Totally agreed, and the lady Lupe ouer whatever he said. Sadly my respect for him just went way down.
Mary the mother of Jesus is a physically dead human, her spirit is in heaven with Jesus. But she can't do anything for you.
This reminds me years ago I frequented a keto diet subreddit. One day there was a post saying something about how can we eat so much meat and save the planet. I responded with, we can't save the planet, and proceeded to quote all the scripture verses about the world getting destroyed by fire in the end . Within hours I had deep negative points. I think that's the last time I was on Reddit.
My life situation is probably a lot different from yours. All kids grown up and independent. My wife left me and we sold our townhouse back in February. So it's just me, myself and I in a rental condo. No plans to buy again.
I understand you don't want to make an expensive mistake, but things always change, there are no perfect solutions.
But I would say, I don't think buying a house is ever a bad idea. I think buying a condo is risky, if anything happens to the building and they have to increase the fees, that directly impacts the value of your property.
Read what you wrote: fought for the normalization of freaks, geeks and misfits & stood up for counter cultures for decades
So he was used to fight for and normalize the freak show we have to deal with every day now. Of course he was cast as an outsider, and now that mission is accomplished he is the hero.
He was always a scumbag.
Only you can answer that question, there are just too many factors to consider.
Where do you live, would be a big consideration. Are you in an overheated market or in "fly over" country? What's your income? What are your family needs? How important is it to you to own vs buy? As others have mentioned, what is the cost of renting vs buying where you are? Consider hidden costs like insurance, taxes, HOA and condo fees, home maintenance. Would you enjoy taking care of your home? Honestly, when I was a home owner, I was always stressed about what is going to be the next thing to go wrong that will cost me a bunch of money.
I don't know if your post is intended to show this in positive light or not. But you cannot support this while condemning blm riots. It may be the other side of the aisle, but it is still not the right way to go about things.
No, justice is not evil. I guess the evil I'm thinking of is to have hatred for the people involved and wishing bad things for them. By Jesus' instructions we should be praying for them to repent and that isn't easy to do.
