The meaning was more that Bible scholars are needed. And they have a hard work!

That’s exactly what an IT person would say to hide the fact they watch what I do on my computer!

So how would the judges be appointed under this system and why is it better than having them chosen from the people?

By competition and diploma. A judge is a legal technician. Why elect him on political bases? We do not elect an engineer on political criteria, we take the one who seems the best among the candidates.

If the current system hasn’t prevented political influence, then the method of choosing obviously isn’t guaranteeing unbiased judges anyway, so what’s the point in keeping it as opposed to elected judges?

What’s the point to elect them?

Strong and diverse press, strong and enforced rules against politically motivated decisions. A judge should know that, if they don’t strictly follow the law, they’ll lose their job. This won’t make the thing perfect, but far better than officially political judges.

If reincarnation is a thing, I hope I’ll marry my wife again in the next life. And all the following ones.

You follow the tankie definition of fascism? “Everything at the right of the bolshevism is fascism”?

You have no idea of what fascism is.

That’s not the point. The point is: Ukraine is a normal country, nor a fascist hellhole nor a perfect Paradise. Their national symbol is also used by its far right, today and during the WWII; just like all other countries under the Nazi rule in Europe. And just like all other countries under the Nazi rule in Europe, they continued to use their national symbols after the WWII.

Vichy France of Pétain participated in the Holocaust too. France still use the fasces, the same anthem and the same flag.

And the tryzub didn’t mean fascism when it was firstly adopted by the (menchevik communist) Ukrainian People’s Republic in 1917…

Symbols have more than one meaning… The word “fascism” comes from one of these symbols: the Fasces. However the fasces are still used by France:

Or by the US:

Are these countries fascists just because they use the Fasces? Of course not. They have other meanings. It’s the same with this Ukrainian symbol.

I don’t know for the AUR, but the regular repos seem to be already accessible. You can try them with pacman, but the installed packages will be deleted at the moment of the update, or you can create a custom image and add the wanted packages which will be reinstalled at every update.

It’s half baked: like the post says, it’s the first testing version. It will be developed more, like a member of the team said:

Our plan is definitely for it to become an official variant of Manjaro. With the community testing version we’re now gathering some feedback on what people expect from such a variant and what should still go in there or what could be slimmed down.

It’s clearly not ready.

Oh that’s a fun idea! I may try it.

The article is quite good, I just disagree with this sentence :

Proof of this came just a few days after the NFP’s victory, when she co-signed an op-ed calling on the left to compromise with Macron so that a centrist majority could emerge — in other words, to betray left-wing voters

That wasn’t at all the idea of this op-ed. It was a call for concessions in order to govern, not to create a majority with macronists. For some, any concession is a compromission…

They are probably like me, thinking that the year 2000 was 10 years ago.

I don’t know why we’re debating when I have the impression that we agree and are saying the same thing?

Yes, I did, because you know, America is not the whole world. I was speaking about school chaplaincy in general.

Secular France has this kind of chaplains

It’s probably an unpopular opinion, but if public school chaplain positions are open to everyone, if they provide spiritual counsel to students who want it, without proselytizing or coercing students into religious activities, and if their work is controlled by the school to stay sure they don’t contradict scientific teachings and respect the psychological development and freedom of children, they can be a good thing. Secular France has this kind of chaplains, and it’s great; somehow I don’t believe it’s possible today in Florida.
