Reply to I don't know Car mechanics, but in Blogging JoeUser Forums

There is that national radio car show called ... A woman called up that had gone to the gas station and had pulled up her car to the pump stand. She found the gas nozzle did fit into her pipe so stopped and thought for a second. She picked up the nozzle again again carefully held it just above the pipe opening and poured it in gingerly being very proud of herself for figuring out a solution. She got half way through when the station guy came over and said "Umm Mam, wh

This kinda makes me laugh a bit too...I can just imagine 150 years ago...when Christians gathered and talked about the government...they might have asked themselves..."What will happen if gov and religion are truly separated and the ten commandments can't be posted in court?" ~Gasps!~Another chimes up, "What if prayer is taken ou

As Dr. Guy said the book was better. Although, maybe it wasn't the same book that you're referring to. The one I read was called The Handmaid's Tale. From the title, the book you mention seems to be about a servant woman with a vestigial appendage. Sounds much more interesting then the one I read. OMG!

Not to inflame the topic but did anyone ever see the movie The Handmaids Tail with Robert Duvall? Could there ever be a viable Christian Right Party that would rival the other two?

I do have a problem with this sentence, As A JEW does that make me a non-believer? Well technically we all believe in something, but I was refering to those who are not of the Christian Faith. Let me change that to 'Christians and Others'

If you mean the Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells, I would run screaming to the left, and not look back. Col gene and the rest of us would have our arms open if that happened! :; Let's take them out of the picture and say it happened more at a grass roots level.

The following is purely a 'What if' scenario but I am intersted in the thoughts of both Christians and non-believers on the following. If the Christian Right continued to grow in strength and interest in Politics, what if they became a strong underlying force within the America Political ring? Could there ever be a birth to a new 3rd party, the Christian Rig

Reply to What Muslims Living In Britain Want in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Well written article Sally. As a person who spent 7 years living in Japan I would have to say to all those Muslims a hearty STFU and leave England and go home. Nothing pissed me off more while in Japan working than other Americans or Westerners that would come to work and do nothing but bitch about Japan and the culture. When you are in another country that is not your own, you need to STFU and get along or move out. Then especia

Reply to Why do Good Things Happen to Bad People? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I fail to see the 'Good Things' that are happening to this man and his wife. I would think a Good thing would be something that is unexpected with a bit of luck thrown in. He is obviously well-liked by his followers and they want to do these things for him. I would agree the man is more akin to a professional beggar, and his followers are suckers most likely, but the man has does have the right to do what he is doing, and he may very well feel he is doing god's work by taking donat

Reply to A 'Dear John' letter to the President of SOE in MMORPG JoeUser Forums

When this game first started they had a killer game base. Awesome skill trees that were very granular if wanted. The grind was even worth it to reach the top branches. It was addicting just like a good Multi should be. I think one of the problems they ran into was holding back the Jedi unlock for so long. We waited and waited on what it would take to unlock the chance to get a Jedi. I and other people eventually saif F it an

Reply to Does Monogamy Work? in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Didn't monogamy become entrenched in us because of religion in the very begining? Other cultures did not have marriage in the begining. Anyone ever read some of the books by Aldous Huxley, particularly 'Brave New World'? His vision of the future was a futher melting of relationships almost back to the earliest state where kids were not raised by a single set of mother / father but by a group. Society had socially changed at the roots regarding ma

Reply to Do you spank your children? Were you spanked? in Parenting JoeUser Forums

I used time outs, took away toys, then privileges such as tv time, or going outside to play. I also made sure my kids were allowed to have their emotions, to own them and express them without getting slapped. Trudy, that is spot on.

Reply to What’s Good for GM: See the USA in a Chevrolet in Blogging JoeUser Forums

GM is getting what it has made for itself. Made and sold inferior cars. Did not see the future and cranked out gas guzzling behemoths instead of inovating. Merger or not this donkey is dead unless they reinvent themselves quick.

Speeding on the highway is par with the course and that is why there are 3-5 lanes. What I will not do is speed on local roads where kids could pop out. I'll do 40 in a 35, tops, and shake my head at the fuckers behind me lined up in their fucking suvs, landrovers, trucks and other misc behemoths pissing and moaning that they can not do 50. They just don't care.

Reply to Do you spank your children? Were you spanked? in Parenting JoeUser Forums

I was spanked to the point where today it would be classified as beating. I was practically spanked daily for all the mischief I caused. My father used hands, belts, anything that was handy. He spanked clearly out of anger and his own frustrations. I use a spank now with my two boys only as a tactical strike. It is only really used like Blue Dev mentioned when my boys are out of control. Most of the stuff we talk about now, before and after they get in trouble, but they kn
