My understanding is that most Communistic regimes were explicitly Atheist. I'm not a historian so I may not have my facts completely correct, but my understanding is that: The Soviet Union more or less outlawed religion. China is offi

I agree that we shouldn't ban something just because we dislike/disrespect it; instead I meant that, unfortunately, many people (on both sides) don't see things that way. Sorry if that's not what it sounded like I was s

I'd argue that fundamental human rights means rights that exist inherently regardless of whether the UN or any given country recognizes them. My feeling is that people have a right to self defense, which would require them to have acce

I think you've got it backwards. You are so attractive that the chickens want to stay outside the coop with you!

Just asked a retired pharmacist and clinical social worker (two family members) about this. They said that there were numerous things that anti-depressants are prescribed for (smoking cessation, OCD, anxiety, etc.) which are NOT off-label

My understanding was that a (very approximate) rule of thumb was that alcohol tends to be served in portions that are appropriate for the 2 drinks an hour rule. That is a bottle of beer, a glass of wine, a shot of vodka, a mixed drink, etc

I'm guessing he's referring to the Traigle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Basically the management locked the women working at the factory in because they thought they would sneak out instead of working. So when a fire broke out the w

What are the actual rules/international law for this sort of thing? According to Wikipedia they at least have a flag: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_th...

I'm not sure that it makes sense to me that this explains the feeling a presence when no one's there since in this case there was someone behind them, its just happened to be a robot. Instead it seems to me that it just shows tha

What causes you to say that JavaScript is a flawed language? Not trying to be snarky or saying you're wrong, just want to better understand your reasoning. It seems to me that at one point JavaScript had a lot of confusing/bad de

Are there any resources that you would suggest for learning about functional patterns?

This seems like an interesting study, but I'm not sure its conclusion makes sense to me. Am I understanding the facts correctly: 1. Employment stayed about the same. 2. Employees overall were payed a lot more. 3. The number of low

I agree that there are going to be situations where conflict between desires is unavoidable or where it is not possible to accommodate extreme desires; however that doesn't mean that finding compatible solutions is not the best approac

It seems to me that part of the solution might be working to develop solutions that don't prevent the other side from achieving their desires. My ideal vision of how America works (e.g. the American dream as I see it) is that everyone
