Sparagmos, hi again.. I remembered what I posted, I recognized that u misquoted me, that's honestly the reason I responded.. to clear my post. I personally believe/standby that raising minimum wage 5.50 over 6 years is rapid. It's faster than inflation, that's my characterization: rapid. Not...

Kostilaks, I'm praying for your peace of mind. I'll also suggest, try putting what you are witnessing in context. There are many people looking at/listening to the same things you are. And they are having different interpretations. What u take away from a video is often subjective, not...

Sparagmos, hi.. not sure why you're stating that I'm arguing against an imaginary straw man (in the advocacy for a $15 minimum wage). $15 minimum wage has a large, visible advocacy.. it's not a random number I'm suggesting (?) Also confused why u quoted me as fearing a minimum wage increase...

Agreed. I've done a lot of reading on Border States over the years (especially Maryland & Delaware).. Maryland, true Border State.. Southern society, that didn't secede, but was also largely, initially opposed to fighting the seceding deep South (to a point of riotous resistance). Also...

Hi.. I'm gonna address the minimum wage increase in food service; something I believe is overlooked. If a relatively sharp & rapid increase is implemented for entry level employees, then the wages of crew leaders & asst manager will have to increase quickly & commensurately.. Seems like that is...

Looking forward to the Bowl season..

Tulc, I don't think the facts, or opinions, related to Trump are what characterize the derangement.. I believe it has to do with obssesive hatred. If someone continuously fixates on, and criticizes, a neighbor, an ex-spouse, a single ethnic group, etc..(I think) the facts and/or opinions being...

The 2016 Pew Research u cite has Evangelical Lutherans toward the high(er) end of Christian denominations listed. (I count them as #5 of Christian denominations, with 14 below them.. if my count was correct.) And they have one of the lowest % below 30K a year. I wouldn't characterize that as...

76, 'Pay as well' as what (?) Professions within other Christian denominations (?) Could you cite a source showing that Lutheran median household incomes are toward the low end of Christian' household incomes (if that's what you're stating). Incidentally, hope everyone @ CF had a good...

I love Thanksgiving NFL games. One of my favorite holiday traditions..

Sparag, hi. What is your source on 'most jobs don't drug test..' (?) I'm asking because the last 3 or 4 jobs I've had, all drug tested me before my hiring was finalized. That's just my anecdotal experience, but I think drug screening is a lot more common than u suggest.. I agree with u tho...

A common, and understandable, misconception I encounter.. the Civil War abruptly ended @ Appomattox. There were several subsequent Confederate surrenders after Appomattox. Johnston was still in the field, etc.. A historical debate/revision I've been interested in recently.. is the assertion...

Iowa demolished Lovie Smith's Illinois yesterday (63-0). It ties the greatest margin of defeat in Illinois' history (1906). This is the Iowa team I was anticipating. I was disappointed to see Maryland eventually lose to Ohio St. When I left my house, Maryland was up with only about a minute...

Wonder if Idol let out a Rebel Yell after his oath was finished..

Michael J Fox's last starring episode on Spin City.. I had seen it before, but forgotten most of it. Had some touching scenes..

Sic, you quoted Clement Vallandigham in your initial post.. For whatever it's worth, there's a good book on Vallandigham & the Peace Democrats titled Copperheads: The Rise and Fall of Lincoln's Opponents in the North. (Jennifer L Weber). My opinion, Northern resistance to Lincoln's draft(s) has...

Jimmye Laycock will coach his last regular season game for William and Mary this weekend (vs Richmond). He's been there for 39 years.. I remember William and Mary having some decent FCS playoff games.. (I think Steelers' Mike Tomlin is William and Mary alum ?)

David, yeah.. I think Genesis 1:28 would be another Genesis verse consistent w/the raison d'etre of 2:15.. It seems pretty straight forward from those complimentary verses that man was created to sustain ourselves as caretakers of God's Earthly Eden.. U ask my personal, subjective take on it...

How do posters here interpret Genesis 2:15, in relation to this question (?) I find this verse to be a pretty straight-forward, immediate explanation that man was (initially) placed on Earth as a caretaker of God's natural (Edenic) world (?) Does the Bible eventually/clearly refute this...

Kind of obscure, but Stan Lee did an animated series in the early '8os (Spider Man & His Amazing Friends).. I liked Lee's brief narration(s) on it. Stanley Stan Lee Lieber, Rest in Peace.
