Well it wasn't copy/pasta, nor was I trying to make some theological point. But given the latter part of your comment, you're very keen on reading many things into what I type here that I've not said. So I'll just

This logic doesn't make sense to me. If walking down a dark alley filled with strangers is "interacting with strangers" then so is walking anywhere - the mall, the bus, the beach, every restaurant, etc. Our lives are full o

In general, a mind at work is analyzing problems, being creative, combining old ideas into new ideas, planning for the future and in general actively engaging the world. This is contrasted against more passive thinking. For example, compl

I think that this is probably a logical extension of the underlying logic. Sales taxes are inherently harder on people with less money than people with more money. That's demonstrable just based on simple math. Any argument for sales

For many years, my dad was given 4 days off a year for both sick and vacation time. Any other time was unpaid. He changed jobs last year, and I haven't asked him if his new job is the same or not. It is absolutely ridiculous.
