dtucker300, the people involved with the open boarder as well allowing these scum to be immediately let out of jail need to be prosecuted for failure to honor their oaths. Quite frankly they do not give a good damn about the harm they are causing to our citizens and their communities. I have a solution for this but I will allow you to let your own imagination go wild with it. Thank you very much for your insight. The individuals on this platform that give their little eye rolling emojis or other ignorant responses are just being argumentative and petulant for argument sake.

"I’m new but I’ve read several posts and the only ones that are rudely uncalled for so far are from those with a little more left leaning viewpoints."

That is merely your own hyper-partisan viewpoint, I have seen Rude, uncalled for comments coming from BOTH sides as well as some that are either self-proclaimed or perhaps ACTUAL centrists. If you were NOT so hyper-partisan, perhaps you would be capable of seeing that it really isn't a one sided problem. As for "uncalled for" rudeness, that is rudeness that can be considered unreasonable, that primarily comes from the right, but it can and does come from anywhere, just mostly from the right side.

I went back through this thread and I suspect the "victim" of which you speak is likely Ginny_Dandy. If you will go look at their posts that "triggered" this "uncalled for rudeness", with an open, reasonable, mind, using logic, you will likely see that their rudeness, while not necessarily "required", it was certainly called for. When one posts such an obviously insane conspiracy theory, it is to be expected. You don't actually believe that some "g*******ts" want to exterminate the human race, do you? If you do, please enlighten me as to what their motive may be, I fail to see what possible motive they may have. Of course I take a very dim view on CTs. I would much prefer if we keep discussions in the "Main" section of OPP within the realms of reality. There is absolutely NOTHING realistic about this particular CT, some have a hint of possibly being plausible, but not this one. Save your "righteous indignation" for a more worthy cause.



As for, "I wonder why it’s impossible to have a respectful difference of opinion?"

Again, that is NOT an issue isolated to just one party, it too is an issue that spans the political spectrum. Take off those "conservative shades" you are wearing and perhaps you will notice that people from ALL OVER the political spectrum are guilty of being disrespectful when/where there is a difference of opinion. basically, this issue is virtually the same as the previous one located directly above and therefore deserves the same answer as well.



As for, "I find that being willing to consider other’s thoughts and opinions is the only way to coexist without unnecessary cruelty."

It would seem obvious to me that you yourself are not even "willing to consider other’s thoughts and opinions", if you were, you would see that the issues you blame on the left are not "l*****t issues" but rather an issue spread all across the political spectrum. Until you yourself are "willing to consider other’s thoughts and opinions", you can't very well expect others to either, can you?



Onto, "Guessing, I would say you disagree with me wholeheartedly."

Do you really think that making unwarranted assumptions like that is going to garner open discussions into bridging the gap? I think not.



"I just think that everyone deserves simple, respectful, consideration."

If this is so, perhaps you should start by NOT blaming the "other side" for everything. Stop, consider what the other side sees, what they think of what they are seeing, why they may see things a certain way, then you can TRY to discuss your differences. IF you are reasonable, stick to reality, don't lay all the blame on the "other side" seriously consider what the "other side" has to say, "simple, respectful, consideration" should not be a great ask. You must give in same measure as you expect to receive.

Some very "disrespectful" acts to "watch out for", laying all blame on "opposing side", Making unwarranted allegations towards the "other side", expecting the "other side" to make ALL consolations, expecting the "other side" to seriously consider what you have to say while not granting the "other side" the same respect, expecting the "other side" to accept "alternate facts" (fallacies), "alternate reality" (fantasy) or "alternate t***hs" (lies), every one of those things are ways one shows a lack of respect to their counterparts.

Hindu practice is an item of Greek Mythology, Zoroastrian Theology was the first Religion that demanded literal believe in the end only the State and it's very few Zoroastrian Priests were having their meetings in a telephone box only when Superman wasn't using it.

Then came the next literally believed Religion Christianity brought into being by stories the contemporaries Flavius Josephus and Saint Paul (formally Saul) both were t*****rs empowering a fledging protest movement with a storyline.

The Old Testament was never meant to be believed literally, that's why the contradictions don't matter.

Anyhow my point is is as time went by credibility narrowed the a bit the components of Religious belief particularly when the demand for really true believing was demanded.

Into the end we have the most credible Religion to be Islam because it's less far out making it credible, and coupled with Jesus Christ (the real One the Josephus and Paul borrowed from) coming back (me) credibility is through the roof not out the window.

All “f*ggots” are children of God and deserving of the same respect everyone else is as long as that relationship is mutual and between adults, I don’t think it’s anyone else’s business and certainly none of us are qualified to judge them. I think we’d see each other in a better light if we would pick the heart and mind of a person to look at in depth and decide who they really are instead of one aspect of them you disagree with. I don’t have to understand. They will stand before God and answer for their own t***sgressions and I will answer for my own. God h**es the sin not the sinner. I pray you will find yourself with a more tolerant heart because you might find yourself in a situation one day where that “f*ggot” turns out to be someone you care about a great deal. I know, my son is a homosexual.

Threr has never been a delayed reaction to a v*****e. The Mederna and P****r v*****es have been under developement for over ten years. They just had to swipe in the m**A that made antibodies specific for C***d. If you don't get a v*****e, you will get C***d. The new strains are as infectious as Measles, the most contagious disease known to man.
If you get C***d, you have a 75 percent chance of getting heart damage, even if you don't have any symptoms. Also other damage, like lung , kidney and brain damage. Also you can become a long hauler, which may end your working life.
You may have to show proof of v******tion to go to events, like football games, to fly on airplanes, or go to Disneyland. I think it is a good thing to do. I don't think it is a bad thing to do, protect your clientele.
