They are arrogant and feel they are above all others. How different they are from what Jesus counseled. Pay God's things to God Caesars things to Caesar.

My heroes would have.to include my brother Tom who showed me what being a man truly was. His humor always shined even when he was facing death. He showed me how love should be unconditional and encouraged me to think for myself. He provided me a prospective that was different from that of a Child raised by Jehovah's witnesses. He.led by example. I miss him dearly.

Burt Reynolds - Dead at Age 82 - Rest in Peace

by flipper in

hadn't seen a thread started on this so i thought i'd start a tribute thread to one of the great actors / entertainers over the years we've enjoyed watching.

he had a wicked, dry sense of humor, especially on the johnny carson show, great acting in deliverance, so if anybody would like to share stories, you tube snippets of talk show appearances, or pieces from movies- feel free to do so !

rest in peace burt, you brought us some really cool entertainment, thanks for the memories.

I think he was a 70s icon that I will never forget

Debates

by MeanMrMustard in

simon,.

i heard you are working on a new forum.

based on your recent discussion with @recovering, what do you think about debate threads?

recovering

The issues Simon mentioned earlier are less likely to happen

They have tools to combat vote fixing . Some use AI to rank arguments.and to aid in moderating.A

they also have metric tools so that the debate is not just an agree disagree ranking.

A moderated debate forum has rules and the moderators are unbiased so that debates tend to be more civil

Here is another Supreme court case that extends some constitutional rights to noncitizens.

Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U.S. 723 (2008)
“Petitioners are aliens designated as enemy combatants and detained at the United States Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.” “Petitioners present a question not resolved by our earlier cases relating to the detention of aliens at Guantanamo: whether they have the constitutional privilege of habeas corpus”. “We hold these petitioners do have the habeas corpus privilege.” [3 – Page 9] “We hold that Art. I, §9, cl. 2, of the Constitution has full effect at Guantanamo Bay.” [3 – Page 49] “[F]or the first time, this Court holds there is […] constitutional habeas jurisdiction over aliens imprisoned by the military outside an area of de jure national sovereignty”. [3 – Pages 79-80]

It looks like the constitution is applying to noncitizens outside of American borders. It is interesting to note that these individuals where not even attempting to immigrate. This makes The case for non citizens having constitutional rights even stronger. The SCOTUS is a credible authority on American law

Lol you keep changing what you say you believe in. Previously you claimed that non citizens had no rights under the constitution . You now claim that they have some rights .

I think that deep down you know your argument is flawed. It is interesting that you continue to debate here. If you are so confident of your position ,why not debate me on the moderated debate site.

The precedent setting cases that I cited are from the U.S. Supreme court. Yes precedent can be overturned ,but since the supreme court set the precedent it would require the SCOTUS to overturn it. Until then that is the current law of the land.
