Well I think he is a little harsh in his wording.... But does have some truth. You can never have complete acceptance and understanding of something without experience. You can never have complete trust without complete understanding.
I'm not gonna go on a hellfire and damnation route like my other gunnies on here... But I believe there are some preferences which are ok to have.
Some people don't want their kids to be around guns, so they teach them the opposite is good. Some people don't want their kids to be Jewish so they teach then Christianity is the way. Some people don't want their kids to be money grubbing greedies, so they teach them frugality. Some people don't want their kids to be gay, so they teach them the beautiful relationship between a man and a woman.
Well in reality, there is nothing harmful with guns(unless you believe they lead to violence) there is nothing harmful with being jewish(unless you believe that denying christ damns you eternally) there is nothing harmful with wanting money(capitalism - unless you believe the want of money is greed) and there is nothing harmful about being gay (unless you believe it leads to moral pitfalls)
In reality there are thousands of belief systems out there, and what people do behind closed doors is none of my business. They can think and act how they want, as long as it doesn't bother me directly.
Obama saying - "I support gay marriage" puts them on a pedestal they don't need to be on. I don't mind if people are gay, that's their business, but when you make a big fuss over it.... That's annoying. I'm not gay, but there are still many parts of my life I don't just throw out there, because they are private parts of my life.
So you are gay and proud... That's grand. I'm straight and.... I don't give a crap what anybody thinks, so I don't need to go yell it on a mountain top.
And they thing that annoys the crap out of me is that he is doing this for the election. He is saying I support you.... Right in time to get your vote. Obama - using gays as a crutch.
Kind of like when the government "apologized" for slavery. How many slaves did the people apologizing own??? None?? You apologies mean nothing. And honestly, without slaves, we would of lost the revolutionary war, without a doubt, and the USA wouldn't have been how it is. Just food for thought.
I'm annoyed at people being ashamed of our history, and annoyed at people trying to find somebody to hate because they think their way is the best way.
I guess I should just stay in the gun forum... I think this week is the first time I've wondered into these political and open discussion side of gbo in all m years here...
I love guns and am gonna buy more, not watch the news, go fishin, and let everybody live how they wanna live. And be happy. How's that sounds?
