I couldn't PM Frawin either

I've been thinking about killers and Muslims.
The media keeps the Muslim religion as a hot topic, so people are is being indoctrinated to think that all Muslims are killers at heart.There is something very strange about all this and I can't quite put my finger on it.
Some American blacks have adopted the Muslim faith and adopted Muslim names for many years, but didn't immediately become suspected of supporting terrorism. (Cassius Clay and others.) What about killers who aren't Muslim? Is that OK then?
What about those good ol' boys, Americans all, who become serial killers? Does anybody care what religion they are/were? Of what faith was Hitler and his henchmen? Did it matter? How many serial killers can you list and what,  if any religion were they? Why are we letting ourselves believe that all Muslims want to kill anyone who isn't a Muslim? What do we really know to be true about Isis?
The nut case who wiped out the Amish school girls wasn't Muslim, neither were the boys who took out Columbine. Does the average person know the difference between Christian Syrians and Muslim Syrians? How about Hindu Indians and Pakistanis. Who are those Arabs anyway, and the Egyptians....Coptic or not? Sounds like a good time for some intense world history. Hey, how about those Crusaders!
Yes, there is no doubt that some of the recent events were perpetrated by people who were Muslim. Just as there are creepy priests and coaches, there will be bad versions of humans 'most everywhere.
I wish people wouldn't rush to label everyone and tar everyone with the same brush.That can be very bad business.

Prisons are full of guys named Jesus.  Just sayin

Ay yi yi...

welcome to modern times, where facts and logical thinking is unimportant and ignored.

I was in Grenola for Thanksgiving.  We saw 5-6 eagles in just a few days.  They were amazing.  One of them was a youngin, and still had a brown tail.

You can't stop terrorism, war, or violence.  Here's an idea, maybe we should stop ruining other people's countries

your rambling post is too difficult to follow.

I don't like Carson for the same reason that I don't like most of the republicans.  He wants to drastically reduce government revenue by cutting taxes while at the same time, increasing defense spending.  Guess what, that means borrowing more money.  The moderators did a good job of trying to get the candidates to talk about this during the debate.  The only candidate that had an answer was Paul.  All the others were either confused by the issue, danced around the question, or just kept their mouth shut.  People have to realize that there is no friggin way these guys can deliver on the promises they are making without running up huge debts.

Carson's ignorance among the current candidates is exceptional.  He doesn't know the difference between the debt ceiling and the budget.  Furthermore, climate change is real and Carson doesn't believe in science.  I won't vote for someone who makes decisions based on faith alone in the face of reality.

I won't even get into the part about him being a liar, because most of the people running are the same. 

Just another pundit making money off an ideology

Problem is that Putin is not actually bombing ISIS, he's bombing American allies

In Ross' defense, I think the forum was in the early stages of decline before he showed up.  Ross just hastened the process. 

I thought there was some movement to fix the forum, perhaps I was wrong.  I really miss how it was when I first joined.  I haven't been able to get back as often as I used to, and I enjoyed keeping up with the goings on of Elk County.  I think what has happened here is somewhat indicative of what is happening in our country today. New forms of media have made it easy for extremists to bully their way into mainstream discourse.  The rest of us are to busy with other things and don't have the willpower to fight them.  Meanwhile the controls on the system have eroded.

I had refrained from posting for some time because I was asked to.  I think I'll start posting again.
