Charity is an expression of generosity and love. It's what a Christian would comfortably identify as 'agape' or 'Zakat' by a Muslim. Even Mahatma Gandhi propounded the socio-economic philosophy of "Trusteeship" according to which mutuality and well-being shall be the rule of the society, where men learn to live together in goodwill for one-another. A type of brotherly love for the other. Charity is less about the end result and more about the expression.

Social security, on the other hand, is about, which in turn creates a stable and productive society. It's about making sure that everyone has a place to live, food to eat, potable water, basic healthcare, etc. It ensures that people aren't dying in the street, helps keep down disease and revolt and all the other social ills that societies have dealt with throughout the ages. Social security, in addition to being an individual good for the people who receive it, is a social good. In welfare, it isn't just the gesture that counts, it's the actual result and the stability that creates. It's important to understand that charity and social-security serve two related-but-distinct purposes. They both are mutually reinforcing, not competitive. | https://www.quora.com/Is-charity-better-than-social-security-as-a-means-of-helping-the-genuinely-disadvantaged |

Young folks need to understand that some people base their believes on empirical scientific evidence, and some base their beliefs on faith. Neither approach is “wrong.” This issue was brought up during my Biology class, during my freshman year in high school (a private Christian school.) Our teacher possessed a masters degree in biology, and was a devout Christian. The theory of evolution was covered in our textbook, and it was obviously presented to us from a scientific standpoint. Before we started discussing this chapter in class, our teacher told us that the scientific theory of evolution would be discussed in the class, as it was presented in the textbook. Despite his own religious beliefs, he did think that it was appropriate to discuss this topic from a non-secular standpoint. | https://www.quora.com/Is-human-evolution-real-Is-there-actually-a-proof |

Common practice seems to dictate that as the word ‘Good’ begins the sentence, and as such has a capital letter, that the word ‘Morning’ should be treated the same. Personally, as ‘morning’ is a common noun (there are an unlimited number of them), I see no logical reason to distinguish it. If you were referring to the greeting in later conversation with a friend, would you say, “Jim wished me ‘good morning’ earlier.” OR “Jim wished me ‘Good Morning’ earlier.” ? I prefer the former, unless it was unheard of for Jim to wish anybody a good morning - ever, in which case I’d want to give this one some extra emphasis. Just thinking out loud here.

Originally Answered: ' Good morning' or 'morning' which is more appropriate? Say “I validate your existence in this presence moment”
This removes the societal repetitive norm of nonsensical phrases of assuming the morning is good. Also removes the bias of using morning as the only time of day to address someone in a formal manner when seeing them for the first time of that day. 931 views

Is it true that Conservatives believe in a strong central government while Libertarians do not? It is probably not true. In fact, it is either an incomplete or a meaningless question. And I am not certain what “believe in” might mean. From what I understand: Conservatives generally recognize that traditions embody the distilled knowledge obtained by the social and economic experiences of past generations, that these practices and institutions would not have become traditional unless they served human welfare. Traditions are metis, the wisdom, cunning and craft of the common people. Though the mechanisms that led to the benefits may have been forgotten and the traditions themselves may seem to make no sense, the mere existence of traditions demonstrates that they are, or were, valuable to human well being.

Is it true that Conservatives believe in a strong central government while Libertarians do not? Generally yes. Conservatives tend to favor a large military and strong morality laws, although they do tend to prefer lower taxes.

When it comes to this, actually, Libertarians believe in an extremely strong and centralized government, just a smaller one.

A lot of people are taking this as an opportunity to espouse their own political beliefs in thinly veiled attempts to make “the other guys” look cruel and/or stupid. But the reality is that the majority of people are trying to do what’s best for everyone, including people in other states. Let’s compare two theoretical states. Liberafornia and Conservassippi. In Liberafornia, people believe that women have a right to abortions.

Depends on the situation. ONE SHOULD NOT TRY TO INTERPRET A LABORATORY TEST WITHOUT A CLINICAL HISTORY. For instance, in the first few days after birth, the white cell count can rise to levels that would be extremely high for an adult, and decline only slowly over weeks. Or to consider another analyte*: Our head of chemistry was talking about laboratory values and asked how we (his audience) would interpret a high-appearing value for plasma alkaline phosphatase. | https://www.quora.com/Is-it-unlikely-to-have-an-elevated-WBC-count-if-you-have-the-flu |

Content: You want to enhance the all-beef dog, not camouflage it. Ketchup is what parents smother over everything to make kids eat their food, after all. Another idea: The dislike goes back to the early days of baseball, when to protect patrons from sugar-loving yellow jacket and flies, hot dog vendors only carried mustard with them. Thanks, guys. People are pretty frank about the horror that this pairing creates. “ Ketchup on your hot dog is the end of the world,” says Bill Savage in the Chicago Tribune. Savage gave a “Ketchup: The Condiment of Controversy” talk at the Chicago Hot Dog Festival last summer.

Content: When was the last time some said something sarcastic to someone powerful, famous, rich… etc etc. It doesn’t happen. Sarcasm is negative because it’s nothing more than am indirect primitive instinctual social tool used to test someone’s mettle, intelligence and influence. People also use it to subconsciously belittle someone in a social situation in order to raise their own rep among the “tribe”, social gathering or friends. Sarcasm, among friends can build bonds if used lightly and without ulterior motive. As an indirect form of communication, it may be easier to communicate a problem or solution in the form of sarcasm in order to “poke” or “nudge” your loved one into doing the right thing. Some people are more sensitive to it than others because of their own personalities a

It can be very funny and appropriate, but it can also be very offensive. It all depends on the context and the people you are addressing to (how receptive they are to sarcasm). Generally, know your audience before being sarcastic, because it can be touchy. Sarcasm among friends is ok, but if you want to be sarcastic to your boss, either be really funny so he will laugh or don't say it at all. 390 views

Let us consider an example by looking at a human made thing, for example, a painting (our world, nature). If there is a beautiful painting in front of you, you will start admiring its beauty. The various orders, messages, the emotions in it etc. Finally you would like to know about the artist who made it. You might even try to meet him in person and try to know how that person thinks. If I tell you that no one made the painting, it came out of nowhere and for no particular reason, you will criticize me or call me a maniac. The same analogy goes with science.

Content: These things are so precisely made, so elegantly balanced, and so beautifully prepared that anyone who has did some digging in any kind of a fundamental field will ponder about who made these things. If a simple painting, a symphony or an art isn't made without a propose, how can such a balanced, beautiful and practical world come out without a purpose? Though the reason for the existence of the universe is still a mystery, I am sure everything, even a simple meteor or a grain of sand, is there to serve in a process and follow the planning of an omnipotent being. And that reason of existence will be discovered by science. Science isn't god. Its the tool of God to start the journey of mankind ( or maybe aliens too) and take us to a state where we will know, see and connect everything happening in the universe. We will be able to answer everything. And when that happens, I can't imagine what will happen after that. Vic Newman

My great, great, great grandfather is Micheal Barrett was one the people who formed the Irish Republic Brotherhood to get England out of Northern Ireland. This group broke up and later became the IRA. Micheal Barrett was later killed by being the last last person publicly hung in London, England. Sadly today former IRA solderers are being killed by their own! The IRA today is more of a radical political group. | https://www.quora.com/Is-the-IRA-still-active-in-Ireland |

Depends on what you mean by active. Lynchings and cross burnings have pretty much disappeared. They are only about 8,000 people strong in a nation that boasts over 350 million people. There is no central organization that coordinates the local chapters. So, yes, there is a KKK. They are just a shadow of their former selves. An old dog with no teeth. 715 views

Although the federal government made significant inroads into the group in the past two decades with numerous prosecutions and even getting the leaders of several groups to turn informant, they have been unable to completely eradicate the group as a functioning entity. This is because it has adapted to changing times, because it was already entrenched in multiple criminal enterprises and because the New York City region has numerous illicit sources of income for anyone seeking to become wealthy by tapping into them. The group consists of five “families” which are based across the five boroughs of the city itself, Long Island and some areas of Upstate New York. The groups in New York City itself have also increased their presence in neighboring Northern and Central New Jersey which used to be the exclusive territory of the DeCavalcante crime family which is based in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The DeCavalcante’s (the group upon which the US television series The Sopranos is based) was decimated by federal prosecutions and turncoats and is more of a large Mafia crew or borgata than it is a functioning individual entity. While criminal prosecutions, internal betrayals and changes in the business structures have weakened the American Mafia, there is simply no way to bring it to an end. | https://www.quora.com/Is-the-Mafia-still-active-in-New-York |

They do research to serve their agenda because they are funded by those powers. If you believe the comments made on Reddit by Americans about the Middle East you would conclude that a lot of Americans believe that violence against civilians is not only justified but demanded.

What's the difference between Pew Research and Gallup? The short answer: Gallup is a for profit business, Pew is supported by a private philanthropy. But there’s a lot more to the story. In the early to middle 1930s George Gallup (1901–1984) was one of three men, along with Elmo Roper (1900-1971) and Archibald Crossley (1896-1985) who, working independently, simultaneously created the methods employed in public opinion survey research. They did this as for profit businesses, and they established organizations that became the training ground and model for generations of researchers who came after them. All three of their stories are interesting. | https://www.quora.com/Is-the-PEW-Research-Center-biased |

Gallup’s story is he started a company in Princeton, New Jersey in 1935 which he called “American Institute of Public Opinion”.

His legacy, now named “Gallup”, is still a leading research company and “The Gallup Poll” remains one of the most important social, political, and cultural surveys, continuously chronicling public opinion for over 70 years. Pew Research was created by a philanthropic trust, the extremely generous gift of the Pew family, heirs to the fortune of Joseph Pew (Sunoco). Their founding director, Andy Kohut (1942-2015) is another revered figure in public opinion survey research, who significantly contributed to the standards, practices, methods and professional ethics of the industry. The organization Andy left behind is one of the most respected research entities in the world. Unlike most very large and powerful “think tanks” they are non-partisan, the have no particular ideological perspective, and their culture of scrupulous attention to correct methods and best practices are model for professionalism in the industry. | https://www.quora.com/Is-the-PEW-Research-Center-biased |

What is the significance of the Pew Research Center's worldwide survey of Muslims concerning their views about Sharia Law?
Content: His legacy, now named “Gallup”, is still a leading research company and “The Gallup Poll” remains one of the most important social, political, and cultural surveys, continuously chronicling public opinion for over 70 years. Pew Research was created by a philanthropic trust, the extremely generous gift of the Pew family, heirs to the fortune of Joseph Pew (Sunoco). Their founding director, Andy Kohut (1942-2015) is another revered figure in public opinion survey research, who significantly contributed to the standards, practices, methods and professional ethics of the industry. The organization Andy left behind is one of the most respected research entities in the world. Unlike most very large and powerful “think tanks” they are non-partisan, the have no particular ideological perspective, and their culture of scrupulous attention to correct methods and best practices are model for professionalism in the industry. In my personal opinion, Pew continues to provide some of the most useful insights into public opinion regarding social, political and cultural matters. Related Answer

This is similar to what the Pew Reseach Center does. You, as a cashier, simply collect the money ( Pew Research Center collects the data) and you give it to the store (Pew Research Center reports the results). In contrast, if you were a cashier and earned a commission for every piece of fruit sold, you would benefit from knowing how many pieces of fruit were sold, therefore you would have an interest in knowing what people were purchasing. You would have an incentive to collect the data on what people were buying, and depending upon your honesty, would be willing to distort the results of how many pieces of fruit consumers were purchasing. | https://www.quora.com/Is-the-PEW-Research-Center-biased |

Is there any moral justification for our Progressive Income Tax System? There are two distinct forces at play in this debate and I will make my case for "NO" for the answer to this question: • The State's definition of fairness
Versus
• The Individual's right to freedom
A state can mandate whatever it collectively decides is "fair" and an individual has the inalienable right to "freedom". These two positions can be diametrically in opposition of each other. As colonies in North America the population was ruled by King George of England. Taxes to support the British Empire were necessary, and heavy handed.

Is there any moral justification for our Progressive Income Tax System? The OP is asking for justification for a progressive taxation system (higher earners pay a higher percentage) as opposed to a flat margin tax (all earners pay the same percentage). Going by the moralist argument being given here (peole who earn more can afford to pay more!) if a government charged a flat margin (say 10%) on all income, then people who earned more income would still end up paying more tax in absolute dollar terms then those with lower income. But then again - a flat lump sum tax would have its own justification.

The wealthiest 1% of the tax payers pay 39% of all income taxes. The wealthiest 5% pay 60%. Meanwhile, the bottom 50% pay only 3%. Presumably, these are also the ones that receive the most benefit from social welfare. Nevertheless they represent 50% of the votes. Members of Congress need votes to be elected. Using the above it makes good politics to propose increases in social welfare to please the 50% of the voters, and propose increases in taxes that affect the wealthiest 5% to pay the bill. | https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-moral-justification-for-our-Progressive-Income-Tax-System |

Content: Progressive taxation is an attempt to share the burden of taxation fairly, even if this is not the same thing as sharing it equally. As Claes-Bertil Lewau describes in his answer, it’s often implemented as different tax bands, so the higher rate of tax only applies to income above a certain level - NOT to the individual’s entire income. So, with few exceptions (e.g. losing eligibility to a welfare benefit above a certain threshold), if you earn more, you still take home more. That’s the ‘how’. As for the ‘why’ - if you have an income of £30,000 per year, and your neighbour has an income of £3,000,000 per year, you could have a flat-rate tax, of, say, 25%, and you would be left with £22,500 for the year, and your neighbour would be left with £2,250,000.

Is there any moral justification for our Progressive Income Tax System? There is no moral justification of a progressive income tax. The progressive tax is an attempt by progressives to create a moral equivalence between Progressivism and Religion. But it does not equate. Religion creates a moral imperative to care for the poor or risk losing salvation. The key component for a religious charity is that the value be given freely without coercion. Certain Charities perform services that cannot be duplicated by government, they are all voluntary. | https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-moral-justification-for-our-Progressive-Income-Tax-System |

Certain Charities perform services that cannot be duplicated by government, they are all voluntary. ALSAC/St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Shriners Hospital are key examples.

What is your source for unbiased news?
Unbiased:

Content: Originally Answered: Can a news source ever truly be unbiased? I’d suggest that many strive for that and some come close, but the short answer is probably no. Aside from the obvious - Fox/MSNBC, for example - it’s not always in the right-left ways you might imagine. Journalists are a little biased against whoever is in power, just as excited about Bill Clinton’s blue dress deposits and Anthony’s Weiner as they are about old assault allegations against a SCOTUS nominee. And they (or their editors) are absolutely biased in favor of drawing a crowd. It’s how advertising gets sold. The Associated Press - serving media outlets of all stripes - may come closest, but much of their material gets rewritten by the time it reaches you. The more subtle way is in story selection, placement, and headline writing. An individual story can be absolutely even-handed but buried in the bowels of the newspaper, magazine, website, or broadcast. | https://www.quora.com/Is-unbiased-or-non-biased-correct-and-why |

Unbiased:
Biased:
Content: Maybe there is a financial return. Maybe it makes them more comfortable in the social groups they belong to. Maybe they haven’t thought the matter through, and could be reasoned with. Then there is the concept of belief, which is related to bias. Belief is often based on either an incomplete set of facts, true or not, or sometimes on no facts at all. We tend to connect the dots (rationalize) through to a conclusion based on that incomplete set of facts, and then hold that conclusion to be true. Beliefs are a form of bias that can be very difficult to rationally argue with, since people are often reluctant to let go of their conclusions, which would be an admission that their rationalization was incorrect. Some beliefs can have dangerous consequences in some cases, because they are out of sync with the real world. Other times beliefs can serve a useful purpose when we are not in a position to get all the facts but we still need to make a decision. Of course that decision could be wrong, but it could also be right! | https://www.quora.com/Is-unbiased-or-non-biased-correct-and-why |

In certain jurisdictions, including the UK 's England and Wales and Scotland, a freehold (also called frank-tenement and franktenement) is the ownership of real property, being the land and all immovable structures attached to such land.

Military Technology: What is the best fighter jet for air-to-air combat?
Content: My group (The 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group) was responsible for supporting evaluation tests for various Air Force weapons and weapons systems, and I was able to interact with various U.S. Air Force and foreign fighter pilots on a regular basis. As an aviator myself, I maintained much interest in the capabilities of the new jet. I had the opportunity on a few occasions to ask the pilots, most of whom were current U.S. Air Force F-15 and F-16 pilots, what they thought of the F-22, which had only been operational for a few years at that time. These guys had the opportunity to either fly the F-22, or fly against it in mock battles, and they would go into deep discussion regarding its capabilities, which often seemed a bit like a sales pitch to me. However, when I asked the question “How would you fight an F-22,” their tone and approach to the question changed. I remember vividly how one pilot answered the question. He paused, as if deep in thought, and said: “ One on one, it's really hard to fight one, and if you don't have a visual on them, you're dead before you're even aware you're in a fight” (a ‘visual’ is when you can actually see your adversary). Mock battles between four or five F-15s and a single F-22 were often completely one-sided - in favor of the F-22. Tests have shown too that swapping pilots between the F-22s and the F-15s had little or no effect on the F-22's battle dominance. | https://www.quora.com/Military-Technology-What-is-the-best-fighter-jet-for-air-to-air-combat |

That would depend on the weight of the pork tenderloin. I would suggest purchasing a meat thermometer and cooking the pork roast to an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Also let it rest a few minutes after removing it from the oven so the juices set. 68 views

Some people boil the ribs, then drain them, brown them and then finish them off in the oven. In most cases the meat should fall off the bone. That makes the meat most easily to chew. When I cook ribs, I place them in a roasting pan and cover them with BBQ sauce. I let them stew in the sauce for a few hours. The juices of the meat combines with the sauce and keeps the meat from drying out. As the meat simmers in the sauce, the flavour of the BBQ sauce goes right through the ribs making for a yummy tasty meal. 857 views

Scooby Doo first appeared in the late 60s, at the peak of the hippie era. A ragtag bunch of kids (the jock, the babe, the nerdy chick, and the doofus dude with a Great Dane) get into a blue and green van, and roam around solving mysteries — doesn’t that sound goofy? They are eternally hungry. They’d do anything for Scooby Snacks, including facing their darkest fears.
