  Sharia Law in the US, it's coming folks.

  my question, why would one immigrate to the west and refuse to adopt the western cultural?.

  if you believe our way of life is so degenerated why bring your family to this place.. in a very close 5-4 vote, the city of irving ruled to back the texas state bill banning foreign.

  law from the state.

  I didn't say is was implemented I said it is coming. "

  Again, where is the proof that it is coming? You seem to be basing it on nothing more than rumor and paranoia.

  This was a rumor. Again, I am looking for actual proof, not internet rumor.

  Proof would be a major mews source, naming an actual city where Sharia law was actually implemented.

  
  There has been much global debate on Sharia Law and how Muslims are trying to implement said law into governments, such as the United States.
  One of the rumors was that the the first Sharia Law Court had opened in Irving, approved by City government. However, Mayor Van Duyne has proven the rumor false, who took to social media to let residents know the truth.
  Post by Beth Van Duyne on her facebook account:
  Sharia Law Court was NOT approved or enacted by the City of Irving. Recently, there have been rumors suggesting that the City of Irving has somehow condoned, approved or enacted the implementation of a Sharia Law Court in our City. Let me be clear, neither the City of Irving, our elected officials or city staff have anything to do with the decision of the mosque that has been identified as starting a Sharia Court.
  As Mayor of the City of Irving, I took an oath to uphold the laws of the State of Texas and the Constitution of the United States. I respect the freedoms guaranteed under the First Amendment and believe that protecting fundamental constitutional rights and ensuring that individual rights are not violated or denied is essential.
  Currently, Texas Supreme Court precedent does not allow the application of foreign law that violates public policy, statutory, or federal laws. However, now that this issue has emerged in our community, I am working with our State Representatives on legislation to clarify and strengthen existing prohibitions on the application of foreign law in violation of constitutional or statutory rights.
  American citizens need to remember that their rights are guaranteed by the Constitution and I believe no one should subjugate themselves to anything less. While I am working to better understand how this “court” will function and whom will be subject to its decisions, please know if it is determined that there are violations of basic rights occurring, I will not stand idle and will fight with every fiber of my being against this action. Our nation cannot be so overly sensitive in defending other cultures that we stop protecting our own. The American Constitution and our guaranteed rights reigns supreme in our nation and may that ever be the case.

  i have often wished i knew better words to give here when i see couples 'bleeding'.

  1. avoid letting the children take over your lives.

  although you need to love and care for your children in the very best ways that you can, it’s also important that they don’t dominate your entire relationship.. children are an important part of your relationship.

  There was a satirical article saying that Sharia law had been implemented in Deerborn, but you know that hasn't actually happened, right?

  So there's talk? Wow.

  I meant actual proof.

  "Trump is a racist." In what ways, what has he said or done that makes him racist?

  He claimed a Hispanic judge could not give him a fair trial simply because of his race.
  

  He claimed Mexican immigrants are rapists, which is not only racist, but patently untrue (illegal immigrants have a lower crime rate than the general population)

  When his father's company was sued for racial discrimination in renting (for which there was ample evidenvce), he hired notorious lawyer Roy Cohn to start an all out legal war.

  He is beloved by white supremicists everywhere.

  He called a man at his ralley "my African American"

  As proof he "loves Hispanics" he tweeted a picture of himself eating a taco salad.

  He falsely claimed Obama was a Muslim and not a US citizen.

  Off On A Trip - But Little Enthusiam

  never was a jw, but been here a long time.. off on a trip in a week or so, uk to andorra to stay with a friend for 10 days or so (beautiful place) then a week or so wending through france back home.. did the same trip the last couple of years -it was wonderful.

  met some lovely people, including an ex-polce woman over coffees and calvados after dinner.. but ... i don't feel so enthusiastic about this trip.

  i'll visit the cathar sites and other places.. maybe- just maybe - i've come to the conclusion that these trips are not as much fun if you don't have a companion to share it with..

  Traveling is more fun with another person, but it still sounds like a pretty fun trip. I just got back from a trip to the East Cost and it was anything but fun. I was helping out a family member in the Baltimore area and you couldn't pay me to live there. Horribly hot and humid and the mosquitoes are out of control, just call me itchy. I am so glad to be back to mild San Francisco bay area weather.

  I am holding my nose and voting for Hill. The choice between a dishonest political hack and a narcissistic idiot is pretty clear to me. With Hilary you get the status quo, big business gets its way as usual, but the country goes on, hopefully we can get some better choices going in four years. With Trump, who knows if there will even be a country in four years? This is a man who doesn't respect civil rights or the constitution and wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the ass. How anyone could still imagine this vain, petty, vindictive peacock would be anything but a disaster if elected is beyond me.

  If there were a viable third party candidate I would vote for them but there isn't and I'm not willing to risk Trump getting elected by splitting the Democratic vote.

  i'm probably going to say some things here that will disappoint many.

  there are some that may look back over the years and say "man i really blew it" i'm not writing the following to scold for failures, but rather to help those who are young enough to put into practice what god wills for their life, and also to those of us who are in our middle years that still have time to change some things, in order to please god and find a peace that only being in his will can bring.

  first let me say that god didn't create man for you.

  LOL

  I wouldn't waste my time refuting such ignorant nonsense, anybody who would post this is clearly impervious to reason and logic anyway.

  Careful you don't injure your knuckles as you walk away, the ground is rough.
