The Survivor

And of course, people of these other "faiths" (Atheism is a faith too in believing in no God) will say the same about Christians, how Christians are wrong.

Went from trolls to chickens. This is getting dark!

Hmmmm, morning thought.... can someone troll themselves?

Wow, nineteen pages of "online troll" talk.

I have that same issue. Clicking "chat" on the Worthy Ministries menu bar takes me to https://www.worthychristianchat.com/ which wants a password, and mine (that gets me into this site) does not even work. I just access CHAT when I come to this site, worthychristianforums.com, and just click on the chat box thing on the bottom right of my window (not that I even say much). I do not bother with clicking chat on the top menu.

I have been called a troll, and worse, on other boards or chat areas because I disagree and show "hate crimes" by not accepting other people's gay/les/trans lifestyles. Because of that, I am just a with a group of people (Christians) who commit hate crimes because I do not accept other people's lifestyles. I have been kicked and banned from so many places online because of it. Even in Second Life music clubs.

Many live off it. Makes them feel like no one can bring them down in a discussion.

Never seen one. Never felt one. Never smelled one. I know they out there but I am not a witness to any that would be considered a "miracle."

Trolls, they make my hearts beat so fast. I quit many forums and games over the ages because of them. Because in most of my cases, people will back them up over me. In some online bits, like Second Life, they can also be called a "griefer." Someone who harasses other people and even will crash other sims. People like to feel they are in control and better than everyone else by acting like jerks.

Daily I am counter attacked by people of their "faiths" (even the faith of no God) being the right one. I am not teacher to throw out quotes or scripture or such to answer questions. I am a poor witness in this form. Leading by example not work since, for example, people I work with are "legally married" to same gender people and they not going to divorce someone because "God loves all and this company loves its 'PRIDE'." I think I had a point, or I just rambled.

There are enough people trying to force their nastiness to "accept" social normality with gay and trans and crap, why not I do the same? I say NO because enough people are getting drunk enough, so maybe when they overbuy on Saturday, might make them one day sick enough the next day to quit.

Well..... I am in favor of it.

Global warming still an issue though. It is sad, very sad, about that continent. Humans destroy this planet one way or another. Yes, climate changes naturally but also humans speed up the process of destroying the ozone layer, chemicals, pollution, over population, and all that stuff. Along with that, humans just careless.

Oh no, @Neighbor, I am sorry. I did not mean to make it sound like you thought that. I was just commenting from what I read. Sorry.

I do not even have a TV. My cell is a prepaid at about $10 a month (and I do not use it really because I hate all phones but need it at times). I do not have some online streaming service. By American standards, I make a decent living wage (before taxes). After taxes and company benefits, kids (the ex is struggling in the job market and she is super smart), paying rent, school loans on a BS that did me nothing, and the car still needing repairs.... I live off Dollar Tree when I can still afford that. Some days I go without eating to save a buck. I am one of those hard workers, but I lack the skills needed to keep going up. I worked at many jobs where there are rarely promotions, because no one above you were moving on. I have had to survive now for decades just "making it" no matter how hard I have tried. So not everyone is spending money on $100 cell phones, cable TV, Netflix, $60 sneakers, and such.

Not going to disagree with you there about the workers. Only caring for themselves with their two houses, three cars, and a boat (even if they live in Kansas with no oceans). And, $300 haircuts with that. And to think, I just buzz my head myself to save $20.

Never expect technology to work 100% of the time as it is as imperfect as the humans who made it. Think how many times you hit 0 but the auto attendant will not give you a human to speak to. So you wait for 2-3 minutes listening to prompts that are only voice accessible and hate the fact you press other buttons, and then it does not understand you. I am the time who raises my blood pressure on my hearts because I refuse to do anything but hit 0 or speak to a human right away. So with tech not always understanding what you say, will also be a shame if the system crashes during your order. Or, just even a bug or blip to get your order wrong. No thanks. If no human is taking my order, I leave. Same reason i do not shop at Walmarts. They remove cashiers.

Interesting comments. The federal minimum wage is regulated by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor. Although the federal minimum wage rate is subject to change, it has not increased since 2009. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Seems like the government does have its hands in people's pay. A side note about praying. Yes, I suffered and I prayed. But I still lost a lot I prayed to not lose. Family. Friends. Credit. Evictions. Embarrassment. It took me years to dig out of the ground from a job loss, but I still suffered even more no matter how much I prayed. I may not be a good prayer, but I do know who God is and what He can do. I just do not expect Him to do anything I ask for because He is not a genie. Praying may work for other people better than I. Let me clarify one bit, so people do not need to go crazy about my lives... I am not looking for a job. I do work in high end tech, but I am also subjected to high taxes, high rent, stuck not saving, and unable to leave town due to obligations. Chances of layoff are always floating around. But I am not looking to work at McDonald's (today anyway). So I am not looking for work. Just in case that has to be clarified. I merely mentioned past experiences and experiences of what other people are going through. With lack of jobs, people who I know are stuck in smaller roles having to take up another part time job or two just to have enough to feed their kids. So my question is more to this country as a whole because all the stuff I read (and my attention span is short) is people suffering with job losses (not really the governments fault there) and lack of new jobs they want... or need to survive. I do enjoy reading most of the comments people have posted and your viewpoints. I hope to read more.

Of course but with jobs being more scarce, the only option are minimum wage if they are even available. Personal experience, I was laid of in 2011 and no one, not even fast food, would hire me. I had two degrees and all people saw was high tech and labor skills for the past 15 years (in one company) and all employees saw was "He needs real money." For two years I could not get hired until I did at Apple for a whopping $9/hr. I worked 80h a week for a year just to be able to afford rent each month. I know many adults way smarter than me and they are stuck with companies not hiring because they have no jobs available, and some are working in retail and fast food while trying to support kids and not lose a home they own. When I go into any fast food place I see mainly people from Mexico and usually all over 30 human years of age. Sure, I see teens, but also all from Mexico. I stopped going to many places because they can not understand what I am ordering. If you going to work in America, learn English is what I say. But, this is for another topic someday. But the point stands, lack of "living wage" jobs and yet the government is fine that adults, struggling to find high end work, are working in low paying positions.

Heh, sounds like paradise for me. I lived in the woods, isolated from others before. Was... relaxing. But stuck in an apartment I can not afford to leave and no homes around I can afford. I also can not leave the state (family obligations). And thinking about how people are dealing with low wage jobs (because I had to deal with them and lose a home because of a layoff) and with prices always going up, how can the government and businesses think this is good enough for the American people?

How can the government think that working American citizens and residents with families can afford to live off of minimum wage while for decades this country's jobs are being move and outsourced and given to illegals (yes they are I witnessed it for years first hand)? What ever happened to the American dream? Personally, I would like to own a home with plenty of space and land in a quiet area, but I can never afford to and there is no quiet places around where you can see the stars at night without city light affecting the view. So that not going to happen. Especially if my next job is at McDonald's (again) because no one else is hiring in the tech field. Your thoughts on how the government sees paying Americans low wages?

I am sure a lot of people in America would love to see Christians in prison too, instead of telling them how their marriage to same gender partners is wrong, how trans body changing is wrong, and all that "wrong" stuff.

These people better go to jail for a long time because nothing will stop them from doing it again. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/children-fight-off-carjacker-who-tried-to-steal-family-car/ar-BBYifLI?li=BBnbfcL

What do you think? So now it is a hate crime? They hate and torture Christian, but that is not a crime? https://www.foxnews.com/us/iowa-lgbtq-flag-fire-church-prison https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/iowa-man-16-years-lgbt-flag/ I heard this today on the radio from Rush Limbaug on a talk radio station today.

Not in the page I posted, but in the movie. The article just mentioned it which is why that movie made "franchise history."
