I think Rusty Yates was just as culpable if not more so in the death of the Yate's children. I don't know about "more so", but I'll agree that his inaction probably did contribute to the brutal murders. She did it, she killed her kids, not in a quick random act of instability, but in a metho
"It's to discuss, and hopefully fix the problems that developed during the elections in Ohio and elsewere." If this is the purpose, why is the democrat party (once again) being so selective on where the discussion should be based? Here in Wisconsin voter fraud and corruption was done out in the open, no apologies, excuses or attempts to cover it up. "The New Voter Project" and other groups encouraged their members to become deputised voter r
You can't blame god because there is no god. So we can't blame "Purple" either? Link ;~D
Apparently the Al-qaeda Press' (AP) propaganda is working.
That doesn't make things right but it gives us a better attitude... Very good words!!! We can't always choose what will or won't happen in our lives, but our attitude is ALWAYS ours to choose.
some of those dues everyone is paying go towards kitting out some of the best aid and development thinkers in the world. So, instead of paying dues this year, the member nations should donate that money to the relief effort. ;~D <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 cl
"2. Let them eat sea-grass: David Holcberg, a research associate at the Ayn Rand Institute in Irvine, California, demonstrates he's not for any sissy labels like "compassionate libertarian": "The United States government... should not give any money to help the tsunami victims. Why? Because the money is not the government's to give. Every cent the government spends comes from taxation. Every dollar the government hands out as foreign aid
Can I order the Kitty Shake with Malt? ;~D
No matter how great, or awful a life with no sickness, pain, or disasters would be, we would still experience the same extremes of perception. Even if there were no disease, no war, no tragedy, we would still enjoy the top end of the experience spectrum and complain about the bottom. No matter how good, "good" could get, whatever happens that we consider "not good" would be tragedy and make us wonder why "God" is doing this to us. I
The Head Honcho's coming to my town. "Santa??? I know him!!" ;~D
"I wonder if he remembered on that Christmas day telling me that it meant something?" Nice article. My experience is, just like any other sentimental gift, it meant something in the context of time and place. I'm guessing all the sets of wings he had over the years, that didn't end up as gifts (sentimental to time and place) ended up the same place as the set he gave you. ;~D
To me, people get all confused in the whole "Creationism vs. Evolutionism" thing because they are expecting both to be something that they were never meant to be. "Creationism" is the buzzword assigned to the Old Testament's description of the creation of Life, The Universe and Everything. Unfortunately (or fortunately, however you want to look at it), the Old Testament has never claimed itself to be an exhaustive history of anything, much le
Actually, a lot of what they talk about has nothing to do with the job at hand. That's what I noticed the first time I got to go into a "high security" area in the Army. I mean, what room could be more filled with all the sneaky
I suppose my "excuse" will be the same one I usually use: I am (was) only human. I think the whole point of Jesus being born, living a life complete with hunger, temptation, betrayal, scourge, pain, murder; joy, happiness, fun, and love (in other words, experiencing the best and the worst of what life m
I like it! As for the bell-bottoms, there's probably a circle of hell specially reserved for fashion designers. And if Coctoblasta is right, I'd better hope that my salvation is not determined by my choice of jeans in the 70s (If they are, then those triangles I had my mom sew in the outer seams from kn
That all depends on what actually happening to my spirit as the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, the worms play pinnacle on my snout: If the atheists are right, I won't say anything because, well, I'd Dead. If the Budists are right, then I'll be somewhere in the ether preparing for my next trip through as a girl, a tree, or a single blade of grass. If the Militant arm of t
For the same reason that EMTs and Paramedics continue treating patients, even after being spat on, vomitted on and shot at... For the same reason Firefighters continue educating the public in fire safety, fight fires in homes with no smoke alarms, only to get chewed out by homeowners because they didn't save the TV. For the same reason teachers continue teaching, even after they get blamed because "Johnny Can't Read" by a parent who
Are we sure we want to remove all sacred symbols from our public places? "Nature Spirituality necessitates respect for the natural rhythms of the Earth and the Cosmos. One participates in a conscious dialog between nature and the self. Nature, including humanity ,animals, organic and non organic physical matter as well as non physical entities and energies is seen as living expressions and or literal embodiment of the Sacred, essential truth,
So what's the beef, eh? The beef seems to be that certain parts of our society have decided that "freedom" means, "you can't do that here". Think about it: Freedom of Speech: unless your speech happens to offend a protected class of people**. Freedom of the press: unless what the pres
Congrats to D for the new E!!! (That's 10 pushups per E Grade... right?))) Congrats for your new "stay at home" status!!! Have a great time with your new situation, sounds like you're off to a great start!!! ;~)
Maybe they were too busy reviewing "Wardrobe Malfunctions" on their "TiVO"? Of course, TiVO (as a verb) is probably next on their hit list. ;~D
Hear that trolls? You can come out from under the bridge now!!! ;~D
More to the point of the article though... I wonder when the "seperatists" are going to notice that some "religions" are based on the worship of nature. Is the ACLU and the Freedom From Religion Foundation going to set its sights on trees next?? "Nature Spirituality necessitates respect for the natural rhythms of the Earth and the Cosmos. One participates in a conscious dialog between nature and the self. Nature, including humanity ,ani
"Unlike Europeans, Americans like public displays of faith" Is this a joke?? Not the "American like public displays of faith" but he "Unlike Europeans" part!!! The central part of almost any European city is a church! Most the art of which Europe's "high culture" crowd prides itself has some kind of religious theme. In fact, most of the "high culture" of Europe was given its stature because it was accepted as such by "the church".<
Yup. They should. Lose the religion if you want public money. Islamic taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for Christian programs, vice versa, et cetera, whatever. So, should (for example) the bell ringers of the Salvation Army be told that they cannot solicit funds from the general public? If a
