Culinary, Arts, Thread.

Please explain to me what I should say in disagreeing with you. Lol. That's a Joke in case you missed it.

If you want to explain, you can can explain it right here. But the only thing I don't understand is why would anyone want more people to understand it?

The reason I ask is the ones that already understand it, understand it. The ones that don't, won't. Not in the way the others do. The way it should be understood.

Understanding how and why people form their ideas is intriguing to me. I don't agree with a lot that I receive when I ask for clarity. But someone who can walk me through the how and why of what they think and the conclusions they've reached sparks different ways to consider my ideas. Both about the subject discussed and other subjects.

Since that approach is important to me, I offer to others if they want. I don't need (or care) if others understand as a bridge to agreement. To be completely candid, I've never been troubled by what others think about me. If others don't care about understanding my thought process, that's completely fine, too.
 
I guess if "I wish more people understood their day to day lives aren't going to be affected much" means that they need to be more concerned with long term, I misunderstood.
I don't see evidence the long term is tracking the way I would ideally like to see it. I have abandoned my hope the future will be what I thiink it should be. I am resigned that we move in the wrong direction (in many ways) at a glacial pace.

All that's fine, but you lost me on what your point is concerning my post. I wasn't saying I thought you were wrong, I was just telling you that your comment made me think, and I went back and forth on my opinion on it and then what I settled on.

10-4. We're clear. I understood your post. I was not offering to unpack further because I thought you were confused about my perspective or because I was confused on yours.

Simply offering to dialogue since you went back and forth and disagreed. No ulterior motives.

I don't believe it is.

"some see the world as falling apart but those who trust in Jesus sees it as it coming together just as He said"

That's hard to swallow. Even for "those" who trust.

100%. If I didn't have faith in my Lord and an eternity of perfection with all the Saints, I would be a much different person. America is important to me. I adore what I think this country is supposed to stand for. So much so, that I could make it my god and politics my religion. Thankfully, I have a Savior to invest my devotion and faith into.

My hope is in heaven. I have walked away from Sodom and Gomorrah (america) and I am not looking back.

Yeah, that can take it in a whole different direction that I'm not willing to go today. But I'll say I believe that with everything ounce of my heart, but I don't act like it all the time and that is a mystery.

I want a candidate who reduces size, spending, and power of federal govt. I want one who is not on the fringes of social issues. I want one who will propose and execute a competent immigration policy that takes into account patroling the border and not turning a blind eye to those already here.
So, you want the pre-Reagan Republican Party to reassert itself…

One candidate might be slightly better than the other but neither fill any of those qualities...

Do you think this was a catch/touchdown?
