Re: War in Gaza
From the very beginning you were more critical of Israel than Hamas. I used to work with Israelis and heard their perspective on what they thought of Netanyahu including his role in creating and sustaining Hamas. I think their viewpoints are valid. Many of them were very upset last year when Netany...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
Looks to me like he was actually trying use his liquor millions to buy himself a Senate seat and the voters weren't impressed. He dropped $61 million of his own money into the race: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/05/09/maryland-senate-primary-trone-money/ As opposed to the donors buyi...

Re: War in Gaza
Hamas is to blame. They embedded themselves among the civilians, they are to blame and there are many lies being told as well. Hamas started this and purposely put people in harms way. Blame Hamas. Israel is not a terrorist organization. Israel has been bulldozing Palestinian homes since before Ham...

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. What are the acts of "terrorism" Israel is being accused of last coupl...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
A cash shakedown for a bored tunnel seems a bit ridiculous. I mean, technically I do own the mineral rights beneath me... but if they build a railroad tunnel underneath my property, I have a difficult time seeing how I'm being harmed. As far as exhaust goes, it can't be much different than the exhau...

Re: Church Government Models
Is there a name for governments that require leaders to have a certain level of moral character such as is listed for elders and deacons in the Bible? :lol: In practical terms, most democratic governments don't put requirements on their highest offices of the land due to the problem that... someone...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy
When talking with people who use the English word 'Dutch' to refer to what in the language itself they call 'Datsch', I say 'Holland Dutch, not PA Dutch'. But THEY are the ones who are using the 'wrong' word - that's not my fault, and I don't mind 'educating people', if they want to listen. As an A...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
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. You claimed that people who choose to conceive a child out of wedlock are criminally negligent due to the harm that befalls children who are raised in single...

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 ...
