Re: Prigozhin Attempts to Take Charge

The short-term consequences of the Wagner Uprising might be helpful to Ukraine in that it will weaken Putin and distract his resources away from the war. Putin's unprovoked war against its neighbor is proving very costly indeed - the law of unintended consequences coming home to roost. In the long r...

Re: If Trump deliberately hid classified documents.

Trump is a man who has lived his life as one above the law. Is it any wonder that this pattern is catching up to him? The Republican brand is suffering under the weight of Trump's lack of integrity (even relative to DC's already low standards)...they would do well to find a way to cut ties with Trum...

Re: ChatGPT Summarizes the Tenets of Anabaptism

I think Josh is onto something in his observation that advocacy for the principle of Religious Freedom for all is likely a ChatGPT overreach. As a persecuted people, Anabaptists wish for religious freedom, we have sought out places with religious liberty, and we (non-coercively) advocate for our ri...

Re: ChatGPT Summarizes the Tenets of Anabaptism

This one snuck in there: Religious Freedom: Anabaptists have historically championed the idea of religious freedom for all, advocating for the right of individuals to freely practice their faith without persecution. I don’t think Anabaptists have been known to be a people fighting for the fight of ...

ChatGPT Summarizes the Tenets of Anabaptism

I asked ChatGPT to summarize the tenets of Anabaptism. Here is its response - not bad I would say! Anabaptism is a Christian movement that emerged during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century.

Re: 200 Mass shootings in 127 Days

Personally, I think the problem is unstable people with easy access to too many guns. The question is "why the sudden increase in personal instability? I'll suggest a few things... -Easy access to news perspectives and opinions without those pundits needing to give account for the ideas they f...

Re: 200 Mass shootings in 127 Days

It’s telling that some of you are focused on “shootings” yet remain strangely silent about the other mass killing this week, that is, one with an SUV that killed half a dozen people. Or the lunatic running around Chicago right now beating strangers (including a young mother with a baby) with a base...
