It wasn't just on You Tube, reportedly it was Snapchat as well. I'm not buying the FBI couldn't find out something, they're (supposedly) the experts and have all the whiz kids. It would seem it just wasn't a priority.
Maybe if the kid had a Russian name or spoke to someone in a Russian Church?

Thankfully. It has no business there. Younger kids in school have fairy tales read to them already.

A belief in God and some sort of judgment often acts as a braking mechanism for our worst impulses.

Okay, but repetition smacks of desperation to prove something...

This thread was merged. Originally it was about "Trumps great speech".

As far as your insults, you know nothing about me, so they say more about you.

Just sharing information. People are free to form their own judgments from the information.

Schools are for educating kids, not forcing your personal religious beliefs down their throat, sorry if you don't like that. You don't need god to be a good person.

Default Evangelicals: We can fix school shootings by re-instating forced school prayer

Rick Joyner Links Florida Shooting To End Of School Prayer Opening 'The Gate Of Hell' | Right Wing Watch

When you are a conservative, all our problems go back to the fact that we aren't a theocracy and that fundamentalist Baptists can't force everyone to adhere to their dogma at gunpoint, despite how hard they may try. Heaven forbid we blame such easy access to guns or how difficult and expensive it is to get mental healthcare in this country.

I wish the GOP would interpret the First Amendment as strictly as they do the Second. Sure, everyone can have a gun, but the founding fathers also said we shall NOT establish a religion. Why can't conservatives understand this?
