Re: God save America
 
I wish to register a complaint. I believe that the title of this thread be changed to

Someone or Something save America.

Surely this title God save America is offensive to atheists, women, trans gendered persons and persons of colour?

Why does it have to be God?

Are you drunk? Other than among the atheists there are lots of God fans counted in the other groups. The person who starts the thread makes the title.

No Im not drunk :lol: The mods have the ability to change a thread title if they so wish;)
Oh Im sure there are lots of God supporters in those other groups I mentioned.
Has anyone asked God if he wants to actually save America?
Perhaps you could give him a call and post his answer.

Perhaps you need another coffee and reread the post then you might get it like your polygraph comment yesterday;)

OP here. I made the thread shortly after watching Trump's inaugural address. It was a play on the the American presidential custom of saying, "God bless America".

God is ok, it's not saying which god is it, it's just a God or your God, if u don't believe in any God then yeh it could be a thread to stay away from.

Oh I know Im just trying to have a bit of fun however in this modern PC world I was merely demonstrating that the title excludes those groups I mentioned and that the title might offend a member of these groups.

Too early in the morning for some to grasp my failed attempt at satire and just how crazy this world is becoming.

Crazy world in our eyes yeh agreed

But seriously, how long was it before the terror turned its tables and disgruntled white kids watching and having "Isis this and Muslim that" rammed into their heads, started revenge killing inside Islamic meeting places ?

Really it's time all this just stopped. But it won't will it, it will just get worse.

Do please explain this head ramming. I have some white kids and have not been aware of them being head rammed (except on the ice hockey pitch).

The man has a point.
Personally I don't care who or what people choose to believe or not to believe in, but we should realise that this site should tolerate different arguments.. even those you disagree with.
Suggesting that some should stay away from this thread simply because they express views you don't like should give us pause for thought.

Kathleen Wynne is not part of Trump's government (at least not as far as I know).
