Agree with your first paragraph. What happened to the drunk driving charge against Paul Pelosi the husband of Nancy he also had a drunk driving charge in the late 1960’s? Insider trading by Nancy was so bad they changed the rules on it. ---

Yes impressive but huge demonstrations against the Vietnam War in America while ultimately sucessful took 5 years to end it. Trump please resign or GOD burst a blood vessel in his head. ---

The vandal is targeting one individual maybe 2. A crash of the stock market hurts millions of ppl and can lead to increases in unemployment. Some retirees rely on the stock market as the govt pension is less than welfare. ---

Read mine daily and I own 10 and I have read the Bible cover to cover 10 times. The reason I give 1O% of my income to charity in fact a bit more than that is because the Bible tells me to do so. Watched a couple religious TV programs on Sunday as well as NHL hockey and the news. Key Of David and a Joel Olsteen show I watched. The Olsteen show though did not once quote the Bible which was offsetting. Trump once held a Bible upside down at a press conference and when he was inaugurated for his latest Presidency he did not have his hand on the Bible unlike every other Pres. has done. I believe he might be the antichrist mentioned in the New Testament. He cheats on his spouse and admits to sexually assaulting women. ---

The word pious does not appear in many translations of the Bible. Exhort Each Other To Good Works Hebrews 10:24-25 If I do something that the Bible tells me to do then I should tell others to encourage them to do so. ---

I see. I thought you exposed your righteous deeds, good works, religious duties and piety for others to see when you bragged how you tithed (and more). I think that’s great and you are great for going above and beyond to further the kingdom. You deserve to be lifted up and praised among men. What an amazingly beautiful sacrifice. You sound like a cheerful giver. I hope you are reaping what you sewed into your tithes (and more). ---

The reason I give 1O% of my income to charity in fact a bit more than that is because the Bible tells me to do so. You’ve read the entire Bible 10 times and have not learned that that the tithe is an OT law and that you can not earn your salvation with your good deeds? > [@Greg](#): > > The reason I give 1O% of my income to charity in fact a bit more than that is because the Bible tells me to do so. The Bible tells you no such thing. (Ephesians 2:8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (Ephesians 2:9) Not of works, lest any man should boast. ---

What do you think is the most exceptional country? I can’t think of one. Japan? Finland? New Zealand? ---

All countries are exceptional in some way or other. The idea that any of us are so much better than others that we will consistently outperform other countries at most tasks is silly. That’s the notion behind American Exceptionalism. ---

Ben started this topic. It sounds like something someone from outside the 🇺🇸 would say about the 🇺🇸 as a joke. I do think that people outside the 🇺🇸 that make fun of American’s lack of geography knowledge look stupid. I don’t ecpect someone in Belgium to know the capital of Texas or what states the rio grande falls through. If they did know that, I’d say they should focus their energies elsewhere.
