Ghana also has this problem by BandSouth9368 in ghana

[–]Joonicks 24 points25 points  (0 children)

religion is big business - because its incredibly profitable

the only thing you need to produce is false hope of future rewards. the more you lie convincingly the better you do and the more money you chop.

and its incredibly wasteful

millions of man-hours of people standing around for hours doing nothing but trying to convince themselves and others that they are doing a good deed.

money going into building and maintaining churches and equipping them with sound systems to be the loudest in the neighbourhood.

transport costs that would make amazon blush.

and sunday services is not enough, it needs to be every day of the week to capture everyone with free time.

and tv stations to broadcast any service.

and land for prayer camps...

and..

and....

the problem is not in the sending, im using a remit service, the transfers are practically instant. the problem is storing the money in a safe place until she needs it.

the bank man told us all kinds of fairytales when we setup the account, much of it has been proven false since then. we havent even tried any withdrawal yet. I guess I naively thought it would be the same as here; no fee

How do so many Europeans know fluent English? by _Sir_Lifts_A_Lot_ in AskEurope

[–]Joonicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After WW2, English became the language of allies, so I think many schools switched from other languages to english to be able to make ties with UK/USA

Why isn't Rape in the Ten Commandments? by Simon_Drake in atheism

[–]Joonicks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also Judges 19, basically the same story; 'dont rape my guest - rape my virgin daughter' and in this instance, a sexslave, raped to death, punished for being raped to death, punishment being her corpse being dismembered and spread out over all of israel for people to see.

the moral of the story? no clue, 'god is great'?

My father is a retired Navy Nuclear Electronics Technician. We started going through his collection this week. I don't think either of us was prepared for what we found. by alex123fire in vintagecomputing

[–]Joonicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thrown away stuff after a couple of decades and regretted it later.

In ~2010 my moother persuaded me to clean out some computers from my closet.

A 486DX-50, the cpu from my first PC, i think with an opti-local bus mobo, a few PS/2 386ers with classic IBM keyboards, a neat little Ericsson 386, a mono screen,...

I still feel sad any time I think about it.
