Re: Sattler College Turmoil
I would add that there is a certain kind of personality from Baltimore and York, PA which may come across a bit acerbic, but is indeed normal for those regions. (Many cities have a similar distinct local/regional culture.) It is a mistake to assume city people are bad, aggressive, mean people just b...

Re: A letter I sent my senators, please consider similar.
As we all know, tobacco companies marketed to minors and took measures to ensure they could buy or get cigarettes right up until the MSAs.
Both parents and society at large are responsible for children. I’m not even sure how this is controversial.

Re: A letter I sent my senators, please consider similar.
“Personal responsibility” and “parents” were the excuse the tobacco industry used for years to market and sell harmful, addictive products to children for years. I’m quite suspicious of anyone who thinks they need to push responsibility for mass phenomena backed by billions of dollars onto relativel...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil
As you know, I've been on this forum for many years, mostly as a lurker. I don't make public personal rebukes lightly, and this one is based on patterns I've observed for a very long time. I trust readers to draw their own conclusions, as you have, about whether the rebuke is warranted and about wh...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil
I didn't rebuke JM for raising concerns with FOTW or Sattler, and neither of us are members of either institution, so that's a red herring at the moment.

Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit
Do you have any evidence the “criminal record” is having a cellphone at school or being arrested for jaywalking? If those offences happened before 18 they would be juvenile records anyway and not show up on a criminal background check. You keep saying “kids”. Now, if we’re talking about adults… adul...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil
That’s quite an attack, jahertz. I see a distinct lack of Christian charity in this thread. I have met and spent plenty of time with both JM and jahertz, sat around a bonfire and chatted, spent the night at their house, talked on the phone for hours, and so on. I think it is perfectly reasonable to ...

Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit
And what is wrong with that? Take my hypothetical example of a minimum speed regulation that inadvertently excludes the Amish from our public roads. There was no intent to discriminate against the Amish. In fact, no one was even thinking about them when the regulation was written. Yet such a regula...

Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit
Yes, it is extremely well documented that poor Black kids are frequently subject to criminalization for activities that are not criminalized for kids whose are White and middle class. Everything from trivial issues of school discipline to things like walking on the street, driving with a broken tai...
