Most people know this, but it still seems to be accepted as fact by many people. In the 1958 film "White Wilderness," Disney threw hundreds of lemmings off a cliff to offer "proof" for the ridiculous rumor about them committing suicide.

It wasn't "hundreds" (more like a few dozen) but still....

Rehearsal, maybe.

From Disney: The Walt Disney Family Museum maintains that Simon committed the act of cruelty without the knowledge or approval of Walt Disney or anyone else at the Disney studio. Deny, deny, deny. "I knew nothing!" The other good line is, "I don't recall."

That was back before Disney was "woke."

Can't be any worse than staking a cow with its ankles slit in a river to show what piranhas can do.

I still remember being shown that “documentary” in 3rd grade back in the mid 60’s and being horrified.

As I sat in church last Sunday, I was thinking that if Jesus were here today he would be accused of being woke, How about we just say it is human decency to treat all with respect and dignity and that it is constitutional to say all men and women are equal."


Lovely service at church today at Chapel in the Hills in Wimberley, he wrote in an earlier tweet. Let your joy be in your journey, not in some distant goal. Let us each find joy in meaning and service with compassion and respect of others. It is there that happiness resides.
Merriam-Webster added the word woke to its dictionary in 2017, defining it as, Aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice). The Oxford dictionary adopted it the same year, defining it as originally: well-informed, up-to-date. Now chiefly: alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice. Stay WOKE my friend.

If Jesus were here today I doubt that He would be condoning nor endorsing abortion, euthanasia, sex change operations on children, pornography and near pornography, profanity and suggestive material in music, movies, price gouging, false advertising, political corruption etc etc---all things that a large proportion of the population endorses and applauds today.

If you were never in a situation where your wife was in need of having an abortion to save her life you are not qualified to make any judgement on the abortion issue.
You and the government don't KNOW THE PARTICULARS OF EVERYONE'S PREGNANCY. THIS IS A DECISION OUR DOCTOR, MY WIFE, AND I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE ON OUR OWN. THE LAWS IN AFFECT AT THE TIME NEARLY KILLED MY WIFE. WE KNEW FOR A MONTH THE FETUS WAS DEAD; HOWEVER, AFTER HAVING A BLOOD TEST EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH, THE DOCTORS WERE ALLOWED TO TAKE THE DEAD FETUS AT 3:00 AM ON A SUNDAY MORNING. IT WAS AT THAT TIME WE FOUND OUT WE HAD TWINS.... WE COULD HAVE SAVE ONE OF THEM... PLUS SHE WAS WITHIN HOURS OF LOSING HER LIFE. THEN THERE WAS THE FULLY EQUIPPED NURSERY TO CONTEND WITH. DON'T AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME AN ABORTION IS BECAUSE THE MOTHER DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE BIRTH! IF YOU HAD NO PROBLEMS DELIVERING A BABY, GOOD FOR YOU; HOWEVER, NOT EVERYONE IS SO LUCKY. Some times "well meaning" individuals should just mind their own business. To this day, 55 years later, 
I still have nightmares about them pusing my the 23 year old wife into the delivery room, that Sunday morning, knowing our first child was already dead, but not knowing if I have to plan my wife's funeral as well.  

An open mind comes from learning. Learning leads to more learning and thinking. Thinking leads to more knowledge. Knowledge leads to wisdom. None of these things can come from letting someone else do your thinking.
I'm sure you'll have a response to my tyraid, I always do, but I'm not interested in your opinion until you walked this path.

This is not America love it (my way) or leave it ... That's a Dictatorship. Secondly, Up until the next election we are still not a dictatorship so if you want to live in a country were some people can tell others how to live their lives ... Russia may take you in.

I don't read long emotional posts when in mostly caps but I think you will get the idea: less than 2% of all abortions are performed to save a woman's life.
What's a "tyraid"?

Good for you, you have successfully described a conservative.---but I don't think you can classify them as woke as you can lefty libs.
