@fezz_uk@jsfitchpatrick@kmele Who is pushing a narrative here? Shitty people are shitty people it doesn't matter what side of the fence they live on and every single one of them is different. Please look at the coverage for this compared to the Waukesha massacre, then tell me who is pushing a narrative.
@alpinecoder@jasongesser@libsoftiktok@ClarkCountySch 6/ I was free to make my own decisions, she trusted my judgment and she knew she had raised a kind, thoughtful child into adulthood. Indoctrinated people do not think for themselves, they are taught to believe without being permitted to think critically or question the lessons.
@alpinecoder@jasongesser@libsoftiktok@ClarkCountySch 5/ There was no wailing or gnashing of teeth from my mother when I did this, we simply sat, we talked about why I chose this path and while she didn't agree with everything I said, she could understand and see many of my reasons.
@alpinecoder@jasongesser@libsoftiktok@ClarkCountySch 4/ I carried that learning into adulthood and while I was reading and absorbing knowledge, I chose Paganism because I believe in both male and female energies equally contributed to the beauty of our world.
@alpinecoder@jasongesser@libsoftiktok@ClarkCountySch 3/ We attended the Jehovah's Witness church, the Black AME church, various Christian churches, the local Synagogue, etc.. We learned and we enjoyed learning. It helped us understand other cultures' religious beliefs.
@alpinecoder@jasongesser@libsoftiktok@ClarkCountySch 2/ I was raised Catholic and followed that road until I became an adult because it was my Mother's religion. She never kept me from learning about other religions and actually encouraged it when the Girl Scout troop I was in would visit one another's churches.
@alpinecoder@jasongesser@libsoftiktok@ClarkCountySch 1/ Parents do not teach their children religion in order to abuse them. They teach religion in order to help them to adopt a moral code. Love thy neighbor, do not kill, etc.
@__SaMaNtHaB__@elonmusk 3/ At least @elonmusk made his billions trying (and by most accounts succeeding) to make the world a better place for everyone.
@__SaMaNtHaB__@elonmusk 1/ It is as fair as life can be because other people are dumb enough to continue to pay money to be entertained by them. Find the right niche and you too can be a YouTuber, influencer, or entertainer. Sports are a little different, they actually require physical prowess.
@ZubyMusic I wouldn't hold your breath @ZubyMusic. I wonder how much good that money could have done for the black community had it been used to actually help someone, anyone?
@cynsinaspen@IndivisibleTeam 2/ I do not wish to argue, only to find common ground and I am learning quickly that many are unable or unwilling to do so.
@cynsinaspen@IndivisibleTeam 1/ Have a wonderful night. I have no desire to subject myself to your free speech, so I will practice my right to free association and exit this conversation.
@cynsinaspen@IndivisibleTeam When you cross the border, purposely avoiding points of entry, THAT is illegal. People do illegal things, stop trying to illicit emotion by trying to 'humanize' a criminal action.
@millersucks@IndivisibleTeam 3/ I want immigrants to come to this country. The idea of the American Dream exists for a reason and I am proud of that. I do not care the skin color, I do not care the place of origin, I do not care the sexual orientation, I do not care about anything but legally coming here.
@millersucks@IndivisibleTeam 2/ I am not sure how many times I can say illegal, you know breaking the law, before people will stop twisting this to fit what you want everyone to believe of those who differ in opinion.
@millersucks@IndivisibleTeam 1/ I want people who come here legally to vote! That is part of being an American! It doesn't matter your skin color, your family life, your sexual orientation, voting is your right!
