The value of knowing your neighbors is essentially priceless. Moving from a childhood home into a new neighborhood puts one in a new community of complete strangers, from which it can take decades to develop new neighborly relationships.

Globally, there are at least two relevant definitions in play per Wikipedia:

A child (pl. children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty,[1][2] or between the developmental period of infancy and puberty.[3] It may also refer to an unborn human being.[4][5] In English-speaking countries, the legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, in this case as a person younger than the local age of majority (there are exceptions like, for example, the consume and purchase of alcoholic beverage even after said age of majority[6]), regardless of their physical, mental and sexual development as biological adults.[1][7][8]

It seems reasonable to request clarification as to which definition of child is being used.

Government can't be too hard on Boeing, critical space and defense programs are at risk. I wish it was sarcasm.

Lousiana sure has religious & genital fixations.

That's a bit different depth than the Titanic at 12K feet.

Is Mumin a psuedonym or his real birth name? Wikipedia says "mumin" means "believer" whereas "muslim" means submitter. I'm wondering if this is a caste-based naming system.

How does Louisiana feel about beating the hell out of kids? I wondered so searched and results were primarily about kids being killed by beating. Not quite what I wanted, another search said Lousisana was rankied 49 in child well being. Yeah, that's a little closer, but still not what I wanted. Per the Bible, you're supposed to strike a kid with a rod to save their souls from sheol (which is another word for hell). Search says it's Proverbs 23:14, though I'm not gonna look, there are several different variants. My question is, since the bible actually says to beat the hell out of kids, has Lousiana immunized parents who do so? Or is this just more religious BS? Shove the 10 commandments down kids throats but still jail parents who beat the sheol out of kids? Legal contradictions.

It seems it's illegal to beat the hell out of kids, but that's pretty much what the bible tells parents to do. Posting the 10 commandments is some kind of police state entrapment.

In my studies, the acceleration of housing inflation began around 1973. Back then a house was about $30K.

Let’s start by going back four decades, to 1984. The movie “Ghostbusters” was a blockbuster that year. And the median price of a new home wasn’t so scary: $79,900 in the fourth quarter of 1984, according to data from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

If I could afford to, I'd buy an electric car. Tester shouldn't have to justify this to anyone one, particularly other members of the legislature, who are bullying him. Electric cars are a big part of stopping climate change. If climate change isn't stopped, we're all gonna go extinct in a few more generations. Animals can only survive in a narrow temperature band that doesn't evaporate all the water from the land surfaces. The fossil fuel lobbyists are literally advocating slow genocide, and are undoubtedly behind the bullying. And they'd just call it bread and circuses.

I was curious as to what herbicide was used. The Press Herald reports the herbicide used was Tebuthiuron - Wikipedia.

Another pastoral pedophile. The church has controlled people through demonizing human sexuality, and kids are at the bottom of the pecking order.

Christian Abuse of Children - Bad News About Christianity

And the White House is baffled by Netanyahu's claim about not supplying enough weapons to Israel. Is torture allowed under the Geneva Conventions?

This headline should be in The Onion.

It's been found that wealth reduces compassion.

Filipino sailor lost his thumb. How much longer until a life is lost?

Haven't you heard? Evangelicals are now rejecting the teachings of Jesus.

Kinda sad. As a kid I was sent to private religious (Christian) schools decades ago. The schools' final lesson to me was always expulsion. My parents told me I was going there because the public schools weren't as good and I'd have better success as an adult with a private school education.

Expulsion was not the lesson the PR sold me as a kid. You do not want your children learning expulsion as a primary-survival tactic!

Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like had I only gone to public schools and had never been expelled, but there's no use in crying over spilt milk. Just a few more years to go, maybe a decade if I'm lucky, and the nightmare of a fatally-flawed high-school education will finally be over. I got the last laugh though, they didn't get my kids.

How Money Changes the Way You Think and Feel

Money is clearly harmful. Let's put a warning label on every bill and coin: "Addictive"?

Really disgusting, particularly coming from "law and order" leaders who are turning the U.S. into a police state. I hope we see more articles about this leading up into the election.

I'd also like to see more discussion about striking a number of non-violent crimes. If a criminal and felonious ex-president will have special exemptions to laws that others are expected to follow, doesn't the guideline of equality demand similar treatment for the poor and politically disenfranchised?
