RonD1120 58 #51 May 11, 2015 Yes, I can see how that would be confusing. Religious people are often rigid. We call those type "legalists." We invite them to our cookouts and then shake our heads in amusement when they leave. We just say, "Let God sort them out."Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonD1120 58 #52 May 11, 2015 BTW, why do you associate with these people and call them friends. You obviously do not like them or what they stand for. Just curious.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

AndyBoyd 0 #53 May 12, 2015 skycopThere is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the maples scream 'Oppression!' And the oaks just shake their heads So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights 'The oaks are just too greedy We will make them give us light' Now there's no more oak oppression For they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe and saw Great song. I'm not getting what it has to do with this thread, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnC88xBPkkc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycop 0 #55 May 12, 2015 The metaphorical meaning(s) of the song..............sorta Could be made to fit the current unrest, sorta...... Plus a little Rush applied to anything never hurts......;) "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,122 #57 May 12, 2015 That's really ugly and personal. From what I've read, largely inaccurate, too. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

ShotterMG 0 #59 May 12, 2015 I will give you a pass. Not much one can say to someone who routinely misunderstands everything he reads. It is noteworthy however that as the only other self identified cop in this thread you are nearly illiterate. Kinda proves my point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycop 0 #62 May 12, 2015 Trolling at it's finest, rather than making me mad, it just makes me shake my head and sigh. This is the essence of the radical anti-police crowd, they make accusations, yell, scream, but in the end they really have no point. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"
