according to some estimates, there are more Christians in China than Communist Party members. Up to 100 million have been celebrating across China this past Easter weekend.
Why do you think this is happening?
>>36437
sound like a bullshit article;
what estimations? there is a paper published about it somewhere?
And anyway according to wikipedia there are ~88 millions of members of the communist party which is something like the ~6% of the total population, so not really that surprising that there are more "religious" people than communist party members.
Finally christian holidays in most asian countries are incredibly commercialized, so the way of celebrating (and the reason for doing so) for chinese people may be pretty different from an actual religious person.
>>36437
Because christianity and communism aren't actually opposed to eachother, despite what people say. Communist counties having very large christian communities is one of the worst kept secrets I've ever come across.

So just like the West?

So in my very short, and very quick research and reading of several articles from various different news outlets, I have found that the recent RFRA that is trying to get passed was originally meant for Religious Minorities who otherwise have no protection at all under local laws.
I am a Christian, and I understand what this means as getting passed, but Christianity is by no means a minority in this country anymore, and this law seems like it is getting supported (and rejected) on the basis of extreme fear of oppression and denial of freedoms. Will this really oppress LGBT groups? or is this just a meme started by libtardism?
>>36303
It will oppress the lgbt community. It wouldn't be right for people to turn blacks away. It wouldn't be right to turn gas away either.
>>36303
No one should be discriminated against, period. Hiding behind religious beliefs as an excuse to discriminate is not okay.

MUMBAI, INDIA—A growing number of states in India are imposing a new requirement on candidates for local office: They must use a toilet.
The western state of Maharashtra this past week became the latest to pass a law requiring those running in municipal and village-level elections to present proof that they have access to working toilets. Five Indian states — with combined populations of nearly 400 million people, or roughly one-third of the country — have enacted similar legislation over the past two years.
That’s no small demand in a country in which an estimated 40 per cent of people, including more than half in rural areas, lack access to safe, functioning commodes, according to WaterAid, a charity. In much of rural India, most people still defecate in the open due to a lack of toilets and widespread traditional beliefs that it is more wholesome to go outdoors.
Open defecation, however, has been linked to chronic diarrhea and other diseases that lead to stunted growth in children, as well as to violence against women who must leave their homes to relieve themselves.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched a “Clean India” campaign that aims to end open defecation and install 110 million toilets nationwide by 2019. Four of the five states that have introduced laws requiring local political candidates to use toilets are led by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party.
State officials say they want local office-holders to serve as role models in following modern sanitation practices.
“It is high time to have this basic amenity at home,” said Maharashtra’s chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis, a Modi ally. “We are also promoting the Swachh Bharat (Clean India) campaign. We want to make each and every village and city clean and garbage-free.”
http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2016/04/02/some-political-candidates-in-india-must-prove-they-use-a-toilet.html
The bill Fadnavis initially proposed last fall would have required every local candidate to have a working toilet at home. That prompted resistance from some opposition parties, which said it would disqualify many poor candidates as well as those living in urban areas who use shared public toilets.
In Mumbai, India’s second-most populous city and the largest in Maharashtra, one-third of municipal office-holders belonging to the powerful Shiv Sena party reside in slums that have shared toilets, said a party official, Anil Parab.
The state government relented and the law passed would allow people to contest elections if they produced a certificate showing they had access to a functioning toilet.
But an independent state lawmaker, Kapil Patil, slammed the law as unconstitutional, saying any Indian adult should be able to run for office without conditions.
“Is it not insulting to submit such a letter before applying for the candidature?” Patil said in an interview.
“Where I go to attend nature’s call cannot be anybody else’s business. The government’s responsibility is to provide toilets to everyone. One cannot hold the candidate responsible for the lack of toilets in the state.”
Some who support the effort to improve sanitation also criticized the law for driving a wedge between rural Indians and those living in urban areas, roughly 80 per cent of whom have access to toilets, according to WaterAid.
“The bill polarizes the candidates between rich and poor,” said Kiran Pawaskar, an opposition state lawmaker. “The intent is good but the law is bad.”
Opponents of such legislation in other states have had mixed success. In February, the government in the northern state of Bihar, which is not allied with Modi, withdrew a law requiring candidates in local elections to have toilets in their homes, saying the state had fallen short of its promises to build more toilets.
Last June, a court in the western state of Gujarat, which is led by Modi’s party, rejected a challenge to a similar policy, ruling that office-holders should serve as “role models” for citizens.
“The states have the flexibility to make their own policies and rules, and it’s good that they’re trying to work in that spirit,” said Nitya Jacob, head of policy at WaterAid India. But Jacob said states should work harder on implementing the central government’s ambitious sanitation plans.
The laws “are more symbolic than anything else. It sends a message that this is important and you need to have a toilet.”
Part of the problem, Jacob and others say, is that while India has become better at building toilets, it has not had as much success getting people to use them. Many brand-new toilets lie unused due to drought or a lack of piped water. In some areas, local officials have not carried out adequate education campaigns to increase toilet use.
The cultural barriers remain significant. In a recent paper, researchers Anurag Banerjee, Nilanjan Banik and Ashvika Dalmia used Indian demographic survey data to rank 21 basic consumer goods in the order that Indian households would prefer to acquire them. According to their analysis, toilets ranked 12th — meaning a poor family would buy a television, a pressure cooker or a motorcycle before it acquired a toilet.

Recently, I’ve been amazed to find restaurants placing a surcharge (usually around five dollars) for entrée sharing. In other words, you pay extra to get an empty second plate. In some restaurants the portions are so large that entrée sharing is common, especially amongst older diners. But what’s the difference between one person or two at the same table? It doesn’t change costs. Isn’t this surcharge unethical?
I sent your question to my “usually reliable source” in the restaurant industry, and what came back was a rant of Mercerian proportions. Here’s a snippet:
“People forget that they’re not paying just for the food but for the whole dining experience, let alone (God forbid) the small amount left over for a restaurateur who’s spent his life and passion producing that food. Guests often comment ‘I can make that dish at home for half that price.’ Yes, you can, in fact less than half at my restaurants; we know that and we’re up front about it. But your house doesn’t supply the person to cook, serve it to you and wash your dishes — let alone all the other things that create the environment you enjoy.”
Obviously, you touched a nerve.
But the math is solidly on the side of the restaurants. In successful, mid-range eateries (in between Ronald McDonald and Susur Lee), only about 30 per cent of operational dollars are spent on food and booze; another 30 per cent goes to staffing (salary, benefits, training, etc.), and 30 per cent is spent on facilities. That leaves about 10 per cent profit.
http://www.thestar.com/life/2016/04/02/restaurants-well-within-their-rights-to-charge-for-entre-sharing-ethically-speaking.html
When you split an entrée, the restaurant saves some food cost — but the other 70 per cent of costs are the same. You’re using dishes and cutlery that have to be cleaned, sitting on furniture under electric lights, enjoying heat or air conditioning, being seated by the same hostess and served by the same server. And all those amenities and people represent real costs.
So, ethically speaking, there’s no problem with a restaurateur imposing a surcharge for entrée splitting; you’re not paying for an “empty plate,” but for the whole experience of being there. And five bucks seems quite reasonable against a $20 entrée. What’s more, in many restaurants where my wife and I share, the kitchen even splits the entrée, serving it on separate plates. Five bucks? A steal.
And another thought from my source: “thanks to your reader for still buying their booze, etc. and making it worth our while. Most sharers don’t; they want a free glass of water with a toothpick. So he’s one of the good ones; we love him.”
A final thought, this one from me. Remember to calculate your tip not on the bill you receive, but rather on what it would have cost for two full meals. It’s no less work for staff members when you split an entrée. So if they meet or exceed the level of service you expect, you should reward them on the basis of two complete dining experiences.
Entrée sharing is a terrific way to reduce food wastage — I hate seeing uneaten food tossed in the garbage. It’s also a good way to counter obesity. But it’s not a way to significantly cut the cost of dining out — nor should it be.
>>36310
wow, talk about a bad customer service experience. in order to gain and maintain a clientele you do stuff, all sorts of stuff. Because word will get out, and your competition across the street will make a funny sandwich sign or bright placard stating "now with free empty plate"!
I hear you as far as fixed costs are concerned, but its the little things along with the big stuff (clean, fresh food, food safety, etc) that make the Hospitality industry such a challenge, and so different from all other industries.
>>36310
Why not just order the entree for one person, then share it when you get it? They might not like it, but can they really charge you extra for splitting it if you specifically ordered it for one person?

>Players on the U.S. women's national soccer team say they are being discriminated against because they are paid less than members of the men's team
>The U.S. Soccer Federation said in a statement that it has supported the development of the women's game for the past 30 years, including pushing for the women's sport to be added to the Olympics in 1996 and to having prize money for the Women's World Cup, which paid nothing to winners prior to 2007. The Federation said it has also supported the creation of the National Women's Soccer League, which started in 2013, after three previous attempts at a women's league had failed
>>36242
...No. The issue it's not the sex of the players, but the money produced by the spectacle, and as of now, people prefer to see MEN roll on the grass clutching their knees. Get to their theatric level and then you can get paid the same.

females are physically, emotionally and intellectually inferior to men and as an aggregate will always be paid less
Men's soccer lost money last year, women's made money.

Saudi Arabia have declared their intention to create a 2 Trillion dollar investment fund which would give them ability to buy firms as big as Google or Microsoft, for when their oil runs out.
They appear to be unaware that the only reason governments pander to them is because the oil under their land can't be created elsewhere.

>>36688
Yep, sinkholes.
Basically, salinated waters cause dissolution to the carbonate rocks below. Below that are caves, already carved from rainwater. When the erosion meets the cave wall is causes a sink hole.
