While in general I understand that comment, from a practical perspective I’m not resistant at all. I just never get them as change. What am I supposed [...] As someone commented on the The West’s comment section, “This is exactly the sort of guy who should be eaten by a crocodile…sometimes you need to thin the herd a little.” I agree! The guy is the perfect candidate for pruning via natural selection. From FLIP PRIOR at The West Australian: A man who [...] Fear of the devil is holding up the census in India as groups of religious believers refuse to participate for fear of being associated with an imaginary evil force. The fear of the ‘Beast’ or the Devil in the Christian-dominated state of Mizoram has caused almost 1,000 families to refuse to enroll their names [...] I have a hard enough time talking to a real person on the phone.
