America-Hye Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Bush has polarized America as no other President has in 100 years. He is leaving the next generation with a massive deficit and is gutting all the environmental laws. He has families battling one another, just like during the American Civil War. I liked his father, but I absolutely despise the son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 I liked his father, but I absolutely despise the son. And I thought the son was just a revamped version of his father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormig Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 WOW!!!! you couldnt be more wrong... then again.. u probably could. Oh you do follow non-Amerikanski sources for your "information" (if it can be called that), do you now? In that case it makes it all the more amazing how time and time again you can feel so confident of your sheeple-speak instead of testing the waters where something is being discussed, and recoiling in the event you realise (if you do, of course) how sheeple-speak what you say sounds. There have been plenty of times when I have realised I am not on par with people going at something, and I have stepped aside instead of making a laughing stock out of myself. Amerikanski confidence-building education - never leave home with out it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Quoting from the Bible would not suit a secular president, that would not be acceptable IMO. But "God bless you" is a generic term used by everyone including atheists when someone sneezes. People don't even think about it when saying or hearing. And if a president says to the people "God bless you" where is the harm in that? If they don't believe in God then they will not pay attention to it and that's all. It looks like eventually somewhere down the line we may agree. Quoting from the Bible is expressing religion, and if it is unacceptable and some religious expressions are generic, there leaves you no more room for the expression of religion.

But is quoting from the Bible the only way one can express his religiousness? What if someone says "in God we trust"? This is not a quote from the Bible but tells us the person saying it is religious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand if you are not at par with people, why does it mean you will make a laughing stock of yourself?... these are inconlusively related.. call my say what you like.. but please point to what is offending you so much of what i have to say about the subject matter? seems very to the point for me. cause you see it differently you call it sheepe-speak? again.. That is the most hypocritical thing iv ever read.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevo27 Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 The reason i see why the president quoting from the Bible is such a scary thaught is because it may offend those who dont believe in the Bible.. ( WELL DUHHH!!! right?) no.. not so simple... if Bush were to quote from any other book, Davinchi code for example, or "Darwinianism" or somethign like that, those who speak against him now for his speech.. would not..why so? The Bible is a literary book in the sense of the law, why does it frighten people so much when simple humane and moral quotes are expressed from it by our leaders.. what in the Bible makes it so wrong to be quoted.. does quoting it necessarily mean you are advertising or expressing that religion.. ??? to many questions with loose ends as i see it. no way you can come to one single conlcusion... as it stands though, it is not against the law, and it will never be... (again, read phillipians. and youll know why ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
