Someone in love with everything Rand is potentially conflicted.<br /><br />The Atheist Republic stuff about John 3:16 was interesting, for about two seconds, until he claimed Jesus never claimed divinity. Claiming divinity was what got him off side with the Jews and executed.<br /><br />3:16Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-56714307411404060872016-09-11T04:46:49.141+12:002016-09-11T04:46:49.141+12:00I don't see why anyone would necessarily know ...I don't see why anyone would necessarily know where Allepo is, any more than say, Nakhchivan.paul scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675247055484136242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-71913792650139371312016-09-11T03:41:59.696+12:002016-09-11T03:41:59.696+12:00Terrific amount of homework this time
"Inflat...Terrific amount of homework this time<br /><a rel="nofollow">"Inflation" </a> One link I saw // Someone in USA said he was paying $US30,000 per child Montessori. Two children. The article was about comparative expenses over 20 years,like you PC did for CPI. That is, you know TV sets and clothes got cheaper over 20 years, medical high value services more expensive.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow"> I saw in on the tube</a> Yes you can see various Islam thugs and Barbarians on you tube dishing it out. That's evidence. Also their written and verbal promises are evidence. Not too many rapes on the tube, with the girls apologising afterwards, but we know from <a rel="nofollow">Kant </a> that women should not vote or anything really. Islam tick ok on that one.<br /><a rel="nofollow">Brian Eno</a> I still have a piece called " Taking Tiger Mountain by strategy " Eno was good in the tape deck in the car on long drives. Also Gerry Rafferty .<br />I shouldn't comment on everything, but I have to make sure you PC don't slide away into soap like Farrar does sometimes .paul scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675247055484136242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-87554206615902726472016-09-10T03:49:49.854+12:002016-09-10T03:49:49.854+12:00The problem with rights is that our culture has ne...The problem with rights is that our culture has never developed a coherent view of them. In the USA, the view has always been that the term "rights" actually refers to privileges--special perks granted by some entity. Our Declaration of Independence stated they were granted by God, and that left the door open for later politicians to claim they were granted by the government. Once you accept that, it's easy to get you to accept that anything the government says is a right, is a right--after all, they're all granted by the government, right? <br /><br />If our culture would acknowledge that rights are nothing more--and nothing less!--than rules governing interactions between individuals, the anti-concept of a "right" to health care, or a job, or a "living wage", or the like would disappear. Those are not right, because they do not address how two people should interact; the concept of a right to healthcare makes as much sense as discussing the flavor of loud (with apologies to synesthetics).
