You should never piss into the wind. Especially in a pissing contest with another.

Too scared to be any more specific A1? - LOL
Look, I know there's no proving points to the dogmatic and the illiterate. It doesn't matter if it's Muslim Extremists in the Middle-East or wound-up deplorables in America, it's the same basic mix of illiteracy, dogma and emotions that no logic can ever penetrate. But then again, there are so many other reasons for doing what I do. In fact I should really be thanking you folks.

Well, I could have told you that... I hope you didn't get a disease from it. ;)

I apologize if you interpreted my comment as saying YOU don't believe in God. That was not my intention. I was using the collective "you" in my statement to refer generally to anyone who is an atheist.
Well, I appreciate the apology and I get the "collective" context, but it seems ill-placed in a conversation with someone who isn't an atheist.

Eh, we all do... And I might have confused your response with someone else. I do that sometimes.

Fair point. My wife and I raised two children and maybe we were lucky but they both seemed to understand right and wrong without much effort from us. I also used to coach youth sports and the problematic kids always seemed to be the exception to the norm and more times than not when I met the parents I would understand why.

Maybe they do inherently know and they just choose to ignore societal conventions. How long did your parents keep reminding you to say "thank you" to people before you remembered to do it on your own?

I honestly don't remember... LOL
I think saying "thank you" is different though... Social conventions are about language and protocol and yes, people need to be educated about them. But how to we equate that to 'good' when murderous dictators will still say "thank you" when someone brings them tea?
I was referring to a more primitive level, based on interactions like crying or hugging or hitting or sharing. For instance, I think most kids inherently know there is something wrong with making other kids cry. We can even see this to some extent in the animal kingdom.

I got side-tracked with a religion dispute... Some good points here though...
Exactly! I don't think it serves anyone to be forced into this union that constantly oscillates between opposite agendas. We never get a chance to prove or disprove anything.
I would suggest we don't. It was never a concern when the states were drawn up. People need to learn to deal with what they have and if they want something they don't have then make some deals with people who do.
I would leave that up to the people in those "sections".
That probably wouldn't work out so well for the rednecks as they are massively outnumbered, considerably under-funded and basically surrounded.

I'd have to agree with those percentages. Like you also, I've gotten tired of the diatribe from the extreme right which seems to be spreading in their party. I used to passionately support the unity of the country, now I'm ready to draw a dividing line and have both go to our respective corners and be done with it. We would see how things would out with for the people with these two opposing beliefs on how to run a country and see who will be happeir in the end.

Oh yeah, getting back to the original point of the post... It looks like the "stimulus" bill, passed. I hope it helps.

Fight over it...There's a predictable and evolved thought.

Well, I see you're for gerrymandering manipulations, an undeniable form of corruption.

As I explained before my comment was “ tongue and cheek”. Wouldn’t be rednecks, anyway. Conservatives versus liberals. Rednecks would be the shock Troops.

Uhm, it was Your people that said they were going to make her a one term seat not I or even the repubs~~
The talk has been going on for some time now ...
As for gerrymandering which both sides do and have done for decades, I personally do not care for it, because the politicians have abused it so much, but I do stand by the ruling in 1964 where the Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution requires that v****g districts be equal in population. ( reminds you of the need for the e*******l college doesn’t it)
While the US Supreme Court has ruled that redistricting that discriminates on racial or ethnic grounds is unconstitutional, it has been reluctant to issue a similarly-strong ruling for partisan redistricting. The Court has ruled that excessive partisan gerrymandering violates the Constitution.
Section 2 of the V****g Rights Act is a nationwide prohibition against v****g practices and procedures, (including redistricting plans) that discriminate on the basis of race, color or membership in a language minority group...
But it stops right there because of the 1964 decision.. and it stops right there with our elected who Wait for the opportunity in redistricting every ten years..
They (your people) will show soon enough when redistricting is done...assuming they win to begin with of course..
