General Question for everyone!

Quotes | Eisenhower Presidential Library

When we get to the point, as we one day will, that both sides know that in any outbreak of general hostilities, regardless of the element of surprise, destruction will be both reciprocal and complete, possibly we will have sense enough to meet at the conference table with the understanding that the era of armaments has ended and the human race must conform its actions to this truth or die."
Letter, DDE to Richard L. Simon, Simon and Schuster, Inc., 4/4/56 [DDE's Papers as President, DDE Diaries Series, Box 14, April 1956
 
Throughout history, dissension between people has always existed and will always exist. That is life. We all have had different lives, different cultures, different opinions and different objective. Nonetheless, when we live with others (not alone), we need to find ways to "get along" and work together (to a certain extent) so that we can go forward in life. If we always fight with each other, there is no advancement for either of us of if there is advancement, it is at the cost of the other.

Do you agree with that simple statement?

There are some things that I call "BASICS" that are needed/required with everything and everyone in order to be able to find some common ground, get along with each other and go forward (instead of going back).

Those basics are called morals, ethics, principles and humanity. If you have all 4 of them, you are a fine person that will always try to do what is right, but even if you only have one, it does prevent you from doing much damage.

Lying, insulting, debasing, hating, fighting, not willing to compromise, and closing ones eyes and ears to what the other has to say is not going to ever solve anything.

Do you agree?

As such, do you think that the intelligent thing to do is talk civilly with each other and be open to communication?

I do believe that someone that does all the negatives above needs to be put aside and not paid attention to, no matter what he/she is saying. If you can't have morals, ethics, principles or humanity, what good can come out of such a relationship. As long as we are to live together in one nation, we all need to get something out of it (as well as give something up).

Do you agree?

I do know it is difficult but we all need to keep in mind that humanity is by nature flawed and that no one is perfect. That means that we will all make mistakes and errors in judgement that will cause problems and pain. Nonetheless, isn't that what we all agree to when we get married to someone? For good or bad, knowing for sure that we will get both............For Sure!

Do you agree with me on the "general basics of this"?
As long as folks agree that a child should never get a sex change operation before the age of 18. That white people are not privileged …that’s a good start. That’s in line with the basics that everyone can agree with.
 
That's easy. We're willing to accept a near-total ban on 3rd trimester abortions.

Almost every liberal will say that.

Now, back at you.

The point is that liberals will compromise, conservatives won't.
Your side pushes your agenda like Jihadist push Islam by the sword.

In regards to abortion your side has done the opposite of your post. You have passed laws for the protection of abortion.

I will support abortion to save the life of the mother if necessary

Libs want abortion for rape and incest and I’ll give you that

But it has to be documented

If a woman is raped she has to report it at the time

Not 6 months later as an “oh by the way I just remembered”
 
Fact of life.

By the Republicans...........the Republicans are the ones offering "my way or the highway" they are never willing to compromise on anything.
We did, then we got men competing in womens sports and sharing women’s locker rooms.

Lesson learned.
 
Spoken like a true one party left wing statist.
Nope. My brother is a rich guy. Most of his family is voting Trump, or so they say. My sister in law, the most liberal, asks me for 5 reasons to vote for Harris. I give her 10.

Jobs
Inflation Going Down
Wages going up
Pro Labor
Stock Market
Unemployment
Energy Independence

By all measures, Biden MAGA. Better than Trump's numbers.

Infrastructure

Got us out of Afghanistan

FIND ME 11,000 votes?

I asked if they read the 165 page damning indictment yet.

My brother says the typical (I'm sick of BLM and WOKE and Affirmative Action) He has been sucked in to the GOP negativity. But I don't believe he's going to vote for Trump. I think he will just not vote this year.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
 
You're wrong. Morals, ethics, etc change and if you don't have a firm standard like the word of God, you'll be a weed blowing in the wind.
So you do not think that morals, ethics, principles and humanity do not relate to the word of God?

Then why is this part of Gods nature?

Christian Ethics and Scripture

Moral goodness is defined by the nature of God, and everything he commands is in accordance with his perfect and righteous goodness. We must obey every word of God because every word he gives us flows from his character, and his character is infinite and absolute moral perfection.

No, thats not what I said. The word of God, Jesus Christ is the standard to which these morals, ethics, principles are to be held. Mans ethics, standards, morals change over time.
 
I agree we all wish that were true, but when the conspiracy theory crowd has developed their own personal version of reality, all that goes out the window. If all the batshit crazy theories were only embraced by the fringe what you say would be ideal. When an entire party starts talking about eating cats, the logic of the past is no longer effective.
The Following's eager adoption of the latest outrageous lie, Haitians eating pets, is something I would have laughed at if you told me it would happen before Don descended down that escalator. Now anything is possible. Including the belief Jan. 6 was just a peaceful protest by patriots.

BS Give me examples of your contention that morals and ethics change over time.
 
317 genders, gay marriage, trans people trying to alter who they are......I could on for weeks.
What does that example mean when it comes to morals, ethics, principles or humanity. Are you trying to say that gay people have none of those??????
 
Unfortunately, that is part of human nature. It will never stop. That is why people need to get together and agree on some restrictions/controls that limit the amount. Nonetheless. compromise is what is required and if it is to be "my way or the highway", it cannot happen.
The controversies are usually about right vs wrong, good vs bad. The one proposing "bad" would be happy to meet in the middle as the compromise would still be 'half bad'. However, I don't think the one proposing the correct solution is going compromise. If they do "bad" will eventually win out.

For example.
Put an alcoholic and a non-drinker on an island with an unlimited supply of booze, and you'll soon have two alcoholics.
