I equate it with cruelty these days. Christians voted Trump into power twice now, and they also cheered when Roe v Wade was overturned (leading to huge amounts of pain, suffering, and death for women.)
The grand majority of Christians are the antithesis of Jesus' teachings.

That's the beauty of Christianity, though. You've got four different accounts and four different Jesuses. It's a very 'Choose Your Own Adventure' kind of deal.
" If tomorrow all the things were gone
I worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife
I thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A."
I, as a child to very Conservative parents who was 11 when this song came out, loved this fucking song. This one, and the "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" song by Tony Keith. I felt sooooooo patriotic belting out "We'll put a boot in yer ass, its the 'Murican way". And these songs were EVERYWHERE. There was also "Where were you when the world stopped turning?"
Thank God my husband woke me tf up.
Even barring my hella conservative upbringing, the amount of attempted indoctrination from media alone is astounding.
Capitalizing on a tragedy is unfortunately a human truth we're never going to fully beat, but it's the blatant "America makes no mistakes and you better say that or you suck" that is so...especially egregious.
Well, there are such things are begging rings. And begging for money doesn't mean you are homeless. But I have a hard time believe that anyone believes someone would choose to be smelly, dirty and cold to earn some pocket change.
However I did have a weird experience once. I was in the train in Berlin and a guy with a deformed leg was crawling in the train asking for money. His foot looked gruesomely twisted, it was weird. But then a few days later by coincidence I saw the exact same guy sitting normally in the same train line. So either there's some weird business going on, of he begged enough money to fix his leg.

Worse she was just waiting on a fucking ambulance because she couldn't continue walking
I'm just surprised the cop didn't write the baby a ticket as well.
100% a Christian country.
People are just largely in denial about what being a Christian means.

Knee-jerkers are down-voting this but I want everyone to know that this was blasting on every radio after 9/11 and it was awful.

WTF is "street camping"?
A made up concept to make being homeless illegal.
A not very creative way to criminalize homelessness
Choosing to sleep on the streets instead of in their house. Why won't she just go home, to the home she obviously has and doesn't use??

In Fresno we charge the unhoused a $1000 fine, which is more than a months worth of rent in a shitty studio.
I wish I could get a shitty apartment for under $1000 within an hour of my job.

Has this not been thrown out yet? How have we not roasted the mayor and city council yet?
Itโs there a video that accompanies this screen grab?
