Bummer. You have me beat. I'm only a danger to the morals of our prisoners. I'll have to try harder so that I can be like you.

The literal translation is: "the thing speaks for itself".

I suspect most here can and will understand that VERY clearly.

But, please do, continue.

I don't. I have been thinking a lot about this thread over the last couple of day.
A couple of posters just thrive on throwing b.s. on the campfire.
One is particular i suspect needs psycological help maybe both, but i know they thrive on stirring the pot.

I was talking to a friend of mine today that made a comment that is night and day from one of the posters comments.
My friend has the idea most people are basically good.
The poster here feels that most people are basically the other way, especially politicians.
You can see the contrast. I think twisted works for me.
in my opinion i think i understand the need to work in prisons. He feels at home with his fellows.

Ron , the question of whether people are basically good or basically bad is the divide between secular humanists and christians .

Logically , the argument that people are basically good belongs to the liberal faction in politics .

C. S. Lewis, in the opening paragraphs of Mere Christianity, says essentially that humans are basically evil, but that we tend to expect good from other humans, and be disappointed and angered when we don't get it.

Who cares what CS Lewis said? Go directly to the source.

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" Romans 3:10.

"No one is good--except God alone." From Luke 18:19

It must really suck to be you Barak.

Oppressed by a Gov't you despise, subject to laws you feel are immoral and over the top, and surrounded by people you feel are basically evil.

What a crappy way to live!

People are by nature prone to corruption. This is central both to the Founders' approach to designing government and to Christian theology.

What CS Lewis was pointing out and Barack was alluding to , Cole ,was the absurdity of being a christian [ the very term means we are lost and need a saviour] and being shocked when people mis-treat us .

Barack knows the bible about as well as anyone around this 'fire .
