If this was a case of a neo-nazi spreading hateful propaganda, he'd eventully get banned for his conduct, not his opinions. So far they all have, and I have delighted in it. No one with half a brain would believe that Sir P. is a real person, though; the story is posed far, far too "out there", and purposely so. If he made himsel

Is it more about what they do in their bedroom or more about equality when it comes to relationships, superannuation, rights as an individual, discrimination in the workplace... I dont think its about what position you have sexual intercourse in i think its more about society accepting there are differences and being more toleran

Agreed, but i doubt you are familiar with the facts of the case. The lady in question did not just get a few blisters on her thighs, she suffered THIRD DEGREE burns all over her thighs and pussy, lost a lot of tissue and underwent numerous surgeries, Maybe there should have been a warning label in the c

Which leads me to beleive - that internally there is so much conflict and confusion, that as a whole, Christians have no idea what part of christianity they conform to individually - i.e. they conform to whatever suits them... Actually, what it usually comes down to is whether or not they read the entir

I got a new mirror ensemble for $17 at the parts atore, and I'm going to try again in a slightly different spot on the glass tonight once it's cooled off a bit. I don't think there's any point in trying to do it in 100 degree temps, that's just asking for failure! That was going to be my suggestion, dh

It's interesting that people see an image of Bush as a racist, though, when that's one tag I'd NEVER place on him, considering that his cabinet is the most racially and culturally diverse of ANY administration (as an example, Colin Powell--the highest ranking black American EVER!)

The thing that causes me to believe that is my church. carebear, While I know you are sincere as a Christian, I would encourage you not to operate solely on the words of the church. Examine the scriptures and decide for yourself what God has to say on the matter. Speak with leaders of your chu

Are you gay Gideon? Have you ever had homosexual tendancies? I dont expect you to answer these questions, but I think that unless you are or have then noone can really understand. I have known I was gay since the age of 9. I have never found a woman to be sexually attractive ever and it really doesnt interest me in the sli

moral of the story - Christians have no idea what they are talking about Apparently their faith and the rules they live by are circumstantial - i.e. the circumstances have to suit them. Muggaz, as a blogger I respect I would really appreciate it if you didn't turn this into a Christian bashing t

One of the greatest laments in my life have always been the people I cannot reach. I want to be a true minister, to somehow reach out and heal (spiritually, at least) the depressed, the downtrodden, the despairing... There are times when I feel like an absolute failure, however. Case in point, my mother, who has had a truly horrible life that noone could envy

OK, as a dude whose forced to be around estrogen constantly (four daughters, 'member?), I have to say, mig's right: You ladies rock! I would be proud to count any one of you as my real life friends (and I'm hoping to beg dharma for a beenie for the baby after it's born...lol).

Done. The only threat we have to worry about with a Canadian counter attack would be a massive onslaught of "high sticking". I have already solved that problem, though, as I'm sending in Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds and telling them there's a free case of creatine available for every Canuck they can hit out of the park. I will finance the purchase of the creatine by instantaneously creating an "eh" tax for every time the aforementioned two letter word is

You mention that people who are prayed for have faster heal rates. For the sake of argument let's say that this is true. Isn't "praying for someone" asking God to favor one person over another? Doesn't this situation strike you as wrong somehow? It's not a matter of praying to manipulate God; if He were

In an enorumus line I saw more than one very young mother with at least two kids and a big pregnant belly. Looks can be deceiving sometimes, though. My wife and I have been married for nine years, she still is guaranteed to get carded if she purchases alcohol (which she almost never does unless she want

Yes, I well understand. I have been following the saga on your blogs, and I feel badly for the child. The counselor and minister in me, however, can't help but feel sorry for the mother as well, and I pray that someone, somehow can find a way to reach this woman. Maybe it will take the removal of her child, though (and don't get me wrong; in instances such as these, the child's interest should CLEARLY supercede the mother's).

As the 2004 presidential election nears, I can only hope that the 2000 election fiasco rears its ugly head again. Allow me to explain. After the results were inconclusive from the 2000 election, I took it upon myself to decide that, absent a president-elect, there should be an interim presidential elect. This person should: 1) Be a person who actuall

OK, sorry...one of those "inspired by another blog title" posts. Please note it is humor and I do not mean to disparage the many noble homeless people out there.

LW, Don't feel bad. I'm one of those that Petey dislikes because he thinks I know all of you personally and that's why I get points. What he doesn't realize is: 1) the majority of my blogs receive one or fewer comments 2) my ratio of non featured articles to featured articles is about 12:1 3) I have four times as many comments as I do articles; that is how I generate points and traffic 4) I know NONE of you in real life (t

A certain joeuser with a separate website has waged a very thinly veiled war against joeuser. He has, admirably, been very careful not to mention the name of this site and only certain select users, but the verbal barrage is unmistakeable. I must admit, frankly, I am very mixed towards this person's blogs. He angers me and cracks me up at the same time. I und

Unfortunately, naming the child after my grandfather would mean naming him after my father as well. Interestingly enough, we have followed that tradition in our family as well, though (my great grandmother was a convert from Judaism to the Salvation Army church, and many Jewish traditions have remained alive in our family to this day [the ones that haven't, my family and I have revived, as not only is Judaism a family heritage, it should be re
