If you read the Bible and take everything literally, I cannot help you. I assume, however, that you are well aware that certain parts were intended for different audiences or types of believers. Some passages convey a different message than, for example, the Quran or the Torah. As for the meaning of secularisation and the distinction between „religia“ and „ecclesia“, I’ll leave it to you to look it up on Wikipedia or another reliable source.
Where is the widow?
Wasn’t it the Mormons whose founder got some glasses from an angel, which allowed him to read the bible? Well, that is what I call a fairytale.
And Russia or China? What percentage of recidivism you find there? I assume much lower than even Sweden.
You’re movin’ clueless, bro. Nothin’ I’m sayin’ is sinkin’ in, and you ain’t even clocked the situation.
So you want these kids, who killed somebody in cold blood, have TV, gym and fun in the prison in order to convince them that it is a bad idea to do it again, because they may end up in the same situation? Sorry, I was almost choking from laughing.
Great cartoon and so much what is sometimes going on in the job world. In my case:
Chef: You cannot work alone on problems. If you have one, don’t wait, but approach us.
Chef after evaluation of work: You showed little autonomy (without mentioning that it has to do with approaching them when problems).
The language of parentheses is raising its „hand“.
Collecting downvotes?
I worry you won’t see this journalist again. ICE … something something … ICE.
You trippin, bro.
Projects like Graphene OS should be supported by the community as much as possible - financially and with geeks and nerds that want it to keep running independently and without influence of whatever corporate. Cheers.
You’re movin’ like you don’t know the roads at all. Bare white boys get used as fodder. Black gangs are the ones patternin’ the ends.
They are not writing what kind of prisons are these. I hope that these kids have to do each day from very early in the morning to the late evening hard work with two times per day just water, a cheap soup and cheap bread. Nowhere a gym with games, TV and good food. I am convinced that next time they will think twice to do harm to somebody.
I am interested where this is heading to in Russia and hope that Ukraine can continue to keep its ground. Personally have nothing against Russia falling apart.
What fantasy world you livin’ in? You’re talkin’ like you’ve never heard of chings, opps, or where them man come from.
This is how your comment is read: Bla bla bla. My point on my previous comment? Never touched. I guess you did not pass school, which would not surprise me.
You can manipulate statistics in many ways. No totalitarian regime, dictator, or similar system is required for that. Russia and China can currently be considered extreme examples. However, another user below has provided Chinese sources claiming that everything is fine in China. I’ll leave it to you to decide whether you consider those sources trustworthy.
I spent part of my youth living in a country under an authoritarian regime. Crime was very rare, and people generally wanted nothing to do with the security services, especially not with the prison system. Women could walk alone at night with little fear for their safety. Of course, incidents still occurred, but the perpetrators often faced severe consequences. In some cases, a man who beat his wife end up being beaten up by the police - know such cases.
Does that sound like a dream? In some respects, life was not that bad. In others, it was quite the opposite. Why? Because corruption and oppression were also very real possibilities and if you made perhaps rightfully some troubles it could be a tough life for you then, but that is another topic.
