Fines for public gatherings should be crippling. But in truth that creates more problems than it solves

Re: Random Political Comments
The video of people flooding into churches on Palm Sunday made me lose even more faith in humanity.
I’m so sick of churches getting preferential treatment from this country. Every church should be shut down, if you’re a Christian, you have a fucking Bible. You don’t need to be in a church to worship, it’s probably the easiest adjustment a person can make in this new world.

Re: Random Political Comments
Not making exceptions but it is a predominantly Christian country. In this case, it’s mostly the southern Baptist sects who are the biggest problem. Which isn’t surprising because they’ve long been the center of WTF-ness in Christianity in the US.Jason wrote:But also, they're treating all churches the same.

Yep. Goddamn criminal how much we bleed out in taxes yet there's nothing to show for it.Headhunter wrote:No, favoring one political philosophy over another does not make you smarter, it makes you different. If most Americans knew they largely pay more in taxes than most European countries while deriving almost no civic benefits from it, but making sure the wealthy get wealthier and the war machine gets stronger (and more profitable for investors)...it would blow their minds. At this point, the US is a cultural and technological giant with a political infrastructure that closer resembles a third world dump than the most powerful nation.

Re: Random Political Comments
Breaking news:
After a bit of reflection, I've decided I will NOT be voting for Joe "Where am I?" Biden in the upcoming election. The Democrats don't get to insult my intelligence, shove a dementia-ridden old creep in my face and tell me I'm obligated to vote for him. Fuck off.
That is all.

I really could never justify voting for Biden he should of never been in the running to begin with. I will have to wait until November to make any further voting decisions.

Democrats had three years to figure out how to beat Trump and they landed on a guy who gets lost mid-sentence. It's kind of insulting that they expect voters to fall in line with this.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:What a shit show. This feels worse than Clinton Vs. Trump somehow.
