General Political Discussions

We discuss, especially politically, the 'nefarious' agenda that homosexuals have in this country. And quite frankly I am sympathetic to a lot of this, but at the same time, I can't help but feel that much of this sort of discussion is manipulative and wrong-headed.

I expect this to be a very controversial topic, but I thought that the question was worth asking. Do you believe that there is a law requiring you to pay an income tax?

Nice one, Mitt, nothing more awful than polygamy and its practice under God's direction. Polygamy is not in practice now, but was once a commandment and is still an eternal principle and yet decries something given of God to His Kingdom on earth as "awful" to the public. I sure hope Thompso...

What about those who have vastly different ideas? Do you just not care about those folks? What's the story? How do you keep the two seperate? --Ray
