Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
Is there a reason that a train tunnel that goes UNDER people's communities is a problem? I would think it kind of depends on how it is constructed. If it is a shallow "cut and cover" type of tunnel then we are talking about perhaps half a decade of severe disruption of a community and lot...

Re: Is it wrong to use nuclear bombs against civilians?
Why pick that as the start of the WW2 rather than also include the actions of the surrounding nations after WW1 including the land grabs and economic policies that fomented the economic difficulty and unrest in Germany? There has never been a single moment in human history when there were no groups...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine
Honestly, the port and buffer against NATO seem like the only legitimate claims from a secular perspective. We can argue all day over what NATO was intending but I listened to his speech on weapons and it was a fairly logical case for invasion. De-nazification? Yeah right… To be fair, Ukraine has o...

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...
