I agree with you.
But Flagpole's gonna do what Flagpole's gonna do. Nobody is going to get him to knock it off. And it only adds to the annoyance level for folks to try.

That’s a strange thought to have. I thought we were having a friendly dialogue about our respective trips. Where and how is that a “dig.”
Yes. The US does have some great places (I’ve spent extensive time in every state). I recommend you broaden your horizons and travel internationally though. There are some fantastic sights, people, food, and culture that you just can’t get in the US.
Hitting up Disneyland with the fam in SoCal, I assume?? Have fun and tell Mickey hello.
Ok. My bad. I apologize unreservedly. I thought you meant it as a dig.
No Disneyland for us...not our thing. My kids are adults now, and they prefer big roller coasters anyway, so Cedar Point in Ohio is their favorite over Disneyland or Disney World. Will be doing typical Los Angeles area stuff sans Disneyland and then perhaps headed to San Diego.
I did my time in SoCal years ago. Wouldn't live there again. Parts can be nice - not much culture though. Food is generally blah.
Staying couple weeks or more?

We are in charge of whether we tell the truth or not. To point to Jesus as an example of someone who never lied and then say we can't be like that is giving permission to lie.
No reason for a person with integrity to lie. Those of you who are liars, you can change and become a non-liar.
I come on to this message board mostly for entertainment. Maybe I do a little venting, maybe I pick up some new ideas, maybe I spar or debate a little bit, but mostly its for fun. I honestly never get offended by a letsrun post, even if I'm attacked. I think you don't get offended easily and in that spirit I have some questions for you.
Your last post apparently annoyed some people, but I find it really interesting that you would post that you never tell a lie.
So I have these questions to delve into this a little further.
(1) Are you absolutely sure that you never lie?
(2) When was the last time you told a lie? Have you always been that way or as a young adult did you have an epiphany regarding the importance of never lying. Did little boy flagpole, sometimes lie?
(3) What about white lies on unimportant issues told to protect someone's feelings? I assume that you would lie then right? "How do I look today" "Well, I have to be honest, you look kind of ugly"

Curious, when was the last time you lied?
I know Pence is trump’s lap dog, but this new stuff with Barr is extremely inappropriate, unethical, and likely another violation of the emoluments clause for trump.
Barr has booked a luxury trump hotel in DC for a cool $30k. Just think about that. The top justice department guy in the US is openly engaging in conflict of interest activities. At my last job I couldn’t even receive small gifts from clients as to not give the appearance of improper relationships. Yet here is Barr putting money directly in trump’s pocket. I mean how many luxury hotels must there be in DC? He had to choose that one? WTF is going with this country that republicans find this acceptable? There are too people in government, including the VP openly paying favors to trump, and a lot of those are costing taxpayers millions.
Trumpers - are you ok with this? And don’t say that it’s fine because it’s legal. Are you ok with this lack of ethics?

You are either lying or stupid if you think Flagpole doesn't get offended easily. He is perhaps the poster who gets the most offended on a daily basis here.

Yes, we are okay with anything that lines Trump's pockets. Alms for the rich.

I oppose Trump as much as the next guy, but you're making a mountain out of a molehill here.

True. As it says in Romans 6:
11In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. 14For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
In other words, stop spreading fake news and misleading quotes. Stop filling this thread with things you know to be false.

We all have a sin nature, that is not going away even if you're a born again Christian. The sin nature will go away once we meet Christ in the air and we are transformed with immortal bodies. Until that day comes, Flagole will tell lies as ALL humans do. As for Flagpole's Christianity, I do not think he has ever accepted the Lord as his Savior. If he has, then I stand corrected.
I have decided that I will make a post here to match every lie Trump has told while in office.
12,000 posts to go and counting.

How can you say Flagpole will lie when he is adamant that he has NEVER lied. He is 100% ethical 100% of the time. He is comfortable calling women whores but he is 100% uncomfortable EVER lying.
