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: 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 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...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

I'll believe what Ukrainians and Russian-speaking Ukrainians have told me face-to-face over what Ken's opinions posted here are. I have both Russian and Ukrainian-speaking refugee students in my classes right now. I'm sure they would be happy to set you straight when it comes to the actions of Russ...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

What isn't true? That Russia invaded because Ukraine was persecuting Russian speakers. They overwhelmingly elected one. So you don't think what was written here is true? www.reddit.com/r/AskARussian/comments/tevi3b/comment/i0sp0o7/ The claim in the title of the reddit link is "not allowing Rus...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

I just learned that my wife and I are seventh cousins. I'm supposedly a descendent of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I of Habsburg who dealt ruthlessly with my spiritual forbearers. But after researching it more for a couple hours, there is really no good proof of this currently. He is supposed, by s...
