THE ERA OF TRUMP

[C-Mag]

Rosie O'Donnel attempted to bribe US Senators via twitter.

“As a businessman and a very substantial donor to very important people, when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do,” Trump told The Wall Street Journal in July 2015. “As a businessman, I need that.”

Good Counter point.

“I’m projecting my own personal experience on the world, so you can’t snow me here. I know how I felt, so I also know how all you feel.”

Is that the takeaway here.

Pretty much.

I'm pretty much good with Jesus.

He was a healer.

The inner child... able to see the innocence within... the divine spark.

The problem is that when Jesus is invoked (at least in American culture), it has little or nothing to do with those values.

The problem is the implicit warning/threat/admonition against the recipient.

Resurrection was like a Level 8 spell I think. Jesus must’ve killed around 2 million goblins to get that shit working.

I’m just curious. I’m certainly no hipster trying to earn fake “cool” cred by flashing atheist gang signs, but Occam’s Razor would suggest that the shared Judeo-Christian environment most Americans have been raised in would be the culprit for Jesus name discomfort.

If not that ... then I have to turn to D&D for other possible explanations.

My generation grew up in a school environment where authority figures scoffed at Christianity without consequence, and anyone who spoke positively about Christ was threatened by the faculty.

... or as we call it in America, the liberal infested Public School system. Christmas forbidden, Black History Month mandatory.

Yeah, I know.
I went to public schools too.

Yep. They are doing it right now, proving my point.

That isn't true, even if there is admonishment, and there are hypocrites, and even though Christians can never live up to Jesus, there are millions of Christians striving to be just like him. I grew up with them, I couldnt begin to tell you how seriously people take this, both inwardly, regarding virtues, and outwardly, through service and charity.

My brother and I are both non believers now and he holds a similiar opinion. All he remembers are the personal faults, and the contradictions in the scriptures. But I remember the countless hours where we were instructed to be kind and honest and fair. I also recall endless service projects and continual giving. The members did and continue to quietly give their time and money to the needy, both locally and abroad.

I laugh at dressing up like a sheppard, but he's angry about it. Just gotta see the whole picture.

Delivery drivers aint Mexican, just sayin.

Well, you can ask the Mexican UPS driver that comes to my work every day why he is a UPS driver then...

I think it goes without saying that you have a personal anecdote regarding every, er, this subject. And naturally, a single point of data doesnt refute the notion that delivery driving isnt a stereotypical Mexican job.

Mexico invented package delivery.

They certainly are responsible for many advances in the field.
