I've done this before, but now that I have many more followers will ask this again: Are there any questions, whether just general, political, etc, that you want to know my views on? If so ask in the comments.
Do you feel that you are reasonably well informed of the benefits and hazards of a traditional Western diet, animal proteins, high fructose corn syrup etc. what is your current opinion of the contribution of your diet to your health or diseases.
We need responsible gun control, including universal background checks etc. I absolutely do not want to ban guns or a responsible persons right to own one. But certain limits and restrictions as well a precautions are needed.
I can't get back to the other poll, but you had asked about Matthew 27:24-25 - are all Jews guilty for the death of Jesus?
I would say that the Jews sinned by having him crucified.
Are today's Jews guilty via heritage? I don't know.
Assuming we're going strictly off the bible and not what happened when the Romans actually crucified people.... Because what happened with the crucifixion of Jesus in the bible and what the Romans did don't add up very well
Romans would never have asked who to crucify, there was no tradition of pardoning a prisoner. People took days to die not hours. Then they were left to be eaten by scavengers and especially in judea as an insult, because of ritual purity laws. No Jew
Matt-often in Christianity, all people consider themselves guilty of Jesus crucifixion. I myself do. If I'd been there I would have called for his death as well. So yes, I guess you are right. All Jews (and people) are guilty of his death.
The Romans didn't ask to crucify Jesus, the Jews did. What's your source for the Romans never pardoning a prisoner? Could it not have been a specific tradition the the judea region?
Yes crucifixion takes a long time. Jesus gave up his spirit. Pilate ordered the body be given to Joseph. Therefore the Romans would have taken him down, by order.
As far as I know you align pretty closely with the Democratic Party's views. Are there any policies where you fundamentally disagree? Not how to handle the government shutdown etc. but where your political opinion is opposite or very different.
On foreign policy, both parties seem to be mistaken. Obama really doesn't have one, and many democrats are too far left on foreign for me, while the GOP is just kind of "democracy democracy even if it kills us!" I have no issue with a democratic system, but I follow realpolitik, not either party on foreign affairs.
I was just curious - if you disagree with how Democrats handle foreign policy - do you agree the the world seems to like the Democratic position - as opposed to the alternative anyway. I was in Europe on Election Day in 1999. I have a unique view
I think a large part of it is foreign policy. I definenly am against just invading every spec of land like the GOP is more in line with, I'm more against the notion that if country a is nation that's a moderate dictatorship but series our interests
As country b is a decorative that's hates us, we should support b over a. I've never understood that line of reasoning. That said I think another reason Dems are preferred is economic and societal reasons, not just foreign affairs
If I can chip in, I agree that foreign policy plays a role. The invasions of other countries are not popular with many in Europe. The only thing I say back is that when there's trouble it's often the US that has to come clean up, like Syria.
I agree with your last statement for sure. I always have a problem with where we "go in" because a huge part of me says "never" but then I see dead babies and that makes it hard. I would be a bad decision maker on things like this
I know the whole "INVADE" mentality isn't right, nor is " LET US SUPPORT a WHEN b IS IN OUR INTERESTS." I mean remember Grenada? Honestly it was a commonwealth baton hurt out relations with many countries and had ZERO reasoning that made sense.
I'm not sure. Tony has said that the plan is there will be regional or country specific questions. Once in a while there will be global questions. I hope we can follow them and decide if we want to see the UK specific questions. As a European I
...would be very interested in their discussions. I just have no idea how Tony should run it. He needs employees to help him with all the administrative work.
I think when it comes to affirmative action, race shouldn't be the sole factor. I think a combination, including race, socio-economics, gap, merit in general etc for college admissions are needed. As for being hired for jobs, I think the idea a company needs a certain amount if x or y ethnicity in a certain position definitely needs to go.
