I work with contractors in NYC on a daily basis. In fact, I just completed an NYC Dept. of Buildings site safety management course. These sidewalk sheds (basically protective scaffolding to protect pedestrians from falling objects due to work overhead) have very strict requirements and the contract...

The Ristos I own are hand-made in Ecuador by fairly paid workers. Have had them for 2.5 years and they are a quality product. They are still holding up quite well but I may consider buying a newer pair in the next couple months. yes, ivan and gwen are ethical business people, which is why i wish i ...

i wish i could recommend the ristos, but the quality, customer service and fit are entirely sub par. soles separate, the eyelets fall out, not durable and weeks to get replacements. plus they are butt ugly, clunky, heavy and way too stiff in the forefoot. IMO the adidas power shoe is fine for squatt...

pendlays are made by do-win as are rogues. do- win, according to a someone i know that has visited the factory, is a typical chinese sweat shop operation. he turned down the opportunity to have his own brand of shoes made by them for that reason. do-win and related marques margins here are killer: i...

I'm stunned at the Biblical illiteracy of the modern generation that this could be news. Yes, Christ has a wife. His bride is the Church. He says so about 1,007 times throughout the Old and New Testaments (see Isaiah 54, Matthew 25). In the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Orthodox Church it is c...

the muslim-in-chief approves: President Obama personally intervened on both changes, aides said, approving the statement about Jerusalem and questioning why previous language about God had been removed from the platform in the first place. too bad. teh people should be free to worship teh god of th...

But still, that's not the point, the context is the GOP's social platform and why it is a profound bust as it has been since Reagan. It is a BUST because it is radically out of step with core republican values of personal choice and responsibility. Hell, even that romney-twat Chessman thought it wa...

All Men are Equal before God -> All Men are Equal before the Law . Where in the Constitution is this God-Law formula? The Constitution is a secular document. It starts out with" We the People..." not "God". Certainly Christians and Deists and a couple of Papists were in the mix ...

Clearly a tendency towards obesity has been a huge evolutionary/survival benefit, given how prevalent it is today. I think that is a stretch. Once you procreate, your job is done as a member of the species. If being obese enhances getting your genes into the next generation, then it is an advantage...

Historian Gregg L. Frazer argues that the leading Founders (Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Wilson, Morris, Madison, Hamilton, and Washington) were neither Christians nor Deists, but rather supporters of a hybrid "theistic rationalism". Gregg L. Frazer, The Religious Beliefs of America's Foun...

I agree. I never would have thought that Bush2 and Obama would be tied for worst with Carter IMO. I'm willing to take the chance on Romney because he has a lifetime of accomplishments that mostly worked out well, and from what I'm learning he's never been a rabid ideologue in his actions. I feel ce...

by the "Creator." Textual criticism would be a good thing for you to read up on sometime. Creator was chosen, instead of God (the word and idea of God, namely a Judea-Christian God, existed even back then, you know...), specifically because the term Creator was inherently non-specific in ...

the u.s. constitution defaults to common law, not christianity, when interpreting, say, the establishment and free exercise clauses of the 1st amendment. I never said the Constitution defers to Christianity, but that Christian thought strongly influenced it. The Constitution defines the rights that...

nope. british common law, which predates the christianization of the british isles by a couple of hundred years, is the fundamental model for our form of jurisprudence. Yep. All Men are Equal before God -> All Men are Equal before the Law . Common Law, with its emphasis on precedent, means little i...

Nonetheless....to be an American is to accept that your rights are not a matter of faith, they are a matter of 200 years of jurisprudence`ergo... In large part, the philosophical basis for the Constitution springs from a Christian world view. Each individual has innate value; and governments exist ...
