    Disagree emphatically!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We should be willing and able to discuss the issue on which the person is wrong. If we do, one of two things might happen. 1: We might be able to show her/him where and how (s)he is wrong and bring her/him on to the right path. 2: We might learn that it is WE w-ho are wrong and adjust our thinking accordingly.
    I'm convinced that some people are afraid to hear-read-or see things that might challenge their opinions.

    "Bad company corrupts good morals" (very, very , old and true proverb)

    Trying to analyze why bad people are wrong , hardly ever if ever works, does it ?

    Trying to convince someone on the "issue on which the person is wrong" , also seems hardly ever to work, if ever .... right ?

    Sure, some people "want to know", and they seek what is right, and change. They are willing to and seek to, resulting in at least good results for a time, for them... (even though perhaps with persecution) ....

    If someone tries to defend their own "opinion", regardless if they are right or wrong, it is a weak 'argument' to start with, isn't it ?

    Policeman attending an illigal party in covid lockdown.

    "I do understand, Sir, everyone employs 29 gardeners to mow a 12ft square lawn while drinking a pint of beer." :D.

    Whilst the method may seem a bit overkill, a single pint of beer is in line with moderation and we know that we should take everything in moderation.

    ?

    Since the lockdown is based on lies and deception, and is also UNconstitutional - it is very directly opposed to the constitution of the usa, thus it is , the lockdown is ILLEGAL itself. Ignoring may have consequences, but knowing the lockdown itself is total deception (weapons of mass destruction?? remember those lies??) ...

    Excuse me Jeff but this thread isn’t made for debating the issues of today.
    Granted, Robert’s post is a little sideways but it is comedic and isn’t in the realm of debate.

    Please read the opening post (OP) to get the feel of the thread and then go forth young man and write.

    I'm glad that Bobby saw my attempt at comedy, whereas, Jeff just saw an oportunity to 'have a go at someone'.
    Incidentally, Jeff, in Wales where I live, it is illegal to have mass gatherings. OK. :D

    I'm not suggesting that you have a long neck, Sir, but are any of your relations ostriches. :D

    So? Nazi Germany did the same thing. And Communist China. And of course Russia. All for the same reasons as today world wide and usa.

    The point is just because it is illegal, doesn't mean the unjust corrupt powers are right , true, nor good at all. They have proven they are not.

    Starting with a false premise ?

    Rather, I think the motive is hopefully to find out how life can be bettered, eh? (with a Canadian accent) :)

    Life is not at all bettered by accepting the world's philosophy or government oppression and corporate deceptions.

    i.e. EXPLORATION of life itself - hopefully 'includes' looking into those things in life that are controlling the populations,
    and finding out clearly when possible (not always clear nor possible , maybe)
    when the governing powers are partly wrong, a little wrong, or totally wrong (on one thing or on many).

    However, as you asked, and see this another way, I guess, I will EXPLORE the options to put this info into another thread for that purpose : to better life for all who want to, when possible.

    ... hmmm.... just saw this after posting last post....

    the real tragedy is when men are afraid of the light. .....

    Does that mean similar as to when they are not caring for nor seeking nor approving of the truth because the truth is Jesus,

    and the world hates the truth, and rejects Jesus ?
