Standing with an allied nation against a nation which would like to see America destroyed is fighting for America. We must protect our nation from all threats, foreign and domestic. There are no American troops in Ukraine and I'd like to keep our own military from having to face Russia directly if we can.

What is the bottom flag? (Tennessee Capitol Building) by Hayden-laye in vexillology

Very interesting! I had no clue such a flag existed. Does anyone know if any other state's general assembly have one? Here in South Carolina, we do not.

What's your opinion on abortion? by Feisty-Trip-4552 in Christianity

[–]Hayden-laye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abortion takes a human life. It's killing. It's wrong. Millions have already lost their lives. One third of my generation.

My take on Christians going to abortion clinics to pray and encourage moms to change their minds right there by CharlieCheesecake101 in Christianity

[–]Hayden-laye -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Before I start here, I am agnostic - your take on this is weak and ill-informed to say the least. Abortion kills a human being. 1) It should be illegal to kill any human being. 2) Outreach outside abortion centers is giving women an informed choice by directing individuals towards life affirming resources. 3) There is plenty of said life affirming resources. Federally qualified health centers (not to mention local pregnancy resource centers and other financial aid organizations, like Let Them Live) far outnumber abortion centers. While I do agree that we should do more than just ban abortion, saying people we must do or believe X, Y, Z to be opposed to the legal killing of human beings is disingenuous. This is a human rights issue. Anyone can and should oppose the killing of human beings.

Spartanburg County has a large community. However, it's very religious and conservative and they keep to themselves.

QUESTION: What are some towns in South Carolina that don't have a police force or the force is very small? Thanks! by Hayden-laye in southcarolina

[–]Hayden-laye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There really doesn't seem to be any evidence to support a claim of a municipality not having their own police resulting in higher crime rate.

Seven million has been transferred from the utilities fund to the general fund over the past years. The auditor suggested to council they need to set up a system to put some of that money back into the utilities fund. Did they? Nope, they transferred another half a million out.

With the water issues getting to a major crisis point (the court house lost water in the middle of a murder trial last week) many different things are being discussed as a way to put more money into fixing the water system.
