I don’t know if I was so all over the place that you didn’t take that away from my posts but this is exactly what I’m trying to say. Besides that religious influence is bad, as there wouldn’t be the US without any. But as I said no time.
The post from @BrickHead with “Results” illustrated the point you made here in the first paragraph.
Then we are mostly in agreement.
Historically, yes. I think now religion is used in politics too much. A politician can say they are a strong Baptist in the south to get votes, when IMO, that should be irrelevant to voters (but it isn’t). I think we would be better off if we evaluated policy vs. what religion someone claims to be.
Legalize anything that hasn’t been known to cause homeless men to eat another’s face off.
A father doesn’t need to be removed from a home and then forged into an actual hardened criminal inside a penitentiary simply for getting high.
Can’t tell if you are being sarcastic here? I know you have some libertarian stances which makes this one hard to judge.
No, I’m serious. I believe so for conservative reasons, the breaking up of families. You don’t remove parents over pot and whatever.
I believe so for consistency reasons. I don’t think we should mandate morality of something so subjective. I am pro 2nd amendment for the same reasons. It doesn’t matter to me if someone else doesn’t understand why someone wants to own an assault rifle. The assault rifle owner likely doesn’t understand why you want pot legalized. I don’t think one could support one and not the other and remain logically consistent. Both are more dangerous to use than not to use, but that isn’t a good justification to ban them.
yeeeeeessssir I do. Other notable hair metal bands I like/listen to are skid row, motley crue (talk about degeneracy, doesn’t get worse than these guys), scorpions, white snake and twisted sister.
The price of passionfruit in Australia is unreasonably high!!! University student unreal24278 can’t afford it (messing around by mentioning totally irrelevant subject matter). I’m losing quite a bit of weight because my caloric intake isn’t particularly high and I’m walking evvvvveerrryywhere. A packet of ramen noodles costs like sixty cents, care to take a wager as to what my dietary intake consists of?
Dee Snider is a guy who interests me. From what I have seen the guy is pretty smart (his senate hearing speech against censorship is awesome BTW). I don’t think he drinks, has been with his wife since the 80s, and has 4 kids.
He seems to take a nuanced approach to his stances.
Very nice selection! I love Whitesnake. They have been great since the beginning through the 90s. First their powerful blues rock, then the more metal hard rock type. Both are great. Motley Crue are nice and I like a lot of songs but with them it’s more the image they portray as I don’t think they are the most talented musicians, still good though. You are right, they practically are degeneracy. But I seriously can’t blame hard rockers from the 80s for their lifestyle haha
Scorpions are German! I like them too and I’m sometimes amazed that as Germans they produced such great hard rock cause there are no other bands I know of that did from here.
I can recommend Mr. Bigs album “Lean into it” if you haven’t heard it, they were so talented and nearly every song on that album is very good.
Did you know Slash from Guns N Roses was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy (age 35) secondary to his lifestyle?
No really? He’s the favorite guitarist of a good friend of mine and I’ve been to a concert in 2018 I think. Too much cocaine probably
Paul Gilbert is nearly deaf, also Brian Johnson is, there’s many who died from that era. Sure was a crazy time.
Edit: is that why Slash never sings?!
I mean we’re in a thread where people have mentioned the problems with porn, cheating, etc and yet the candidate who fucked a porn star and paid her to stay quiet, who has scammed multiple people, etc is the overwhelming preferred candidate of voting Christians.
Maybe for those who say we should use Christian viewpoints on everything we could reply sounds like we already are? I mean isn’t that who so many of them (including their preachers) are holding up to lead us?
If we’re going to go Amish here T-Nation has to shut down 
And we could save a lot of money as well. But that’s not really the issue because some people are making a lot of money off the breaking up of those families and imprisonment.
You better not be thinking that anything is more important than pure profit all the time. What are you some socialist?!
Accept, Sodom, Kreator, Destruction.

Secularism is a Christian concept, even in post-Christian Scandinavian countries.
Much of the friction with Islam/West friction comes from the attempt to force the peculiarly Christian concept of secularism onto other political-religious systems (the current concept of religio is also Christian).
It has many similar elements. I’m not arguing that nothing good came out of it, just that I think at this point a secular government is preferable.
Do you believe in welfare and such? Random curiosity.
Personally, I actually do believe in mandating morality. I don’t hold that it’s immoral to do so.
that and rampant alcoholism.
Fantastic bands, but not hair metal
