The Salvation Army does have many scary ideas, but I think branding them a "cult" is a stretch. A bunch of fundies? No doubt, but not really a "cult" in the sense that Scientology is a cult. |

No it doesn't.Except for the alcohol part, their positions on just about everything are no different than that of the one, true and holy, universal and apostolic Roman Catholic Church. The RCC has been called many things but "as nutty as the Jehovah's Witnesses" was never one of them. |

Wikipedia says that The Salvation Army is a Protestant Christian Church.You should know by the name that it is a religious organization and if you choose to donate to it, or not donate to it, you should at least know what it is. |

Except for the alcohol part, their positions on just about everything are no different than that of the one, true and holy, universal and apostolic Roman Catholic Church.And except for gambling. Probably also divorce. Probably also birth control. And certainly the various doctrinal differences between Protestant and Catholic theology like transubstantiation. Also, the Catholic Church strongly disapproves of pornography, but I've never heard of them opposing the legality of at least soft core porn. The only place where the Catholic Church pushes to make the law agree with its position is on abortion (e.g., they don't oppose the sale of condoms). |

I had heard decades ago that some homeless refuse their services because they have to go to church and get involved in other religious activities. Their opinions aren't out of whack with many Protestant churches. |

Scary stuff.Their thrift shops are great for finding older electronics. You won't find any new 16-rpm record players or 8-track recorders that work in too many other places, and for super-cheap prices . . . never mind top-loading first-generation VCRs that are 1˝ times the size of DVR/VCRs that they sell in Mall-Wart . . . |

Read Olog's first post to get the gist. It's criticizing the salvation army for being anti-abortion and for not being pro-gay. But it's geared towards liberals so it's not ridiculous in that context. Liberals prefer that their churches be a little more tolerant and not so strict with that sin stuff. |

No, but I understand those who do view it that way. I am pro choice, but I do dislike abortion. I am also offended by pro choicers who consistently refer to the issue as strictly medical, on par with liposuction. What I do not support is forcing a woman to think the way I would want her to think. That's fascism. |

They don't see things the way inner-city Republicans like us do.You and I are inner-city Republicans. |

To a pro-lifer, you sound like an early 20th century eugenics proponent. And an awful lot like a Nazi. Nazi Germany was the first government to hype abortion as a means of controlling the size of undesirable populations (to you, that means those nasty brown people who live in the hood). Look where that lead:

No, I am comparing the pro-abortion arguments to the pro-eugenics arguments of 100 years ago. They are strikingly social-Darwinist. If the left didn't control the media, there would be significant comparisons made between pro-choicers today and eugenicists like Margaret Sanger and William Shockley back in the day, |

I just don't want first-term abortions to be a criminal offense. |

If you mean audio cassette, they're kinda rareI still see a good few of them at SA thrift stores; even high-level ones that can record on CrO2 and higher-end metal oxide tapes. (The rare one is the DAT, or digital audio tape recorder; I remember seeing them new in Radio Shack in the very early 90s, and I wonder how they held up.) |

What's funny is that ChrisR16 is the premiere "Republican" of Subchat and when he wanted to win an argument against me, he played the race card against me by bringing race into the abortion argument. So how is ChrisR16 different from all the libs who play the race card all the time? |
