Donald Trump vs. Sports

[Dude653]

Setting up straw men to knock them down, then accuse others of it?
The dope has obviously stunted you to the point where
you're incapable of having intellectually honest dialogue.

Except everything I stated is factual
It makes no sense to put people in jail for smoking a plant seeing as how there's never been a single reported death as a result of marijuana. Marijuana was legal until 1937.
The federal Narcotics Division was about to lose their funding so they made up a story about Mexican immigrants smoking marijuana and becoming homicidal.
It's all about collecting Revenue. The prison industrial complex is a huge Cash Cow

I would also like to add that if it were really about public safety and Public Health then tobacco and alcohol would be illegal also
One out of every three people who smoke die from smoking related issues. But the government makes a buttload of money on tobacco taxes

Professional sports teams are the toys of billionaires. These billionaires are the new owners of gladiators. Gladiators as in slaves to perform combat at the order of their masters.

Utter folly. Not unlike Nero fiddling as Rome burns.

There may be some truth to that but a professional athlete is paid on average around 15 million a year so it seems like a pretty good trade-off

For just your body or does that include your soul?

Mt 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

How much more then ought we to render with the rewards that await those who are in Christ.

1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

For the cause of Christ

I guess I missed the part in the Bible where it says we forfeit our souls by playing a sport

I agree with this wholeheartedly.
Everyone saying these soldiers died for the flag but they died for American people not a piece of cloth.
Patriotism is loving your country and all of your fellow Americans. Just because someone does not have any emotional attachment to a song or a piece of cloth does not mean he does not love his country.
If people are that upset over a song and a flag that in my opinion this borders on idolatry.

​No,sorry,thats complete nonsense. Its not a piece of cloth or a song,its what those things stand for and you either agree with it or not. My father has sang the song since Ive been a child "if you don't love it,leave it." Its called the "Fighting Side of Me" If America was never great then why are people staying here?! If this country is so horrible then head north of south. Im not saying you feel that way,just a general comment.

The old love it or leave in cliche doesn't work. I'm patriotic and I love my country. I just don't worship a flag or a song.
Protesting to bring attention to issues that need to be addressed does not mean one does not love his country

 

[Willie-T]

Let's see...... What EXACTLY is it these people want? Oh, yeah, they want the country they feel is so horrible to fund prosecutions and special training of people protecting us from criminals their community has bred. (That's your tax money and mine, by the way.)

How much extra money have they donated to fund this endeavor?

There isn't anything wrong with patriotism. I do think, though, that it's really easy to go from being patriotic to worshipping this country. As blessed as we are, it was Israel that God chose. You don't see the Bible talking about the Americans. I see it talking a lot about the Israelites, though.Considering how we've let this country turn into almost a laughing stock from a Biblical standpoint, I'd say that's some cause for concern.

You really dislike black people so much that your opinion will always be against anything that they do or say.
Scary think is there are many like you who won't give a black person a job whether they qualify or not based upon their skin color.

There are doctors, lawyers and school teachers etc. who feel as you do. You can't seem to do your job unbiased, do you think that they can? Yet you want to say we have nothing to be concerned about. This is not the good old boy era, "shut up N* word and stay in your place" this is 2017 and not much has changed other than it's a new cast of characters with the same motive. America isn't just for people that look like you.

There are many black football, basketball, etc. players who are giving back to the community one way or another. Many have set up foundations to do just that. Just because it isn't on the news everyday doesn't mean that they are doing nothing.

Why not? All kinds of derogatory things seem to be accepted about PRESIDENT Trump since FOX is the only news media that ever says anything positive about him.

Honey Dew,
I hired about thirty five Black people before I found out that they never really wanted to work.... just receive a paycheck. And I mean 100% of them. I was a little shocked since I was raised by one of the most upstanding Black women you would ever hope to meet.

Be who you are Willie just remember you still have to make it into heaven according to the ways of the bible just like us black folks that you look down your nose at. You can't get in just because you are white. I'll leave you to the one who can change your heart. That's if you want change.

I have great respect for people of ALL colors.... IF they are truly men and women. Any people who wants everything given to them, aren't. I think I told you I foolishly voted for Obama.... the FIRST time around,,, until he showed what he really was. That man is not even for his own race. Black people lost just about everything except dependency-creating handouts under his administration. PRESIDENT Trump is restoring manhood to the Black male.

Let me say this, I don't think you are a horrible man Willie. I think your experiences with a few has tainted your heart towards the majority.

We may not agree on this issue or a few others but there are some things in other threads that you have said on different topics that I have agreed with and I think that you are a smart man. I'm not here to make enemies or to hurt anyone.

I hate racism in any form and I can be passionate about it and bullies make my teeth itch.

So I hope that we can leave this discussion in this thread and move on as brother and sister in Christ. I do wish you well and all things good under the sun.
