Trump’s Victory Is a Pivotal Turning Point in Human History

[musiclady]

I wish I could put this entire thread on ignore but unfortunately, I made the mistake of posting to it early on when it still had a topic.

I'd go with that, because I keep getting pinged to it by people I have on ignore and it's getting tedious.

I DID participate in the actual discussion until a certain Ignoree hijacked it with his Bush crush/fantasies.

That's when the thread went south.


(My apologies for my temporary participation in his trolling).

Oh really?  Care to put your money where your mouth is? 

When serving a ministry in the third world, it is necessary to reveal the service I was called to in order to bring the plight of those persecuted and destitute to the attention of the church in the West.

I have a nephew who is a missionary in Ecuador with his wife and kids, they Facebook their mission-trip which is lasting years.

The person who made that accusation clearly has no experience with missionaries.

Agreed, I would love to be able to opt out of threads that I've long since lost interest in.

Of course you are. You are smart,pretty,and people like you. Honest.

You forgot "madly in love".

It would be a nice feature, which I think most of us would use.

I wonder if it's even possible to do that?

I second that emotion.

I wouldn't know. Web sites like facebook and twitter make my head hurt at all the stupidity on display,so I never visit any of them.

You don't have to go to FB and twitter to reaad the stupid shit trump has to say.

[Lando Lincoln]

I as well wish for that feature.

Yes.  That would be handy.

LOL!   So.....having self-control to not click on it.....too much for you?

Nah, people start sniping at each other or the thread veres off topic and still shows up in "Show latest rplies" link.

That, of course, is not the point.

The idea is that some threads go on and on and it would be nice to have the option of not having them pop up after they are yesterday's news.

It has absolutely nothing to do with "self control."  It has to do with not having to see threads (like NFL T&A threads for example) come back into your feed, just because you made the mistake of making one comment on them because you happen to like football. 

(Just an example.  Many more apolitical threads or old threads which might apply).

Trump has solid support from law enforcement and law abiding citizens, apparently, other than civil types of matters, he has never had problems with the law.  It will be good to have a pro-law enforcement chief executive.

Obviously.

Like a lot of folks these days, they have preconceived notions of what they feel someone should embody and act like.

Anything outside their imaginations is 'fake', 'false' and 'haughty'.

Ahhh....the irony.

Exactly.

But there is also an extreme level of ignorance and arrogance coming from a person who says "missionaries don't do this" when it is clear that missionaries DO those things.

There seems to be an epidemic of ignorant arrogance going around these days, eh?

Maybe the solution is to archive threads whose launch was a week or more prior? People who still
want to comment on those threads can choose to do so without them cluttering more current
news (actual or alleged) and/or opinion.

So, he doesn't know the position?

But God never intended His people to choose a king for themselves.  Neither then in Ancient Israel or now in this country.

As I recall (no, silly literalists, I wasn't there, I have merely read), God consented to His servant Samuel's entreaty (never mind how
skeptical Samuel actually was) and allowed King Saul. We know how that worked out.

It's fascinating to watch a people once again demand a monarch to become their representative because they have no more use for God.

Sometimes you wish such books as these (yes, the second is the direct followup) had been required reading before people were allowed
to vote:

I saw a pic on Twitter the other day of Trump and Netanyahu together with the caption "God's only son and the leader of his chosen people together at last" 

But its not a cult.

Of course it isn't. Benjamin Netanyahu would never consent to cult leadership! ;)

Working on it.  But not yet!

Ahhh....the irony.     

Except if only most of us had fifty years of TV, newspaper, magazine and radio interviews, a reality TV show, news stories and an abundance of Twitter feeds that more than adequately ameliorate any preconceived notions about a lack of character in an individual, your irony would apply.
