A person can't do that in a "Judeo-Christian" church or synagogue without offending people in said church or synagogue. So there is that.

Thank goodness he said what he thought. It confirmed my belief that he is a raging *******. That being said, I do believe in common courtesy, which some people mistake for political correctness.

Interesting example since he said what he thought and the people that disagree with him said what they thought. Or, are people not supposed to react to what they hear?

Julie Annie keeps exposing himself.

I thought he enacted city ordinances against that sorta thing.

He cleaned up the city without removing himself?

WTf?

Having respect for others is part of being a civilized human being.
I don't understand why expressing that respect in your language is so offensive to certain people.

I think it's probably similar to feminism and environmentalism-- it's okay if something requires others to be self-critical and actually care about others, but not okay if something requires you to do the same.

Because when we get to the end of times, money doesn't exist either. They will just be papers with some numbers on them. You will have no use for them.

Or you can spend it all before we get to the end times. Either way is fine.

I'd say we have seen more messed world many times in past. As far a media its never really changed much. Anyone remember the yellow press as its called. Just that citizens get different views how days when in past of newspapers newspapers and the often were ID by the Democrat or republican in their name. Other that that later 3 television channels. They didn't get the name third estate from reputation of neutrality.

We always should say what we really think, and open that to debate, instead of couching it in whatever the PC of the moment is.
My question is: why would anyone relish in being a deliberate jerk? What kind of satisfaction does that bring to such a person?
