@MikeDeHart67 @dalepartridge Morally perhaps, but the society won't accomplish on the same level. We have examples like Ethiopia that prove this point; they've been Christian longer than most of Europe and never kept up with other Christian societies. European colonies leapfrogged them in Africa.

@cdefreese @ed_dziuk @MattWalshBlog Proverbs 13:22 is why I have a problem with it, especially considering how so many of these "enjoy it all before I die" people won't be shy to go on welfare and guilt trip their family if their lives fall apart.

@Kristee11121 @MattWalshBlog And there we have it. The normal Plebbit atheist rhetoric on Christianity.

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@eyecewe @Kristee11121 @MattWalshBlog There is no arrogance on my part. The Bible is crystal clear that God does not approve of the attitude Matt is highlighting: hedonistically spending down your estate to enjoy it and leaving little/nothing to your family.

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@Kristee11121 @MattWalshBlog Responding with that much profane vitriol to someone rebuking you with scripture, specifically attacking the authority of scripture itself, speaks volumes about who and what you are.

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@cdefreese @ed_dziuk @MattWalshBlog You will be hard-pressed to find a single person who plans to spend their wealth down to near $0 at death who...

a) Has been a good parent to their kids
b) Is a good grandparent
c) will not expect family and welfare to take care of them if they overspend

"Comrade..."

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@Kristee11121 @MattWalshBlog So you reject Proverbs 13:22 then despite openly calling yourself a Christian on your profile. Interesting take.

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@ed_dziuk @MattWalshBlog You're being obtuse. TFA said most are actively planning to spend down their net worth during their life time and not leave much to their kids. That is selfish and evil.

@CenturionsOath @drantbradley Neither the CC nor OC believe infant baptism will save someone who apostasizes as an adult.

@JoshuaLisec @aeswins Because shaming bad boys is like detailing a high end sports car in terms of increasing the appeal.

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@roddreher @jpodhoretz Of course he's not wrong. We have the testimony of a large swath of former Ds and Rs saying Israel has been doing this song and dance for 30 years and no one but Trump bought it. Then surprise surprise we got into a war without preparing our supply lines.

@rnefftax You mentioned yours and immediately turned it into an insinuation that I'm a wimp and crybaby. Can't imagine why I'd come back at you over that...

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@rnefftax And I work full time while managing the needs of a high special needs child. What's your point? You sound butthurt that a Xennial pointed out to you that you didn't have to work nearly as hard to fund college as the Zoomers do today.

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@Braves012345 @TaraBull I'm a man. If I felt "threatened" by a group like that, I sure as shit am not going to stand my ground, unarmed, and provoke them like that. She was threatened as much as Karmelo Anthony was threatened.

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@DougTenNapel Making college affordable isn't hard. We go back to the 1960s model: 70-80% of the uni budget is paid for by the state, and the state puts a choke collar on the university's ability to hire people who aren't teaching or researching (ie bringing in grants)

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@NightjarPub @ReptilianRebel @Smthingedgy Go do some googling if you still believe this propaganda. The CC had vernacular translations for quite a while before the Reformation. No one could casually afford them pre-printing press. Those who got in trouble were deliberately mistranslating scripture.

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@this_is_JF @Prominent_Bryan You're missing something critical: almost no one in our generation expects SS to be around at all for us. I have never met a single Millennial who is planning on that. Even the dumbest and poorest just expect to die in poverty.

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@robyndnicholson @MeghanMcCain At the end of the day, the state governments need to step in, fire most of these admins AND increase subsidies per student for the first four years of undergrad to get them back to where it used to be.

[AfterTheRocket @AfterTheRocket]

@robyndnicholson @MeghanMcCain College subsidies didn't keep up as enrollment was expanded. You combine that with the employment inflation, and you have a two-fer that needs to be addressed.
