This is not a religious forum, buddy. What, you wanna discuss religion now?
Well, nonsense seems to be your preferred topic of discussion
"If the truth was that Christ doesnt exist, then I would stop believing in truth and continue believing in Christ."

But you dont have to believe in facts.
Does religion seem fact based to you?
No. I gave you facts about woke movement supporting children being castrated.
You lie. You are a Christian liar. Children are not being castrated. You gave bogus numbers of surgeries for adults, not children. Then you tried to say hormone therapy for 16 year olds is castration of children. You lie. If there was a God he would call you a liar and turn his back on you.

Taxpayer money going into a media corporation should be a concern for all.
No, taxpayers are the ones benefiting from PBS. The federal government subsidizes the PBS budget so they can provide programming to poor rural areas with shows like Sesame Street and TheNewsHour. Just like they subsidize poor rural areas for cable TV, internet connections, 911 emergency calls, scheduled air service, crop insurance and other help they need because they are in parts of the country where it doesn’t pay to do business.

Second, your source is about direct federal government funding and not all public funding.
So now you’re concerned about state and local money too? That doesn’t sound like Big Government controlling the media.
This is what your source says:
“On average, less than 1% of NPR's annual operating budget comes in the form of grants from CPB and federal agencies and departments”
Which is exactly what I wrote in the first post so thank you for confirming this fact.
If you are going to quote something g so put of context at least bluff your way through it.
This must be another typo but what is “so put (out) of context? 1% of their funding comes from the big bad federal government. Maybe 4% comes directly and indirectly from state and local government. I think you and Elon Musk both have your heads up your ass. Try that.

I founs that in the fiscal year 2020,
You founs? Where did you founs?
The remaining 18% came from other sources, including individual donations and government grants. So to say it is 1% is fake news.
That’s a lie. The government grants are 1% of there $300 million operating budget, or 3 million dollars.

The idiot Elon Musk has no idea what he is talking about when he chose to label NPR as “state-affiliated media” and then changed to “government-funded media”. In a BBC interview posted online Wednesday, Musk suggested he may further change the label to "publicly funded."
He is clueless and reckless.
The truth is NPR is a private, nonprofit company with editorial independence. It receives less than 1 percent of its $300 million annual budget from the federally funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

According to the Giffords Law Center, Federal law prohibits the possession of newly manufactured machine guns, but permits the transfer of machine guns lawfully owned prior to May 19, 1986, if the transfer is approved by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives. As a result, a substantial number of machine guns are still in circulation. As of 2020, the national registry of machine guns contained registrations for 726,951 machine guns.1
Less than a million compared to over 20 million semiautomatic assault rifles and required registrations with the ATF may explain why these weapons are not used in crimes like mass shootings.
Unregistered machine guns are contraband, and there is no way to register a previously unregistered machine gun.
These two federal laws, NFA and FOPA, had the effect of ending the use of automatic weapons in crimes in this country.

I noticed someone claiming that automatic weapons are banned in the United States of America.
They are banned, at least new ones since 1986. It is possible for someone with a stringently controlled collectors license to acquire one built prior to 1986 and legally owned but it is HIGHLY REGULATED.
Yes people can convert a semiautomatic to automatic but they are breaking the law. This doesn’t mean there isn’t a ban on automatic weapons.
A sizeable amount are not registered,

So we ban the woke culture, and restore traditional values which are: marriage and functional families.
Unbelievable. Half of all marriages end in divorce. Trump was divorced twice and cheated on his wives repeatedly. You morons vote for him and think he is the greatest President in history. The real problem in this country is ignorance. And Republicans are proud of their ignorance.

Yes, they can ignore the ban. People ignore laws all the time, same thing applies.
So again, why haven’t criminals ignored the ban on automatic weapons? Why don’t we see them used in crimes?

@Bella3sp
Guns can even be banned but they'll find ways to illegally get them.Your arguing only one type of gun. If we were to ban all guns your example would only prove to be irrelevant and "nonsense".
You aren’t making sense.
The government banned automatic weapons. You don’t see automatic weapons used in crimes anymore. In other words, the criminals didn’t/couldn’t just ignore the ban and go get automatic weapons. The same result could happen for semiautomatic assault rifles if we banned those.

A Molotov cocktail hurled at a Cairo restaurant killed 16 people and wounded six on Friday, Egyptian security officials have said."
It appears that most of the casualties were from smoke inhalation and the inability to escape a basement with improper fire exits.
So if an arsonist burned down an apartment building killing 50 people, would that make fire a more deadly weapon than assault rifles?

The 10th amendment specifically says states can impose bans but the federal govt can not.
That’s nonsense. The words impose bans is not even in the 10th amendment.
Besides, the preamble to the Constitution clearly states that the role of the Federal government is to “promote the general welfare” and “ensure domestic tranquillity”

Where does it say it can
I already told you, SCJ Scalia said so
No where is it mentioned in the constitution that the federal govt can arbitrary ban any gun it thinks is scary
The government already did that when it banned automatic weapons.
Where does it say in the constitution that the people have a right to clean air and water?
Where does it say that trans children can’t play on the team of their chosen identity?

A domestic terrorist vehicle-ramming attack occurred on April 23, 2018, when a rented van was driven along Yonge Street through the North York City Centre business district in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The driver, 25-year-old Alek Minassian, targeted pedestrians, killing 11 and injuring 15, some critically.[4][5] The incident is the deadliest vehicle-ramming attack in Canadian history
No shit Sherlock. There was one in France too. That doesn’t make vehicles more dangerous than assault rifles.
Besides, we have a need for vehicles in a modern society, there is no need for assault rifles.

Many militaries are using molotov cocktails. So would you say that we should ban glass bottles and highly flammable liquids to prevent people from making molotov cocktails?

Louisiana, even before becoming a red state, had a surprisingly high murder rate. It decreased under republicans. So we could say that republicans helped Louisiana, where democrats have failed to.

When a 4 year old takes the drug that has "suicidal thoughts" as a side effect, and that continues for years, will he be more or less suicidal later in life when he is 10, 14 or 18 years old?

Are you saying that poverty contributes to murder rates?

I didnt say car bombs. I said cars or bombs.
YA, bombs, any king of bomb requires expertise and are difficult to produce
Therefore, USA, having the most poverty among developed economies, would also have most murder?
So you object to the term “developed economies” and use the term without reservation in the same post. Brilliant.

Plus, violent crime isnt just murder. It also includes rape. Murder rate is the same. The rape rate has increased significantly.
Violent crime did not decrease across the board in 2018, however, and one category is in the midst of a slow but persistent six-year upward swing: rape. For the 2013 statistics the FBI changed its outdated parameters of rape—then defined as the forcible “carnal knowledge of a female”—to a more modern definition structured around consent, rather than force. Ever since, the rate has been on a steady surge, up more than 18 percent in that period
It’s not yet clear why rapes have risen so swiftly. It’s a notoriously underreported crime and many have theorized that the changing social atmosphere, including the #metoo movement and increased awareness around campus rape, may be prompting survivors to report at a higher rate.

The birth rates are down. One reason for that is that having children is expensive.
I’m pretty sure the cost of food is pretty low on the list of considerations when Americans are making the decision to start a family or not. Maybe it’s a Korean thing but not in America. I read today that South Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. Why do you suppose that is?

Also, the USA is a country where psychiatric drugs are given to children as young as 4 year old. Those psychiatric drugs have "suicidal thoughts" as side effect
That’s why these drugs are administered under the care of a physician.
