    Wisconsin government union debacle spreads...

    #35 from MP First point made by a liberal that is totally accurate and even reasonably close to functional truth concerning the economy: "THERE AIN'T NO FREE LUNCH!" Now if they would just practice this concept re: all their pet loves--!!??:smilewinkgrin: Ain't holding...

    Jury Duty

    74! I guess each state/county is different. Here you can opt out @65, no questions asked. Should the problems I noted ever be eliminated, I would probably be willing to serve again; BUT CERTAINLY NOT AS THINGS ARE NOW!!!!

    Jury Duty

    I'm permanently excused now due to age, but I have served a few times. I really did not mind it so much EXCEPT all the ridiculous waiting and waiting and waiting while the lawyers and judge talked/discussed/bantered/formulated/argued, etc, etc, etc.:mad: I see no reason why all the pretrial...

    Pyramids

    Bolded mine Is this not the ultimate purpose of virtually all this questioning of His word for the vast majority??? Some are just unwittingly lured into this approach by "educational pride", but most are just trying to discredit God's word. I'm sure the reasoning(?) goes like this: "If God did...

    How old is the earth?

    Evolution is so solidified in our culture that little things like the change of the speed of light will be ignored and/or jeered since that would eliminate the billios of years required for the evo process.:BangHead: My thoughts as to the evo's reaction to such a discovery; tho' probably very...

    Al Gore Explains 'Snowmageddon'

    This yo-yo's reasoning powers approximates that of John Kerry when he claimed "--I voted for it before I voted against it." (????)

    How old is the earth?

    Granted, and I just take God at His word, without trying to make it conform to a science that is "scientifically(?)" convinced that it is/was not simply as He stated it. YE, OE, Evolution - all are based on faith! The only difference is the basis of that faith!!!:sleep:

    Short Term Mission Trips

    To Costa Rica in '81, and Taiwan in '99- both really life changing. I s'pose I was awed most by the one to Taiwan, seeing a culture that literally worshiped idols. It's one thing to hear/read about "idol worship" and a totally 'nother thing to experience that culture first hand.

    Tree Huggers Vindicated

    Many years ago I was reading some story about "nature" and the enviros of the day were pushing the saving of endangered species and the following comment was made. (Paraphrased, of course) "We have to do more to protect these fragile creatures of the forest, cause the last couple of centuries...

    Causing Men to Lust

    Well, FWIW, when my daughter was about 15, she came home with a pair of jeans that fit like she had been poured into them - that was the "style"! She could see nothing wrong with showing off every curve and wrinkle on her body and got terribly upset that I did not approve. Luckily, she asked...

    Should churches display the national flag and the Christian flag together

    Face it folks, there are always some who see the devil behind each & every bush; or, perhaps flags in this instance; or even lyrics.:sleep:

    A. L. pitcher will not report to spring tng - contract amount unfair

    This guy may have "given up" that which was LEGALLY his, but IMHO he showed a burst of integrity, morals, and ethics that is sorely lacking in today's society.:thumbs: After all, ABORTION is LEGAL!!!:mad: All that is necessary for ANYTHING to be LEGAL is for some governing body to so say so -...

    U.S. in Contempt Over Gulf Drill Ban, Judge Rules

    Nothing this administration does surprises me - may be something I didn't know, but not surprising!!! Many on this board say that the "ZERO" is just in over his head, but IMHO he knows exactly what he's doing and is relishing every moment. Don't expect any changes on policy until the dictator...

    Obama’s Blocking Of New Power Plants Triggers Nationwide Blackouts ?

    Bolded mine If there's a 10 yr MIN, lets say reality is 12 (+/-) years - who was president then? Get real! Blame those responsible -- the enviros, peta types, liberals who are scared silly of atoms, bureaucrat policies that have outlived their initial usefulness and are "updated" to justify...

    Judge Rules Health Care Law Is Unconstitutional

    All that is required in SC is that you have liability, not collision. This protects the guy you might run into, not you - if you want to protect "you", you then buy collision INS. If you don't want to buy any, don't drive; then ins is NOT required. Humongous difference in the shudda been...

    a different creation question

    As someone noted on another thread, it all boils down to whether you believe God or not. As noted, if you question what He says initially, where do you start believing Him literally?? Or do you find yourself questioning anything that steps on YOUR toes?
