Thanks, the article was quite helpful.

World war seems a bit far-fetched. A strike could make things worse for the people in Syria, anger Iran, and cause Israel to experience increased friction being a US ally. But those things would hardly hurt American foreign interests very much, and would have a virtually unnoticeable effect on...

Did you read the quote at all? Only one parent needs to be a citizen for it to count provided that parent had been physically present in the US for a period of 5 years some point before the child's birth and that one of those years was after the parent turned 14. So, even if these insane...

A natural born citizen (not naturalized, which would mean someone who had to become a citizen) is someone who is granted birthright citizenship. Birthright citizenship can be obtained by being born in the US or by being born to US citizens. A quote from the wiki:

It doesn't even matter where he was born. Obama has citizenship because his mother was a citizen.

I agree that there are not absolutes in this area, and I realize everyone has their own idea of what is and is not acceptable in a philosophical sense, but there are two problems with this counter argument. The first is the fact that individual opinion has no bearing on what the letter of the...

There are any number of privacy violations that could be easily argued would make us safer. For example, we could just institute monthly searches of everyone's homes nationwide. Or we could require citizens to have cameras installed in every room of their houses. Think of all the crimes we could...

Good luck. I've only had to use my ignore list once,and was a bit disappointed that I couldn't stop someone I was ignoring from replying to me. Luckily that was solved when that person got banned.

Never heard of the University of Texas Sniper in 1966? That was fifty years ago. The Crawford family murder was around forty years ago in 1970, as were the Newhall Massacre, and Kent State shooting. The Grover Cleveland Elementary School shooting in happened in 1979. That was 33 years ago. So...

Thanks, that was quite helpful. I've been having a devil of a time looking them up, reverse searching saints by teaching is difficult. If anyone knows of any other church fathers, keep replying.

Hello TAW. A couple years ago, I read that a common EO interpretation of the afterlife is not a matter of going to one of two different places, but instead, everyone experiences the presence of God. The differences in individual souls will determine if God's presence is an eternally blissful...

The House – new, with less democracy!

Care to elaborate?

Because if they become an actual company, they will instead pick programming they will make more money producing. Sponsors will be willing to pay the station more money to change the programming than they could collect from anyone willing to donate money to PBS in it's current form.

I was personally most excited about the Massachusetts election results. Both because Elizabeth Warren ousted Scott Brown, and because there's now a Kennedy in Congress again.

Bingo. And a lot of conservatives also fail to realize that the things that most strongly contribute to people living the kinds of lifestyles they approve of is actually increased economic and educational opportunity. Education and economic stability through childhood correlates very strongly...

What science are you referring to that proves climate change is natural and not man-made? There's a 97-98% consensus among practicing climatologists that the current climatic change is mostly or entirely cause by humans. Even the study the Koch Brothers (two ideologically right-wing business men...

Here's a Supreme Court Justice on the matter.

This is especially obvious in the realm of foreign policy. Most of the debate between the two of them consisted of them laying out the exact same policies and plans and agreeing with each other. If you don't like Us foreign policy, then you're sol because no big two candidate is going to change it.

If they changed their stance on Climate Change and the environment that would be a really important shift in my opinion. I'd also like it if the Republican platform incorporated scientific data and testing into their platform in general. That is to say, that instead of embracing denialism for...
