Random Politics & Religion #09

Pleebo obviously didn't read the article. It's not spelled out in crayon for him.

So don't bother to reply to him.

Either way, like I said before, the Republican's message on this point was for religious freedom. Not against gay rights

that isn't coming from us. (evil white people incorporated)

So... the way we rich white guys achieve and maintain wealth is by buying stock in companies that successfully sell things that people don't really need but buy anyways because they are the suckers that are born every minute...

so the more people that have money the bigger our profits are. that's why expanding into china is so important because there are a billion consumers there. it doesn't matter if they are black or yellow or red as long as their money can be exchanged with the green foldy kind we'll sell you our mom...or at least rent her to you for the hour

racism goes against everything we believe in, which is money....we're like Mister Krabs on spongebob



unless you can figure out some way to make money off racism... then I am all ears...

Not giving equal rights is discrimination. It as simple as that, your christian values doesn't give you the right to discriminate against other people.

What part of "forcing Christian ideology on the country violates the First Amendment and is an attack on the personal freedoms of not just homosexuals, but everyone who doesn't share those beliefs" aren't you getting?

definitely not. we should let Christians marry anyone they want to as well, as long as they have consent.

I strongly believe in that. they deserve the same rights as any other human being.

So we have a political party here announcing they are going to try and reverse a law to let them deny basic human rights to other humans, and that doesn't bother you?

If they announced that they were going to try and change the law to remove the right to vote from black people, would that bother you?

...
The Republican's message isn't to outlaw homosexuality. Far from it....

...
You honestly expect a party structured towards Christianity to not have Christian values?

And yet, the liberals/democrats are pandering free stuff only to the minorities.

Or are you going to deny that? ...

(Newser) – Roger Ailes has reportedly found a new role since resigning from Fox News last month: helping Donald Trump prep for the presidential debates. According to three anonymous sources who spoke to the New York Times, Ailes is helping Trump's team as they get the GOP nominee ready for his first face-off with Hillary Clinton on Sept. 26. The Trump campaign, however, flatly denied the report: "He is not advising Mr. Trump or helping with debate prep," says a statement, per Reuters. "They are longtime friends but he has no formal or informal role in the campaign."

Two of the Times' sources, however, say that Ailes is not only helping with debates but may end up playing a larger role in helping Trump fix what the newspaper calls his recent "series of self-inflicted wounds" that have dragged him down in the polls. Politico notes the pair's "long history," though it also points out Trump had a sometimes-contentious relationship with Ailes' former employer.

What amaze me is how you dont mind governments making laws based on a religion, its exactly what you hate about the middle east.

Police and rescue services struggled on Monday night to cope as cars were torched in cities across Sweden.

In Husby, a suburb in northern Stockholm, emergency services were called at 2am to a parking garage.

“There was a lot of smoke. Two cars were totally burned out. There were 47 cars in total in that part of the garage and most of them have sustained smoke damage,” said Sven-Erik Olsson at Stockholm Police.

Police found a bottle of flammable liquid at the scene in Husby, an area that was at the centre of extensive unrest three years ago.

Earlier, at midnight, rescue service were also called out to Jordbro, a south-eastern suburb of Stockholm.

“Seven vehicles were on fire in the centre there,” said Olsson.

In Malmö, which has seen a rash of car burnings in recent days, police received reports of cars on fire in nine different places in the space of half an hour.

“We’ve received a lot of alerts about cars burning outdoors. Most of them are at addresses in Hyllie. We and the emergency services are getting there as quickly as we can,” said police press spokeswoman Anna Göransson.

But residents were forced in some cases to put the fires out themselves as rescue workers struggled to keep up.

“Residents have acted heroically They have put the fires out themselves with hand-held extinguishers. They are the only ones affected by this. It’s their cars that are burning,” said Göransson.

In Södertälje, 40km south of Stockholm, a biogas car was set alight in the Fornhöjden district.

In Borås in western Sweden, rescue services put out fires that had engulfed a motorbike and two mopeds.

Police made no arrests in any of the overnight cases.

On Monday police in Malmö arrested a 21-year-old man whose car contained cans of petrol and a hammer used to smash car glass, newspaper Sydsvenskan reported.

Former justice minister Beatrice Ask has called on the government to act.

“There has been an exceptional increase in the number of car fires over the years. A proper effort is needed now: more muscle for the police, more police officers, and the government needs to gather the authorities and insurance firms affected,” she told news agency TT.

The fires cost a lot of money for residents in the areas hardest hit, she added.

“Losing a car can mean that you’re not able to do your job.”

Roger Haddad from the Liberals said a greater police presence was needed in the affected areas.

“When people don’t feel secure shops move, businesses close, and social control disappears.”

Haddad also called for a law change making it easier to move abandoned cars, which he said were often the ones torched.

“It’s also the case that burned out cars are left there for weeks. That’s unacceptable and increases insecurity,” he said, adding that he was in favour of more surveillance cameras to help prevent car fires.

The wave of summer car burnings in Malmö has continued, with nine more set alight between Thursday night and Friday morning. And police have still been unable to catch any perpetrators, despite calling in extra resources.

The most-recent string of vehicle burnings started at just after 20:00 on Thursday evening, when five cars were set on fire in less than an hour across the Nydala, Rosengård, Östra Sorgenfri and Augustenborg neighbourhoods.

Later on in the night further cars were lit in Långängen, Hermodsdal, Lindängen and Kroksbäck, while a moped was also burned in Rosengård.

“This kind of pace won’t be sustained indefinitely,” Southern Sweden Police information officer Calle Persson told news agency TT.

Police say there have been no disturbances around the scenes of the fires when they arrived to investigate, and warned that the damage can spread.

“In several of the fires more than one car has been damaged. If a car is sitting beside the other it can get damaged,” Persson noted.

Over 70 car fires have occurred in Malmö since July 1st this year, and police have been left scratching their heads as to why the trend has occurred.

“A lot of cars have been burned in a short time now. We don’t know why it’s happening right now. We haven’t had any major social unrest,” Malmö police spokesperson Ewa-Gun Westford told TT.

In response to the burnings, the city’s police have now called in a helicopter from Gothenburg to assist in their search for perpetrators, but have been so far unable to make any arrests.

Big difference between being anti-religion and not wanting your religion to dictate a country's laws.

But apparently when we repeat, "your religion should not dictate laws" that's all people hear.
