Re: Church Government Models
It should be noted that different personality types, different cultures, people from different backgrounds, etc. may indeed prefer differing governance models. Our church in Nigeria seems to prefer a more authoritarian way of doing things than is the norm in our church. The membership and leaders th...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged
I would expect, The parents will get some well deserved jail time ,less then a year, so they can serve it in the local county jail, not for rehab, but for punishment Your desire for vengeance is disturbing. Why do they need punished more? In my opinion prison should be for dangerous people who have...

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. (Current data in the 2020s is even higher than the 2016 data below.) https://cms.childtrends.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Nonmarital-births-figure-3-2...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged
Words have meanings. How exactly were the SAR team negligent? Well, one of them died in this apparently dangerous waterfall, and we just got done hearing a lecture about how if your child dies in this waterfall it's obviously your fault. Don't see how the SAR team is fundamentally different. (I'm n...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
Single parenthood outside of wedlock is a major epidemic. In some demographics it is as high as 80%. Married people are not the problem. Divorced people are most certainly part of the problem. By your own logic they should be prosecuted for negligence. As I said, in key demographics, the percent of...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
Well, a free-for-all open-carry environment will produce these kinds of things... Arbitrary, politically motivated pardon's aren't going to help an already problematic scenario, but many in the USA seem to want this kind of random picking/choosing based on loyalties and other rules of the jungle, r...

Re: Justice
If you're careful (like me) to make sure that nobody who knows you wants to kill you, then the main way someone like me will get murdered is by a stranger. So despite Ken claiming it's "exceedingly rare", it's the biggest risk I face.

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, carjack...
