Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

In a 457 plan the money is being held in trust for you but you are legally entitled to it. This is actually a desired feature not a bug because it means the money can't be seized by creditors if you go bankrupt or something like they possibly could do with an IRA or 401(k) in some states. Ken, I do...

Re: "Traditional Pennsylvania Dutch" Foods?

I haven’t seen any demographers describe plain people as “middle America”, and in fact, most seem to think it is a people group distinct from that.

But yes, we get your overarching point to make sure we all know you’ve risen above such gauche tastes are now a sophisticated PNW urbanite.

Re: HPV and Cancer link

I found his correlating of the birth rate dropping at different points in time in different states, coinciding with car seat laws, convincing. I mean, how many other confounding factors would just happen to coincide with changes in car seat laws? In any case, if people really cared about saving live...

Re: Trump Convicted

The FEC also began to investigate the hush money payments but deadlocked in 2021 on a 2-2 partisan vote about whether or not to move forward. In other words, forum shopping to find an exclusively Democrat jurisdiction was needed to secure a conviction. Right? The actual crime here is of… Alleging a...

Re: Trump Convicted

If it weren’t politicised. Then they wouldn’t be prosecuting him in 2024… For a crime he allegedly committed in 2017… To influence the 2016 election. (He was charged with the crime of committing another crime which the statute of limitations has run out on, because apparently this was such a minor i...

Re: "Traditional Pennsylvania Dutch" Foods?

I think we should let Pennsylvania Dutch people decide what counts as Pennsylvania Dutch food, which includes more foods than ones that existed in 1750. They seem to think what you deride as “middle America” items from cookbooks are items they very much claim as their own, and since when did the den...

Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past

Ken, Our church teaches the exact scenario I described - that each person must hear from God for themselves, and that it may be God’s will for a young man to propose, but not for the young lady to say yes. About 99% of our people over the age of 25 are married. Most marriages are quite happy and las...

Re: Trump Convicted

Correction: Biden has a political problem he’s trying to fix by claiming his opponent has a criminal problem. Is there any evidence Biden had anything to do with this trial? No, I don't think the fact that the defendant made this claim is evidence of any sort. What Trump is actually doing tonight i...

Trump has a legal problem that he's going to try to fix with political means. Correction: Biden has a political problem he’s trying to fix by claiming his opponent has a criminal problem.
