  My thoughts are with you. A good parent hurts when their child hurts.

  I hope you can soon celebrate good health with your son.

  Another Kim Davis inspired self-invented "gay issue"

  what is it about some of these self proclaimed "christians" who go seeking persecution when it don't exist?.

  we've had a case locally in calgary where the initial reports sounded like the person had a legitimate claim: a bus driver didn't want to drive the bus in a gay pride parade and said he'd resign if they made him and that the local transit company was threatening him to force him to do it.. except it was all invented ... by him !.

  they already proactively told him that there was no danger that he would be asked to drive that bus in the parade (i.e.

  We're asking you to up your game You're a poster who has discussions and contributes.

  What we are pushing you to do is improve your logic and rhetoric. If you come to a conclusion based off of faultyl logic, a poorly thought out argument or even untrue facts, then your powers of convincing others are weak.

  You can do better. If I didn't think you were capable of it, I wouldn't be interacting with you at all.

  I had difficulty making a coherent argument when I first began posting here and I was called out. In a factual way and without a lot of cheerleading. But, I kept listening and learning.

  Learning about logical fallacies helped me clean up my rhetoric to make better arguments.

  We're not trying to be nasty. We're pointing out where you can improve. If I thought it all would go over your head, I wouldn't bother.

  I believe if you researched common Logical Fallacies, you would improve your arguments very quickly. Best of luck!

  And again, so what?

  It's as if you are miffed that civics and governance are political.

  Umm, that's how it works.

  Maybe you are actually upset that the US is extremely polarized poltically right now? I know I am.

  But, that's a totally different conversation.

  Ratigan, why do you think the Supreme Court has an odd number of justices?

  ( The answer is: so they never have an evenly divided court. )

  I don't understand why you have such an issue with a "divided" court. Why is the existence of 5-4 decisions so disturbing to you?

  And I think it's pretty obvious how this situation gets "checked" and by which branch of government.

  (It's the Executive branch's job to appoint judges. )

  as a true believer in the watchtower, i never knew how truly boring i was until being out for a couple of years and then sitting down with a group of jws and having a conversation..

  i decided to go have breakfast at mcdonalds and a group of jws who were out in service and know me also stopped for breakfast and sat down with me and we talked for about an hour.

  I know sometimes things do appear cut off to me, though.

  I think it has something to do with posting long web address links in the post.

  No, the first post is okay as well.

  Could it be about screen size? I have a 10 inch screen.
