Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

Just so I understand…we should go straight to the bottom of the pyramid because it is the broadest and most foundational part? It is the bottom line, right?
We should just cut straight through the fluff covered top, and get to the gold?

Re: Political office

But we should. The right thing to do would be to not deliver pornography to people's mailboxes. I am very disturbed by this point of view that it's OK to do immoral things as long as an employer is telling you to do it. So I assume you could not work as a postal carrier. And presumably not as a UPS...

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele

https://youtu.be/pa8PGsiYjUE?si=qrzZkqXtAOHWk4BQ[i][/i] El Salvador and Argentina deteriorated so incredibly out of control on violence and inflation. When the pain of continuing doing the same thing finally grow larger than the pain of change, the people elected and supported real leaders who were ...

Re: Archaeologists need to quit being so quick to…

Amateur archaeologists in England have unearthed one of the largest Roman dodecahedrons ever found, but mystery surrounds what it was actually used for. … Parker’s group does have one working theory, however. “Most likely they were some form of religious or ritual object,” he said. “The Romans were...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

The two greatest commandments, love God, love neighbor. I don’t see how killing my neighbor is completely compatible with loving my neighbor. Seems like this would rank pretty high in “main things”.

Re: Photography Sinful ?

We just interpret the text simply when it says “make no graven images”. Exceptions abound for “business use”, which I personally find questionable. I am more concerned about the graven images of Washington, Jackson, Franklin, et al , which many people worship for both business and personal use. It'...

Re: Political office

Or critical medications for shut-ins? Did I say something that made you think I would oppose this? If you deliver the mail your job is to deliver it, not read other people's mail and judge it. You may not know this, but many would also refuse to work at certain retail stores. Why? Because of the ha...

Re: Political office

Does it, in the thinking of the denizens of this august group, violate the historical convictions of Anabaptists, to aspire to and/or assume a state legislative office? And, of course, why? Clearly it does violate the historical convictions of conservative Anabaptists, as clearly evidenced by the d...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Maybe the availability of other universities nearby helps with labs etc. that Sattler then doesn’t have to supply. Which, if Sattler was out in the sticks, real estate is cheaper, but these other resources wouldn’t be there.
