  1. Can you please tell me what a few of them are? I truly am curious.
  2. No reason he couldn't be both.
  3. Citation? (Did I use that word correctly?) On another note, why does a lack of education make you wince? Does it apply to children? Those for whom education is not an option? People wincing at the lack of education of other people is what makes me wince.
  4. Some do. https://www.businessinsider.com/spelling-american-vs-british-noah-webster-2018-3
  5. Are you going to answer my questions? You've had three years to work on it.

    Some of the justices seem to be looking to God for guidance rather than the Constitution.
  8. The Supreme Court seems to be going in two different directions as it simultaneously limits early term abortions while making very late term abortions available at local schools.
  9. Does any legitimate court in the world make rulings based on public sentiment over the rule of law?
  10. It is my understanding that things are not nearly that simple. Besides the various types of judicial interpretations you spoke of such as Originalism, or trying to understand the minds of the framers, SCOTUS often refuses to hear cases of relatively new types of legal issues (e.g. online bullying) for years, allowing the will of the people to be heard through local legislation. Only after the court sees which way the wind is blowing will they hear a case that allows them to put their stamp of approval via "interpretation" of the Constitution. In many ways it is not possible to simply interpret the Constitution wrt a particular law, as the Constitution could not foresee the types of issues that might come up. SCOTUS does do the will of the people to some extent.
  11. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
  12. I've heard good things about breathing techniques. Seemed strange at first but it really does seem like it can be effective. Here are a couple of quick links: https://explore.mindbodyonline.com/blog/wellness/top-breathing-exercises-anxiety-depression https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/11/161122182357.htm Also may want to try Forest Bathing. https://time.com/5259602/japanese-forest-bathing/
  13. Again, NO. That is incorrect. I guess I figured that after you "REFUSED" to discuss conflicting ideas with me you weren't really interested. LOL! You're killing me Smalls!
  14. I have seen a lot of fawns up close over the years and never heard one make a sound. One day I let my dogs out at night to pee and they found a fawn. Fortunately they didn't do anything other than try to play with it, but the fawn was freaking out and ran into a corner on my deck. I picked up the fawn and was carrying it near some cover in my yard when it started letting out this loud kind of scream. About 20 seconds later the mother jumped over my fence about 10 feet from me and scared the crap out of me. I of course immediately set it down and it ran off with its mother. That is the only time I've heard one.
  15. Everyone who knows it is not true that "Astrophysicists dubbed this titanic explosion the Big Bang".

  17. Baby deer are also surprisingly loud.
  18. Wrong on so many counts. Please do a little research before continuing to spout misinformation. Condescension is a bad look for anyone, but especially for those who speak from ignorance.
  19. If you are going to continue to lecture to those here it would help if what you said was correct. The beginning of the BB was most certainly NOT an explosion.
  20. Another sign you are blissfully unaware. The neg reps are not for having "a different opinion".
  21. Disease, bullet holes in sensitive areas, rapid deceleration, religious zealots, political zealots, angry girlfriends, stupidity, etc.
  22. The fact that you think the BB was an event that ended over 13 billion years ago shows a serious lack of understanding on your part. It would behoove you to cease dictating what is and is not up for discussion when you are missing so much basic information. It is making you look foolish.
