Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Courthouse News reports: Arizona’s House Education Committee advanced a bill Tuesday that would allow public school teachers and administrators to post and discuss the Ten Commandments in the classroom. State Senator Anthony Kern [photo], the bill’s sponsor, says the Ten Commandments shaped the country’s heritage. “Our history is the Ten Commandments,” the Republican from Glendale …

Did they ever read the ten comandments? I'm not religious myself vut I think one of them says something "you shall not lie". Maybe Republicsns should start with actually abiding to it first...

Come on now it was those damn democrats who did all the stealing they stole the election, they still all the documents and they stole my wife and kids from me and forced them to move out of state and now I'm on the no fly list because of those damn lazy stealing democrats that control everything and made my wife divorce me and take full custody so that's why I tried to take my country back at the ~~insurrection~~ protest at the Capitol building for my boy Donnie....

Thou shall not kill

..... makes you wonder about a few things in American culture ....

  • gun ownership, which causes deaths by people in the thousands every year (intentional and accidental and self inflicted), basically most personal firearms are meant for one thing ... to kill people.
  • military industrial complex which is the vehicle and cause of mass human death around the world
  • death penalty, if your Bible says do not kill, why do you have laws that say you should kill

Repukelicans are hypocrites

[–] Boddhisatva 4 points 8 months ago

Technically, as I understand it, that is a mistranslation. It should be "Thou shalt not commit murder". Executions and killing in war are perfectly okay with the god of the Bible. It's only *illegal *killing that you should refrain from. In fact, there are numerous places in the Bible where the readers are told to kill people in god's name. So you can get right out there and start killing men, women, and babies with no worry that you'll go to hell for it.

They know exactly what the term commandments are: a way to control people

So when you pay for sex and also make her sign an NDA is it not "adultery" anymore?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Don't be stupid, God has good lawyers that can get around any NDA

[–] ChonkyOwlbear 5 points 8 months ago

Nah, all the good lawyers are in Hell

Wait until they read the second one "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water"
