100% agree. That’s why the only people who trust Trump are the other hardcore supporters. The rest of us realize “If this is how Trump treats people, he’ll treat me that way too when I am no longer of use to him.”

Exactly. And if we scare people over every mouse, they won’t listen to us when the actual wolves show up.

Can you prove the US did?

I saw this very touching political cartoon.

I never really thought about it but you are absolutely right about this. Perfectly said.

Famous Churchill quote.

I used to share a ward with her and her husband, Congressmen Richard Swett. Without question two of the most loving and kind people you will ever meet.

Amen to that bud!

In high school they made us all like up by height for graduation. I was the shortest guy, and almost every other girl (!) was taller then me too!

Dude, I’m almost a foot smaller than you!!!!

This is a tight rope for religious people to walk on. If we want to say human trafficking/grooming is all over the place…well okay, but since that door has been opened, by us, a reasonable person has the right to say “You know, I’ve heard churches have this problem too. Perhaps I should stay home with the kids this Sunday.” It’s a totally fair point on their part.

No. People post stupid things like this all the time: https://www.wilx.com/content/news/State-police-warn-about-sex-trafficking-misinformation-online--561364401.html We are scaring people to death. Nope. It all depends how you define it. How many non custodial abductions have you been called on in your career? Satanic Panic/Day Care scare 2.0. Future generations will look back at this and cringe.

Missed this part. Agree verbatim.

Oh samE my brother. Nothing but love.

I’m aware of it, I just refuse to believe the urban legends surrounding it. Thanks to Ballard and his gang of merry men (and their media co conspirators) we now have suburban moms scared to go to Target because they think they’ll get human trafficked. If you think logically, the odds of a car accident are astronomically higher. But they aren’t afraid of that. It’s disgusting.

This is part of four stages of grief. Bargaining. Where we’ll admit that Tim Ballard did something wrong as long as we can point to things that others did wrong. It’s like getting a DUI and trying to downplay it by telling the cop your neighbor got one too, so arrest him. Acceptance will be coming soon.

Vice was proven right. Fascinating

I understand fully my friend. This is one of those times where my head says one thing and my heart says another.

I generally agree-though if one of your friends got attacked at a bar and you just stood there and watched you are a pretty bad person. I have no problem giving money and equipment to Israel at this time.

I get it, and I agree. But I can’t be naive bro. I feel super sorry for LDS down here. People know nothing about the LDS church, except that they “aren’t Christians.” When you ask them “Why?” You usually don’t get an answer!

Amen.

The entire “Mormons aren’t Christians” debate shows that many non LDS Christians really dislike LDS. I find it sad of course, but I also think it shows that nonLDS Christians are a little…um…dense. If they were ”wiser” or “smarter” they’d unite with LDS and try to combat the stunning rise of non believers and reach some attainable social goals. Instead, these Christians want to pick fights with LDS. Sad.

Driving in Florida is wild. You have clueless tourists in Orlando, New Yorkers who drive like New Yorkers in Miami, then young men in huge pick ups here revving their engines to race 70 year olds in their Cadillacs who just want to go to the pharmacy then chill at the beach.

Dude I tried to tag you but couldn’t spell “Phoenix”, got distracted and forgot. Glad you posted!!!!!

Thanks. From my own experience Baltimore-DC-Fredericksburg-Richmond has the worst traffic in the world. It’s like one giant mess from Boston down to southern Virginia!!
