Grunt

I acknowledged that it was a political takedown. People keep bringing it up as though it were relevant. To me, it isn't. Did he do what he was accused of? If you believe it is OK for a 32-year-old man to pursue minors, then vote for him. If you believe he didn't make unwelcome physical advances upon minors, then vote for him. Personally, I believe he did both and that flies in the face of my beliefs. You claiming it was false doesn't actually make it false. If you believe it to be false then vote for him. I've stated what I believe and won't support a man of what I believe to be low moral character.

That he was trolling for teenagers and making inappropriate and unwanted attempts at having relations with them.

Infidelity? I probably wouldn't withhold a vote for infidelity. Harassment? Depends on the severity, details, and victim.

First, my morals and political views have changed greatly as I've aged. I would likely have voted for Clinton even AFTER the allegations. Today, I would not have. Second, I feel I've established and supported my position quite well with regard to the Moore case. I'd rather not have to go back and research politicians and their scandals almost 40 years ago to decide if I would have voted for them at the time.

I was referring to the party as a whole, not the individuals. People won't tell their neighbors to pound sand because they don't want to be accused of defending child molesters and rapists. They keep their mouths shut. The only way to combat it is to make it expensive for individuals to make false claims and for the public to support them. Unfortunately, many of these claims turn out to at least have an element of truth.

They will next week! One for Thanksgiving, one for Christmas, and we donate the rest. This year we only have three, unfortunately.

It's not that they can't fight it, it's that they won't. Ben Shapiro did a great piece on his podcast regarding this. Essentially, it boils down to most on the left don't care about the character of their politicians. Now, after decades, the right is saying "if they don't care, why should we". Public opinion has always had a low threshold. The media is against us. The Daily Wire also had a piece on the number of minutes the media has spent talking about Moore compared to Menendez, who is actually on trial.

I can't be responsible for other voters. I'm only responsible for myself. If I deem the accusations to be credible, I can't support the candidate just because I like his politics. Character matters to me.

I'm not going to go back and research past political scandals that I don't presently have a ton of information on. We can play the "what if" game all day. Specifically relating to Roy Moore, there is enough information out there for me to believe his character is unsuitable to represent me.

I started my Thanksgiving turkey this morning.

Pick one. Some of them have witnesses. Others circumstantial evidence that contradicts his defense. I would never sit out an election. I'd write someone in. The level of evidence I require isn't fixed, I view each case on its own merit. I also don't care what the motivation was for coming forward now. Of course, it was politically compelled. I only care about his character. In a Republic, character matters. Suppose you robbed my house and was caught by my neighbor. You promised to split the money with him if he stayed quiet. A month goes by without you paying him, so he comes to me and turns you in. His motivation isn't pure, but that doesn't change the fact that you still robbed me. Many people put the party over the character when voting. I have a difficult time doing that. Even if I cave in the ballot box, I can't provide public support. That would speak poorly of my own character.

I'm not a therapist. I'm the good friend that kicks you in the nuts and drags you to the car when you are about to do something really stupid.

The claim is plausible. I have little support for people without morals that align with my own.

Do I have to read it?

Personally, I've found this forum to be very welcoming and helpful with sinful behavior. However, you must first recognize the behavior and desire help in overcoming it. If you come here talking about how your wife might not be the one and putting up a poll asking if you should get with her sister, I don't understand how you can be surprised when a group of faithful LDS asks you if you've lost your ever-loving mind. This isn't the Hedonism chat room.

Challenge accepted.

Is this a polite way of telling me I'm not welcome?

You’re comparing Philippine wages to the US economy. To be accurate, you would have to compare the salary to Philippine teachers, who seem to average just over 220,000 PHP annually, or less than half what a dr makes.

If Santa brought me an olive loaf sandwich this year, I'd be eternally grateful.

One of the things I love about Mormons is they write everything down and file it so it can be easily found. Whenever I see a question like this or think of one on my own, I go to LDS.org and use the search bar. I always find a million things that help me out. I don't mean this to be an answer to your question because I enjoy getting the interpretations of others here, too. I just meant this as a possible way to help you out. There are many videos on LDS.org relating to this subject.

I have sheep, pigs, ducks, chickens, etc. They are currently in the freezer for the winter. I suppose I'm seasonally destitute.

Are you writing on a "dots and boxes" game board?

You so cWWazy!

You should seek professional help. Start with your Bishop. Your post struck me as very odd.

Before or after he died of a cocaine overdose?
