Re: War in Gaza

Jews do not read Jesus teaching. They did not receive Him as the Messiah therefore they are still Old Testament, believe they are still His "elect" chosen. They will defend themselves because they follow the Old Testament and not the New. They won't look at this gs through New Testament l...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

That Russia invaded because Ukraine was persecuting Russian speakers. They overwhelmingly elected one. It's not like anybody suggested that Ukraine was persecuting Russian speakers, let alone arguing that that was the reason Russia invaded. That was, in fact, the exact claim made by the old reddit ...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

What I said was that if you drive negligently and cause a crash your chance of being charged go WAY WAY up. This is the case with speeding, drunk driving, texting, etc. If you were speeding, drunk driving, texting on your phone and cause and accident and the police can prove it I would suggest you ...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

Your claim that the people who are ticketed for red light violations and speeding violations are generally those who have caused an accident is false. Now, what do you think has the most effect overall on reducing traffic speeds - the tickets that are given to speeders after they have caused an acc...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

How much benefit is there in punishing negligence based on whether or not someone is actually injured? So that you and I might both do the exact same thing, but only one of us gets to go to prison based the random chance of which of us managed to hurt someone by that action? That is the reality we ...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

I feel like if you refuse to shovel and salt the sidewalk in front of the house, and your neighbor slips, falls, and breaks his leg, there might be more reason for a fine as compared with if you yourself slip and fall and break your own leg. Also, there are situations where parents neglect their ch...

Re: Is it wrong to use nuclear bombs against civilians?

Russian historians like to mark the start of their WW2 with the German invasion in June 1941. But in truth it started in September 1939 when they cooperatively invaded and partitioned Poland together with Germany. Why pick that as the start of the WW2 rather than also include the actions of the sur...
