Sure, that's what's great about democracy, we can vote for what the majority wants. I was responding to what cbanek wrote, as it seemed to me that cbanek did not correctly understand some of the pro-lifers viewpoints.

A lot of pro life people feel that actively killing sometime (they consider a fetus alive) is very bad and should be stopped. Where as keeping another person alive (not passively killing them) and happy is the individuals responsibility. Th

the benefit of languages with cases is that you can switch the order of the sentence without changing the meaning. In those languages I can say "the dog bit the person" and "the (accusative) person bit the (nominative) dog&qu

Does anyone have thoughts on XMPP? If I understand correctly it is a group / private chat protocol similar to email in that there is a protocol that can allow you to communicate to each other. Similar to email there are many companies

This reminds me of a Rabbi who I forgot his name. There are Jewish communities that like to speak in Yiddish and others where the members do not know Yiddish. There was a Rabbi who wanted to appease to a greater audience by giving his sermo

Just renouncing US citizenship costs several thousand dollars in legal fees and could take up to 5 years. What you are suggesting is similar to telling someone who is complaining about rent prices to just buy a house.

I am a citizen of a foreign country, I have a job in that country, I store my money in that country, I buy practically all of my products in that country. Why should the fact that when I was a baby, the US government decided to give me citi

you're confusing 2 things. before passover, Jews make a declaration claiming that all crumbs and other hametz not found should be like dust. if however someone had something valuable, like a bottle of whiskey, then they sell it.

I have to disagree. Apart from maybe post WW2 in America, the average person has always had to work much harder than the elite. There were sweatshops, Kings, slavery, and colonialism. If we look at American now, even with all of its issues,

I'm not from the US but don't IDs require proof of citizenship? I mean, if an illegal immigrant were to try to get a driver license wouldn't they have to prove that they were legally in the US? Or can anyone from any country

Is that a rhetorical question? The reason given for requiring voter IDs (while possibly not the primary one) is to prevent voter fraud. Are you asking if there has every been a case of voter fraud? If so, here is one example [1]. [1] https

Before 1940 there are many documents, records, and letters from Jews in Europe. After that there were much less. No country received a huge influx of Jews. Where did they all go?

I don't know how many people fall in to the category, but some of the millions of American citizens living abroad may. While it is rare to be prosecuted, legally the fines can quickly pile up if while you are living abroad, you forge

As an expat let me tell you how screwed I am. 1) Some banks to want to deal with the liabilities of American clients (even dual citizens). There have been many cases were they simply said that all Americans must withdraw all of their money

Every country is different. You will have to specify what country you are a citizen to, and where you plan on going. I know that being an American citizen can make it very difficult to live abroad. I am an accidental American and I have to

I don't have any stats to back this up, but could it be that immigrants are more law abiding because they have to pass the long and difficult process that verifies them? If the system were to change in such a way that more people can i

You probably aren't the only one, but I can try to explain the other side. When you live and work in (let's say) America, you are paying taxes and following the law. If suddenly, anyone could come to America, America would proba
