Quoted from Norseman
2 red crosses to my question not sure why. Do people red cross you if they don't like the question. Could be they don't like or know the answer. Still no ideas though why people with free choice and such strong feelings played 3 competitive games without displaying that support and strength of feeling to BLM. it's just a question folks



What I don't understand is why people look to see if they have been 'red crossed'.  What does it matter, will you get kicked off the Fishy, I doubt it.  I have no idea how many red crosses I have and could care less!

Good on you. Like in life not everyone will like or agree with you. Look at Jesus for one back in  the day. Hence got killed for views that went against the popular ideology of his day.

The ultimate red cross  eh?

Which more and more are doing Bobby inadvertently or consciously  .Hence society is changing now for the better .Hence black lives matter movement, more acceptance for gay people etc etc. Things will only move in a better direction .Hence the power for good as noted is something which in the long run will always overcome the bad.

This is something Jesus stood for .Trying to create a better society for all be it the oppressed the marginalised, poor  etc etc.

I would prefer to view him as a socialist.

Bearing in mind their relative dates of birth I would have thought it was more appropriate to call Marx and Robin Hood Christians.
