Bloodrock - D.O.A.

Laying here looking at the ceiling
Someone lays a sheet across my chest
Something warm is flowing down my fingers
Pain is flowing all through my back

I try to move my arms and there's no feeling
And when I look I see there's nothing there
The face beside me stopped it totally bleeding
The girl I knew has such a distant stare

I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air

Then I looked straight at the attendant
His face is pale as it can be
He bends and whispers something softly
He says there's no chance for me

I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air

Life is flowing out my body
Pain is flowing out with my blood
The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying
God in Heaven, teach me how to die

I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air

Redial,

"So is it your opinion that the most qualified candidate for any position is always the straight white man? That's what "DEI" is... the subset of humanity that are not straight, white men."

No.

S*** for brains,

"What a fraudster you are. You didn't give a crap about mail-in voting. You just used it to whine about Trump's loss and to excuse Trump's insurrection"

A month before the election in 2020 I was voicing my concerns about the potential for voting irregularities.

Corky,

I said before I am selective what sort of negativity I watch.

The first one was mocking Jesus. What makes you think I would like that?

I didn't watch the 2nd one.

You spend your day watching stuff like that?

Laura,

"BTW I see you have stopped talking about mail-in ballots and mail-in voting. Surprise surprise."

This election voting wasn't as loosey goosey as 2020.

States understood the risks and some made improvements.

It has been reported that just a few hours earlier there was another helicopter and plane near miss.

Redial,

While DEI initiatives do not legally mandate quotas, in practice they often function as de facto quotas.

Redial,

"Believe it or not, it's possible to be both."

Actually not.

For example when you render video you have to decide.

Reduced file size or faster rendering.

Or the ever present choices we make concerning quality vs quantity.

Common sense should tell you that forced quotas will eliminate sometimes better qualified candidates.

But you have to have common sense.

Btw...didn't we learn globalization at the expense of our own national needs doesn't work like you thought it would?

Probably not...it needs common sense.

Alex,

Bible thumper.

It pretty well provides Trump with a reason to suspect dei initiatives may be part of the problem.

Whether or not this crash applies, most certainly common sense should tell you eliminating mandatory retraining after 2 close incidents as Obama did was not wise.

Obama considered it punishment rather than retraining and so he created the amnesty program.

Read up on Obama's amnesty program he instituted for air traffic controllers to get a more enlightened perspective.

Just read it.

Corky,

Very disappointing answer.

Turning this topic into a political hit job shows me you have Trump Derangement Syndrome.

I tried to talk to you. I won't again.

Corky,

I listened to some of this video and agree with his emphasis on compulsive obsessions and fear.

Frankly, I am a little concerned that we humans are becoming the mice in BF Skinner's experiments using reinforcement schedules.

The secular world uses random reinforcement schedules to keep us hooked and so do many churches.

For example, a person who gives money to his church and one particular week he gave a larger amount and then happened to strike an oil well that same week might become just as obssessed with giving to his church as someone who buys lottery tickets and randomly wins.

Personally, I am concerrned about being addicted to things...both secular and religious POV.

The money example I gave is what Western Christianity (especially churches that emphasise the prosperity doctrine) has intertwined money, faith, and divine rewards for unfortunately much of the Christian world.

In both cases (tithing and lottery tickets) a person may develope obsessions because of a random reinforcement schedule.

Corky....but my question is directed at you.

why did this video matter to you? What made you want to share it?

Speak for yourself what this means to you and not just Pete and repete other people.

What point are you making with this thread?

I won't have time to respond to you tonight but feel free to answer me if you wish.

Laura,

Trump did say a problem with America these days is a growing lack of common sense.

How does that go...Occam's Razor?

Funny...I thought most people with common sense already believed it was a lab leak.

It would be like having a major oil spill next to an oil refinery and expecting people to believe it was a natural occurance.

Corky,

He sounds like he's been dealing with people coming to him who had a harsh upbringing and/or a very harsh view of God perhaps from their church.

Again...I'm not interested in hearing about that perspective because I don't have that in my life and don't wish to pollute my mind with such negative thinking about God.

Corky,

"Oxford Chair and was an Anglican Bishop. Also a scholar of ancient history, including being considered the foremost in his field of Old and NT studies by other such scholars."

Then by your logic all Biblical scholars with established positions agree on everything since they all are experts.

Can you explain why they don't all agree?

Remember when you go to the doctor, someone got the lowest grade in his graduating class.

Back to my post #3, his 2 openly assertions were both bulls***.

You sure know how to pick em.

Corky,

"He is vile, a liar, a bully, a hater, a serial adulterer, an adjudicated rapist and a convicted Felon.... why is he your hero again??"

Strike 4....you still swinging?

He's not my hero.

As far as the rest of it...sort of a moot point now doncha think?

Corky,

Sounds like you're in the middle of spirtual warfare.

You seem to be fairly fixated.

On this earth, as a Christian, you need to be ever vigilant what evil ideas you let yourself get exposed to.

Corky,

"That quote is what he set up to knock down, duffus"

I could say, "We're often led to believe the moon is either a) made of cheese or b) inhabited by moon-men."

Now I'll made a video explaining why that's not true.

How about I don't waste my time watching the video?

Corky,

"The current biggest myth in America is that Trump is somehow a Christian"

Nope...I don't positively believe that either.

I'd replace is with may be.

As it stands I don't believe what you said is a true statement.

Strike 3.....you're out.

From the video introduction,

"We're often led to believe that God is either a) a long way away and disinterested in humanity or b) angry at humanity."

If that's his assertion he will be talking about in his video, I have no desire to watch it or know anything about this man.

I've never been led to believe either of them.

No wonder atheists are so confused about Christianity.

Laura,

You sure seem to like to read my posts.

Just sayin

Bell,

I agree Biden's pardons look much worse than Trump's.

Trump didn't cover up any crimes. Everything is out in the open and transparent.

Bidens's pardons have the appearance of being crooked and preventing cohorts from being charged.

What does Joe know?

Being immediate family members reeks.

I'm done with this topic.
