Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine
What isn't true? 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 b...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy
This past week, I've started digging into my genealogy for the first time. I'm using FamilySearch.org and its sub-site RelativeFinder.org Wife: has anyone else read the privacy policy or the terms of service on family search? It’s kind of an odd seeming website and makes me wonder what the Mormons ...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
So we've narrowed it all the way down to single adults who get pregnant? We aren't worried about teen pregnancies or any other cause of single parent households. Just single adults who choose to get pregnant? I narrowed the scope so that you would stop muddying the waters. Ken, I feel like you argu...

Re: "Give to whomever asks you": voluntary speeding fines
So even if the fine is technically voluntary does the ticket go on your driving record or become any kind of public record? Say if someone runs up 50 violations at a particular location is that information that your insurance company might obtain? Or a curious reporter who puts in a FOIA request for...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
It is not hard at all for me to admit that single parent families are less than ideal. And that likewise, teen pregnancies are a bad thing as is sex between children (or between children and adults). And I happy support a wide variety of policies that would tend to reduce all of those things. Becau...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
So you believe it is the specific circumstances of conception that happened years earlier that uniquely harms children and not the fact that they are being raised in single parent families? I didn't say that, either. What I said was that choosing to conceive a child out of wedlock is a very selfish...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
The actual objective I have in mind is to talk about how parents could stop hurting their children by doing negligent things to them. So you believe it is the specific circumstances of conception that happened years earlier that uniquely harms children and not the fact that they are being raised in...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
Ken, it's possible to say that something is evil, bad, or negligent without me proposing model legislation and a regulatory regime. It seems to me that almost every conversation I have with you about a moral issue devolves into you wanting to talk about government policy. I don't think government p...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
Still, "should they be" is a different question from "how should they be." The two questions go hand in hand. One can't answer the first question in the affirmative without answering the second one. The question isn't "is out-of-wedlock birth immoral or a sin?" No is i...
