At least it can control illegal migration. Have you ever tried to get a visa for Australia?

Pakistan is clean. Even impoverished, continually flooded Bangladesh is nowhere near as bad as India.

If we are talking about Auschwitz I/Auschwitz Main, the Germans didn’t even build it. The Austro-Hungarians for decades earlier.

It’s not even blank-slate. It’s just a bunch of contradictory propositions.

Einfühlung.

But there is a valuable distinction to be drawn between feeling others’ pain and understanding that others feel pain.

Yeah. Self-driving share cars in big cities. Golf carts. Not commuter transport.

Some places legislated kerosene lamps away because they’re a fire hazard. Oh wait …

They’re not really worried about incels. They’re worried about volcels.

Why the hell should you need a driving license when you don’t need a horse license or a boat license or a bike license or a scooter license or a ride-on mower license or fireworks license or a gun license? Because a bunch of Luddites in 1900 were scared of cars and envious of their rich owners?

So we agreed all along? It was just a definition-debate?

From the outside looking in, you’re right. It is saying that they have a claim over you forever. If a Jew converted to Islam and then subsequently to Christianity, both Jewish and Islamic law would assert a claim over him forever. His conversion to Islam would be regarded as invalid and a death penalty offense in halacha, and his subsequent conversion to Christianity would be regarded as invalid and a capital offense in both halacha and shariah.

You don’t understand. Judaism isn’t like Christianity. Whether you are Jewish isn’t about what you believe. It’s about the rules of a legal system called halacha.

If you’re born to a halachically Jewish mother, you’re Jewish, and nothing can undo it, even if you go to a Reform synagogue or abandon the religion.

If you’re not Jewish, and you convert under Reform, you’re not halachically Jewish because you didn’t convert under halacha.

May I humbly suggest that you read the Wikipedia page on halacha (if not something more substantial)? Then you will have the information you need to discuss this.
