Also a factor. And the rise of the Fox News propaganda machine. Poor journalism, but good sound bites. They sound good to the uneducated and those who are not critical thinkers. This is how the Democrats lost the working clas white votes. Union votes, especially, used to be Democratic, but a lot of those folks just came right out and admitted that they wouldn't ever vote for a n*****. Fox news just gives them soundbite justification after the fact. Like "preserving the American way of life." Sounds great, but means nothing.

I know what it is. It's a black man in office.
And, unfortunately, most of the people who hate him don't even realize that they're prejudiced.
He does the same things that other presidents have done, but because its Obama people foam at the mouth.
Hello, this is racism! This is what black folks have been trying to tell white Americans about for years! This is what it's like to be judged unfairly because you are black.
You see, they dislike the person first, and then they justify it by claiming it's due to this policy or that action. But, they decided to dislike the person first and then post-justfied it.
And, believe me, white folks will tell you and honestly believe they are not racist. They hate his politics!
But when there's such vitriol and violence and genuine ill will towards a person, the likes of I have never seen in the US before and who holds the same political positions that other white presidents have who haven't been so vilified, then it's obvious that it's down to racism.
You don't have to think you are, but you can still be racist.

She is refusing to issue ALL marriage licences, even heterosexual ones!
Can she claim religious conscientious objection to issuing heterosexual marriage licenses? She's never had a problem with that before!
I don't think she's thought this through very well.

The name Emma just topped the list of most popular baby names in the US this year.
I think it's a lovely name.
My heart dropped when I learned you've lost her. As a mother, that breaks my heart.
Would you mind telling us about her? What things did she like? Where was her favorite place? What color was her favorite?
If not, please ignore my request and forgive my ignorance.

I almost gave up today except for a girl her tried to throw herself infront of two cars.............
by umbertoecho inthis may sound insane but i literally have blood on my hands as i have just come home from a counselling session that went wrong...i wanted to collate all that has happened and record it...hospital policy is against it.
i said "what am i alive for then if not to tell the truth" she tut tutted and i walked out sadly in despair.. when i got to the ground floor there was a young girl screaming her head off.
she was afraid, that is all she was...........afraid.

You and I have a similar name. It's a beautiful name.
I just saw my mental health care professional today and, fortunately, I am doing well.
That is not always true, though. I know what it's like to feel on edge and vulnerable and to not be sure how I'm going to go on.
I just do. I don't know how or have any advice to give. I just want to tell you that you are not alone.
I will hold our name in my heart tonight.

WHEN people leave a cult...MAN landed on the moon? Or critical thinking......
by The Rebel ini believe anyone who has voluntarily left a cult has shown they can adapt to new solutions, and have used " critical thinking" skills otherwise most would not have left.. yet i believe a safe place for support is still needed and this safe place i believe is searched for.. now i may not measure up to much in ways of education, but for me personally " critical thinking skills" = " new" a " new" way of thinking, that takes time for me the individual to be visual and to contemplate.
and the more i read about " critical thinking," the more convinced i am that i can live with the ridicule of those that claim i do not possess it.
furthermore i would say those that criticise others " critical thinking skills," often luck the sensibility and thoughts to snore, spit, and fart....nor would they understand a room full of tobacco smoke and cheap booze...where " critical thinking " can often be found in its most profound, in the most sensitive poems and "pictures" that were ever drawn.

I have been smacked down more than once for poorly thought out posts.
But, I'm still here because I continue to want to sharpen my critical thinking skills.
So, thank you to all of you who keep me (and everybody) on their toes!

VA shooting suspect was raised a JW! He mentions it on his Twitter account
by WingCommander inanyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.
bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.
i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

You can be mentally ill and still be criminally responsible.
James Holmes of the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting was schizophrenic. But, he was found to be criminally responsible, I believe because he showed elaborate planning.
The mental health definition of mentally ill and the criminal justice definition are different.
There's no way Vester Flanagan would have gotten off by reason of insanity.
