  1. Congrats! Pretty amazing story. Good for you for finishing it up.
  2. Meh, you are talking out of your ass. Carry on, though. I know it makes you feel better about yourself. Consider me on board with this idea.
  3. Undoubtedly true. And places where children are should have robust policies and procedures to guard against foul play. SBC runs background checks for every volunteer, has cameras in every room, and has a policy of never leaving kids alone with just 1 adult volunteer. Not sure what else you would have them do.
  4. I was waiting for you to post it. Yes, a former volunteer got in trouble in his own home, but it's probably our former pastor's fault. Child porn is horrendous. If he's guilty, I hope they punish him harshly.
  5. Your obsession has been noted.
  6. https://www.wdrb.com/news/ntsb-releases-final-altitude-speed-of-ups-plane-that-crashed-leaving-louisvilles-airport/article_aa33fc78-18ef-420f-b781-e702b8be2957.html
  7. NTSB briefing confirmed #1 engine departed the left wing on the runway and #2 compressor stalls. Said the report of the plane being delayed for maintenance was refuted by UPS which said the plane was not delayed but on schedule.
  8. He is a good man. As we all know, settling a lawsuit is not an admission of guilt. I have personal knowledge of one of the cases you reference, and Young's church did not cover anything up in it. In fact, the sexual misconduct occurred at a different church altogether. I won't convince you even though you are not connected to it, but I'll let you have the last word on it.
  9. Wow. The Google map and those last two pictures provide some perspective. It looks like the entire operation got blown to smithereens.
  10. Ooooh, riiiight. I distinctly remember applauding Ed Young and SBC for this. You got me.
  11. What makes you think that I would do that?
  12. Can we all agree that Kimmel deserved to lose his show because he lost a 1-on-1 basketball game to Ted Cruz?
  13. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is a legend. Now a World Champion in the 400m hurdles and the open 400m (with the 2nd fastest time in history).
  14. Well, do you have any evidence that it wasn't aliens?
  15. Please don't insult me by insinuating I'm a Roman Catholic! Sort of kidding, but I did not go to a Jesuit HS.
  16. I think Orem, UT. Population 100,000. But the Provo-Orem area has about 750,000 people.
  17. It is hard to fathom how a person could get onto campus in a modern city, set up with a rifle, fire it, and then disappear like a fart in the wind. I served on a jury in a criminal trial a few weeks ago in Harris County. There was so much video of the suspect it was as if we were watching a TV show. Cameras at most intersections he passed through, license plate readers, cell phone images. Have to think they will find this person pretty quickly, even if he ran off initially.
  18. That's such ignorant horseshit. He literally called for nonviolence for years. He may have said and believed many things others don't, but his message was not about violence. Anyone who listened for more than a sound bite understands this CK_IdeasCollide.mp4 .
  19. I have a son who is a freshman in high school. He doesn't yet have social media, but I follow all of his friends so he can peek at their IG accounts from my phone now and again. I think 100% of his friends whom I follow posted something in their IG stories about Kirk. Some of that is probably copycat, fit in, go with the crowd behavior, but my son said that "everyone at school knows who Charlie Kirk is." /csb
  20. Those last 2 pictures are eerie. Such a shame. Killed while in the very act of practicing peaceful political discourse.
  21. The evil is all the more egregious when you consider that Charlie Kirk has devoted his public life to building a platform rooted in good faith efforts at civil political discourse. More than almost anyone else in America, whether on the right or the left, he has sought to model reasoned debate in the public square. His entire project has been centered on bridging the divide, engaging with those who disagree, and relying on the power of speech rather than the threat of violence to confront the issues that tear at our nation. To attack a man who has consistently chosen dialogue over destruction and persuasion over coercion is not simply a wrong against him personally. It is a rejection of the very principles that make a free society possible. Crazy. Sad.
  22. Lots of truth in here.
  23. Stabber stopped by a good guy with a gun, thankfully.
