Before this is all over, I wouldn't be surprised if this property is contested by the reparations crowd. It could become a HUGE mess before it all shakes out.

Ya know, you COULD make this a non baseball bashing thread, but since ya didn't...lol Some years back, I discovered bocce ball, which admittedly is slow paced, but is one of those games that is enjoyable because it relies a lot on skills that don't require you being the smartest and fastest. Being a skilled novice chess player (I can beat most novices handily, and have caused many a master to sweat

Good post, shulamite, excellent responses all. We're going to disagree on the nature and existence of God until one day we find out there's a lot of limitation to all we know. I marvel when I think of the passage that speaks of God knowing all of the stars by name (there are something like 10 to the 25th power stars in the universe; that's 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, for those keeping score at home), it speaks to me of a language that

Thanks Beebles As to the AIDS subject, fortunately most churches have stopped teaching it. There are, however, some holdouts (that do not, I must mention, fairly represent Christianity as a whole).

There are a few threads popping up by teen bloggers in which they are feeling a little bit bashed. One of the subjects on the thread of one of the posts, led me to blog on one of the biggest lies we tell teens: "These are the best years of your life". Frankly, if I'd have thought the teen years were the best years of my life, I would have offed myself before

Zoomba's comment reminds me of a recent illustration someone gave: A man was walking home one day and saw the coccoon of an emperor moth. Being fascinated by nature, he took the coccoon home, and placed it in a little terrarium, eagerly awaiting the day when the beautiful moth would emerge. The day came, and the moth began pulling itself from the coccoon, slowly and tentatively. The beauty from its emerging wings was breathtaking. At

carebear, To claim that adults don't understand teenagers is just as divisive as adults who don't respect teens. The very statement you made shows a disrespect for adults, which often leads to a mutual disrespect. Please explain what we don't understand. Pressures to have sex, drink, do drugs? Umm, sorry to tell you, but they were there for our generation as well. I came from a side of town with a nearly 50% dropout rate due to drug u

I would like my last words to be "see you on the flip side" 3/ what would you like your 'inscription' to read ? "He owned nothing" 4/ what would you hope is a song that reflects your lifetime ?

capt and carebear, If you are concerned about what your fellow classmates will think of you when you pray in school, I have suggested reading for you. There are two books entitled "Jesus Freaks" (1 & 2) put out by DC Talk and Voice of the Martyrs. If you are truly concerned about the esteem of your peers, it might do you well to read about people who put their very LIVES on the line for their faith.

And from the looks of it on Capt.'s article the only christians over there getting bashed are teens. I am Christian, and the reason I am not getting bashed is, I agree to disagree. I feel it is a fruitless endeavour to try to legislate morality, and believe that responsible adults have the right to make

I understand what you are trying to say. But you are not correct in your assessment. What I am trying to say is that, even though the current constitution of the United States was written in 1789, our founding fathers didn't come out of a political vaccuum. Many of the leaders of the Revolution were, in fact, the wealthiest people on this continent at the time. The reason they were wealthy is they were given land and title by England, somethin

carebear, First off, bashing happens regularly on this site. I do not know of a single regular poster that doesn't get bashed with regularity. Secondly, Captain brought a lot of it on himself by using a controversial title with nothing to do with the blog subject, and then expecting everyone to bring it around to the subject he wanted to discuss. You might say he hijacked his own thread, in a roundabout way. As was said befor

I keep reading about people saying that you can pray anytime you want and that you don't have to make a big scene about it. Trust me, everything you do is seen in high school. You do the typical praying position and someone will see and comment about it. The moment of silence is time for everyone to get some acceptable prayer in

You just need to be prepared to accept the possibility that your "hard evidence" may come in the form of a bioweapon attack on Los Angeles or a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan. You're right...most probably from North Korea, with whom we deal "diplomatically".

David, Please could you leave me out of this? I dropped it, and have unblacklisted you to invite you to air your grievances with me on my thread. Say whatever you wish...THERE. It will not be edited or deleted, as I truly would like to make peace with you. Contrary to what you think, I have nothing personal against you; I would just like to clear the air.

Right, mano. I realize the dynamics of peace between nations goes much deeper, but as the one blog (I think it was yours even) said, we can't have world peace if we can't have peace between joeusers. To even conceive of world peace, we have to first be peaceful people. That doesn't mean we can't argue, but it means we should do so with mutual respect for the rights of the individual. LW, I can't wish that on anyone. I've seen anger destroy too
