Dr. Shane Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 This thread was started by bevin. He is no longer a member here and many of the forums where he participated are much more peaceful since he has left. He was very insulting and inflammatory. Behavior likes his will not be tolerated in the Politics forum. If I had been the moderator when this thread was originally started, it would have been locked up right away. We can make the points we want to make without being so provocative and insensitive to others. Pastoral Family Counselor...

Dr. Shane Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Below is the first post I made on this thread. My opinion hasn't changed. "Lying" is an emotionally-charged, inflamatory word that does not belong in a mature, healthy, exchange of ideas. Pastoral Family Counselor...

We can make the points we want to make without being so provocative and insensitive to others. I haven't read this thread except for the last two or three posts with bevin still participating. Not exactly sure why the explanation. Unless you felt someone was being insulted in the current portion of topic Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this.

Dr. Shane Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I was responding to Redwood's question. I wonder if I pulled a switch and titled this Obama Administration Lying Again to America ... if I could get away with it? This thread was dormant for 2 years and 9 months. It was resurrected to ask if this type of behavior is still acceptable today. The answer is no. Had I been in charge then, it wouldn't have been acceptable at that time either.

Dr. Shane Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Here is another one of my posts from this thread. I don't see a war with Iran happening. If it does I will apologize for being wrong. Bush has less than two years left. So at that time we will see if I am right or not. I guess there is no need for me to apologize. Pastoral Family Counselor...

Moderators lazarus Posted November 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2009 I am still always surprised when I hear SDA's champion socialism. Perhaps you are not sure what socialism is. I wonder how many SDA's champion socilaist roads, socialist national parks, socialist recreation centers, socialist schools, socialist libraries, socialist highways, socialist bridges, socialist law enforcement, socialist emergency services, socialist court systems, socialist prisons, socialist regulation agencies, socialist air traffic control, socialist health care for the military, socialist rail systems, and last but not least socialist space exploration. Quote: I know some progressive SDA's that have a far different view of end time events and the events leading up to that than I do. Sorry, have to ask you for an example. What is the alternative end time view of progressive SDA's. Point me to a book/website sermon etc. Quote: Very little in that bill has anything to do with health and all to do with control. That's just wild exaggeration that doesn't help your other arguments to be credible. Of course many belieive the provisions in the bill will make things work, too expensive etc. but to suggest there is VERY LITTLE about health is simply bizarre. Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

Read it,not just here and there READ IT. It is about force,taxes and taxes and towards the last still has provisions to pay for abortions. Everything you do is based on the choices you make.
