The Right Side of the News

Maybe i dont understand whats going on then. Can you give me your perspective? One of my close friends happens to be a Catholic cub scout leader and has sons close to the age of those students and he sides against the activists. It apparantly looks that way to me as well. The Israeli group clearly started in with the whole white privilege thing. Granted the teen boys behaved as teens can do but were not the instigators. Please tell me your perspective. You know im not pro Trump but I also am not anti white as it is counter productive. This whole privilege thing causes more harm than good. Please rxplain tp me why my opinion is uninformed or wrong.

Usually i dont agree with you when you rant about a vile leftist media but after reading many news and opinion pieces on this incident i can see the tensiom and in my opinion unjustified backlash against any attempt at a fair and balanced report of what actually went on. Why is it that fringe minority groups are always favored as the good guys even when the videos clearly saw them instigate confrontation. Granted Trump is a nationalist and in my opinion not too bright but I side with you in this one. Two wrongs dont make a right. Maybe my people have been knowing jerks and oppressors in past history but trying to make an issue that we are privileged or always wrong will only cause more conflicts. We need to focus on equal treatment of all classes of people rather than vilify any one group....and i mean ANY.

I've been thinking about the conscious and unconscious symbolism behind this event. I will elaborate later when i get home and on my computer. I cant type quickly on my android.

I hope im not racist but i likely have unconscious hangups. Consciously i still resist the whole white privilege accusation. There is no reason that i should be vilified because of the behavior of my ancestors...although some racism does exist in our society and much of comes from populists.

I can acknowledge it but dont want to have to pay reparations of any sort nor be penalized for it. It would be like getting arrested for a crime your father did.Edited by Phat, : No reason given.

No i understand what you mean. Im all for equal treatment of everyone.

I suppose we can check a wide variety of sources to see if there is any consensus. Tell me, does this website know anything? Or are they biased one way or the other also?

What type of work did he do? My Dad was a general contractor...he built houses. Usually around 2 a year or so. His income back in the early seventies was only around $14,000.00 a year, but it was enough to support me and my sister, sending her to college and me to a private school. These days, it is different, however. Unless one makes around $60,000 a year one cannot successfully support a family the way my father did. Everyone will eat and get by, but life is tough. The cost of living has increased quicker than wages.

I would love to discuss life 101 with you at our own private topic. I will try and respect you. I can be a loose Canon sometimes. Random Discussion: Faith & Phat ONLYAll I know about Mueller is that he was respected by both sides. And he did a thorough job. If he couldn't find anything substantial about President Trump than Congress won't find anything. Trump is not perfect, but then again none of us are. Let he who is without sin start throwing rocks.

Have you posted at our Great Debate Thread yet? Or do you fear that I will attack you...for that is not my intention. We may disagree on some things, but I am sure that we will agree on many others.

Correction. Your opinion has been summarized, supported by those posts.But I don't want to fight. We are here to discuss the reality of the times we live in.Come to Our Great Debate(Discussion) Thread and talk withg me. We both love to talk, and if we can voice our opinion, people at EvC can respond to us at Peanut Gallery Comments on Great DebateEdited by Phat, : No reason given.Edited by Phat, : No reason given.

The jury will be out long after the cows come home as to what constitutes fake news vs "real" news. Of course, we ALL know the answer. But allow me to be honest with all of you in this thread.About a year ago, I purchased a smart speaker from Amazon. It took me a while to understand home wifi and how to hook it up, but within a month I learned how to use it. Faith knows the stories I used to read many years ago about the antichrist, the last days, plagues, and specifically this scripture

Matt 12:36-37
36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words, you will be condemned."
NKJV

Words are very powerful.So getting back to my story.We (my friends and I) soon found out that Alexa records everything that you say to it. Amazons disclaimer is that this feature is only used so that Alexa(Amazon Echo) can gather information and become "smarter". The smart speakers are essentially in the cloud. So lets ask ourselves just what the Cloud is?

How accurate is the information in this cloud?

​

Who monitors the clouds information?

Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. ~RC Sproul

Subjectivism may very well undermine Christianity.
In the same way that "allowing people to choose what they want to be when they grow up" undermines communism.~Stile

How about you and I starting our own Great Debate?

Because personally, I feel that our conversations are entertaining. If such a conversation was uninterrupted, it would provide infotainment to our brethren and sistren.

Im just saying we would derail any topic we were in.Better to be Right than Wrong.
Better to be Righteous than LEFT Behind. See how Faith thinks?
