Illinois soybean farmers worry trade war with China will lead to permanent loss of market share

dmatic comments on Sep 8, 2019:

Interesting article. As in any market, supply and demand should determine price. Soybean prices were very low and falling even before the 'trade war'. why? Because the abundant supply was outpacing the demand. On top of the ever increasing supply, the China hog decimation further decreased demand. So, why grow stuff that fewer are demanding? The Illinois farmer quoted in the article had it right....grow something else.

Just joined this group, and I hope it is not a foolish endeavor. You bring up a great scripture! Is. 45:7 I think. Other scriptures point to the truth of it, as well, but many do not comprehend...or, at least those who have created a god in their own image, do not comprehend the depth of this truth. God created ALL things. But, your conclusions, camerakid, show an improper, incomplete, and illogical jump from the truth of Is. 45:7. Hopefully, first of all, is that you do desire to know Truth, and not just look for support for your pre-conceived position? The problem of evil and its origin and purpose has, indeed, plagued thinkers for a long time. Happy to discuss it with you, however. If you want. Thanks

The question is: Why is the left so obsessed with JP? I didn't know they were, but, sometimes we are rightly focused on those things which make us uncomfortable, in order to investigate the cause. Truth can often make a person uncomfortable. Jordan has a sincere way of speaking truth and defending it that shatters the myth of the left's lies that they believe. Obviously, it is painful to discover that you have been deceived. I pray they don't just ignore the discomfort. Nor try to ridicule those who sincerely are trying to search for truth, as they (the left) attempt to bolster their own deception.

dmatic comments on Aug 26, 2019:

Great question! Greed is not a wholesome characteristic, obviously, and can be deadly. It has been said that the love of money is the root of all evil. If greed inspires a love of money, then, how could it be considered good for an economy? What determines proper judgment for an economy? An 'economy' produces, distributes and consumes wealth. An economy is good when it produces things that enable people to live. Greed kills.

March For Our Lives unveils their radical gun control agenda- [bearingarms.com]

dmatic comments on Aug 22, 2019:

Received this in an email today: Interesting: Take your time, you're going to want to read this carefully: Interesting statistics! This jives with the research of Prof. John Lott at the University of Chicago, who is a noted expert on gun laws and stats. Here are some facts: There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. The U.S. population is 324,059,091 as of June 22, 2016. Do the math: 0.00925% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant. What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put them in perspective as compared to other causes of death: 65% of those deaths are by suicide, which would never be prevented by gun laws. 15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified. 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug related or mentally ill persons – better known as gun violence. 3% are accidental discharge deaths. So technically, "gun violence" is not 30,000 annually, but drops to 5,100. Still too many? Now lets look at how those deaths spanned across the nation. 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago 344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore 333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit 119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior years) So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the root cause. This basically leaves 3,825 for the entire rest of the nation, or about 75 deaths per state. That is an average because some States have much higher rates than others. For example, California had 1,169 and Alabama had 1. Now, who has the strictest gun laws by far? California, of course, but understand, it is not guns causing this. It is a crime rate spawned by the number of criminal persons residing in those cities and states. So, if all cities and states are not created equal, then there must be something other than the tool causing the gun deaths. Are 5,100 deaths per year horrific? How about in comparison to other deaths? All death is sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a crime but that is the nature of crime. Robbery, death, rape, assaults are all done by criminals. It is ludicrous to think that criminals will obey laws. That is why they are called criminals. But what about other deaths each year? 40,000+ die from a drug overdose–THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT! 36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal gun deaths. 34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities(exceeding gun deaths even if you include suicide).

Thank you. Not sure why you want to get this Jordan Peterson, but, I'll try to respond, though I don't have the time to do so...:) Your first sentence startled me: "God is the creator and we are the masters of our path." This seems to be contradictory. I think I understand that you are trying to be responsible for your thoughts and actions, and you are, because we will all give an accounting of ourselves to our Creator (or His agent), but to suggest that we are the masters of our path seems an illusion. Also, God is not incomprehensible. You are certainly correct, however, when you say we have limited knowledge...that is true. Limited by Whom? or What? God is the Master. He is the Creator. He authors the path, too. He has pre-destinated us, meaning, in my view, that He will get us to the destination that He has planned for us. He will do it....even though we don't yet know how He does. He works within us to will and to do of His good purpose. It is OK for you to acknowledge Him as the Master and you His servant, or even, son.

Interestingly, a good friend (as opposed to a bad one) told me in February 2016, before the election, that God had whispered in his ear, 21 years earlier: "Wait till I play My Donald Trump card." I cringed at the time, because Trump was not my guy, but he is now! I think God is having some fun with all of us! Sit back, and enjoy the show! (Trust God)
