At this point in world affairs, I'm not sure how to de-escalate things from where they currently are. However, if/when we get past the present situation, I suggest nations not start wars. So...you're just going to make the suggestion, and nations are all going to listen, and are going to stop makin...

Do the winners write history or does history favor those who deserve to win? I suggest peace is a viable and necessary route to save humanity from ourselves. Let's say you're right.

It would be even better to be able to examine the material you are complaining about, but as you won't tell us what it is, how can we? You're starting to sound pathetic. You mean you've miraculously lost your ability to Google? Google, what are the books that IC has deemed to be perverted? Sad. :cr...

The programs which teach sex stuff to very little children are all aimed at making sure the children know to speak up if an adult is doing something wrong with them. Better look up some of those videos. You couldn't be more wrong. It would be even better to be able to examine the material you are c...

Seen through the lens of politics, the issue of what books should be in government-school libraries is the matter of Federalism vs. Centralized Power. It doesn't have to be. It can be seen as a simple matter of parental responsibility, or of community standards expressed as the willingness of paren...

Either God knows which of the five roads we are going to choose, or he doesn't. He does. Just as I knew you'd reply. You could have chosen not to. You could have chosen to reply differently. But you replied as you saw fit, and I was quite right about my prediction. The difference between God and yo...
