BellaOnline Forums News and Politics Current Events 2016: Obama's America

I post on dozens of forums. Thus, I am stretched pretty thin. It is hard for me to become deeply involved in as many debates as I would like. I hope you understand. Time is of the essence. If you want to know me better, go to jimcolyer.com. I am a songwriter in Nashville.

Jim-

Are you really connecting a shooting in Wisconsin to our President? Are we to look back at all of our country's violence and link it to each President in Office?

On a separate note, my apologies for calling your statements racist.

To Yvonnie,

You should ask Mr Colyer,to read you a private e-mail,I sent him.
This might get me in trouble,but Mr Colyer is a racist,and I wonder how come ,on this strict site he is allowed to spit his
venin.I was reprimanded for less than that.Also I was clearly told by the owner that this site is not a site for debates.

In total agreement with you,however compassion pushes me to share his suffering also.

Hope love and Equanimity will find a way to his heart.

This is who he is (lady Gaga) and no one but him can change that.

With compassion and loving kindness

Loong-

I hope that over time Jim will come around. His language has improved. So, maybe we are getting to him.

On one hand, it is true that each topic area is meant to be a supportive, warm environment for people in that area. So the pro-choice area is about supporting people with a pro-choice attitude. The pro-life area is equally about supporting pro-lifers. We would not allow a pro-choice person to go into the pro-life area and start challenging their views.

Our Democratic forum is about supporting Democrats, and our Republican forum is about supporting Republicans.

With that all being said, the Current Events is specifically a forum for discussing current events. So it makes sense that discussion in here examines all sides of the issue.

The same overall guidelines apply here. Language should be encouraging of an intellectual debate of issues. We should avoid any personal attacks or name calling. We can address the issues from a logical point of view, without resorting to impinging the person who is behind a given view.

Absolutely we can disagree. That is the way the world works. We can disagree while still appreciating the idea that others hold opposing opinions. There are many paths in life.

I am always happy to discuss any of these issues at more length if people have questions about them.

THis is a MUST see movie. Love him? Hate Him? Either way, this film does raise some interesting questions. Don't just rely on the newspapers, Media or anyone else- see the movie and THEN make your decision!

Dear Cindy,

First I do not rely on newspapers for my infos,I have other sources.Let us say I would write a book called about Romney's
America,would it be truer than the movie Obama's America.?

I wonder.

In a post I received at home,Mr Colyer,asked me if I was black for defending the african americans.

I am a wite french canadian,with blue eyes the color of the sky.

Love for the humanity does not go with the color of the skin.
