The thing is that, according to christian catholic theology, what changes in the wafer is not the form, but the essence. We’re talking about the platonic concepts of form and essence. So the wafer retains the form (taste, shape, chemical composition) of a wafer, but the essence (the thing in itself) is that of…

That’s exactly it. It’s just like how children predators flock to occupations like priest/pastor, teacher, summer camp counselors, etc. They provide easier access to children in a situation where they have control.

Do you have evidence that makes you believe, beyond your own reasonable doubts, that he is not innocent?

Does he really deserve jail time? If he faked a hate attack, at worst, what he did was wasting cops’ time. He didn’t accuse anyone, so he never pushed for punishment against any one innocent person. And as a result, he has just humiliated himself very publicly, and lost all credibility in front of the people who are…

To be fair, it’s very easy to confuse Kirk Whatshisname from Turning Point and Ben Shapiro. Until a month ago, I didn’t know they were two different people.

I’ve heard professionals say that nobody who is raised in a loving and nurturing family grows up to be a monster.

No, you are right. That’s exactly the why victim-blaming exists: it gives you a measure of control and a sense of safety in a scary world that is full of monsters that attack people randomly (random in the sense that they don’t punish people who did “something wrong”).

Of course she wasn’t going to win. She’s from Spain, and the Miss Universe contest is all politics and it’s corrupt. It’s rigged against Spain in particular. Just like Eurovision Song Contest. US, China, France... they all know Spain is the best country in the world so they want to sideline us. Weak!

Reminds me of the time, in WoW, when I swam all the way from the Wetlands (the closest shore to Ironforge) to Stormwind, because i was a noob and didn’t know about the tram that connected the cities. This was right before WotLK.
Didn’t take hours, though. I think it was about half an hour.

There’s absolutely a reason to bring up circumcision when talking about FGM: because when legislation is finally made against FGM, I want it to include circumcision. Because if it isn’t brought up, when such legislation is made, people will say "nah, circumcision is fine" and not include it.

As Rosita said, flamenco is not Gypsy, although the Roma people have made indelible contributions to it. Flamenco as cultural expression is a product of the mozarab culture, and it has undeniable common traits with the Portuguese Fado.

It’s not racial, but also not just regional. It’s definitely a class matter, but also an issue of systemic cultural erasure.

All you said is true. Two other reasons why cultural appropriation regarding flamenco is difficult to assess are:

That’s right. I was shocked when the manager of my campus’ Subway told me that the franchises were the ones that had to bear the cost of the $5 sub promotions.

Eventually, these sex-robots could end up equipped with artificial wombs and artificial or donated eggs.

Well,I support, under the Nordic model, that sex workers should be given a substantial reward for reporting the customers that request their services. A reward that allows them to live comfortably.

How come do you guys call “burros” to the donkeys? Have i been taught English wrong all my life?
I mean, i understand that Spanish sounds better than English, but that can be easily solved by adopting my language altogether ;) not just some spare words.

I understand it’s pretty easy to get out of jury duty. Believing in jury nullification will disqualify you.

I think they are being respectful of the statement being made by the ones kneeling. It’s like when you are a white person in a BLM demonstration: it’s not your place to take the loudspeaker or to shout, you should just stand silently, in solidarity. Kneeling down is making a statement, and it would be disrespectful of…

Wow, chill out, this is a weird place to come make américa great again
