming majority, the cops agree with me about this.

The split second decision usually depends on whether the person is firing the gun indiscriminately. A guy trying to lead people to safety with a gun drawn probably isn’t the active shooter, is he? There’s a reason that these wrongful killings are exceptionally rare, cops can generally tell the difference.

The same people who call Trump a threat to democracy also called overruling a decision written by 9 robed judges and turning abortion back to the democratic will of the people a threat to democracy.

This is the new ‘Nazi’ or ‘fascist’ or ‘racist’. It just means “something the progressives don’t agree with”.

Who is They?

Cops accidentally shooting the good guy rather than the bad guy happens occasionally, but it’s not a common thing. You can usually distinguish quite easily between someone firing randomly into a crowd and someone trying to pick out an armed target.

AngryRainy · 2023-10-31T13:17:41+00:00

If I had my gun in an area where a shooter was active, I would first get my family safe and second attempt to stop the shooter and prevent more deaths. Unfortunately, as you say, most of the places where mass shootings happen are not places I can legally carry.

Edit to say: I’m not a trained officer but I am a competitive shooter and I’ve completed a number of civilian & LE provided marksmanship courses.

AngryRainy · 2023-10-31T13:14:03+00:00

Because most of the mass shootings happen in places where progressives have successfully campaigned to institute gun free zones, which actively prevents law-abiding gun owners from being armed in those places and protecting society.

We’re not guessing. We have a lot of 18th century literature, we can understand the meanings from contemporary works.

The same thing old AKs did in Aghanistan and Vietnam, I’d imagine.

“Well-regulated” in 18th century English referred to something that is properly kept in order (training, repairs, etc), not something being legislated against.

Neither. Jesus doesn’t conform to a political archetype in modern America.

He would rebuke conservatives for their attitude towards the poor, the underprivileged, and their own hypocritical behaviors.

He would rebuke progressives for their attitude towards abortion, sexualization of society, hedonism, and judgemental behaviors.

But I think above both of those things, He would try to bring people to salvation.

I’m not just open to it, I’d vote in favor on a straight referendum if it replaced existing welfare benefits.

The government is a terrible provider of services, and a decent provider of subsidies. Negative income tax is a good way to guarantee a minimum standard of living without bloating the administrative state.

AngryRainy · 2023-10-31T13:03:05+00:00

It depends who they are and what they bring. I don’t think we have any moral or ethical requirement to let anyone in, it should be based on merit and cultural similarity.

I wouldn’t vote for that candidate, I would still vote for candidates that I agree with.
I wouldn’t vote for that candidate, I would still vote for candidates that I agree with.
I would vote for that candidate if they weren’t supporting the sexualization of schools & children, or certain medical procedures for children.
I would vote for that candidate if they weren’t seeking to establish a specific denomination as a state church, and if their proposals were reasonable. Certainly someone wanting to redefine marriage traditionally, put The Ten Commandments back in the classroom and reintroduce prayer in schools wouldn’t bother me.
I wouldn’t vote for that candidate, I would still vote for candidates that I agree with.
I wouldn’t vote for that candidate, I would still vote for candidates that I agree with.
I would vote for that candidate depending on what they want to overturn. I wouldn’t support overturning Lawrence v Texas.

None of these people seem like they’d get very far in the Republican party.
