It just so happened one and two aligned with economics as well. The US and allies being generally richer than the USSR.

My understanding of the situation is the fires are currently burning the historic districts and grandfathered homes. The newer buildings have not been touched yet.

1% of gaza dead.

That’s 46000 people, half of which are women and children according to AP.

Another 100,000 injured, not counted in your 1%.

It’s the face the wall comrade meme all over again.

They generally are not able to because of the castle doctrine. However, that implies someone shot a cop and survived the rest of the encounter, and the cops respect the laws and do not throw you in jail anyways.

A congress his party nearly completely controls.

Nixon was normal in the sense of the word, just paranoid.

Actually, what “original sin” truly is has been debated, many believe death itself is original sin, which is why heaven is eternal.

Absolutism is a fine theoretical stance, but breaks down immediately when faced with real situations. Furthermore, someone with such an absolute stance will not make the effort to have a real debate and possibly change their stance, ergo it is not worth engaging with.

Assuming your stance is embryos are alive: the default stance of most christians is the physical act of baptism and church rites are less important than the belief, a child incapable of understanding God would go to Heaven or Purgatory. In some sects it is not the physical birth that matters but the spiritual, your spirit is what goes to Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory when the body dies, and it can be argued embryos and newborns do not have a soul per se, just the capability to harbor one.

Dostoyevsky lived before the baby hitler question. If you knew without a shadow of a doubt a child would become the a very evil person, is it more ethical to kill the child now and spare the suffering of those later, or not kill the currently innocent child but condemn the others. A child does not deserve to suffer for the same reasons an adult does not deserve to suffer. No one inherently deserves to suffer and have evil happen. However, free will can lead to suffering and oppression.

I have a few points to this.

The first being) he already has, it’s called heaven, a world without harship, strife, and evil.

The second being) the prevention of evil and the complete elimination of evil are different goals. If we are truly made in the image of god as the bible says, then god geels similar emotions to us as well. So the ultimate answer to the question of why hasn’t he is: he doesn’t want to.

The third being) who is to say he has not already, and the goal post of what is evil has moved? How could we possible know god did not create a world before this, with “true evil” only to restart it into this world.

The fourth being) in a world with free will and no evil, the definition if free will completely changes, so therefore he could, but it would not be the same to him or to us.

It’s not an option, it’s the norm in many of these countries. Arrainged marriage, social pressure, and rape.

No, there we’ll always a way to work around the trading system to have gambling. The current proposal I have seen is doing an ID check before trades but that would hamper legitimate trades since people don’t want to hand out their ID info like that.

I have a different issue with the Drag shit, it really messes with translation software. I do not normally type or read in English and have a Lemmy app that translates posts for me. So when i see the comment the software has no clue what to do with it.

The Drake Equation was not really meant to be used. The original purpose of the Drake Equation was to drum up conversations surrounding the first SETI. All it really did was condense everything someone should look for in a possibly human habitable world where aliens may exist. We have much better ways to calculate and search now.

That’s why some people push the Latinx crap. If you ever want to make a Hispanic person mad, call them Latinx.
