Then how did I upvote your comment? WITH AN ARROW. That turned into a finger. THEN BACK INTO AN ARROW.

Was he really 14 or is that just the vibe you got from him?

Salamat po para sa iyong serbisyo. I served as a missionary in the Philippines for the last two years and was able to meet many veterans and shake their hands while I worked there. They were very humble and it's frustrating to see the state of the government there today and how long it took for Filipino soldiers to receive compensation and benefits for their bravery.

My question is, what is your opinion of Oplan Bayanihan and is it an appropriate program?

I'm a baptized member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and it is a really great church. Our objective is to be like the first century Christians with having a faith oriented tradition without the requirements you're talking about. We have two tennants:

1) Where He speaks, we speak. Where He is silent, we are silent

2) No creed but Christ

This lends us to being an open and affirming church, we offer communion to anyone who seeks it, and this all makes the environment really positive and the people who want to be there really want to be there.

I know you said you're non-Christian, but if you'd like a refreshing understanding, us and the United Church of Christ are pretty neat. We Disciples have been a church since the mid-1800s born out of the Barton-Stone movement which is a pretty cool theological approach to faith in itself. Thanks for asking one of our pastors a question and glad you got a good answer! Merry Christmas.

This is what that guy from Nestle was saying that Reddit loves to grab their pitchforks over. Privatizing water sources would put a price on it an allocate it by value and end the tragedy of the commons. Everyone opposes this because they'd have to start paying for what they use...

Edit: when I say people, I'm not talking about just Joe shmoe individuals, but people in agribusiness and manufacturing. For everyone else who gave me very pleasant and nice responses and pm's to go fuck myself, your water bill typically doesn't represent the market VALUE of water; it's a subsidized price.
