Re: War in Gaza

There isn't an equivalence between "Israel" and "Hamas". But there certainly is an equivalence between "Hamas" and the current coalition party, which includes political parties that call for the extermination of Arabs and have anti-Arabism as one of their founding polit...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

It is a driven tunnel,using a boring machine. It is the ventilation structures as well the “we were not consulted “ line, in spite of meetings that have gone on for a five year period. I heard Al Sharpton is involved, so it is almost certainly a shakedown for cash. And then we see the real reasons ...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

Assumes facts not in evidence. Many people seek to adopt for the same selfish reasons as those who seek to have biological children. In addition, many single parent households are loving and safe homes. And many adoptive parents are cruel and abusive. Those are the facts. As I keep repeating over a...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

Further discussion of adoptive parents is off-topic in this thread.

If you want to talk about adoptive parents, go start a new thread.

This thread is meant for discussion as detailed in my original post about parents who choose to conceive a child. Anything else is off-topic.

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

Yes, what specific act are you proposing to make criminal. How would your new law actually read? What is your definition of "choose" Are you going to prosecute any single person who becomes pregnant? Re-read what I said. The question was "should negligent parents be punished by the l...

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? No. The only thing it could ever affect is if you want enter into a contract to do work for the city. They could use the fact you didn't pay it during contract negotiations. (...

Re: War in Gaza

Many people view the Israeli government's actions over the past few decades as also being terrorism. So we have two terrorists fighting each other, Hamas, and the IDF. That's a bad situation. Neither side is justified. I am not one of those many. I think this is a great distortion of the facts. The...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

Because you have been incoherent as to the exact act that you wish to make criminal and what kind of punishment you are contemplating. I haven't been incoherent at all. I said that I think choosing to create a child outside of wedlock is a selfish, despicable, and criminally negligent act. Is there...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

Certain Mormons request access to baptise by proxy my grandma, and my mother keeps on not granting permission. I wasn't aware that they bothered to ask permission of anyone. Yes, they do, and it's a big deal. They need to get permission from some relative, although I'm not sure exactly how the rule...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

The U.S. military doesn't have a paramilitary wing composed of Neo-Nazi militias.
