MennoNet indeed does look that way if one simply ignores the Politics group, which is, well, where political discussion happens. A forum full of conservative Anabaptists is not a good place to go to find (a) denouncements of your political enemies, and (b) endorsements of your political allies. It d...

As far as I know, one of the things they are trying to do in Kensington is provide services for people who aren't drug addicts or criminals, but are just poor people who are stuck living there, who face a rather hard life.

Boot, Do you think "facts" and arguments can exist in a disconnected fashion? I think that arguments about facts usually come from motives of someone who actually has some other agenda. I think it's good to have everyone's motives laid out on the table and say why they are really arguing f...

That is obviously what the trials are for and why we need to hold them. Or do you think that Trump is uniquely above the law? If these “felonies” were so serious perhaps they should have been prosecuted before 2016. So like the movie Minority Report. Use a time machine to see into the future and th...
