I think this clown missed the class where US Constitution mentions "separation between Church & State".

Coasting0942 ,

No no, my Christian fan fiction says the Founders were really thinking about the Jesus when they were writing that part, so it cancels out.

vonbaronhans ,

Except the US constitution does not include that language. The "a wall of separation between church and state" phrase most notably comes from an 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association. Not a legally binding document by any means.

I imagine you're thinking of the Establishment Clause of the Constitution which forbids the US government restricting the free exercise of religion.

I believe, iirc, the Supreme Court over several decades has affirmed and reaffirmed the overall position that the US government must remain secular and not favor a particular religion. Which is effectively what you're getting at.

You are correct. Though the meaning behind the phrase remains true and biding precedent. If only precedents meant anything in today's court system. They reinterpret the Constitution on a daily basis to suite the billionaire needs whose paying them that day.

WanderingVentra , in USA | Alito Says SCOTUS Should Push Nation Toward “Godliness” in Secret Recording

Well that's terrifying. I'm starting to think you can't have a real democracy without strong recall abilities on politicians. The fact that these people are untouchable in office no matter what we find on them is insane.

@BrikoX While I appreciate the fact that sodium cooling requires less space to build a plant than the former water-based technologies, and that it requires less human intervention to avoid an exclusion-zone-degree accident, I'm not entirely sure how will the Natrium technology reduce nuclear waste to an acceptable level, both of quantity and of safe storage conditions.

sik0fewl , in White House Labels Israel’s Attack That Killed 274 Palestinians as “Successful”

So did NBC News.

Rapidcreek , in USA | Thousands gather at White House for pro-Palestinian protest

I hear Fags for Hamas was represented

Well There's Your Problem episode on how so much rubbish and corpses get up there in the first place.

NoSuchAgency , in Report: US Bombs Used in Israeli Massacre of 40 in Gaza Refugee Camp

Of course it was American bombs...what other bombs do they have?

AnEilifintChorcra , in Columbia Law Review Refused to Take Down Article on Palestine, So Its Board of Directors Nuked the Whole Website

https://static.al2.in/toward-nakba-as-a-legal-concept.pdf

Oh nice, we can all still read it. I would have never seen it if they hadn't taken it down since I don't follow Columbia Law Review

1984 , in Male birth control gel is safe and effective, new trial findings show
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Why do they always use the phrase "safe and effective". Almost as if they are programming people by repeating the same phrase everywhere....

MeowZedong ,
@MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Nah, it's almost as if proving a treatment is "safe and effective" is the entire purpose of a phase ii clinical trial.

If you want pharmaceutical conspiracies to chase, follow the money. The point at which they are trying to "program" you is when the drug hits the market and commercials come out. It's not that these products are ineffective at this point, just that they will do just about anything to capitalize on them.

Pharmaceutical companies are by no means clean and trustworthy, but your conspiracy is literally just a description of marketing and advertising, which I agree is a plague upon our society.

walter_wiggles , in Global pandemic treaty to be concluded by 2025, WHO says

Lol they can't even agree on vaccine sharing.

OsrsNeedsF2P , in Tens of thousands of South Koreans celebrate Pride despite backlash

Seoul's conservative mayor Oh Se-hoon has said he "personally can't agree with homosexuality", but municipal authorities blamed a scheduling conflict and said the venue had already been reserved for an outdoor event themed around books.

It's so funny, because each year there's a scheduling conflict

And his name has been added to a national law enforcement abuser tracking database. /s

corymbia , in UK | James Cleverly suggests asylum seekers are lying about being suicidal

He lives in such a bubble. He has no idea about the real world.

someguy3 , in Orcas are still smashing up boats – and we've finally worked out why

it turns out, orcas – especially the kids and teens – just want to have fun. The report reveals that a combination of free time, curiosity and natural playfulness has led to young orcas adopting this 'trend' of boat-bumping

In recent years, a dramatic recovery in the population of bluefin tuna in the region has been a win for a group of about 40 critically endangered Iberian killer whales that feed exclusively on the large fish. This has meant they've cut down their time spent foraging, leaving space for other 'hobbies.'

filtoid ,

Bring back national service, but exclusively for Orcas, they have too much time on their hands!
