    Would you support taxing churches?

    Maybe churches should hire financial engineers and set up offshore trading entities, bouncing money around endlessly so they can avoid paying taxes without having to jump through government hoops.

    Do you wear a cross or a crucifix?

    You'd love one of the guys around here. He has a shaven head and full sleeve tattoos on both arms (it's been a while since I saw him, I think he also has tats on his neck). I think some of the tats are prison tats, he's certainly done at least one spell in jail. Except now he's a church...

    Which city will you not visit because of safety?

    I guess the eternal question is knowing where the bad areas are. Too bad if you stray into a bad area without realising your mistake. That said it never ceases to amaze me how many people you see walking around with headphones on looking at their phones. Even if you live in an area you're...

    Which city will you not visit because of safety?

    From what I've heard about troublesome cities in the USA it seems you can go from the good areas that are perfectly safe to the bad areas where you'll potentially get shot within a couple of blocks. In European cities it's not always all that different, with the rider you're not likely to get...

    Would you support taxing churches?

    We should be reducing taxation rather than increasing it. If we can have nonprofits that don't pay taxes I don't see why churches should have to pay. If a church is clearly not meeing the guidelines for being a nonprofit it may be possible to make a case to tax an individual church but it would...

    Do you wear a cross or a crucifix?

    I wear neither. I don't like things hanging around my neck.

    Ceiling fans

    Six that are actually mounted on the ceiling and connected. Another four in reserve ready for when I finish the rooms I plan to put them in. Edit: I forgot the outdoor fan, so that's seven mounted and four ready to mount.

    Annoying thing about your town/city

    Just be thankful you don't live in a growing suburb. At the place I used to live there was street parking only with no restrictions. It was OK when we moved in but by the time we moved out all the local kids had cars. When each house has one car, a few have two and a few have none, it works...

    Annoying thing about your town/city

    Reminds me of a little town I visited, that had parking meters. The cost to park for 30 minutes was 5c. Yep, you had to feed a single nickel to the machine. I often wondered how it could be cost effective to pay someone to collect the nickels, or how much business the area might have lost if...

    Is the US headed for a Recession?

    Or, if it happens when the Democrats are in charge, it's because of the reckless economic policies of the previous Republican administration. Doesn't matter how long ago it was.

    Should poor people have kids

    One problem is that you never know what the future holds. What happens if you have a couple who is reasonably financially comfortable but then suffers the kind of accident or illness that causes the income to dry up? It doesn't change the issue of couples who have six kids they can't feed...

    Should poor people have kids

    In an ideal world people probably would avoid welfare. But if you can get as much on welfare as you would get by working, it's easy to see why people decide not to bother working. There's enough shouting going on about why unskilled jobs should pay $15/hour, it's easy enough to see why people...

    Charcoal - Stravinsk, is about to die...

    I was thinking more along the lines of issues with the boiler rather than the flue itself, although a blockage in the flue would certainly do it.

    Should poor people have kids

    I guess there are two questions mixed together here. The first, the one presented, is whether poor people should have kids. That's a personal decision. The related question is what responsibility, if any, society has to keep handing over ever-more welfare to families who keep popping out...

    Charcoal - Stravinsk, is about to die...

    Seriously, don't get too caught up in this whole "media" and "big utility" stuff. You can get CO poisoning from a badly maintained natural gas boiler even if you are paying the $$$ to the utility companies, so it's not as if paying big bucks to utility companies will save you from it. If...
