The Amish community I know aren't super strict. They use gas farm equipment and are fine with solar batteries. They just don't want to be on the power grid.

I worked as a baker for a couple years about ten years ago. During the summer, whenever it was raining, we would all take turns going out to stand in the rain for a minute just to cool off. I don't want to imagine what worse would feel like.

When I was in middle school, some girl sang this song at the talent show. Except she didn't just sing any version of Ode to Joy. No, she sang this milk commercial version of the song.

Let's say we do decide to torture murderers. Who is going to torture them? Are we going to pay for these people to have therapy (because they're really going to need it)? How would you feel if you found out your next-door neighbour tortures people for a living? What do we do when we find out, years later, that we've been torturing an innocent person?

I think you need a little more life experience so you can realize that things aren't as simple as you seem to think they are.

My mom didn't let me use a calculator as a kid and I'm really glad now. I can do simple calculations much faster than if I had to use a calculator.

Same with French here in Canada. I took French for six years and I still don't speak it at all, and I actually did really well in my French classes.

I've always been an atheist but I come from a Catholic culture and have thought about this a lot. I feel that religion is kind of like ancient group therapy and the practices have a positive social impact. Gathering once a week with everyone in your community, singing songs and talking about how to be better people just seems like a good idea

I like untangling things. We could work well together.

I like American style pizza more than Italian.
