What part of “There are alot of factors that determine a person’s state and condition. But the one with the most influence is that person’s behavior and choices.” suggests that i assume decisions occur in a vacuum?
Hilarious to see this trotted out, when Jesus teachings about the poor are VERY clear.
Libs pretending to lecture us about Jesus.
Talk about pretentious.
No it’s not. It’s based on their history and if up and till the point of voting…you can’t afford a stamp, you have shown that your methodology being applied in Ceasar’s world…isn’t working.
What next? Claiming that the requirement of a black ink pen to fill in the dots is also a burden?
Which doesn’t change that suggesting the opinions of the least fortunate among us are burdens is pretentious and unChristlike.
He didn’t suggest that.
And there you are complaining that people are inserting “suggestions” into your posts that you claim you did not say.
Physician, heal thyself!!

You’ve added more words- you’ve still kept the same flawed central assumption.
The only assumption I have made is that a poster here claimed that the poorest among us had a greater need to vote than the rest of us.
No you made the assumption that a person’s choices occur in a vacuum.
You’ve made another assumption too but we can deal with that separately.
What part of “There are alot of factors that determine a person’s state and condition. But the one with the most influence is that person’s behavior and choices.” suggests that i assume decisions occur in a vacuum?
You have separated out “person’s behavior and choices” as an independent category…as if the other categories do not influence it.
This is a false assumption. The other categories influence personal choices and decisions…oftentimes dramatically.
Your error is to separate these out as if they are independent variables.
No . Whats next is the lib intelligentsia saying it is a burden for these people to even represent themselves so THEY… the liberal intelligentsia and elite… will vote FOR them.
Postage requirement for mail-in ballots not a poll tax, federal judge rules - Washington Times
Judge: Postage requirement for mail ballots isn't a poll tax
Second link has an embedded link to the Opinion of the Court.
This particular case was in Georgia.
The one thing to take away from this.
A postage stamp is not a poll tax.
I don’t care how many marijuana joints you smoke.
How much cocaine or crack you ingest.
How much meth you ingest.
How much alcohol you ingest.
A postage stamp cannot be magically changed into a poll tax.
A poll tax is a capitation tax, imposed by a government equally upon every person under the jurisdiction of the government.
A postage stamp is a fee for a service.
No matter how many times people try this retardary, the end result will not change.
Just go down and buy the ■■■■■■■ stamp already.
I suppose it could be styled a literacy test. If you can’t come up with 55 cents, then its pretty much established your too ■■■■■■■ stupid to vote.
If someone is so poor that they literally can’t afford a stamp, how did they get a ballot in the first place? What address was the ballot mailed to? If someone was living in a house or apartment and received a ballot to mail back, and then in such a short time found themselves so broke they couldn’t afford a stamp, I’m guessing they have bigger problems than buying a stamp to mail a ballot. But, if they truly are so patriotic that mailing in that ballot is more important than any other financial concerns they must have, and if they have no family or friends generous enough to give them a stamp, well, I guess it’s just one less vote for Biden.
Darn! I so want him to win too…
Not sure if I agree with this ruling. No postage stamp is required when I mail in back my ballot.
The Lord’s Word regarding our subject.
I pride myself in very little. I simply don’t see those less fortunate than me as a burden on society. They have as much skin in “the game” as I do.
So you’re adding presumption to pretense from earlier.
Jesus didn’t demand people justify their poverty before He offered them help.
He had the opportunity to erase poverty from the face of the planet…but didn’t. Why?
I pride myself in very little. I simply don’t see those less fortunate than me as a burden on society.
I wouldn’t ask you to help me appraise a car either…why is that? When you answer that, you’ve also answered our discussion. That said, I do not turn ANYONE away, that crosses my path…and needs help.
A poll tax would also require payment no matter how you voted, I think.
If you vote in person, there is no postage to be paid.
Libs pretending to lecture us about Jesus.
Talk about pretentious.
Good personal sho…I mean contribution!
He didn’t suggest that.
And there you are complaining that people are inserting “suggestions” into your posts that you claim you did not say.
Err…
If…you can’t afford the stamp…for your vote…your opinion is a burden, not a value to the US.
The opinions of those least fortunate among us-who may not be able to afford a stamp-are a burden.
it’s right there.
Again, great contribution to the discussion!
Not that it matters, but there is no one in this country who cannot afford a stamp.
I wouldn’t ask you to help me appraise a car either…why is that? When you answer that, you’ve also answered our discussion.
What does this have to do with what I said? Nothing. Just more personal claptrap.
That said, I do not turn ANYONE away, that crosses my path…and needs help.
But you do consider their opinions to be burdens that have no value to the US… You said it right here:
If…you can’t afford the stamp…for your vote…your opinion is a burden, not a value to the US.
Not that it matters, but there is no one in this country who cannot afford a stamp.
Opinion noted.
What does this have to do with what I said? Nothing. Just more personal claptrap.
What does it have to do with it? If I adhered to it, it’d be a burden because I would most likely…lose money…which defies the goal. The same logic applies to our political discussion.
WuWei:Not that it matters, but there is no one in this country who cannot afford a stamp.
Opinion noted.
Personal claptrap?
It is not an opinion, it is a statement of fact. It is there for the asking. Or picking up.
