I never wanted this thread to start or stay in existent from the beginning of it! :11:
Both of you, keep the personal attacks out of it. If you feel that the other is an idiot, then just leave it be.
Move on and address whatever you can without insults.
On topic...
I don't need any government handouts either. But I certainly don't need them in my pocket for every cent that I get or use.
Those who are doing well should feel lucky. Not everyone is.
It is not because you are some superior being, nor that they are not willing to work hard for things.
There are a million differences between each of us. Some just choose to ignore those differences, and the effects that they can have on life.
But, being judgemental of others' situations doesn't sound like something that is condoned by The Bible. :D
What makes that kind of judgemental behaviour worse is that it works its way into peoples lifestyles. It becomes somewhat of a foregone conclusion that people in certain situations have put themselves there, instea f even bothering to actually hear any reasons, or 'excuses'.
Then, people will try to convince me that they are not like that. They listen to peoples problems before passing judgement. But they don't. Even when they hear the words, they already have their minds made-up on the matter, and it shows with every intolerant retort.
I don't care if you want to be someone who wants to judge peopl like you know all, and have been through the toughest circumstances. I don't even care if you want to be that judgemental and then turn around and preach to us about God.
I just want you to realize that, if you do, then you are a hypocrite. That's not an insult. Just an observation.
The government specifically has alot of rules that you take for granted, but that become major life changing events to those who don't have much.
It can be a long, pointless discussion, if you aren't truly open to seeing things from the angle of others.
Anyway, that's my piece on the subject. Gotta get back to work. :D
That is why there is ONLY ONE THREAD allowed. I have seen other sports forums where politics has its complete own forum.
I would say we are doing pretty well with it over here.
Most of the posters here seem to have the same political lean there is nothing wrong with that. Are they supposed to just change their lean to support your "discourse?"
Well, now that I have been labeled a hypocrite, I'll just say a couple more things and I'm off this thread.
Stating I believe in God is not preaching. I am not attempting to push any religion on anybody.
There is a fine line between making a judgement and voicing an opinion based on somebodys' prior statements. After all, there wouldn't be much to read on this forum if people didn't state their opinions (judgements?) about players, coaches, and people in general.
And last, I'm in debt up to my a$$ and live paycheck to paycheck. I'm flat broke and hope to maybe get out of debt before I'm dead and gone. I made my mistakes to get me to this point, and I will hold nobody responsible to get me out of this mess - but me.
All that being said, I'm done with politics on this forum.
This is my final opinion (judgement) on this thread:
Herm blows.
