@JBert Well, here's the thing: Someone complained so the authorities are required to act on that complaint.
And it also might very well turn out that the ultimate conclusion will be: "No need to do something about it."
Too to read the article so I’m not sure it’s about the same one, but there’s already been a verdict about that one case: fuck you, the bell is staying.

@PJH That's unfortunate, my usual response of "let Darwin solve that" doesn't work here. Quite the opposite, the stupid multiply.

@jinpa That exception to free speech then has further exceptions limiting when the rules apply. In this case it seems the bells aren't used to publicly promote Nazism, they're just there and staying there (most likely they're even out of reach for the public unless those churches open up the belltower for visits every weekend).
I guess it makes excellen lawyer fodder.
I was watching last night a video of Dr. David Wood at Apologetics17, and he was talking about how one of his videos was blocked in Germany recently for allegedly being hate speech. I watched the video which was blocked, and it was really very factually-based and there was nothing inherently hateful about it.

Darwin in action...
So, let me get this straight, African elephants are losing genetic information (no more tusks), thereby narrowing their DNA pool, and this is somehow an example of Darwinian evolution (i.e. "molecules to man")? It sounds more like "devolution" to me.
Natural selection? Sure. Evolution? Hardly.

Natural selection? Sure. Evolution? Hardly.Evolution basically means that organisms adapt to their environment via natural selection, and continue to adapt when the environment changes. They're not necessarily losing genetic information - the information is simply changing. It is probable that if poaching was eliminated that their tusks would come back.

@brie Gotta love how "enclosed circuitry" has come to mean "bomb". Rather than some useful heuristic, like explosives.
But enclosing circuitry doesn't turn it into an explosive.

Thus spake Wikipedia:
Early French voyageurs named the range les trois tétons ("the three nipples") after the distinct breast-like shapes of its peaks, from which the modern name is derived.[2]

Natural selection? Sure. Evolution? Hardly.You’re again making a meaningless distinction colored by your what-must-not-be-true-cannot-be-true. There is no higher order that judges the “quality” of evolution, your “devolution” statement makes no sense.
I bet even if your god himself would come over and tell you “yes, evolution is just how I make things work” you’d still find reasons to dismiss all evidence.

She says over the weekend, they received a number of calls from residents concerned about groups of teens pretending to offer shoveling services.
Normandy Police warning residents after porch pirates posing as do-gooders target neighborhood
Several calls and complaints from concerned homeowners poured into the Normandy Police Department after porch pirates hit a neighborhood over the weekend.Home surveillance cameras from residents caught teens casing home and vehicles over the weekend.
Police say the permit is free and it only takes a few minutes to get at city hall.
The more effective "porch pirates" will just go get a permit, then.

@topspin Perhaps collateral damage from the political war that got jeffed.

Yeah, sounds right. Depends when it was jeffed, of course.

@kazitor I think I posted it after the jeffing, but whatever. It could be somebody trying to scroll on ; I've done that. In any case, I'm not going to worry about it
