  • There are so many phrasing variants depending on translation. Do we believe the bible, or the actions of people who claim to be Christians? Many Christian parents have historically interpreted the bible advocacy not as metaphor for instruction, but of severe physical discipline and corporal punishment. 2000 years surely is long enough for Christians to refine their game to your gentler and kinder interpretation, yes?

    See Religion and Child Abuse, Perfect Together, by Donald Capps.

  • I understand ACLU, Public Counsel, and United Farm Workers have filed lawsuits against ICE actions in California. Feel free to search for more info!

  • What a travesty. It's not surprising that a religion that advocates beating children (Proverbs 13:24 & 20:30) would not want to report parents who abuse children.

  • Voters can stop the executive branch.

  • Of the lawsuits filed by companies where the plaintiff could be identified, 38% were brought by eight parent corporations: Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Mondelēz, Kellogg’s, Danone, Ferrero, Xignux and Heartland Food Products Group.

    The company founded by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg? He advocated a bland diet, but was also involved in the eugenics movement.

  • CBS took copyright enforcement actions against Colbert. They've supposedly come to an end, but who knows for sure. Colbert seems silenced.

  • I case you were wondering why some voters are confused.

    “When it comes to ivermectin … it works,” Johnson said, proceeding to wave a stack of papers while claiming that there were dozens of studies proving the efficacy of ivermectin against the coronavirus.

    Florida Professor Fired for Assigning a Profane Story, Lawsuit Says

  • I'm guessing this means if this lawsuit is successful and ChatGPT Health is removed, we will all have to pay by not being able to access medical advice from ChatGPT Health. It could even spread to other corporate AI models. Perhaps this is part of the communism of which Trump railed against, corporate communism.

  • I'd definitely ask for my money back from the airline. It would be all I could do to restrain myself from using the high-school military school voice to tell them to shut up, and if I did what that Christian school taught me I must do to be heard --- yell loud enough to ring ears and shake walls --- I'd end up being the bad guy and I'd be arrested when the plane lands. In other words, the preachers are making for a hostile flying experience. Time for refunds. Let the airlines collect from the preachers. If they want to preach to people involuntarily, then they can pay us to listen to them, they can buy the airline ticket.

  • "Thou shalt not kill". They keep proving their own bible is deception. Rules for thee....

  • Wow. Thank you for a well reasoned response. I do consider war and loss of life on a different level of seriousness versus lack of reporting. Perhaps this is a contributing factor to why some countries lack a free press.

  • These are some of the communities I was and still am subscribed to: World News, World News@quokk.au, news@lemmings.world, Global News@lemmy.zip, News, United States | News & Politics@midwest. I am trying my best to avoid giving reddit any personal traffic.

  • People, particularly those in management and upper level positions, are concerned about their career prospects which eclipse any one employer. If you have a temper, like most people do, when your boss makes you angry, particularly in a long-term sense of violation of your basic values, it becomes increasingly difficult to remain reasonable with such people. People quit in part because they're afraid of what they might do if they remain, quitting is the preferable course of action as they desire to have "Resigned" on their employer's workplace history and references instead of "Can't control their temper".
