Litmus Tests
Submitted by Wayne on Thu, 2008-09-04 08:06. PoliticsDo you have any litmus tests for political candidates? That's rhetorical. I know you do. Everybody does, even if the litmus tests are very basic (e.g., must be human and not dead). I finally decided to write mine down. » read more »
When Israel Strikes Iran
Submitted by Wayne on Tue, 2008-09-02 14:47. Israel | WarWhat will happen when Israel strikes at Iran's centrifuges and, likely, their shiny new heavy-water reactor? Obviously, Iran will counter, putting to the test their grandiose military claims. I would find it difficult to believe Israel will escape unscathed, but I know they have a decent anti-missile defense (though not perfect, I expect). » read more »
WW3: Armageddon?
Submitted by Wayne on Tue, 2008-09-02 09:48. Israel | Politics | WarThe U.S. and Russia are reviving the Cold War. Russia upped the ante by threatening to sell the S-300 to Iran. This would essentially force Israel's hand. Israel would need to strike Iran before this air-defense weapon went into service. » read more »
Called To Public School
Submitted by Wayne on Tue, 2008-09-02 07:26. Doctrine | Holiness | Homeschool | ParentingI have numerous Christian acquaintances who insist upon having a calling to put their children in government schooling. Might they be right about this calling? If not, why not? » read more »
Government Socialization
Submitted by Wayne on Mon, 2008-09-01 08:41. HomeschoolThis is a 10-year-old's (fifth grade) take on socialization in government schools:
I don't like the fact that we don't get any social time. We [sic] only time we're allowed to socialize is at lunch, at recess (which we only get 15 minutes of), and in the Girl's Bathroom. A lot of the girls in my class go to the bathroom a lot just so they can socialize. I've done that once, and I din't really have to go to the bathroom.
How very sad.
Engineers and Overhead
Submitted by Wayne on Thu, 2008-08-28 07:53.The subject came up at work, and I got to thinkin'. Engineers typically abhor overhead. If he's a programmer, writing code is productive while most everything else is overhead. If he's a hardware designer, schematics and possibly layouts and parts selection represent productivity. Things such as status reports, quality control, meetings, and record-keeping are usually deemed distractions to his "real" work. » read more »
Certification vs. Degrees
Submitted by Wayne on Mon, 2008-08-25 14:28. StupidityThe problem with Vox's apparent preference for certification is that such processes are just as bogus as any degree. I cannot begin to describe how many times I've seen UL, ISO, or TL certifications handed out like Tic Tacs...after the requisite bribes and rear-kissing. » read more »
Jury system is broken
Submitted by Wayne on Mon, 2008-08-25 13:46. Justice | LawNeed I say more than this? Jurors who question the legitimacy of unconstitutional or immoral laws are kicked off the jury. In short, we can all rest assured that juries--the last check and balance against government tyranny in the courts--will blindly obey the will of their government masters. How is this freedom? » read more »
Pearls To Swine
Submitted by Wayne on Sun, 2008-08-24 13:15. Church | DoctrineI've been wrestling with whether or not I should talk to my pastor about all the heresies (albeit minor) he preaches or his abysmal understanding of Koine Greek and Hebrew. I was being nagged to do so because I thought I had a responsibility to stand up for truth. However, the Lord reminded me of Matthew 7:6. » read more »
