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.

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: MennoNet and Genealogy

Another thought - Well, we DID meet, that time you came to Berlin..... That's true :) So that makes 1. Then along a different line, I also say I'm Dutch Mennonite when wanting to make a distinctive reference to the Dutch "baptism-minded" as distinct from the Swiss Brethren heritage and tr...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

Honestly, the port and buffer against NATO seem like the only legitimate claims from a secular perspective. We can argue all day over what NATO was intending but I listened to his speech on weapons and it was a fairly logical case for invasion. De-nazification? Yeah right… To be fair, Ukraine has o...
