Re: Biden vs. Trump
It was not a good night for the United States. I was left thinking it could affect the election, though.

Re: Trump's taxes revealed - this is what he was hiding
Do we only elect persons who are rich enough to donate their salary? Yes. But this was part of Trump's appeal to his base in the Republican primary of 2016. Republicans wanted someone who wasn't beholden to the swamp... Being beholden to financial institutions and oligarch financiers is better how ...

Re: Opinions please
You had two strangers in your house and didn't put on a mask until you saw one of them wasn't wearing one? Yes, that's what happened. In your OP you started down the road of wondering about doing things differently with some hindsight. The rest of the thread is about whether or not you might be los...

Re: Tristan & Hanna’s Inquisition
This reminds me of an excerpt I read from The Three Body Problem detailing the fervor of young revolutionaries in China holding “struggle sessions”. Over a period of forty days, in Beijing alone, more than seventeen hundred victims of struggle sessions were beaten to death: https://www.tor.com/2014...

Re: Can the study of Mormonism ever be the same within or out of belief?

Re: Early Modern English and asserting “proof” of Book of Mormon

Skousen considers this usage of “desirous” to be archaic: ....Desirous ‘desirable’ “for I knew that it was desirous above all other frui...
