Is it? I mean, 100 years ago you might all be reading different things, with either a record on or possibly the radio. Why is it terrible that now you're all... reading different things together in one room?

The first rule of Christianity is, "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

There is no probation against killing in general in Christianity, only murder, which makes an appearance as the 5th commandment. Murder being unlawful and/or unjustified killing, so clearly wartime killing is a-okay in Christianity.

Now, you could argue that "love thy neighbor as thyself" might implicitly forbid killing, but if you start looking to Christianity for morality or even simple consistency you're going to have a bad time.

.TV is not new. It is a country-code TLD (ccTLD) and has been around since the 20th century.

Which country? (I would guess Mali since you're using a .ml domain... 😉)

Boris literally just made up stories about the horrors of the EU when he was a journalist in Brussels:

He definitely helped set the stage for Brexit.

Which is why the Supreme Court is hearing the case. Two wealthy industries fighting out who gets to extract the most wealth.

It's about respect for the reader or listener. Using correct language eases the burden of deciphering what you are trying to say by using consistent forms. Otherwise it take extra effort for them to unscramble your words and figure out your meaning.

And yes, of course someone can figure out that when you say "me and Mike" you almost certainly mean to say "Mike and I". But you're making it harder for them by not bothering to learn or use the correct form.

I joined the Democratic party in 2016 just so that I could vote for Bernie in the primaries. Oh well.
