  The BBC is very matter of fact compared to the US news outlets where the anchors often even look flustered and panicked.

  This is a great observation

  The most disturbing thing about this thread is the title:

  Another mass shooting, three or four hours ago.

  Even though the thread two days old, whenever I see this at the top of Active Topics, it isn't difficult for me to imagine it's about a mass shooting that happened (again) three or four hours ago. . . . .

  Actually, it wasn't directed at you at all. Just a "rule of thumb."

  I love Hume too!

  Maybe I should have been more precise. . . .

  Continental philosophers (e.g. Derrida) tend to raise more questions than they answer.

  Analytic philosophers (e.g. Hume's descendants) tend to answer more questions than they raise.

  And then there's a bunch who "overlap" (hate to use that term!)

  That is my sweeping generalization about philosophers.

  A philosopher's job is to raise questions, not answer them.

  Something to keep in mind when listening to/reading their stuff.

  Watchtower's response to Royal Commission shows they have learned nothing and will do nothing

  by wannaexit in

  2. friends

  i've quickly read through watchtower's submission to the royal commission.

  seems like they aren't planning to change policy anytime soon.

  they are critical of how the royal commission handled the situation.. the tone is of the submission is shear arrogance.

  Just perusing the WT response and reading through the comments, basically what Watchtower is saying is:

  "There is no such thing as a legitimate criticism of Jehovah's Witnesses' policies, procedures or beliefs."

  . . . in other words:

  "WE'RE A CULT!"

  Funny grammar error in German Watchtower

  by processor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  they seem to have laid off their proofreaders.

  in the new 03/2016 study watchtower there is a picture description:a mature young person does not act like a friend of god at the kingdom hall but a friend of the world at school.

  the german issue saysein reifer junger mensch verhalt sich im konigreichssaal nicht wie ein freund jehovas und in der schule wie ein freund der welt.

  Evidently, a new, multi-million euro Remote Translation Office needs to be built closer to native German speaking people in order to get the most accurate translation possible.

  Also required is that the RTO is a lakefront property with a dock, boathouse, boat, swimming pool, sauna, hot tub. . .

  Contin-uous hyphen-ation

  by Xanthippe in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  i know this has been mentioned before, that words at the ends of lines are continually being cut in half and hyphenated.

  i think a suggestion was made and if i could find the thread i would follow it but it may have been removed, i've gone back in 'forum related' topics several months.. i can see it's not just me that it happens to and i have been trying to ignore it because life is too short and all that.

  i'm just starting to find it really annoying now.
