  1. @spiritual memes These thing quickly turn into cults, and abuses. Bullshit that’s not moderated.
  2. It’s not hate in her heart. It’s love. She wants the world to reflect her values. It’s selfish, low quality love based on her conservative ideas. But, she likely actually believes in her ideas of marriage. When you believe God thinks being gay is wrong, you want to protect society. Not agreeing or defending. Simply an attempt at seeing her perspective
  3. “Not knowing” is not the same as being dumb
  4. @Leo Gura unless it’s 2007 and there’s a housing bubble hehe
  5. I don’t think I grasp this entirely… because an infinity of Gods isn’t the same as a finite “thing” as a spirit or demon. She has no understanding of awakening. Ugh, dualistic christians
  6. A man is peacefully speaking to police - within seconds: 1. he has shot them 2. stabbed them 3. tackled him to the grounded and it fighting for his weapon… after seeing these situations on camera.. I’m just in a state of not knowing what is proper police force in all situations. I can see why cops use too much force.. Fear, trauma, wanting to come home to their family, uncertainty, risk management, etc … obviously it’s all contextual Ive seen 8 cops all shoot a woman with a knife… though she did chase them all out of her apartment. They could have tazed her. Im open to my mind changing. But, I also realize the danger and life or death nature that is happening in these situations. I don’t know. At the end of the day, the cop wants to come home to his family, as does his family. But, how do I balance and be unbiased towards both cop and criminal/ mentally ill person? Ive seen plenty of footage of bad cops. I’ve seen plenty of footage of good cops. I’ve seen plenty of footage of average cops in very ambiguous, confusing and potentially very dangerous and scary situations. Sometimes it seems entire departments can be in over their heads in their struggle to management danger. They want their colleges and friends to come home. So, sometimes if someone is chasing with a knife they put them down.
  7. @Leo Gura I am open to learning more. I just have seen cops get tackled and have their guns stolen. Not just knives, but I’ve seen cops get tackled. Sometimes maybe cops shoot with a gun because they want to completely limit risk. Tasers can work too. I really am not an expert. I don’t know. When it’s life or death, better safe than sorry. Some one was waving a knife around and got shot? Well, that’s tough but it was complicated.
  8. From watching many hours of police footage I’ve learned that police carrying a gun are at a great danger just for carrying it. Once someone is with range to wrestle them… tasers and guns become huge risks. This is one reason for shooting people with knives, etc at a distance. When it’s life and death all it takes is a second to get stabbed or shot. When you are in the field it’s very tough: hormones, survival drives etc. Plus, laws are complicated and cops aren’t law specialists. They often do their best. Police are important. We can improve them but… is also just the reality that it’s dirty work. Messy, lots of mistakes. The law and reality at the cutting edge is messy. Theory meets practice.
  9. I’ve recently been enjoying my 9-5. Though,, I am working towards my future escape
  10. My fav policing channel I like the mixture of law lesson and interaction. Very interesting.
  11. @Roy Yeah well, realistically Kanye is destroying everything he touches. I haven't met a friend who would stick around through something like that. He's dangerous to be around.
  12. If you take dualities to their extreme they tend to go full circle. How would Liberalism or conservatism go full circle?
  13. @Roy yeah, not a matter of who you hang with at this point . He needs to go somewhere quiet and relax. I just fear he’ll end up homeless.
  14. @eggopm3 Kanye only loves Kanye
  15. I am getting so many insights here while I am shopping that I can’t write them down
  16. I personally think it’s worth buying a book on it. I had an ex that did this. (Which says a lot about where I was in high school). Its not up to you to change these people.
