Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

Note that I never said I think red light cameras or speed cameras are always bad. I said that the way they're being done in America, where it's just a cash grab for a private company that does nothing to improve road safety - and often has the opposite effect - is quite bad. If we had an Australian ...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

Let's repeat myself: I don't think language policy is a good justification for starting a war. Even though the treatment of Russian speakers in Ukraine was a bit ridiculous - this is something I have personally heard from both Ukrainians and Russian-speaking Ukrainians myself (back before the invasi...

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

Thanks for your sharing your political propaganda. Well, of all the convicted criminals in Texas do YOU think that Daniel Perry was most deserving of a pardon? Do you think he was wrongly convicted? Do you think he has shown remorse? It's obviously a political statement. Given that left-wing govern...

Re: Thinking about shaving my head... sort of...

For whatever reason, more conservative groups (intermediate-conservative and beyond) seem to prefer that men not have shaved heads. In moderate-conservative and up groups, this seems to be more acceptable. As a bit of an aside, scratching my bald head, certain use of words puzzles me. When I read w...

Re: Modern day Anabaptist perception towards postcards, handwritten letters, snail mail, etc?

"Stamp it up" was some MLM that used to be popular but doesn't seem to be catching on with the younger generation. When people want fancy wedding invitations now they pay to get it done online, it seems. So that was an actual MLM? I couldn't remember. I know my wife was invited to those p...

Re: War in Gaza

Hamas is about 20-25k people. Gaza's population is 590k.

For comparison, Israel's armed forces are about 635k and their population is over 9 million. Israel has almost twice as many fighters per civilian compared to Gaza.

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

Ken, I'll repeat myself: I don't think language policy is a good justification for starting a war. I really do wonder why you've made it your personal mission to justify anything that the Ukrainian government has ever done as good whilst simultaneously anything the Russian government has ever done i...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

This thread is about single parent families. No, it isn't. I made a reference to people who intentionally choose to fornicate and thus create a child outside of a loving marriage. You keep trying to muddy the waters by talking about all kinds of other irrelevant situations like an adoptive or foste...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

Can't hardly imagine I'd have anything much in common ,with Josh's type of thinking ... So do you and Josh think that people should be held accountable for acts of gross negligence or not? Do you think we live in a society? Or do you think people should be free to do whatever they want regardless o...
