I know right? I mean, how about the jury trial for anything over 20$? Someone else has to provide me that. As a matter of fact, I get to help myself to the time of fifteen other people! (defense lawyer, prosecutor, judge, 12 jurymen) Or what about my right to vote? But wait, you say...

I think that for-profit healthcare is an abhorrent, unChristian idea that literally reduces the lives of men into numbers and discards many like trash. Healthcare should not be for-profit. Doctors, nurses, and so on should get paid their salaries, utility companies their bills, and such, but...

I am not a Democrat, but I lean far closer to them than the Republican party. Regarding abortion- given some of the court decisions on state abortion laws, I don't think it's becoming illegal anytime soon. I agree with the previous post in this thread about the utter lack of any sort of Right...

3.09$ at the circle-k, $3.06 at the place attached to Wal-Mart. Metherion

Just remember, if you're asking WWJD, cursing trees and flipping tables of merchants while running around with a whip is not out of the question. I agree that the better question is closer to "What do Jesus' teachings tell me to do?" Metherion

Whenever I hear of transhumanism, I think of the tabletop RPG Eclipse Phase, which has to do with such things as: Using technology to make a backup of a specific human that can be put into other bodies if theirs dies (similar to Ghost in the Shell I believe), Extensive genetic engineering and...

It's horrible. Inhalation of this deadly material can cause drowning. In its gaseous state it can cause burns, and in liquid state it can cause burns at temperatures commonly found in most household appliances. Prolonged exposure can cause pruning of the fingers and toes, and with long...

In 11th grade, the most math you should have to do in chemistry is basic algebra. I don't remember seeing calculus or pre-calc in chem until physical chemistry, which isn't more than touched on in high school. Metherion

Teach your children comprehensive sex ed. Sex ed is not "How to have sex". Sex ed teaches things like: Babies come from this act. Myths about sex (You can't get pregnant your first time, or if you have sex while wearing clothes, or…) are wrong. These are the changes your body...

I as drawn to chemical engineering as a career option, and managed to not find a job by graduating in 2008. But I LOVED thermodynamics. I loved being able to find out just what would happen, being able to predict what conditions needed to be in place for reactions to occur… it basically...

I wouldn't index a maximum wage to the minimum wage, I'd index it to the total payroll of the company. If the people who vote on wages want to give themselves a raise, they have to raise the whole payroll. As a matter of fact, it might work best as a tiered system based on level of management...

Funnily enough, my master's thesis was on using tailored montmorillonite clays to separate racemic mixtures of amino acids, where I specifically tested Arizona montmorillonite and California hectorite with lysine, apsaragine, and glutamine. I actually remember coming across this exact article...

Whoa, there, Edwin. I said one party was a religious party, and how being on God's side can lead to all opposing viewpoints as being evil. I said nothing about anything else. And for the record, I'm not a Democrat. I come closest to the green party. One of the political cartoons from the...

I also think part of it is how one party is now the 'religious' party. If one side of a discussion is claiming to be God's side, then the other side must be wrong on every level, and compromising with THE OTHER is a compromise with pure sin. Since the TRUE SIDE already has God on its side...

They're not singled out. They're lumped in with the AIPAC and the Hasbara fellowships. It's also possible a number of the council believe as Manic Spinoza said in post # 39. Some may also have read (first hand or perhaps less directly) the writings or arguments of Norman G Finklestein and his...

And yet the ADL says (also from the wikipedia article): So, requiring and yet not requiring council members from abstaining from trips paid for by local synagogues or, say, the Neturei Karta, would seem to indicate this against the state is Israel and not Jews. Metherion

You can be against the Serbian government or the Albanian government without being anti-Slavic. You can be against Vatican City as a separate state without being anti-Catholic. You can be against the USSR without being a Russophobic. You can be against the current government, President, or...

What law might that be? Metherion

Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, Everson v Board of Education, majority opinion/ ruling, 2/10/1947: Metherion

Well, since this is okay, I suppose that in future years, when demographics shift, there will be absolutely no uproar when, say, the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita, the Necronomicon, the Vedas, the Satanic Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Book of Shadows, the Tao Te Ching, or perhaps literally any other...
