You went to a progressive Pentecostal church. In the one I went to, women couldn’t cut their hair, had to stay at home instead of work, had to wear long dresses, and were basically taught to be submissive. A woman who is never lead anything. It was total bullshit. I’m glad it was different for you.

Those are good points, but I’m not sure about women who want a female President. The Black church teaches that men should lead which drives the sexism in the South. My mom and wife are hesitant for this very much sexist reason driven directly from their Christianity. For every woman who is gung ho for it, there is…

If Biden wins the primary, Trump will win reelection. Modern Democrats don’t elect older candidates, because the Youth won’t show for old people. For all his hoopla, they didn’t show up for Bernie which is why he lost.

I think his time has passed. Plus, ...

“O’Rourke is going to have a tough fight ahead of him as he’s a white man in a country that’s honestly tired of white men running the White House.”

A college is a service. You pay money, you get a degree if you can pass the classes. That’s the extent of it. The notion that you somehow owe them *more* money because you became successful is nonsense.

He got due process with evidence and a confession which was your point. Other Americans go there and some were on the same trip and we’re not detained, why was Otto?  He was guilty.  Do your time and don't whine...

I never said that killing someone over a poster was justified. It is North Korea. Not America.  Torture, hard labor, and murder are well known to be occuring. It is specifically why it is banned to go there.  He KNEW that before he went and still went and stole the poster.  How manu stupid decisions does he have to…

What?

I did listen in good faith, and I did gain an understanding. I was also completely vindicated in my line of thinking.  It took a year for people to get to where I was on day 1.  

That’s a fair statement, but he went very, very, very far out of his way to end up in that situation. This isn’t like he was living every day life. He went to a banned country. He stole when he got there. He was studying abroad and he knew what could happen to him.

People in New York are not normally killed over selling loosies. People are detained and held hostage in North Korea all the time. I don’t see the association.

There’s also video.  He also said he was stealing it as dare from the people back home.  The video is grainy and bad, and it may not be him, but it’s not a slam dunk that he was falsely accused. 

Are you trolling? He was a smart, college aged kid who circumvented American law to go to a country that is banned for Americans. He pleaded guilty to stealing the sign. Going to a hostile country known for taking hostages and stealing a souvenir while there is way beyond youthful indiscretion like drinking underage.

Am I the only one who blames Otto Warmbier?  He wasn't kidnapped.  He voluntarily went to a place these things are known to happen.

The Bible is the basis of the Christianity. An LGBTQ church would directly conflict with the sacred text.

If you continue on your journey, you won’t be with the church much longer. Either they will excommunicate you, or you will leave when you finally realize what the church really is.

I’m pretty much intolerant to stupidity, and I am not nice about calling it out when I see it. I’m equal opportunity with it, so what I’ve learned is simply pointing out the stupidity of a white man as a Black person can get you called a racist.

Baseball and Football have figured out that sports are Soap Operas for men. Those leagues allow the players to seek attention on and off the court/field and, while they publicly complain, love the drama.
