Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
I wasn't going to bring up race since it's not relevant to the discussion, but since that door is opened, here are some of the relevant statistics. I think you opened that door when you used euphemisms like "key demographic." Would it make you feel better if the key demographic was white ...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
As a general rule, if you don't have left-wing politics, you'd better fear for your life if you are in a blue city (like Austin) and you find yourself stuck in a violent protest. Democratic and left-wing prosecutors have made it very clear they won't prosecute crimes like fleeing the police, carjac...

Re: Justice
Moving away from the criminal aspect of justice. If I get divorced, end up paying alimony and child support, start gambling, then lose my house because I can’t make the payments anymore - is that justice or injustice? Is there any difference from my point of view, or the banks point of view? It is ...

Re: Church Government Models
I don't know which model would describe conservative Mennonites. In some ways, since the leaders are chosen from among the church membership, they are representative, but not really, because once ordained, there is no further formal mechanism for the membership to inform the leadership. Because lea...

Re: Another Barge/Bridge Collision
[l Might as well bring the Mormans into this mess. “The Lord told the brother of Jared to build barges to take his people to the promised land.” -Ether 2:16 Was the promised land the lighthouse? They had no need of lighthouses to keep them off the rocks. In fact they loaded the rocks onto the barge...

Re: Justice
I heard yesterday about a guy I met years ago, a friend of friends, who was now a tow truck driver. He towed a car with a flat tire; the owner came in to pick it up, and argued about the $50 towing fee. When he wouldn't hand over the keys without being paid, the guy pulled a gun and shot him point ...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
A recent topic on MN was whether or not negligent parents should be punished. One of the worst acts of negligence any parent can do is decide to have a child out of wedlock; it has been proven over and over how much worse the outcomes are. Choosing to be a single mother is a very poor choice. If ne...
