Uh, they followed all precautions. They sidestepped nothing. Unless the island was fine with cutting off all contact with the rest of the world, it was probably going to happen by some means. Why is this even news? Well, it doesn't really sound like they "sidestepped nothing." That is your interpre...

That link went dead very quickly, I linked it to the AP website now. Hopefully it stays up. And from the article, this may not be the first time missionaries are the source of an outbreak.

I hope the saying is true, there is no such thing as bad press.

Missionaries are now responsible for spreading covid on an island that had zero cases. Kiribati.

Well, the AP got the name of the church correct, so that is a positive.

*** Fixed. Not sure why the other link went bad***

interesting thread thus far. MG, I think the issues that you need to address are as follows: People make up stories and publish them all the time, of all ages, what is so unique about Joseph? What impact does having scribes (like Cowdery) have on adding some form of "polish" to the manuscript? Some ...

Got a link so I can understand your position better? - Doc No, my brother knows firsthand through connections in DC of some nefarious deals he was involved with and I'll just leave it at that.

In general, I think master_dc 's approach is direction in which universities are increasingly moving. Organizations are investing large sums of money to improve these precesses and are finding positive returns for identifying bias in their data. The way "success" is evaluated is ever changing and g...

You're right. You'll note that I'm not arguing for it. I think it's complicated as hell. What I'm arguing for is not shutting down discussions about race and privilege. I'm not even that sure about Critical Race Theory. I just don't think that the screaming against it comes from a place of knowledg...

It seems to me there is actually a ton of common ground here. There aren't many (any?) examples of critical race theory overtly being taught in K-12 in Utah. This seems to be because even the proponents agree that it should be taught in college and not in K-12. And I'll assume that Atlantic Mike an...

It didn’t bother me seeing white people excluded, but when I saw that a huge portion of Asians were also being excluded it set off some red alarms that maybe there is something very wrong with this obsession with race. The ideology seems very similar to what failed so catastrophically in the USSR. ...
