†...Good morning Brightstar...><> James you asked this: If I misrepresented what you said then explain why you said it. That question is a bit confusing. Why I said what? ________ ________ James this is what you said in response to my saying that I did not agree with mandated dress codes. You said: I can't believe that you approve of these gangbanger attires and lip rings, nose rings, tongue rings, nipple rings, Its like Sodom and Gomorra! Come out of your cave and see what is happening to our society!(vbg) And that misrepresented what I said. I in no way approve of many things, including the way some people dress. But I don't dare put myself in such a position of authority to dictate what others should wear. And I certainly do not believe, that clothes determine the violent, or lack of viloent nature attributed to any human being. Not purple hair, not green hair, not nose,belly, or nipple rings, not backwards caps, not even upside down caps, and not trench coats, fake fur coats or no coats at all, are reliable indicators of the violent nature of anyone. And yes James I abhor the way some kids choose to dress and stand out like a sore thumb in our society. I have even on occasion spoke personally, and eye to eye, with some of these kids, when an opportunity presented itself. Just to get a better understanding of why? You know what James...some of them just say, why not? ButI suppose I will continue to do so. Another question I always ask myself is "Where are their parents? God where are there parents? James many intelligent Christian and non Christian men and women who are fighting to get some of the violence and blood and guts kind of hero movies of the screen, some are even talking about taxing Hollywood a huge tax on the violent films. They say it will be used as a fund to help support victims who may have become a victim because the perp. was influenced by a violent film. That is a bunch of nonsense. Pure Nonsense There are also many Christian and non Christian groups trying to get all violent video games and music lyrics out of America.! It won't work! If that group of society want to see and hear violence, they will get in from the underground where it will be readily available.... if it were ever made illegal. James don't you get it? We need to be raising a society that does not want to see those films, play those videos, hear that kind of music. And until there can be no huge profits made from violence of any kind, there will always be a market for it. The bottom line is always the same....Economics. If there is a market for it...legal or otherwise, it will flourish!! Have to go for now Talk to you again later Sincerely, Shalom...><> Matt 15:16-20 16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. (KJV) dirty hands are no indicator of what is in a mans heart... Not even dirty or different clothes.! Hey James remember Legions...he wore no clothes!..smile...
