The stories include a historical person named Jesus who started a new religion after he died and was seen by his followers being alive after he was dead. These followers went on to become martyrs voluntarily. I think it's pretty obviou

The diffuser will blur the image, the opposite of what you want. Higher resolution screen with upscaled input does not sacrifice clarity for blur/no SDE. Upscaled input won't have as high detail as a higher resolution input, but t

The free market is better at figuring out fairness than a central government. Supply and demand, by its nature, determines what is fair to be paid. If it wasn't fair, people wouldn't work the job. If it was more than fair, then mo

>This is not about it being "morally wrong for the secretary in a medical office to be paid less" than the physician owner. It's about the secretary not getting appropriate wages in the first place. Are you suggesting inst

Ben Carson, despite growing up in the slums to a single mother, became a world renowned neurosurgeon. Statistically, Ben Carson's success is a rarity, but there were factors in his success that were not related to his upbringing, other

As someone who fits into the top 1% of income, I find these analyses as inherently discriminatory against individuals in market positions that generate high incomes, a la Obama's "you didn't build that" statement. In oth
