  • Its a problem with all of them. How can any christians be non pacifist when direct from christs mouth was the very direct command:

    “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.”

    I have had discussion and its ludicrous the other parts they engage in mental gymnastics to work around it. Its the same with the 4 noble truths and the 8 fold way. Its pretty obvious its about looking inward and delving into anyone elses life except to help them would be feeding into desire. Sihks have this whole thing about goofy practices of other religions and then have their own goofy practices. No idea how jainism gets corrupted or other faiths off the top of my head but im sure they are there.




  • I mean im in the private sector and have been unemployed for six months now, however I have worked public sector and one reason I work private is the pay is significantly better and I actively save assuming I will be looking for work every couple of years. Publics appeal was primarily that it is more stable, less stressful with more days off and not working over 40 hours a week usually. It will be hard pressed finding individuals to take the pay usually offered if it also has serial unemployment, long work weeks, and little benefits. This means going forward it will be much more expensive for government to function.










  • I will throw what is likely an unpopular opinion. I think what you are doing is responsible. If you don’t actually feel like any candidate is any worse than the others, in any way, in even the least way ; then I think you are doing the right thing. If you vote randomly, with no basis at all, doing eannny, meanny, minne, moe or such. Its way better to not vote. Now if you think any candidate is even the slightest bit worse for your country than the others ; then you should vote. I have much more respect for you deciding you have no basis to cast a ballot and choosing not to do so than some folks in my country who seeing and acknowledging a greater evil choose to not vote to punish the lesser evil for not being good enough. Your take as I read it is sensible.
