@FaytuksNetwork Sorry, its not disinformation to say that Spain just granted amnesty to almost a million people. People respond to incentives and want to get in on the next wave.
Nobody will submit to an authority which does not act with the authority granted to it by the Holy Spirit. The church has moral stances that it must act on.
If you want people to learn proper submission, provide something to submit to. Clarity is insufficient, God calls for shepherds.
Father, until the Church acts, it will continue to get worse. We can pray for the countless thousands of people this will kill, we can pray for wisdom from our leaders and for maternal love to prevail, but the woman you bemoan claims to be part of the Church. Failing to correct wayward sheep is the mark of a bad shepherd.
@CynicalPublius Your framing is weak because it is fundamentally about imposing morality through law on the immoral. A basic reading of christian conceptions of freedom would give you most of the answers.
Easy:
1 - The "right" to goon on the internet and sell pictures of my nether regions to others
2 - The "right" to gamble away my family's security through sports betting
3 - The "right" to defame public figures so long as I don't have "actual malice"
4 - The "right" to murder unborn babies
5 - The "right" to take out short term loans at 25%+ interest rates
6 - The "right" to lie about possessing military honors
7 - The "right" to worship Satan
8 - The "right" to maximize shareholder value at the expense of dignified work for the middle class of the country
9 - The "right" to smoke weed and rot my brain out
10 - The "right" to sell children like commodities through surrogacy
I could go on
@TheIntelFrog I see the vision with it. Power draw for radar, EW, and next gen weapons systems were pushing the power plant of non-nuclear ships too far. DDGX is probably still happening but clearly they were having problems getting the power capacity they wanted.
@cremieuxrecueil@MentisWave The axiomatic good idea of it is clouded and destroyed not just by bad actors in the candidates and companies, but the second order effects of importing mercenaries with no attachment to the local culture and granting them access to the benefits of citizenship.
@TheOvertonShift You put up a good argument for it, but it hinges on those experimental weapon systems. I don't think these concepts are mature enough for a quarter trillion dollar bet. Additionally, DDGX getting cancelled will mean we lack a strike group mainstay to fill the complex.
@mattforney Gotta wipe ticks off the face of the earth, but you're missing the mark. Camping is good to do a few times as a kid, strip away civilization and get some perspective on how good we have it. Lot of good second order stuff like self-sufficiency and outdoor skills.
