I am sure there will be enough to go around, QE for the whole economy if you please. Inflation ahead? http://www.marketwatch.com/investing...MW_story_quote

Or maybe there will be a Gulag in the desert.

"Kodesch said investor concerns about the drop in federal prison populations over the past few years may be overdone, as the recent deceleration in the decline suggests the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, which eliminated some minimum penalties for drug possession, is running its course.

And with private Bureau of Prisons facilities made up primarily of criminal aliens, Kodesch said recent immigration trends and a new administration with Jess Sessions nominated as attorney general should provide continued demand for those prisons."

My point was it's mostly christian organisations that consistently fight against rights for anyone not white, male and hetero. Directly contradicting your point that your religion has no real impact on people.

Yes.


When I moved to our home in Breckenridge, CO the first thing neighbors asked were:
1. What kind of car do you drive? (can you handle the mountain roads when winter comes or will I have to pull you out of the ditch)
2. Where you from? (Do you know what real winter looks like? or perhaps hopefully not California...)
3. Do you have a snow blower? (Can I sell you my old one)


When I moved to TN:
1: What church are you going to attend?


and nothing else.

So you are saying that religion isn't really a big thing in American society? If Trump was an atheist or wouldn't admit to his religion in the same way he keeps his taxes and medical history under wraps, nobody would give a fig and he'd still be where he is today?

Not anywhere where I've ever lived.

Tom

Ah, that is why you love Trump

History doesn't support that assertion. First-wave Feminism was a Christian movement, as well as the emancipation of slavery and the civil rights movement, among others.

I wouldn't call it Love of Trump. But I sure love how he's turning things upside down. The culture needed it.

Yea but you've been over here forever. It's got a LOT worse over the last 30 or so years

With religious people or illegal immigrants?

Not according to anything I've read they weren't. Involved maybe in the case of the civil rights movement but certainly not prime movers.

On the other hand the KKK, the whole segregation issue, slavery (Southern Baptists anybody) have all claimed strong christian religous support.

And as for christianity's attitude to womens rights historically.....

I've been wondering for a while what is it exactly that annoys me about your posts, apart from a certain quality of the poster that the content demonstrates. So I scanned your posts on the last five pages.

Here are the culprits:

I heard, I think, I don't think, I don't believe, I haven't seen, I'm confident, I heard, I don't know, I suppose, I think, I use, I think, I love, I imagine, I wouldn't call, I sure.

And which institutions were opposing them?

No.

I can't believe this is still being discussed!

I always thought they came to America over greed for gold

This thread is resistant to reason

First thing that popped into my head...


Edit: Aaargh!!! Tom beat me to it. Git!

Actually Islam was the first religion to give rights to women.

So I wonder who Martin Luther King was named after, and he's not really a reverend?

Apparently, you can tilt and slice anything to try to support an assertion.

Most of the social justice movements in the US, abolition and feminism, were spearheaded by Quakers and Mennonites. You'll find names like Elizabeth Stanton, Lucretta Mott and Susan B. Anthony.

What, you thought these were started by drug induced hippies?

He was asking me a personal question. Would you like me to tell you what someone else thinks?
