You’re watching from the outside. I’m observing from the inside and I’m happy to say I’m kind of glad Trump is POTUS. If Americans ever wanted to know if democracy is a form of government that can really work regardless of the people diversity, we’re going to find out!
All that stuff they taught US in school? Those tests in school were just to see if we learned.
The Trump presidency is the “real test” to see if we actually understand democratic principles and know how to make practical application to a real country!! Our country!!
I’m loving this Trump administration. Watch the Americans rise! Yeah! 🙂
To respond to Jon Stewart’s question” “What kind of country are we going to be … moving forward …?” We’ll see. 🙂 😀
(NOTE: Really appreciate your LB posts. They’re inspiring. I’m not making sport of you. I’m very serious. You provoke my patriotic fervor and my sense of duty and you remind me to be proud to be an American.)

I understand you completely. You fully believe that the people, that the institutions in place, that the laws will protect you.
I am telling you that Jamaicans have been rounded up and deported; many who have valid Visas. That Many Africans have been deported for the same reason. No one protests, no one knows. In some places they are stopping cars driven by Blacks to check papers.
What is scary is that 200 people have been murdered by police and no one protest.
I know there are people who are fighting for what are called American Values. I know some folks in California who are going for a Calexit.
I have spoken to a chap who is a Jamaican/American and spent many years in the U.S. as well as here who also sees a positive spin; that Trump will inspire people to object to what he puts forward. He sees Trump as a test; and he believes that the backward/racist anti beliefs of Trump will be defeated.
I’m not so positive.

I can feel you on this. As you can observe, what is said in the bible to be a sin is now being done by other people such as that one. Because it has been open now about same sex relationship, it seems that it is now accepted as not a sin anymore.
It is so sad, that in this modern age, the nice teachings in the bible are now being disregarded.
Even leaders of some countries already have permitted it. Though, it is so admirable that here in our country, Philippines , there are more believers in the bible than those who disregard the said teachings in the bible.
The leaders should have been who is being followed , not the leaders conforming to what is being practiced by a few and make it as something that is normal.

I have a counter question: what would you do as a leader whether you will agree to popular public demand or allow them to do what is right for them? But then who will decide what is right or what is wrong and here begins the problem.

Hi suny,
In the Holy Scriptures or Holy Bible more particularly in the Old Testament (Genesis Chapter 19), the story of Sodom and Gomorrah is a classic example of sexual immorality where male don’t want to have sexual intercourse with female anymore but what’s happening in that story was that male wants to have sex with male (homosexuality and homosexual practices) and female wants to have sexual intercourse with female (lesbianism and lesbian sexual practices) and such immorality and wickedness is such that God had destroyed such place through fires and brimstones.
In our modern times it seems that the values of societies are changing on how we view homosexuality and lesbianism as such. There is the so-called LGBT (lesbian,gay,bi-sexual, transgender) Community which are now constantly fighting for equality and attention in our modern society.
Consider the legalization in America and other countries of the so-called “same-sex” marriages. This is quite revolutionary for it has a dramatic impact on how we traditionally view marriage as a special contract between a man and a woman only.
Such legalization of the so-called same sex marriages has a far-reaching effect and implication on the family and society in the long run.
With this kind of development there is already an erosion of the male and female traditional role which ideally the younger generation could emulate for good.
I have nothing against any member of the LGBT Community.
It’s not my business to interfere with their personal sexual preferences, but my primary concern is the marriage and the family itself as we use to know it.
-
I agree with both of you, I agree it’s none of business or be judgmental but I have written what I felt is right for society as whole.

This concept of barter used to be there in ancient times and the surprising thing is that we have it in our country in many villages and even in the cities too. This concept is a good one as there is no money exchanging hands and you do not end up transacting. This is services for services or goods for services or services for goods or goods for goods it can be a combination of any of the four options.
In the villages many farmers take the services of labour and pay them in the form of rice or food grains grown from the field. So both the parties are happy with the concept. They also exchange services like getting something for someone staying in the village from the cities and they being given some goods which the person has grown in the village. On the whole this is a successful concept. Only thing is we need two people who have the same mentality.

i agree what pay they need, there is many lots of sites that offer free movies, shows and channels, so why to pay, i wish the payment is little, its too much also for a show or movie, so i agree and i once did in the past pay for such a thing, but now no way, the economy is too bad to pay even one dollar for them in one month. so get what you want to see or games online for free, and if not today free, in day it will be, just like many new movies online when its new hard to find site offer them free, but wait few days or week you will get the movie for free, thanks for the good tips
All you have to do is a search; i.e. “Watch Elementary Free online”, and you’ll find a number of sites.
