Why doesn't #21 get a rating?
I assume because it can be interpreted as "I don't remember," which is unscoreable, not "there were no attacks," which is of course what he meant and false.
Shorter: he might be stupid or amnesiac and not lying.
Stuff not to tell joe.
/I would prefer at least 1 opposite sex in the relationship
The German parliament, or Bundestag, on Friday passed a bill legalizing same-sex marriages in a snap vote that made it onto the agenda before the summer break after a surprise shift by Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The bill passed by 393 to 226, with four abstentions. Merkel herself voted against the bill, although her comments helped bring it about.
However, more than 70 members of Merkel's conservative bloc must have voted in favor of the bill for it to pass.
At least It Was done legislatively, not judicially.The good guys win a round.
Now will the German bishops refuse the Church tax in protest? Nah. Didn't think so.
Is that a tax collected by the state for the churches or a tax collected by the state on the churches? The latter aint a bad idea at all.
former. and it's YUGE, but, IIRC you have to be a registered Lutheran or Catholic. Now, the dear bishops have decreed if you don't pay the tax, you can't receive the sacraments.
Flippin hypocrites.

Ours was done legislatively. A tad under 149 years ago today in fact!
I wouldn't say that's empirically true. Otherwise we wouldn't have needed a SCOTUS court case to rectify the situation, and Minnesota wouldn't have had to hold its various votes over the six (eight?) years to affirm them at the state level.
Not that old. You have to pay to go to CCD (not cheap) in order to get OK'd for the sacraments in our locale in the Catholic Church. The Lutherans are freeeeee!Pay to pray. That's new. Well, it's bringing back something super old.
