Where did I go wrong?

El-loco comments on Jan 5, 2018:

OK, I know this is illegal in the US. I reckon that as long as no-one is being co-erced into anything and that it's all consensual then it's alright. The not co-erced thing is important with me. Anyone care to comment?

It may be illegal here in the US except in certain areas like Nevada where they have The Bunny Ranch but there’s plenty of illegal prostitution on places like craigslist I’ve heard. I don’t use prosittutes myself as I’m married and get plenty at home but I have no problem with it.

Lancer comments on Jan 8, 2018:

Some comparisons. At least Trump hasn't started any new wars (unlike Bush) At least Trump is trying to make the government more efficient (unlike Hillary would've done) At least Trump understands how democracy works (unlike the anarchist liberal protestors) At least Trump is reshaping the ...

@shockwaverider The popular vote doesn’t elect the president. It’s the electoral vote that counts. The popular vote was pretty much a dead heat. Time to move on.

A lot of the religious people look down on atheist people and consider them to be immoral.

Because they think you need god to be good. Supposedly the fear of hell and eternal damnation is needed before you can do the right thing. They haven't realized you can be good just because it is the right thing to do and you're note an immoral idiot. And I could go on but my soapbox is smoldering.

Trajan61 replies on Jan 7, 2018:

I’m sure that’s correct. Hell when I was a boy growing up the religious folks looked down on me for frequenting the local bar. Once when I was a senior in high school we had a new superintendent who told me me he was going to call my parents because I went to the bar during the noon hour of school which I had been doing for years. I replied that I had talked to both dad and papa when I was at the bar, go ahead and call my parents. I never heard another word on the matter.

North Korea needs reminding that we have nukes and are willing to use them otherwise they might attempt to take over South Korea like they did in the 50’s. Kim Jong Un only understand one thing, the threat of deadly force in retaliation for any attack he makes. Trumps not going to attack North Korea unless they attack first. The liberals are nuts for criticizing Trump on his handling of North Korea.

I think that the fact that a man of this type could become president is a clear indication that people will choose poorly to push for change. He isn't quite as bad as Hitler, but he runs a close second.
