Hi everyone! Just thought I'd jump on here and say hello randomly. I'm certainly not a stranger to these forums, but I've been gone for some time and had a lot go on since then (including almost dying). Hope y'all are chilling here!

Your post literally was doing that.
Quoteyou sound so conspiratorial when you're yelling about how the christians are controlling everything lol
that's it
Missed the point. I was saying that to show that the idea of Christians, the majority in the population by a vast margin with the most representation in government, being discriminated against in the United States is fake. Not even REMOTELY close.
Quotealso there's no way that many americans are christian (or at least even semi-devout)

Either that or it's a "No True Scotsman" situation.

How is it equally stupid to say those things? Your statement was factually incorrect b/c Jews make up <5% of US population whereas Christians are >70%

The reason that "liberal bias" seems so rare in the U.S. is because what the U.S. perceives as liberal or leftist is nowhere remotely that almost anywhere else in the world.

In the United States, universal healthcare is considered a radically liberal idea. Everywhere else in the industrialized world disagrees; profits should not be put before people's lives. Private market health care is more costly and gives lower quality outcomes to the majority of people, because it rations care based on the size of someone's wallet rather than need (as you might find in other nations).

The idea of taxing income past 10,000,000 at 70% was labelled an insane idea when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proposed it, but the vast majority of the rest of the world has comparable tax rates. In fact, during the golden age of economic expansion in the United States, the post-war 1950s, our top marginal tax rate was 90%.

The Overton Window (ideological views considered acceptable in mainstream discourse) has been shifting further, and further, and further, and further, and further to the right in America for so long now that Obamacare was called a liberal plan, despite being originally proposed by the Heritage Foundation.

Similarly, Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to over a million undocumented immigrants. Now, the supposed "crisis" on our southern border has people believing completely made up statements like "thousands of people are pouring in every day."

BTW, again, if you want to stop the immigration issue, end the war on drugs.

Splatoon, with all due respect, it doesn't seem to me that there's anything Donald Trump could do to be the wrong leader, based on your statements. If Trump were actually a biblical man, of course, he would be being held up and praised. But if he's not biblical, then we just pray for him. If God is ultimately in control of everything, then why ever care about politics at all?

I'd be interested to see which policies of Trump's you think are good, specifically as it pertains to biblical values. In particular, verses like:

I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.
Matthew 25:35

The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 19:34

You shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 10:19

Or if we want strong border security and/or are worried about drug cartels, violence, etc. from Latin America, we could end the fucking drug war and get rid of the vast majority of the demand for the cartels in the US lol. The US is the main source of demand for these drugs, and the majority of immigrants crossing the southern border are fleeing drug cartel violence (BTW, the majority of illegal/undocumented immigrants come here on planes and overstay their visas).

Prager University? Didn't we just have this conversation about unbiased sources?

Prager University is as much of an educational institution as Trump University.

It's also important to remember that anything you want to copyright is already-copyrighted music from the people who wrote the music to begin with. I'm not defending this guy stealing Slow's stuff obviously, just that I don't know how much legal grounding we have to stand on given that this entire site is more or less illegal.
