The Elasticity of Opinions
Debates and disagreements on all things political, religious, economic, racial and social are very much a part of human life. As people, we are all so vastly different with unique lived experience, upbringings, viewpoints, and biases. If we operate in a world where we express ourselves and our thoughts and beliefs honestly with others, especially others who are in fact so different from us, debate is only natural. I have learned so, so much from talking about important subjects from debating with other people.

Consideration of the direction society is taking. Is society developing in a sustainable way? In the “western” world, often called the developed world, (A term based on the economic standards of the viewer) and in the democratically governed nations, society appears to be taking a dangerous turn away from tolerance and towards the suppression of some views. A form of social fascism appears to be developing. This has nothing at all to do with ethnic or racial origins, it is about moral attitudes and “norms”.

I Love Star Wars So very, very much. It's one of those where, no matter what they add to it, whether I like it or not, all these things add something indescribably important to it. The second prequel movie was my very first Star Wars film, so no matter what issues you can bring up with the prequels, I'll fight to the end for them. I didn't watch all the animated shows they added to the canon, but I know how much richness they added to the lore, and appreciated them for it.

It was unexpectedly we were just going to a venue to hear a concert. And just in the beginning of it, we heard this loud sound. And everything was shaken, everything was sudden. Even the earth shaked like never before and exploded before us. People were running and scattering. People were screaming and running. People were no longer dancing and celebrating. And now the world was on Israel again, the world was focus on terrorism. And we were shakening as a nation, now realizing some of the victims of the terrorism as hostages were taken while others were killed suddenly. And families wanted answered and families wanted closure. Hostilities were rising and crises was evident. Our nation was in an uproar. And we wanted justice. We were refusing to back down because of all the bloodshed. The unnecessary bloodshed from an incident that should have never occurred. And as our nation moved more into the war, we saw justice. But we did not intend for the mass slaughter of more innocent lives. War is ugly. War is vicious. War is terrible. And many turning on us both friends and allies. Yet there were supporters some who knew what we were doing. We were trying to bring justice. We were trying to survive. We were trying to protect our future. And the darkness of war twisted our fate. It twisted our destiny. And as we further went into the war we were prevailing and becoming stronger each day. Why do these so-called warriors hide behind their people? Why do they hide in the hospitals? Why do they hide in the homes and tunnels? It becomes evident that they want to destroy no matter what. That they want to rid the world of us when they started this plot in the beginning. Did they not know that it would lead to this? Did they not know that it would accomplish more deaths? Yet they did not resist. They did not fight hatred but embrace hatred. And now we are in the midst of a humanitarian crisis. And hope seems fading. Hope seems fleeing. But we have to come together. We have to fight this with the rest of the world. We have to come together against death and hatred. We must begin to work together with the rest of the world. Terror cannot be fought alone. And the war deepens, the war rages and the war embolden. The terrorists' supporters cast a night of bombs over us. Just when negotiations have come to light, they seek to annihilate our people. But we were not alone, thank God, our allies came for us. Our allies bursted the bombs in the air. Our allies from Great Britain, our allies from America, and yes our allies from Saudi Arabia. We now realized that this fight against terror, this fight against hatred and this fight against death is gonna be won by justice. Even in our villages, our towns, and our cities which were terrorized by terrorists. Our people are not afraid anymore. Our people are brave. Our people are strong. Our people are willing to fight for life. They see danger as no more threat. They are willing to fight to preserve the land. And they walk without fear and they are against hatred and terror. Because they have become numb after decades of threats, hundreds of years of hatred, and centuries of humiliation. They are free. They walk proudly and they are unafraid. For instance, one of our brave women, who was fighting to keep her family safe. Who had no other alternative but to face her accusers and her attackers outside her home. She bravely stood against their guns no longer resisting, and the attackers walked away. That's how brave our people are and that's how much a people of faith we are. We will not back down any longer.

Nicholas BishopPublished 11 days ago in The SwampShould the U.S. Pay Reparations to Black Americans?
I know that most people are already fixed in their position for or against reparations, and many will prematurely close out this article as soon as it looks like the conclusion being reached doesn’t agree with their own. However, there are many factors being considered below and the argument is a winding one. Ultimately, any that are entirely for or entirely against are likely to disagree in part with the final conclusion reached.
