The Internet is a place for the people, like parks, libraries, museums, historic places. If that's true, it needs to be legally designated as such. I believe the official story is that it was created for the military and extended for

I like my job so no. Otherwise, if they offered good pay and a flexible schedule, and I was impressed with the engineering talent, then why not? Everything is a risk.

A lot of Americans admire Germany's progressivism, but don't fully appreciate it comes at the expense of sharply curtailed personal liberties.

Forgot about Bob! I grew up under the shadow of Microsoft but it's easy to forget about it entirely when I see nothing but Linux and Mac nowadays. Funny to remember what a cancer that company truly was/is.

Regarding the subject at hand, then, why did Christians invent science rather than pagans, Muslims, or Buddhists? We don't know for sure but we could argue that pagans did not have a notion of progress; Muslims were obsessed with their

It really is all about the Champions League. UEFA should offer a fifth spot for the FA Cup winner if they don't qualify by league position. All of the premier league top 6 deserve to be in the Champions League but we need to give them

Yeah I don't know anybody personally who feels like a winner because they have clean drinking water. It's universal where I live. In places where it's not, you might feel like a winner when the neighboring village doesn'

My understanding is there needs to be a reasonable expectation the child would be raised to be Catholic. A typical heuristic is at least one Catholic parent. I guess "be Catholic" in this context means "will go through confir

What public spaces? They're all either reserved in advance for a yuppie wedding or being defecated on by untreated schizophrenics. There's just too many people for the amount of land to accommodate everyone comfortably.

Thank you, just to be clear: there is no obstacle to a Protestant sponsoring a child's baptism in the Catholic Church as parent or godparent? Also I think you are right that many Protestants believe their opinions are clearly implicate

Right, just because some proto-scientist in a primitive ivory tower had observed two goats fucking, doesn't mean the common person had access to that kind of knowledge.

It's not clear to me whether Rome accepts Christians who completely reject its authority. The central point of Lutheran Protestantism is that it's open source: anybody with a Bible can decide for themselves how to implement it wit

I see, but in addition to a valid baptism aren't there required beliefs as well? Such as the immaculate conception and Papal infallibility, which Protestants would deny?

That's interesting but I thought the Donatist decision only applied to people who wanted to be part of the Roman Catholic church but their baptising priest had at some point lapsed. Generally Protestants don't recognize the author

Some people prefer a single family house with a yard, and some prefer to pack as many bodies as you can per square inch of land area. Density is good early in your life arc, but there are diminishing returns after you've already made a

Based on the people I know, it's because they have student debt, they can't afford a house, they can't afford for one parent to quit their job and do full-time child care, and the price of day Care is prohibitive. The only pe

Based on my personal experiences with people of Turkish and Egyptian descent living in Europe, I believe that many are happy being integrated into their adopted nationality, and many are not. Again my point is not that immigration can'

I agree. I should clarify my point is just that it's very hard to undo a decision to increase immigration after the fact; I do think there should be some amount of cross-cultural immigration.

Europe did the same in importing large numbers of Muslim laborers after WW2. The hope was that they'd either make their money and go back home, or culturally integrate. Many observers will say that neither happened and there's now

In theory the Christian leadership is supposed to be leading the people out of Egypt, but in practice they're usually playing golf with the Pharaohs. The aping of Greek mystical forms such as virgin worship I believe is a ploy to make

I understand, but even when a bishop is appointed by a secular ruler (or vice versa), it's still a separate religious office. Taxation and jurisprudence are mundane matters, even if the same cabal is running both sides. "Render un
