    When Is It Right To Refuse Service To Someone?

    I'm a government employee. There's a big difference between my personal and professional life. When people have had problems with "me" in the past, it's usually been about something else entirely that's simply been misunderstood by them... It's easy to form opinions about things and people...

    Justice Kennedy retiring

    How about a court full of moderates? Wouldn't that make the most sense? Just professional judges, free of partisanship or politics, doing their job and interpreting rulings through the lens of the Constitution? I do not understand why anyone would want all branches of government to be...

    Fortnite

    I play with my son and his buddies some when he's at his mother's. But I'm not a "gamer" per se so I'm not going to share my handle here. It's just something we do together. I will say it's a fun game and the allure of the play style explains it's massive popularity.

    SCOTUS Rules Non-Union Workers Can't Be Forced To Pay Union Dues

    I'm pretty sure he was referring to the driver of Click-bait titles/headlines. In the desire to draw in more viewers, and thus more advertising money, they have to continually spin outrageous headlines to draw in more viewers than their last spot. Our cultural polarization is, at least in...

    SCOTUS Rules Non-Union Workers Can't Be Forced To Pay Union Dues

    I missed that pretty important distinction, actually. I'm glad you pointed that out. I don't disagree that the bargaining costs don't always necessitate the dues. But workers are also paying for the networking of organizing and promoting certain movements, for example. As with any organization...

    SCOTUS Rules Non-Union Workers Can't Be Forced To Pay Union Dues

    Some employees benefit by agency of the Union, without paying for it. That's absolutely true. So I don't really see the problem of paying a reduced rate for a monetary benefit that those employees receive on every paycheck by way of a union's previous and current work. They weren't paying the...

    Just to stir the pudding...

    Complicated problems require complicated solutions. Attempting to justify one-size-fits all arguments, when they're obviously flawed, is about as productive as getting into an emotional shouting match over a topic you were totally ignorant of three weeks ago.

    Attention, Trump Supporters

    I'd like to see the Conversatives in this thread make a list of things Trump has done poorly. I'd also like to see the Progressives make a list of things Trump has done well. Classic Debate 101 - Argue for the position of your adversary.

    How can you accept evolution and still have a spiritual reality, and/or a God faith

    Of course not. It's a ridiculous and unnecessary dichotomy. I really do not see why Creationists have such a hard time accepted something that doesn't conflict with their primary claim. IF God exists and created everything, he very obviously did so through biological means, right? (Don't...

    Atheism and Leperchauns-ism

    I think the OP's confusion highlights one of the root problems with faith systems in general; they produce an apparent inability to understand something different from the subject worldview. Non-belief is almost incomprehensible to someone who has been taught how to believe in something. For...

    The Creationist's Argument and its Greatest Weakness

    That's about what I expected. I've read Behe and Meyer. What you cited from Axe seems like similar to the other two; he cites Darwin's own words (from the 1800's...) and then argues that chemical or protein changes aren't gradual changes, therefore gradual changes in species don't occur...

    The Evolution Chamber: Piltdown Man

    You want to dissect the flaws in Evolutionary Theory while only having, at best, a Sophomoric understanding of the topic? Is that correct?

    The Creationist's Argument and its Greatest Weakness

    Yeah, that's what I'm hoping to eventually point out. If people were more open with their citations and evidences, it would easier to show them for what they really are... Biology of all fields... It's single most unifying tenet is arguably common descent. Mind boggling.

    Poor Sarah Sanders, victim of persecution

    It's a slippery slope. I would argue that it's a classless act, regardless of the reasoning one gives for it. Following someone to a dinner table and chanting protest slogans at them is just as gross a human behavior as refusing to bake a cake to a paying customer because they're of a...

    Need advice about a friend (too)

    Buy him a lighter and be honest with your need for space, especially late at night. Also, when you continue to go over to someone's place, you're only inviting more future visits. If you really don't want much to do with this guy, then you have to stop being so available.
