Okay,

Twin Cities residents who depend upon the MTC bus system to get to work will have a problem tomorrow. The bus employee union is on strike.

I have to ask my wife about this first, BUT I am willing to provide transportation to someone who's stuck because of the strike. This will likely have to be first come-first serve. And I can probably give a ride home too if its not too late (we are leaving town tomorrow night).

Barring any technical difficulties that would exempt me from moral culpability, I would sincerely like to help anyone this bus strike is going to affect.

Any takers?

Any other able-bodied offers from willing hearers?

Awww!

I am going to officially close this offer. I have decided that I am sleeping in. I do hope everyone has a safe journey to work no matter the mode of transportation.

G'night!

Laika,
What exactly does this mean?

Sorry Laika...
I really do empathize with your being stuck but I don't think you can hold me morally culpable since I had no idea that you were stuck.

On the other hand, since I have a car in a city where the bus drivers are on strike, I must be morally culpable for all of the stuck people in general, justy not you personally.

Don't take it personal though.

But you are morally culpable simply due to your existence. Aren't you understanding mephi?

Really I'm not. I must be too mentally stubborn to allow such liberal use of words and structures.

Why does God need to be implicated in evil and why would that change anything?

Do they know what a "bus" or "public transport" is out there?

If God does evil, how can you tell His evil from Satan's or anyone else's?

If God does evil and Satan wanted to oppose Him, wouldn't Satan doing good do that?

If God does evil and we are to imitate Him, when can we start?

My Concorde jet is warming up, but I also have to get clearance to fly over DMZ's and stuff too. There's alot of work that one who is culpable has to go through and I don't think that people understand that all the time.

Sorry, I dint see it.

Well if Jesus is morally culpable and complicit in the evil that goes on in the world, as some are advocating, He falls somewhat short of being 100% good, doesn't He?
