Re: Clarence Yoder, the Buffalo Challenger...

Including the dog incident in her book was a rookie political mistake. The animal rights lobbies are powerful. Gloating about shooting a dog while angry is only a "rookie political mistake" in the sense that it fails to conceal the flawed character of the author. I certainly wouldn't want...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

Second, the idea that there were Confederate units full of Black solders is one of the oldest and shoddiest of historical myths. Actual southern historians have long dispensed with such nonsense. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/black-confederates-truth-and-legend or https://uncpress.org...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists

Who has access to what on the internet. Trying to filter and moderate this would be like trying to herd cats. For myself if I were running something like that I could probably salve my conscience sufficiently by implementing a commercially available filter with generous settings - just to filter ou...

Re: Clarence Yoder, the Buffalo Challenger...

It looks like alcohol may have played a role in this incident but there is plenty of video evidence on YouTube that modern people have foolish ideas about wildlife. I once was traveling with a friend from Hong Kong and we had to slow for a herd of deer. I had to lock the door to keep him from getti...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists

There is no way I could administrate something like that. I can see that becoming its own flavor of church politics. Basically "pay to play" comes to mind. How? What do church politics have to do with it? Who has access to what on the internet. Trying to filter and moderate this would be ...

Re: War in Gaza

Hamas told the AP that they would resist any foreign military that assists in setting up a temporary pier to facilitate shipping aid into the country. Why does Hamas oppose the pier so much that they will launch rockets at its construction workers? When the name of your game is terror, destruction,...

Re: Clarence Yoder, the Buffalo Challenger...

(AP) IN OTHER NEWS, YODER'S YOUNGER BROTHER, JEREMY, RAISES EYEBROWS BY POKING THE DINOSAURS ON A POPULAR MENNONITE WEB FORUM. At least his excuse was that he was drunk. His younger brother Jeremy is stone cold sober when he pokes the dinosaurs here. Quite the family. Older brother is drunk, younge...

According to news reports, Mr. Yoder approached the bison too closely (within 25 yards) and kicked it in the leg.
