If you can't trust The Daily Mail, who can you trust: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13328017/utah-school-bomb-threat-furries-mt-nebo-student-protest.html And yes, it is the most complete, and I believe accurate story I have seen on the subject. (Maybe I just like it because it affirms the...

That idea is a couple of years old at least, and yeah it's absolute bullshit. There's a new wrinkle this time, though. Over the last couple of years, there were incidents where someone said at a school board meeing, "What next? People identifying as cats?" or, "I heard that there's a...

I thought about putting this one in the "headlines that signal stupid" thread, but I just don't know what to make of it. It seems, though, that it might be an "only in America" type phenomenon. "School district responds to rumors of kids identifying as 'furries' after studen...

My workplace cafeteria actually has very good food, and today there was a great salmon dish. I thought about Friday fish day, and its relation to this thread topic. What I'm referring to is taking an idea from religion and totally distorting it, but still claiming virtue. So, Catholics weren't allow...

Although I can't see the threads anymore, I can still see the membership statistics. It looks like there has been a significant jump in active members, following years of steady declines.

The health toll from the promotion of unhealthy foods is something we are just beginning to feel. I have certainly read that "experts", (I hate that word because in pop media it's never sourced, so maybe they aren't experts at all) predict lower life expectancy as obseity-related diseases...

speaking of the devil, this little video is worth seeing if you weren't already aware of the insidious conspiracies of the shit-food industry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAgn5R3EUnU&ab_channel=MorePerfectUnion (I've been aware of this since childhood because my father worked for a food com...

Indeed, but the problem with this is in determining what God wants. The Catholics have the answer to this too, of course, in the extensive hierarchy through which the wants of God are interpreted, but you get into the more Protestant sects and their "personal relationship" with God, and p...

Good thing the whole mess is a myth. Of course, God judges people in the way that we think we should judge people, because God was created in our image, or in the image of whatever culture came up with whatever god they set up as judge. We, too, mostly give people some sort of credit for doing good...
