CEOs are "paid too much"

and THEY file for banruptcy.

whole article YOU linked to.....he personally sold off much of his assets during the first and second bankruptcies, even though it was a business bankruptcy and not a personal one. The next two bankruptcies were inevitable because many casinos on the east coast were already in trouble when the 2000 Dot.com bubble burst which caused a trickle-down effect, especially in the entertainment and travel businesses......especially for the last one in 2009 when almost half the freaking country went into the toilet.

BUT I did read it and then I did a word find of the article

NO mention that The Donald personally sold off much of his assets during the first and second bankruptcies

He did?...He claims HE didn't go bankrupt....Why was he selling HIS PERSONAL ASSETS? To give the proceeds to the bankrupt businesses? That doesn't sound like the Donald that I watch. The one that claims to have "used the laws of the country". The "laws of this country" don't require individuals to sell personal assets to pay company bills"...THAT's why "businesses" are formed.

The next two bankruptcies were inevitable because many casinos on the east coast were already in trouble when the 2000 Dot.com bubble burst which caused a trickle-down effect, especially in the entertainment and travel businesses......especially for the last one in 2009 when almost half the freaking country went into the toilet.

So he CAN NOT predict the future, or he CAN and he's just a bad businessman?

Which one do you want with him as Pres?...a predictor OR a businessman?

4 Times Donald Trump’s Companies Declared Bankruptcy

Still, since 1991, Trump-related companies have filed for corporate bankruptcy four separate times. Filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows a corporation—which is legally distinct of its shareholders, owners, board, and C.E.O.—to stay in business while it re-structures and attempts to reduce its debt. So, while he’s been able to keep his personal finances in order, the businesses that so proudly trumpet his billion-dollar name are something of a different story. In preparation for Trump’s time on the national stage, here’s a closer look at those filings.

Next time you're at a Trump rally.....

Ask him why he won't admit it.

Why don't YOU go to a Hillary rally and ask her why she and Obama keep lying constantly to America.

Thanks for admitting it. Your other arguments would probably support Kes of Star Trek fame exposing herself to children too. No perversity in your world? Just sex however you want it, so long as you want it that way, that makes it OK, and whatever results from it, that's OK too? There's a day coming and may God bring it soon, where those who do such and those who support them in doing it are punished.

RE: Aim and Hit the Target

Aim High to hit me...I'll aim Low to hit you. You claim you're on the moral high ground, and you're aiming UP to hit me?

So I'm on HIGHER ground than you.

You took the words right out of my mouth when you said Thanks for admitting it.

IMO, gambling is not the best career choice so it's a matter of who takes responsibility for lost revenue during times when gambling is less popular than staying home for dinner. Maybe Trump could have opened a veggie bar and see how that went. At least it wouldn't have moral implications. Of course a casino going bankrupt means people lose their gambling supported jobs...jobs they may have never had anyway. Perhaps they'd feel better working in a veggie bar even at lower pay.

...there's no bible verse condemning gambling.

Oh.oh

We only needed people like Barney Frank to do that.

suggestions for proper living. There is also common sense. Look at at least two types of people that gamble. There are those who are well off and have plenty they can lose and also those who have little but hope for a miracle windfall. It's not gambling but obsession that's the problem. Anything that so occupies a person that they lose site of their personal mission is a problem. There's also the issue of proper stewardship. That with which we are gifted is to be used properly and not for our own glory. Gamblers who squander what little they have to the point that they don't take proper care of themselves or those in their charge are not making the good choices implied by either the law or God's suggestions. One suggestion is that the best way to avoid sin is to avoid the temptation of it. So, if you cannot maintain proper focus while in a casino full of the sights of money flying around and scantily clad hostesses serving drinks, you don't go there. If you're numb to those things, fine...enjoy. Then come home to your wife and tell her you were just testing your threshold for temptation before taking her there.

I object to gambling as much as anyone, don't even buy a lottery ticket. I think there's enough other than outright passage condemning it to say it's unwise to gamble. I do recall however when it came to picking someone to replace Judas in the apostleship, it was by "the casting of lots".

I believe this was simply a very old tradition used in certain cases when it was desired that man not make the choice. There were special stones used for this purpose. If God had a preference, it might be shown but I'd not say it was equal to gambling. I've heard of dice play being referred to the casting of lots and, perhaps, multiple sided stones were once used if the selection candidates were more than two. Who knows.

As for gambling, it really depends on one's intent and discipline. Social occasions where folks gather to play penny ante poker that doesn't affect their children's next meal or end in gun play isn't going to land someone in hell. Each of us will have different limits as to when gambling or other obsession becomes a problem that is hurtful to ourselves or someone else. If we want to look at biblical references for guidance, we can look to where Jesus spoke of removing offending body parts. This is a strong caution and not to be taken literally, of course. The operative word in the scripture is "if". I'd say that "if" is the point where one finds no further resistance to temptation and that point will be different in each of us. Of course those of the more "fundamental" faiths will preach to err on the side of caution...ie, "You don't even wanna' go there".

If the casting of lots was the same type of casting of lots the Romans did for the robe which Pilate had placed on Jesus?
