  1. Saw this today and immediately thought about the conversation last week of how if liberal arts and low ROI-degrees was "means tested" for only those who could afford them, what intangibles would be lost and how fortified in privilege the benefits would further become:
  2. It's the lawyer in you. You are forgiven.
  3. Not Brisket anchoring to a position, extrapolated to an extreme, and stalling out an active discussion through beating the dead horse of making the same point over and over and over and over.... Lay out your point, which you did and it was well stated and we all agree, now kindly move on please, or at least take another number and go to the back of the line if you want to repeat yourself.
  4. At what point does the pre-life become life? Maybe that is where the consensus and law needs to be clear first, as a foundation.
  5. Bernard/Gordon.
  6. Polls have consistently found that a majority of Americans oppose overturning Roe v. Wade. In a Marquette University Law School poll from January, 72% were opposed to striking it down, while 28% were in favor
  7. what now?
  8. I see your point. It seems to me that there is a binary, black and white, decision-tree-esque divide that cannot be compromised or met in the middle from a moral or spiritual place: Do you believe a human fetus is a person with a "soul" endowed by a creator ergo abortion is murder or do you believe a human isn't a human until some other point in time? I find it very difficult to believe that in modern America as we sit here today in 2022 that we have gotten more spiritually conscious and aware and in-touch and that the tide has shifted. From what I have seen of society, the pro-lifers are a minority and one that has been shrinking.
  9. I understand this is a political discussion and as such, there are some assumptions being made philosophically and morally (to which your post I quoted alludes to one)-- is there a more appropriate or different forum or thread to discuss this stuff from a different angle? Asking because I think that would be an interesting conversation as well as one that would yield different forecasting and determinations.
  10. All I know is the "Suns in 4" chant at the end of the game was disrespaktful. I didn't like that. None.
  11. You are free to start your own message board following with a new philosophy and codified set of moral laws and behaviors.
  12. For me it was Kenny G on a Kanye record:
  13. Religions are like when middle schoolers do the mock United Nations or Student Government. Children trying to establish and maintain an order that is beyond their scope in developed abilities. Which is an interesting dilemma because while organized religions mostly suck and are deeply flawed (necessarily, because the people who make up the institutions are deeply flawed), I do believe we are called to be in community with other believers. No man is an island, indeed. That said, "where two or more are gathered...", so have discernment and wisdom and just do your best to join the most life-giving "book club" you can, if your goal is to have as deep a spiritual connection to our creator that you can on this side of existence (and to come home, after you've materially passed).
  14. The telecast said he had 8 turnovers but box score said 5. Don't know the real number or discrepancy there.
  15. Suns suck and Suns fans are Arizona sun-baked trash.
  16. lol just that kind of game. can't even be mad.
  17. Who is going to help him? JB can't drive/cut across the lane because he's too tiny.
  18. Josh Green is trashcan emoji. Watching him spastically running around makes me irate.
  19. His body language is bad. I think he's frustrated. He is realizing that he can't just put the team on his back and win, he needs help because the Suns are too strong if at full health. Luka has played well all things considered.
  20. PHX has too many horses when healthy. Sucks because we have no rim protection and conversely Jalen can't be effective against their bigs. Like, at all. 3 points and 3 fouls I think it is?
  21. Wait you didn't before? Suns fan base = Arizona sun-baked trash.
  22. This is ugly. Lots of laziness it feels like, which you can't have when you are outmanned to begin with.
  23. Kendrick Lamar was trending on Twitter a few weeks ago because of this numerology stuff in this verse. Not sure how truly composed all this is, but it's interesting:
