Here's what a famous American thinks: only registered users can see external links

Religionists and guns are intertwined: only registered users can see external links
Alot of folks are offended by certain religions, so folks may feel the need to defend their choice of religion.
Trouble is, there are others coming here that are the same types that were making christens miserable where they came from. Now there is no where for them to go. So stand and fight or give up? or?
Besides even our muslim president we had for 8 years mentioned god a couple times,they have 1 to I think.
No system is perfect,but I doubt folks in Saudi are any happier.
But mark my words, once the revisionist get thru deleting our statues,doing away with the books, they will try to erase the history in regards to how America was founded and rewrite it to include every minority and every gender and every variable they can,just to make it sound good to them and to hell with the truth.
Your inference fails.

But even if he were Muslim, so what? He's not, he would never have been allowed to be president in the US. Americans are totally possessed with fundamental Christianity of the worst kind.
As for religion (I'm Russian Orthodox Catholic) i find that the biggest cause of death to mankind is because of religion

I received a coupon booklet from Uncle Ed's Oil Change with offers that include dollars off an oil change, coolant flush (we are having a season change in the northern hemisphere) as well as other car related services. There's a book that is called Entertainment (followed by the year) that is sold as a fund raiser full of coupons. It's about 2 inches thick and has merchants that participate in some type of discount. The coupons range from dinners to movie theaters to cleaning services, etc. Then there are retailers that send coupons via the internet, offering $10.00 off of a $50.00 purchase. I received an e-mail and coupon from Kohl's regarding the sale. Gosh, from time to time there is a coupon in a local paper offering a 1 hour massage for $25.00, for new clients only. And then there are the various home improvement companies that print coupons for whatever they're hyping at the moment. You know gutters, siding, windows, doors.
So if you understood Icudoiwill2's reference to "it" as being a reference to a market, swell. I did not understand the response because the question about coupons was not limited to markets only.
What inspired this question was that I was at the grocery store the other day, I made a bottle return, for which I received a ticket (kinda coupon-ish). I shoved the darn thing in my pocket, did my shopping, went through the cashier line and FORGOT to present the bottle return slip. It wasn't until I'm on my way to my car that I see a man with a big garbage bag filled with returns that the light goes on in my mind.
There's also a pharmacy/drugstore chain (CVS) that prints coupons on their 36 to 42 inch long register receipt (I kĄd you not). What cheeses me off is when I get a $5.00 coupon printed on my receipt and I don't clip it, stash it in a meaningful spot and it expires. $5.00 off my miscellaneous sundries is more significant than 35 cents off a bottle of Paul Newman's Own Salad Dressing!
However, despite being with me in my wallet at the till the next time I go to that store I will often forget that it is there.
There are some coupons I do check before going to the supermarket for expiry dates and validty though, as another of my pet hates are customers who just hand over to the cashier a bundle of coupons for the cashier to check. They have no idea if any of the coupons are in date or indeed relevant.
As I said, I clip coupons but I don't always plan my shopping trip and 1) might not have the purse with the coupons or 2) just forget to whip them out.
Most coupons I use are at the grocery store, anyway. If there is a coupon for things I need at Bed Bath and Beyond I will us it!
I always ask if there is a senior discount at restaurants or other places too!
I guess I'm not that "manly".
And I was able to use my Bed Bath and Beyond coupon at a store called Buy Buy B@by. It's great not paying full price!
I especially use coupons at grocery stores when I can.

Beware of those free blankets!
It appears although some of us are thought to be terriable people,the Europeans may have taught us some of their bad habits.
Quoted from the page. "The Europeans wanted land, gold, silver, coal (in the future), and slave labor."
And how old a history book is accurate?
Questions that could be ask of any issue that happened more than a week ago if you think about it.
How will the Las vegas tragedy be written about to be read latter,say 100 years from now? Will it be in a conservative tone noting the shooter was a dope head or will it be written that a group of terrible guns enslaved a poor man and forced him to operate them?
I know that sounds silly but just trying to get a point across. Where do you find accurate history on any topic when there are opposing veiws? If you want to search out the TRUTH,where would you look?
It's not official everywhere, but it's a hell of a lot better that the joke of a holiday marked on my calendar for today.
Are you aware that Columbus did NOT discover America? And that upon landing here, he enslaved, raped, and tortured thousands of Natives? Acknowledging Columbus Day is no more than celebrating genocide.

I WAS aware of all that, and totally agree with you on the celebrating of genocide issue.
Unfortunately, here in 'Merika, we are all about the genocide. It's right up there with baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie...
As a woman of Native American descent, I detest the fact that Columbus day is a federal holiday.
After getting this information my sĄster started digging deeper on genealogy websites and found that it traces back to our great-great-great-great-great grandmother on our fathers side.
It makes ME wonder if having Cree DNA would have afforded us (me and my sisters) the opportunity to go to college free?
Lots of Natives refused to sign the Dawes Rolls, though, so I don't necessarily agree with the methods of verifying native blo.od.

Native Americans.
As a WASP as you might expect I see these people as figures from history like Napolean or Henry Ford. They may not have been nice people, maybe even evil but that was then. These statues etc are about history not celebrating the evil done. I really feel very sad that in some states of the US you feel the need to remove statures and monuments to important figures in your history.
I do accept that as I am not a descendant of an oppressed, now or historically, minority that it is so easy for me to take this position. In a different situation I may feel differently.
Yes, Washington and Jefferson owned slaves. Many people at the time did. I don't believe, however, that there are any statues of either man that went up to celebrate their roles as "owners" of other people. Those monuments were erected to honor other accomplishments not relating to slavery.
Confederate statues,on the other hand, pretty much exist to honor men who fought for the continuation of slavery. (That "state's rights" nonsense is just "spin" perpetuated in modern times to make it seem like the Civil War wasn't about slavery. Keep in mind that the biggest right the South was fighting for was the right to own other people.)
