@igchampcom Yes. If we want to bend over backwards, we could offer to have her exposed face inspected by a female officer in a private room.

@aroog1278 It's not hair color that determines attractiveness.

@AntiLeftMemes You can run faster than her. Now is the time to do it.

@God_Questioner My understanding is that He judges people on what they DO, especially to others, not what they think or believe.

If God exists, would He value honesty over unquestioning faith?

If we want to address a whole raft of social problems, we can do it with one simple change in employment law. It’s doubtful that it would ever be enacted, but here it is. Change employment law so as to FAVOR discrimination in hiring and promotion for people who are married, and especially, those married people with children!
What would be the result?
*Encourage higher marriage rates by making it easier for people to get employment if married.
*Increase the formation of stable nuclear families, having both a mother and father raising children.
*Increase the general birth rate, remedying declining population rates.
*Decrease the overall divorce rate, since there will be a new incentive to stay together.
*Decrease the occurrence of children raised without two parents, which in turn will decrease the overall crime rate, since such children are statistically much more likely to be involved in crimes.
*Decrease illegal drug use and consequent gang activity supporting it.
*Reduce the poverty rate among unmarried women with children, and resultant welfare burden.
*Make more-responsible people available to employers, since these employees would now have the responsibility of supporting families.
*Encourage a decrease in school dropouts, since staying in school will better enable people to secure employment along with getting married.
*Possibly encourage more religious observance, so that parents would be helped in instilling good moral values to their children.
Up until the middle of the 20th century, this was normal employment practice and all of the above desirable results were realized, but, as I say, in the current cultural climate, it’s unlikely that such a change in the law would be enacted.

@Lunaria_40 If was a straight-up loan, then I'd pay back $200. If, instead, it was some kind of investment, I'd negotiate a reasonable "finder's fee" to keep, and give him all of the rest.

@Will_iam_001 EXODUS. 20:5 "... visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me [and perpetuate the iniquity]" Therefore, the answer is NO.

@God_Questioner One can easily see, from Adam's answer, the he understood that God was asking "Where are you at (psychologically)?", since he answered telling about his state of mind.

@Skeletonkey5555 Hopefully, Artificial Intelligence will gain Artificial Wisdom, the sooner, the better. Without it, that's why we're so scared to let AI control autonomous weapon systems.

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

@RealAshlar We did have another leader like him, only worse, in our lifetime, Joe Biden. If we're fortunate, we won't have another.
