PLEASE proselytize elsewhere, Tony.

There are very good reasons that we have a separation of Church and state.

I would also ask this,  Tony.  There is more than one way up the mountain, and I do not like "my God is better than all the other ones" talk - it is the kind of talk that divides people who in reality all seek the same things and who could work together to do all those social goods like helping people out of poverty,  getting justice for all,  healing the sick and mentally ill,  cleaning the air and water,  stopping violence,  etc.

In the USA everyone is supposed to be created equal, and many become one, e pluribus unum. We are all supposed to be on the same team as Americans. But, it is not like that, everyone helps the people in their own community but no one helps other people outside of their community. When I was out on the streets homeless, I did not feel like I had a team here in the USA. And my family has been in the USA since the beginning, including Native American Indians, my ancestors were Cowboys and Indians. I feel alone here. If I could afford to move to go live in Italy I would move to live in Italy. I do not feel like I have a community here.

And I am sure many other people feel the same.

The USA has become a cold, uncaring, selfish place. But, looking back, it always has been, I had to work 12 hours per day as a 10 year old kid washing dogs in order to eat, after my father died. Life has always been hard for me. Sometimes the American Dream seems to be all bullshit. People are just all selfish and everyone is full of shit now.

Trump is an example of what America has become. Sad. I do not want to be a part of that reality.

I tried to move to Italy in 2003, I spent 6 weeks in Rome trying to get a job there, if I could have gotten a job in Rome then I was going to stay there. I am tired of being poor and alone. I want to go someplace where I can have a community and where there is a sense of Brotherhood. In the USA everyone wants to smash the White guy, everyone hates the White guy, and I do not have a team to help me to fight back, I am just poor and alone with no team to help me. People with teams are battling against me, and I do not have a team to help me to fight back. Evil is battling against me, and I do not have a team to fight back. I am all alone. I want to live someplace where I can have a team on my side.

Salute,

Tony V.

In the midst of the Biden supply chain mess we now learn from the left wing media much of the reason is we Americans are just too greedy.
We need to stop shopping and lower our expectations by diverting our
wasteful lifestyle toward more socialist, environmentalist habits.

In a Washington Post Op-Ed culinary expert Micheline Maynard,
scolds pampered and  spoiled American consumers who whine at shops and restaurants, and suggests that  we would do ourselves a favor by consciously lowering expectations. After all, she says, previous generations endured shortages of gasoline, food, and housing. Now it is our turn.

Next up the liberal explainer website VOX
It is time for Americans to buy less stuff. Never mind the consequences for retailers, wholesalers, importers, manufacturers, advertisers, delivery drivers, and the whole economy, the holiday shopping industrial complex deserves to be cut to size.

And not to be outdone in spreading progressive poppycock the ATLANTIC


The reason there are shortages is because Americans are just buying too much stuff. But spending is not distributed equally, with rich people buying discretionary things while others struggle to find supplies to make school lunches. The problem is resources get allocated according to little other than profit.

The only responsible reaction to such ignorance is to laugh.

The only reasonable reaction to this information is to tax the holy bejesus out of the rich for several consecutive generations.

Brother T,

Find a church and ask for some spiritual counseling.

And no, I am not being facetious.

And Joel Osteen is fake, and he does not help the homeless and he does not do the things that God asks us to do in Matthew 25: 31-46.


I like you, Tony

This is a poor take.  Don't hate him because he got rich.

[kidcarter8]

Jason Whitlock is an asshole ...


LB gets a D for the day in DISCUSSION

But I am sure allowing him to vent here has brightened his day.

Why not?

His getting rich is the opposite of what he claimed and claims to be about.

[FlyingVProd]

In America we have people now who are getting degrees in "Ethnic Studies" instead of seeing all Americans as being equal. They are dividing everyone up by ethnicity, instead of teaching people that all men are created equal. And for me, I descended from the Cowboys and Indians, my only people are Americans, I do not have an ethnic group to support me or for me to be in a community with.

Salute,

He claims to be a Christian, but he does not help the poor and the needy and the fatherless and the people in prison, etc, like the Bible says in Matthew. If you do not help the homeless people, then you are not a Christian, plain and simple.

Salute,

If you descended from the "Indians" then you have an ethnic group to support you.

You keep talking about "good Christians," and if you belonged to one of their communities, they might help you. Might. Would they make you rich? No, but they would probably make sure you got fed.

I can't do much for you while you are in Anaheim, Tony, because the folks I know there have little more in the way of resources than you seem to. Nor do I have the foggiest what your skillsets are, with the possible exception of film-making.

But it seems to me that if you were to turn your attention to making small segments of your bigger idea and then presented it once per week or once per month and set up a Patreon or one of the other creative endeavor support systems, assuming your creativity is what you believe it is, you might be able to build up a following that would generate a decent income for you as well as potentially catching the eyes of others in your field.

Conversely, there are tons of $15-20 per hour jobs in this part of the world, begging for workers and with little to no "homework" to jam up your relaxation time.

Or there is free professional grade animation software you could use for your storytelling, perhaps.

[kidcarter8]

Yeah...

Joe's tired of all the mask stuff too

Who does Osteen help, Tony?

Find out and post it here.

Kid,  is it possible that "hate" is your word for critique?  If so,  then you devalue Tony's point (and others).  People who make money off the gullible are open to critique,  and Tony was spot on this time.
