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...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy
Genetic records are something different. If you do something like 23&Me you should probably be aware of how your unique genetic records are going to be used. You should also be aware how any of your relatives who signed up for 23&Me will have their unique genetic record used, which can easi...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
So we've narrowed it all the way down to single adults who get pregnant? We aren't worried about teen pregnancies or any other cause of single parent households. Just single adults who choose to get pregnant? I narrowed the scope so that you would stop muddying the waters. Ken, I feel like you argu...

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. Neither side is justified.

Re: "Give to whomever asks you": voluntary speeding fines
Wife: Could you just email them to say that one is broken? you could even volunteer to pay for it to get fixed if you’re super motivated. Email the city of Cleveland to tell them their speed camera that gives fake citations is broken? :lol: surely they have some sort of contact number or email or s...

Re: "Give to whomever asks you": voluntary speeding fines
I think it’s a good idea to pay these. Especially if the amount they are asking for isn’t egregiously out of sync with the crime. For example, if they asked for ten thousand dollars, and you don’t have it, it is in no way whatsoever bad to just ignore the request. It piqued my interest, particularl...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy
Russian Mennonites (or people married to one) tend to like to store their info in "Grandma Online". This is a site that is specifically about people from Dutch Mennonite heritage. So also the Mennonite History and Genealogy FaceBook group, of which I am a member. I'm sure I have a number ...

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. I see more and more young Amish women creating all of their own invitations, name car...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
It is not hard at all for me to admit that single parent families are less than ideal. And that likewise, teen pregnancies are a bad thing as is sex between children (or between children and adults). And I happy support a wide variety of policies that would tend to reduce all of those things. Becau...
