Which of course is the reason that the Vatican keeps teams of scientist on hand that includes over 5 Nobel laurites. It's almost like painting us religious people with broad strokes is as backwards and ignorant as making general statements

It's interesting, but not particularly surprising. There's only so much that can be done with a fine arts degree. My girlfriend started off school as a Art history major because she loved art, but quickly changed once she realized there was

The best thing the tech industry can do for gun safety is to provide better education through the internet.

This has been going on for as long as high school has existed. Hell even way before that. The only difference is social media has amplified it. When I was in highschool it wasn't naked pictures being posted or anything like that, but more j

If you've ever worked in a union shop in a state that isn't right to work, you have no say in the matter of union dues. If 50% + 1 vote to enact a union you're required to pay the dues.This is of course different in right to work states whe

Without getting too much into any sort of philosophical or religious discussion this is a really touching story. Merry Christmas everyone.

From my perspective God does love that axe wielding rapist as much as Mother Theresea. You can love someone while still being disappointed or even while punishing them. That's my perspective at least, although I don't even presume to begin

This just amplifies the fact that the conversation shouldn't be about gun control and should be about mental health.

Does anyone know if the rates are different based on whether you get a town car or a taxi?

I like the 20k from each. It's always good to have a diversity of opinions.

Absolutely reductio ad absurdum works for political arguments. If you didn't think that then why did you literally just use it on my comment? I would say discrimination based on some sort of inherent trait is completely wrong (race, religio

And so it goes. I have a feeling many people on here would be singing a different tune if the EU suddenly decided that it was a "right" for people to use their software no matter who they are. Think of it this way. Would anyone truly benefi

The truth is Democracy is a bitter pill. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. Like it or not it seems this group represents some of the Greek people and it's their right to elect these people. If you want to "do something" about the Golden D

The thing isn't that this show is necessarily inaccurate, but that it betrays the spirit of what startup culture is supposed to be. A large reason why I, and I suspect many other people, got into this is that it was seen as a true meritocra

These are just the general characteristics of any effective organization. I really don't see how Occupy Sandy is anything like a startup though. Steve Blank defines a startup as "a startup is an organization formed to search for a repeatab

Jordan Lampe is a genius. This is exactly the sort of thing thay makes me miss Dwolla so much. I may actually head back to Des Moines for this. Also anyone know if butchering services are included?

Does this include money donated during the primaries? If so, it could be a huge difference between money spent in the general election vs general election+primaries.

Definitely a problem that needs solving. Craigslist isn't getting the job done, so I took a few assumptions and put something out there. Curious what your thoughts are? I'm always looking for feedback.

That's actually a common misconception. The church teaches that for sex to "whole" it has to have both the formative (pleasure/love) aspect as well as the procreation aspect. You can certainly procreate outside of marriage (in the literal s

As a practicing Catholic, no offense, but you're way off base. The point of making things like sex, gluttony, etc taboo is that it's a pleasure that you're putting above God that detracts from the worship of him. In many western societies p

To me, this is the absolutely key phrase in the entire article. " Some question the usefulness of the economic models the CPB uses, which (like all economic models) have never successfully predicted what the economy will do several years do

Interesting. It's always important when talking about "rights" to distinguish between negative and positive rights. Thanks for giving me a more fleshed out version there.

by littlegiantcap 14y ago
I thought this was one of those negative rights, i.e. it doesn't have to be given to you, it just can't be taken from you.

I wonder if there's issues with his age and owning a business? Can anyone speak to this? Would his parents have to be involved?
