Re: 1-Dec-16 World View -- Europeans wonder if Turkey will reopen the refugee floodgates

It is certainly fueling nationalism over here. The avg person does not like Trump or LePen (so they say) but they also do not care for outsiders coming in and causing trouble. John had written a few articles back a few suppositions on which fault line would erupt in Europe and I thought he made a go...

Re: Financial topics

Took a break from all of this. Older age and Cassandra tend to sharpen focus on importance of other things. Watched US election from afar. Seems traditional structures are in collapse. AnnB has good write up on DN highly recommended. FR (among others) is going through same process. Had govt official...

Wells Fargo told to CNN that it had fired 5,300 employees related to the shady behavior over the last few years. The firings represent about 1% of its workforce and took place ...

Re: Financial topics

Step-by-Step Progression More refugees will seek free handouts. Turkey will complain €3 billion is not enough. The refugees will complain €1,000 is not enough. EU citizens will wonder why refugees are getting €1,000 and they are not. Demands for an EU-wide helicopter drop of free debit cards will s...

Let's recall that there are many, many contradictory religions in the world, and at most one of them can be "right," and possibly none of them is right. Maybe the only "right" religion is some obscure branch of Buddhism. So if you were to ask God to give the correct interpretation of the phrase "gr...

Well, if iconoclasts are wrong because "some scholars" say so, then why can't the iconoclast be right, if "some scholars" say so? Couldn't the Jihadis be right, if some or even a lot of scholars say they are right? Yes it was my question really. For Islam specifically, how does one define what is "...

Re: 2-Sep-16 World View -- UK's 'junior doctors' call a devastating 5-day strike against the National Health Service

John another excellent article. For so;eone who I suspect did not major in Journalism I think you are doing a far better job than most of these kids today.
