brother,peace making is a lot better than insults.
Label label label. I quote Alastair Sim from that famous classic Christmas movieAh, yes, well, one person here has called me a few names related to right wing conservatives but the fact of the matter is I have never in my life voted Conservative. Canadian politics are different than what you guys have down there, but I still have never voted conservative.

I had a lot of bad feelings about the electoral college. I knew nothing, and my ignorance was partly based on our Canadian system, and never spending the time to inform myself as to the history and purpose of the electoral college.
When I found out it was established to prevent large cities or other dominant groups from taking over the entire electoral process, I began to see the wisdom.
I think a system in which no one or two areas dominate the voting is vital. The north eastern seaboard and the west coast have a huge population of people influenced by other urban dwellers. The electoral college protects rural people from having no vote, and also from every election being solved just by a large majority vote among the same people, leaving out a large majority of people who would be disenfranchised.
Now, after seeing how it works, I can only wish for something similar for Canada. While I do like our parliamentary democracy, I get fed up, election after election that the votes in Quebec and Ontario are apparently the only ones that count. I sincerely cannot remember an election, where Alberta or BC determined the final results.
The last while, when the polls closed, the TV opened up to "A win for....". Hey! Our votes out west haven't even been started to be counted! Last election, they didn't even have to wait for the pools to close. I turned on the TV to a declared election c/o Quebec/Ontario and people were still lined up to vote in the west.
Another reason for western Canada to separate from the east. The big reason right now, is to not be ruled by the classic idiot, Justin Trudeau.
I do wish the Democrats would learn what the electoral college is, and why it is very important. I guess if they win, it is ok, and if they don't - off with its head! Oops, wrong revolution!
You go on and on about not insulting others while you insult our brother! Where exactly is your head, man? Then you excuse what you say claiming it is not an insult for you to say it! Unbelievable!
This old man would make you short of breath and beg for mercy. And why you so hung up on xxxxxxx. I've been called worse just this week.....whatever happened to sticks and stones....do you need a safe space?
Indeed it is, but sadly, my brother, many folks here have tried to teach him with gentle love, prayer, used Scripture, encouragement, used facts, etc, etc; nothing works with him, thus a few folks, including me, have taken off the gloves and keep it as real as necessary. No apologies.

yea i'm not even gonna respond to you thinking about a fight... thats the Christ like thing to do... and why? just becaus someone is worldly do you doesn't give you the right to respond the same, this is actually a perfect reference to turn the other cheek.
Since Wanderer popped up a few days ago, he has been trolling and harassing people all over CC. I think it is just pathetic. Of course, we have two options - pick your own choice.
1. Put him on ignore. He has nothing to say, you will miss nothing.
2. Follow him and report him every time he harasses you, or anyone else.
Simple and easy. Nothing like a nasty young person who pretends to be a know-it-all with his copy and pastes. Does he not know that calling older people names is "ageism?" It truly is!
We have a terribly society, where the elders and people with wisdom are scorned, and the young people with no experience or wisdom think they are better than those of us who have been there, done that!
you see...you were thinking in terms of fighting....so who has the carnal mind? I was thinking in terms of going for a jog.
dude i would crush you in a jog... 4 years swimming and track, plus i runn all the time.... bring it.
if you can pull sub 7 minute miles then you probably could.
wanderer has been around since 2013...October
he didn't just pop up
I have noticed a few 'sleepers' coming around lately
