"Facts." "Reasons." "Causes." "Justifications." Anything but "excuses." Hey, whatever helps you sleep well. But can you actually give me one real reason why you can't add $25 to only one of your high balance debts each month? That's $12 every 2 weeks, if you're on a bi-weekly pay schedule; or...

Um...you might want to re-check the Harley thing vs import ... but then again, I guess it depends on how you define "import."

Not what I was here to discuss, Poncho. We both agree that not all muslims are true to islam. I can leave it at that.

On page 3, Evangelist asked: Nope. Your continual excuses as to why none of our suggestions will work for you, don't need any more response from me.

You're correct, of course; I was using the grading system as an example of the inherent flaw of the common core system being used as a benchmark, but shouldn't have implied that the two were linked.

Nope, Poncho, I'm not. I'm judging islam by its tenets and doctrines; I'm judging its followers by whether they actually follow those tenets or not. Same as we judge fellow "Christians" by whether they actually follow Christianity or not. The only reason I jumped into this was to debate the...

There are allegedly 1 billion catholics on our planet. Most of them have been told that because they're catholic, they know Jesus. How many of them do you think actually know Jesus? And how many go to confession, take communion and say their Hail Mary's on Sunday, and spend the other 6 days...

Does it make one more of an expert than a CNN or Fox News reporter that visited the Middle East once or twice? Or someone who went to Dubai on vacation? Or someone who studied Islam from reading books, without interacting with any of its followers?

I seem to recall somewhere in the first book Hagrid telling Harry that it was okay to lie to his step/foster parents; finished the book anyway, but disregarded any so-called Christian themes. Wish I could find the exact quote, but I don't have the book. Borrowed it from the MWR tent while on a...

Woody - the misunderstanding about why common core should not be adopted centers on the common core methods; the actual problem is, as Rev points out in the previous message, using the standards to hold public schools accountable for their performance. As a teaching method, there are aspects of...

Yeah, that's right. We can't make a change because tha Man is keepin' us down. We have blacks and hispanics as congresspeople across the nation. Keep electing more. WE'RE the folks with a "sense of decency." And the only way to address the bias in the system is to change the system. Sure it...

So you keep the high balance, high interest cards in perpetuity, paying only minimum payments; but you pay more on the low balance cards. I think you like being in debt. Let he who hath ears, hear.

Regarding the bolded -- how are you going to know it was for the purpose of war if you don't follow due process? And due process includes Miranda.

And THAT is the perfect exemplification of what I wrote. Why do you need to "convince white people"? Isn't that the basic problem here: the dependency on the old, rich, white people to "take care of us"? Use the system to change the laws. How hard is that to understand? If you can't get your...

On page 2 of this thread, you said in response to Sovereign Grace: Now you say: You're being deceitful and dishonest--with yourself. You're making a distinction between your credit cards and your debts; credit cards ARE debt. The financial institutions do NOT make a distinction when they...

You didn't use the word "disagree"; you rated Carpro's post, #23 of this thread as "disagree."

Folks, wheels are spinning.... His new place of residence provides cable, and he was given a TV; the TV could have connected directly to the cable outlet, or he could have paid less than $20 for a cable converter; but he chose to buy the Apple TV so that he has access to internet TV. And then...

So even if they're American citizens, guaranteed due process under the Constitution -- we can toss the Constitution aside if we simply declare them "enemy combatants"? Isn't that the same exact reason we fought the Revolutionary War in the first place?

The problem is, taking a knee isn't changing anything, and isn't going to change anything. Increase awareness? Okay; so what next? Expecting an overnight change in social awareness/consciousness because you took a knee? Isn't gonna happen. USE THE SYSTEM. Change the laws. Take advantage of...

Having served as part of a pulpit search committee a couple of years ago - I can confirm that yes, we had stomachs and not a brain between us.... Now, I have no stomach for it, and still no brain....
