Kentucky to give up to $18 million Tax Subsidy for Religious Nonsense
-
Bevin is a religious nutter so I am not shocked that he would just let it slide on the tax payer's dime.

socialism is evil till it isn't huh? This is why the republican party is so fucking dysfunctional. They'll label someone who talks about socializing education, something that "may" greatly benefit our economy, an evil commie but some state goes to it's taxpayers to foot the bill for a "theme park" and not a peep. A 92 million replica ark? Are you fucking kidding me? 100 amish guys could build it for less than 100k. Guarandamntee the people building that stupid park are related somehow to some donor or something generally corrupt like that. And charging the state 92 fucking million for a wood ship.

If someone said they couldn't join the military for religious reasons, I wouldn't want them to anyway.

Just to clarify Cleve, Ken Ham's organization isn't asking for $92 million from Kentucky; the total price tag for the ark project is $92 million. They are getting $18 million in tax incentives from Kentucky; the remaining balance is coming from the Creation Museum and donations. And I'm sure not all of the G.O.P is in lockstep with Gov. Bevin on using state funds to subsidize religious projects; it would just be nice if their voice was heard more loudly.

As long as we can do it I think we are much better off having an all volunteer military without a draft. As it stands today you have a military made up of people with much better attitudes who are there because they wanted to be in the military. JMO.

It's a trade off between potential income from out of town tourists coming to Jesusland against the precedent of having to do the same for other religious groups and promoting scientific ignorance.
IMO, I'd avoid, but I can see why they might give the tax break.

Or because they had no other option... Just sayin

Its not as easy to get into the military as you seem to think. And to stay in is even harder.

Sure, now its more difficult. "Peace time" military. Circa 2001-2007? Different story.

This is just anecdotal evidence, but the military didn't exactly get the all stars from my high school.
No doubt there are talented, driven, hard working people that enlist because they want to. But I've also seen people join that don't really have anything else going for them

Of course. Thats true in any job. But successfully making a career of it is a different story. I dealt with a lot of dirt bags as a Master at Arms believe me.

I'm sure the army is actually very good for a lot of the dregs of society, whether they realise it before joining or not. I'd generally be in favour of national service, with the option to opt out and do community service instead or something.
