It will be interesting as to the response you bleeding hearts give to the situation of unabashed and out-of-control looting and shoplifting in San Francisco. It appears to me that all races are involved and it looks to me as if it stems from blatant lawlessness. We need bigger prisons.

San Francisco's notoriously woke District Attorney Chesa Boudin says his office has filed criminal charges against nine people involved in Friday's brazen organized theft of a Louis Vuitton store - with more arrests to come.
The progressive top prosecutor has come under enormous pressure in recent days following a spate of viral videos which show organized groups of thieves ransacking and looting designer stores in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Boudin told reporters during a news conference in San Francisco on Tuesday that the suspects will be charged with crimes including looting, grand theft, burglary, possession of stolen property, firearm possession, commercial burglary.
Two of those arrested were found to be in possession of firearms, according to the district attorney.

Honestly Phat, I don't understand the point of this.
What happened there is not close to what people normally mean by "shoplifting". By misrepresenting it as shoplifting, you only damage your own argument and destroy what little credibility you have left.
Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

My credibility can only be preserved through honesty. Lawlessness annoys me. Even worse it scares me. I realize that what happened there is not ordinary shoplifting. It is a mob mentality in action. As for the charge that they claimed to be Christians, that is irrelevant. It is not what one claims but what one does. You guys even taught me that!

I suppose you imagine that atheists would never do such a thing! The behavior of a group is a behavior unto itself. The makeup of the individuals present is irrelevant.

1. Jesus was a bleeding heart. 2. His response was, "Go and sin no more."

Jesus was indeed a bleeding heart. His was of the noble variety. This is unlike the modern definitions of bleeding heart
quote:Fig. someone, usually considered politically liberal or leftist, who is very emotional about certain political issues, such as endangered species, downtrodden people, the suffering poor, etc. Bob is such a bleeding heart. No cause is too far out for him.(...)a person considered to be dangerously soft-hearted, typically someone too liberal or left-wing in their political beliefs. (...)A person who shows an overwhelming and often ostentatious display of sympathy, especially for those perceived as victims.
What you guys fail to understand is that many of these so-named victims would never know what to do with a stimulus check or a reparations tax break if it were handed to them. The reeducation must happen first. The reparations and lavish tax breaks will only be effective after that. Same with jars' observation that had the US helped the world (they)would have been better off. Never mind that many of "them" use our own weapons against us.

Your "definition" is how right-wing nuts define it. You think "bleeding heart" is an insult when it should be Step One.

It has nothing to do with "failing to understand." It's about empathy. Your "understanding" is just grasping for excuses to do nothing.

What?
Don't the reparations go to the opposite end of the economic spectrum from the tax breaks?

That would be the fault of the arms-makers and the arms-sellers, wouldn't it?

No Phat; can you NEVER actually learn what others say?
Of course, they can be Christians. Being a Christian or Not a Christian has absolutely nothing to do with what someone does.
To be a Christian all one needs is to be a member of any one of the chapters of Club Christian.
There is no evidence that the membership of a Christian has ANYTHING to do with either following what Jesus is written to have taught or even the lowest level of morality and honesty.
The evidence does show that a vast body of Christians and Christianity do not exhibit what Jesus is written to have taught or even the lowest level of morality and honesty.

Would they use our weapons against us if instead of giving them weapons we had fed, clothed, comforted, healed, sheltered and loved them?

One quick question Phat, has your opinion of Trump gone up at all in the past 6 months or so?
