Penny and Nealy

C.S.Lewis said that you could tell people have a soul because wherever you go in the world most people think the same things are right and wrong. Example, stealing is wrong.
The soul of most people say that beating someone up for no reason is wrong. Most people’s souls say trying to stop the aggressor is right because it saves lives. Most people’s souls say Nealy’s death was an accident caused by trying to stop him from killing someone.
Remember, God Almighty, is not prejudice for or against black or white Americans, Judgement does not fall on people because of their skin color. These things have been true for thousands of years. No amount of ridicule will make them untrue. No parades, revenge killing, burnings, or any other sort of protest will ever make wrong right or right wrong.

I believe you're referring to the difference between principles and morals. Principles are more basic than morals.

There are several articles about that if you look on the internet.

@DeWayfarer

I am referring to the time tested way that people have successfully lived their lives where morals and principles were determined by God, and not by the evil doers in that originator of so much that is bad about our country, democrats.

@MarthannBann888 believe what you wish.

Interesting you refer to a science fiction writer from the 1930s.

@MarthannBann888 You know: You had me in agreement with you right up to the time you inserted the word "democrats". Now I believe you are unjustly castigating a large portion of the American population on just the same basis as you preached about in your first post. Shame on you!!

Using the word democrat does not change the truth of what I have said.
When the works of Lewis does not change the truth of what I said.
When you read or did not read Lewis changes nothing.
The differences between morals and principles does not change right action and wrong action.
Whether YOU say I castigate any part of the population makes no difference in the truth of this matter.
In fact, though, liberal policies are at the heart of the prosecution of this man who was simply trying to protect his fellow countrymen. First, he took his own life in question for his countrymen. Then, he was prosecuted because of that same love almost lost his life to prison.

No greater can a man have that he give up his life for his friends.

@DeWayfarer Yes.... As @MarthannBann888 is indiscriminately using labels she/he should have a label too... I think 'Troll' suits this person's attitude here.
@MarthannBann888: If you wish to ADD to a conversation then be respectful of the other people; making 'all inclusive' libelous statements doesn't help anyone understand what you're trying to say and it gets you labelled as a troll. Yes... This is a lesson: If you're going to slam some group then back it up with examples rather than just making degrading statements about them. OR: perhaps you learned this technique from your idol - Mr. tRump himself? (as an example: tRump has the temerity to label Canada as the 51st state - HA! Instead of setting the bar for trade with the USA at an optimistic level, he now has Canadian businesses plotting how to sting the US economy should he be so ignorant as to impose trade tariffs against our historic 'most favoured nation agreement'.)

Interesting posts.
By the way, one of the definitions of good mental health is perceiving reality correctly. As people in mental institutions can tell you, if you get off the mark too far you render what you say as irrelevant.

As evidenced by your reference to the sainted word, democrat, let’s reflect.The nether regions of everyone’s body has much more acquaintance with the words used to describe republicans than they do the actual word. Now, to hear the very people who denigrated republicans to world class standards is complaining about the use of the word democrat.
I would much more believe that the Canadians are voting on admittance to the US. And, yes, it was a joke. If you choose to use the joke as a weapon against DT, then I will take that as a sign of your ability to perceive reality correctly, and treat what you write accordingly.

As evidenced by the administration’s treatment of current events, I can only surmise that democrats, led by the administration, bitterly hate this country.
If you think you are so moral, then you must leave the country on moral grounds.
I hope you can demonstrate in the future a legitimate reason to command the respect you seek.

@MarthannBann888 My problem with you is only that you seem to be here to define anyone who disagrees with you as a nether region of the human body. For all of your 'hi-falutin'' language, you're a person who is very grounded in negativity. As for DT as you call him (DTs to me are the effect of having consumed too much alcohol and are suffering withdrawal), his 'joke' was reiterated and in a belittling manner. If your President -elect(I guess I have to use the title) has so little respect for diplomacy, then he's likely to be the one who leads the rush to push the nuclear button. Respect begets respect.... show some respect!

@JollyRoger

At the risk of yet more negativity.
I believe it is you who insists the joke is negative. Forgive my observation that your insistence projects the negativity you deny.
As for “pushing the button”, you may not have been granted access to the current facts by your news. But, my news has been quite wild with it. Biden authorized missiles sent to the Ukraine maybe a year back.
Maybe a month back Biden authorized that the missiles could be used unprovoked against the interior of Russia at any time of the Ukraine’s choosing.
Three weeks ago, the Ukraine did just that.
Now, Russia has cut communications with the west, and by doing so has placed the world on the very cutting edge of nuclear war.
It’s funny how the left creates the illusion that they are peaceful and republicans are warlike, contrary to this illusion, though, we are once more flirting with destruction. Complete and total destruction of the kind where republicans are no longer subject to the constant criticisms from the left for what the left does.

@MarthannBann888 negativity! Haaaaa! Block us then! I dare you to. You're the one that started pushing the negativity! As well as continuing it!
MarthannBann888 · 70-79, F
@DeWayfarer

I never even thought of blocking you. I am a republican, we don’t cancel people.
MarthannBann888 · 70-79, F
@DeWayfarer

You sound really upset. Maybe more upset than the situation warrants. As far as I am concerned, your opinion is your own. Because I think you are negative doesn’t mean you have to think that, too.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@MarthannBann888 you are the one that keeps on bringing up negative things.

You didn't even need to be negative against my original comment.

Even the link in it was added afterwards as a convince.

BTW those that blocked me are mostly Republicans.

My block list is and always has been empty! And I am totally a Democrat!
