every Gop dominated state had extreme laws vote by the reps who are mostly christo-fascist
no vote of the people has gone that way all said NO to christo-fascist abortion ideals
all vote for freedom from rules true non christo-fascist darksider BS the Gop and rump push on others |

ray, get over it. You live in a predominantly Christian nation. Our laws were inspired by Judeo-Christian writings.
Our money says 'In God We Trust'.
Deal with it.

Well, not exactly. The founders "assumed" the Christian God... but they intentionally founded the nations on the principles of separation of "church and state." This was for the specific purpose of preventing a religious individual, such as the Catholic Pope, from imposing their will on the rule of law ... such as the Pope would often do throughout European history. To that point though, the foundational values of the country reflected that... acknowledging of course that man is flawed, and that we violated these religious tenants by having slaves, etc. But the founders knew and understand this, and had to carefully and diplomatically navigate these issues to create a set of governing documents that the colonies - then states - would be willing to ratify.
Now, if the majority of the citizens are "christian" and vote for things that are christian-based, then that's the will of the people, and isn't a reflection on the government, but the people. To that end, the mass importation of illegal immigrants, the overwhelming majority of whom are Christian, will most certainly increase the level of Christianity in this country.

The First Amendment prevents the Government from endorsing one religion over another.
All of us have the liberty to believe what we want to believe.
It's up to each of us to decide what, if any, path we want to follow.

WTF? It is certainsly an issue. Do you not read any news about what is going on with the upcoming Presidential election?
https://www.cnn.com/2024/03...ff-survey/index.html
"About half of registered voters in the United States say this year’s elections will have a “major impact” on access to abortion, and about 1 in 8 voters says that abortion is the most important issue driving their vote,"

What SHOULD be more obvious to them is that every legal scholar knew Roe v. Wade was a bad decision, as did the majority of Democrat scholars. But Democrats had over 50 years to come up with some sort of law that enshrined at least some level of abortion rights. Literally at any point, they could have. They've been addressing the threat of Roe v. Wade being overturned for as long as I've been alive (because they knew it was bad law), but not once did they take a serious approach to implementing it. The only time I can remember is during a Republican majority, and they tried to push the most ridiculous abortion bill that almost no one would have voted for... pretty much authorized killing of the child AFTER birth. So... they were never really serious about it.
The Democrats do a really good job of hyping up people who are gullible, or even stupid, but most people are seeing that their "rights" are exactly what they want them to be based on the states they live. People in California do not have an issue getting an abortion, nor do people in New York... or many other ultra-liberal states. So it's only an issue for the small minority of the population in conservative state's who's vote for Biden would largely be meaningless anyway.
When you look at the stats, it doesn't present the same emphasis as the title does. Nearly 1/4th of the people who say abortion rights are important to them, still said they planned to vote for Donald Trump. Only 19% of the total of the "1 out of 8 women" were even in a state that had a ban... which means the preponderance of them are likely in liberal states. So... who cares if 1 out of every 8 people in California and New York view abortion as the most important thing in the world to them?

82 T/A said there were only "a couple of adults here and there".
I proved that almost half (43%) of adults smoke pot.
I was correct and 82TA was wrong.

Hahah... wait, WHAT? I didn't even know your claims were so absurd.
Dude... I don't even know where you get your **** from... good lord. What you must think about society if you think 43% of adults smoke pot in the United States.. my God.
It's not even half of that.
https://news.gallup.com/pol...smoke-marijuana.aspx
"Age is a significant driver of the likelihood of smoking marijuana. About a quarter of young adults, those aged 18 to 34, say they smoke marijuana (26%), but reported use falls to 18% among adults aged 35 to 54 and is even lower, 11%, among adults aged 55 and older. Marijuana usage varies across other demographic groups:
- Men (19%) are more likely than women (14%) to use marijuana.
- College graduates (9%) are about half as likely as those without a college degree (21%) to smoke marijuana.
- Democrats (22%) are more likely than Republicans (12%) to report smoking marijuana, with independents’ rate (17%) falling between them.
As I've said... most of the people who smoke pot, are kids. And it drops as you get older. Seriously, this is like the absolute dumbest thing I think I've heard you say. Like, did you not understand that the percentages above were the percentage OF PEOPLE WHO SMOKE POT? I can't with this nonsense...[This message has been edited by 82-T/A [At Work] (edited 04-04-2024).]

I actually think these numbers are closer to reality than the study I cited. As I said in my post those numbers sounded a little high to me. About 50% claim that they have tried marijuana at some point in their life, but I don't know if 43% are still smoking at least once a month in their 40's and 50's.
I am man enough to admit when I might be wrong. Too bad you are not.
