    London's murder rate now tops New York City's

    Sean Hannity is a 'welfare queen'

    The major difference is that these rebates involving the likes of Trump and Hannity were made by Federal authorities with a view to encourage investment into certain areas, seeking to thereby ultimately benefit the wider society. A welfare check is not sent with the assumption of a returned...

    As experiments in basic income begin in US, Finland pulls back on their basic income experiment

    If the socialist Nordic countries have rejected it as an example of gross government intervention, then that's a rather telling sign of a failure-in-waiting.

    Deciding which protestant bible I should get

    Thank you all very much for your suggestions. Having tried several bibles I have come to the conclusion that I prefer the style of the KJV. However I do take issue with two outdated translations in the Ten Commandments, which are both understandable due to the age of the text, but also are an...

    Are there any judokas here?

    A good judo instructor can teach you that easily within minutes, it's a very simple set of techniques. But I understand that it would be a problem if you were never taught it in the first place due to BJJ being mostly groundwork. Funnily enough our judo club has a heavy emphasis on groundwork...

    The "I can't tell a joke to save my life" thread.

    An American man and a Soviet man are arguing over who has more freedom. The American says, "I can walk up to The White House and yell 'Reagan is a disgrace', and nobody can do anything about it." The Soviet man says, "I can do the same thing! I can walk up to the Kremlin and yell "Reagan is a...

    My confusion over the Old Law

    Forgive my ignorance, if I cause offence here then it is due to my poor understanding rather than any wish to anger. It was my understanding that Old Testament Law was for the people of Israel specifically. Does the fact that the Old Covenant was aimed towards Israel mean that the Ten...

    UK Election

    Like Labour's £30 policemen? Anyway, their welfare state is a naïve fantasy.

    UK Election

    I'm not enthralled by Tory policy, however, if I was a few months older, I would be voting for them because I fear that a Corbynite premiership would bring economic ruin due to his frankly naïve view of wealth redistribution and nationalization. I know I'm being far too vague here, so feel free...

    If God asked you to kill someone from another group, would you?

    The question for me would not be "Would God do this?" But rather "Can I be sure that this command is actually from God." To elaborate, I probably wouldn't be sure if it was indeed him or whether it was my mind leading me astray. The circumstances should certainly guide your judgment, in my opinion.

    Muslim appointed Chaplin American Military Base

    Soldiers from a variety of faiths serve in the US army and they have a right to have a chaplain from each of their religions-I don't understand the issue. How would you feel if you were a national of a country with a Christian minority and a chaplain was denied to you?

    The "I can't tell a joke to save my life" thread.

    An ancient Greek walks into a tailor's shop with pair of damaged trousers in his hands. Gesturing to the pair of trousers, the tailor asks, questioningly, "Euripides?" to which the customer replies, "Yes, you Eumenides".
