They should all be able to vote. From prison, too. The punishment never needs to be to take their voting rights away. If they commit fraud, stop them from committing fraud again.

So presumably he hadn't, because all life in the sea pees there.

Or Poseidon just doesn't like pools, and it's a trick question.

Dogs mostly chose to live with us, and many have the ability to survive without us.

Wolves did, or whatever mutated variant it was, and then we created a whole bunch of different breeds. Some of them might be able to survive. Some of them can't even breed on their own, because humans are idiots.

Cats understand that humans are a factor, and decide to work around that factor.

That's basically how they live with humans in the first place, they're not properly domesticated, just happens that they can live with us.

I'd say if we were to abolish libraries, we should abolish copyright as well, because they serve the same purpose. Copyright is an artificial barrier, a social contract to promote sharing ideas and creative works. There's nothing inherent about copyright, it doesn't exist if we don't want it to. So why should we want it to?

I might wait until 2024 just to have all the threads in the same year. Thinking one thread per season at this point, pending character limit challenges.

The responsibility of parents isn't just to feed their kids until they're 18, but to raise them and give them what they need to become independent adults. A responsibility shared with the government through public services and social safety nets.

Without the parents, it should mean the government has all of responsibilities and can't throw people out on the street if it hasn't finished the job.

Later that week, Gonzales went to Calvary Church, where a volunteer offered to pray with her and another woman joined in. Gonzales had told pastors at both Calvary and Sagebrush churches that she was homeless and living on the street. One pastor prayed with her and signed her up for a baptism.

Oh, good, there's someone we can recruit.

Christians are tell, don't show. If they didn't call it a loving god, maybe there could be some logic to it.

But the very core of Christianity is that God had his son executed, and for what? Nothing was solved, God is still in charge, God makes all the decisions. There would be no threat of Hell without God to send people there, he could just stop. But they say he hasn't, and somehow has any measure of love.

Should be illegal. Same as unpaid internships. Pay workers or don't be a business.

Their options are pack up and leave, or throw down their weapons and surrender.

The headline should be the IRS cutting bill. If it was about aid to Israel, they would've just put that in, not try to use aid to Israel as a means to stop the IRS from being able to collect the taxes their wealthy donors owe.

If anything, a spending bill should come with a tax, not a revenue cut.

Yeah, that's not any kind of improvement, that's just moving your hours around. People can do that now. Shouldn't need to. The 40 hour workweek is way out of date, 32 hours is barely catching up to where we should be by now.
