    Why This Growing Trend?

    As a bit of an optimist, here's my philosophy (and I'm in a playful mood so I'm going to borrow other people's words). “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” – William Shakespeare Because it is always “the best of times and the worst of times”. -Mark 13: 1-8; no wait...

    Why This Growing Trend?

    If you have a 14 yo, you'll know that that's your perspective, not a 14 yo.:) Most kids today want to be social influencers when they grow up, so that tells you where their head is. American kids want to be famous on YouTube, and kids in China want to go to space: survey edit to add: if they...

    Why vegetarianism?

    Since this is the debate forum, how will you feel when the botanists convince us that plants feel pain? We know plants feel things like light, water, gravity. Darwin called it the root brain and plants communicate with eachother via their roots, by sending chemicals to their pals nearby, in...

    Changes in wording 'Absolution' and Act of Contrition, for Lent 2023

    Hi Pearl, I haven't read the official Bishop statement on this, because, to be honest, I feel like the Bishops spend 20 pages to explain a simple change. I always feel like I am that Owen Wilson character in the Bruce Willis movie "Armageddon" lol (where the asteroid is hurling to earth). And...

    Admin question on privilege

    I'm not sure the best place to ask this. Everytime I visit RF, things have changed so it takes a few days to navigate through them. I was in the Catholic dir and wanted to respond to a post, but at the bottom it states. "You have insufficient privileges to reply here." What exactly does...

    Master's in Physics After Computer Science

    lol, same. add to that, I worked at a large Lockheed Martin Campus that I'd have a 15 min walk to get to the Computer building. Then I'd have to take the fortran data and write a speakeasy (precursor to Matlab) program to graph it. When Excel came along, life was so much easier, and although...

    Master's in Physics After Computer Science

    Although not quite the same, the US has something similar at Fermilab (in IL) This website lists all the US sponsored national labs to give you a feel for the types of jobs out there. The National Laboratories | U.S. Powerhouses of Science and Technology

    Master's in Physics After Computer Science

    I don't know much about physics, but I can say this about chemistry...if you know both chemistry and computers right now, you are golden. I'm old school enough that I had to write my own programs to get a machine to collect data. But today, Instrumentation companies need people who understand...

    The bible and slavery - please post direct passages from the bible that you believe support slavery.

    acceptable then? Ha! some choose it today. Marxism denies everyone individual rights. And just like some of our (US) plantation owners denied rights with boots to the neck, too many Marxists have done it that way for me to want to join that club.
