Funny! I bet many of us on here also GOT what the other poster was referring to when he/she/it misspelled Google. Oh well, some of us did.:)

WOW.

Someone who disagrees with you in not a Christian? You should read some history. Most wars have been fought over who or what is a good Christian, Muslim, Jew, etc.

All of this crap because someone is selling a bathing suit to someone who feels they are male or female instead of how they were born. Neither the seller or the buyer is evil.

It seems to me that one does not need to be a lawyer to understand the points of common sense, decency, and NORMAL behavior. Christians should not need to argue the Bible with non-believers to prove a point. If those folks insist on attempting to find vulnerability in Christians by quoting misused phrases from the Bible, it means that they do not have a winning argument and have to resort to more perversion, perversion of beliefs that they themselves do not believe or understand. Christians are Tolerant when they do not condone. But, even GOD's tolerance is limited, as the example of the Great Flood proves. Of course, the non-believer does not believe in this historical fact or of the Christian DEITY.

Perversion is OK in the media until someone finally puts a stop to it.

The ACLU, United Nations, NAACP do good work. Which most Christians easily see.

You are blaming some inner city people with next to nothing for expressing their anger by burning down the stores they use most of the time. Stupid on their part. But really only has to do with how these people feel about their lives. It has nothing to do with anything else.

And most media are good people. Lawyers and law enforcement usually catch up with the bad ones.

It seems like common sense has flown out the window of late.

You forgot the "used to"...

So, it's only "inner city people"? Some would call that generalization "racist"...

Except FOX News, right?

Yes, it most certainly has... No one with "common sense" would think it's a good idea to promote one's sexuality to children...

Over simplification by me corrected.

What does that have to do with children? Gay people are all over many channels on TV and have been for years.

I have various FOX news people on my Facebook page. It varies from person-to-person. But they certainly have been in news of late with respect to lawsuits going against them.

Check out the kiddie clothing, toys and more. I do not know how parents could block their children from viewing it.

I checked the kiddie clothing. Sentiments like "be kind" "I'm proud of you always" and "it takes all kinds." In rainbow colors. There's nothing that says "Hi I'm trans and proud" or "out and proud" or "lesbian and proud" or "be gay like me" or "mommy made me this way" or any other - who knows whatever perversions are in the heads of people who have a problem with this.

There is nothing "indoctrinating" about "be kind," "I'm proud of you always," "It takes all kinds," or rainbows and pictures of different cartoon characters.

If you think there is, then that's definitely a you problem, not a kid problem. The perversion is in the perception, not in the message.

Indoctrinating? Certainly some see it in that light.

Maybe those that find the tuck swimsuit so offensive might find a sales slogan like this less indoctrinating:

"If It Floats Your Boat, Buy It and Wear It"

Target specifically sold Pride clothes designed for children... Did you bother to even look at their website?

For the umpteenth time... No one has a problem with gay people... It's when ANYONE promotes their sexuality to children... I'd have the same reaction if they were selling S&M themed clothing promoted by straight people...

And sure... Let's change the subject, once again... Now it's FOX lawsuits?

Looks like they removed the pronoun shirt with naked women (one of whom was a man) shirt from their website... I wonder why?

And where did the "Trans People Will Aways Exist" shirt go? Hmmm...

This probably is crap now on Fox. I mean about the attacks on gay pride expressed in kids t-shirts and the like. Just more spreading of hate toward some are seen as OTHER.

What's with all the FOX "hate?"
I guess some folks are intimidated by opposing views, huh?
Don't worry, FOX has changed quite a bit from conservative to moderate. They even have the dreaded liberally minded folks and hire gays. Who da thought, huh?

Question: Who decides what is news and what is a "nothingburger?" Just asking for a friend. I woulda checked with google but I couldn't spell Google, or maybe my fingers on the keyboard just wouldn't function properly in my old age.

By the way, my gay cousin also believes that these drag queens are queer....:pepper2:

So much for the "most media are good people" claim, right?

When they have no argument, they blame FOX News!

Apparently, OBB...

Queer as in "strange, odd"?

I do find it strange/odd that they think it is so important to read to toddlers and kindergarten students... Why not nursing home residents?

Fox is entertainment and not news. And probably many people at Fox do not take anything on their news station very seriously.

Wrong! Watch it once in a while. I watch it once in a while. Especially, when the MSM doesn't cover something that I consider to be interesting news. Yes, they do have some commentary, but what news station doesn't? CNN? Nope! By the way, most of the news at FOX comes from the same origin as the rest of the networks, the AP and Reuters. Not that I get much of my news from TV networks. Most of my news is from news feeds on the Internet. But, if I was going to recommend a TV network news, it would likely be FOX. I also enjoy SKY news, BBC news and a few others from time to time.
