    Obama Wants to Retroactively Prevent Foreign Corporate Mergers

    Won't survive a judicial challenge. But it'll cost money and time in legal wrangling.... Perhaps if the government loosened the taxes on corporations, the corporations wouldn't be looking for solutions that take jobs and revenue away from the U.S.?....

    Why are many young people leaving the church?

    By the way, evangelist; sent you a private message. Would you let me know if you got it?

    Why are many young people leaving the church?

    Don't know why it scares you. When I first started working with our teen group, NONE of them brought a bible to class, in any shape or form. I asked them to show me which of them had a cell phone with them; they ALL did. I asked them why they didn't have a bible program on their cell phone...

    Why are many young people leaving the church?

    Was talking to my pastor about this kind of subject last week. Our church seems to have a preponderance of people who have had drug problems, jail/prison problems, family problems, etc., etc. One of our teens told us that he comes to our church instead of the one down the road (same...

    Flower Crowns In Beards. Seriously.

    I think it was season 4 of "Top Shot" where we had the (in)famous quote: "I just watched a grown man give another grown man a friendship bracelet." I thought that was bad, until I saw this thread....

    Preventing violence

    Evangelist - I sent you a private message. Please let me know if you didn't receive it.

    Okla. Supreme Court upholds Common Core repeal

    I understand what you're saying. The accountability should be the jobs sector. When a business hires someone, they should note the school; if the employee under-performs, after graduating from an institution that basically stated the employee could do the job because they graduated from that...

    Okla. Supreme Court upholds Common Core repeal

    Rev - I disagree. That philosophy says teachers are the ones responsible, and puts no responsibility on the student. We need educational standards that are measurable, but we need to put the emphasis on students, not teachers. Teachers can inspire; but they can't make an unwilling student...

    Meeting with a woman?

    Don't forget: I deleted some "personal info" page references...but I didn't see that one on the first page of the results I got. HOWEVER, thanks to you bringing that up, I now have his address and two phone numbers. He lives in a pretty nice neighborhood, near a hospital (specifically being...

    Okla. Supreme Court upholds Common Core repeal

    Talking with a friend yesterday; teachers in the local area have been so tied to test scores, that they don't believe they can actually teach. For example, if a math teacher tries to teach pre-calculus (high school level), they know their student test scores are going to be lower because the...

    Fed Chair Janet Yellen Gives Bad News; Market Drops

    ITL - way to man up. Good example for the rest of us. I'd have to say part of the slow response is the lack of media attention. Just checked Drudge, CNN, Fox, and MSNBC; not a word about this. You'd think something like this, the conservatives would be jumping on so they could thumb their...

    Meeting with a woman?

    Here, let me demonstrate -- from a google search for "evangelist6589": That was the first of 8 pages. I deleted a couple of entries that seemed personal. You should be afraid. Or at least aware that nothing you say on this board, or anywhere else on the internet, is "safe" or "protected."...

    Meeting with a woman?

    YOU THINK AIM, GOOGLE CHAT, AND/OR YAHOO MESSENGER PROTECT ONE'S PRIVACY? Each of these programs have settings to save your messages; you may not set the program to save the message, but who knows about the person you're chatting with? Seriously, dude, your ignorance of the lack of privacy and...

    Israel

    How can it be "faux surprise" that they turn into terrorists, when the terrorists admit freely that Israel is acting within international law, while they themselves are performing illegal acts? http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/182837#.U8Pu2fldWSo If someone knows what they...

    Israel

    It comes from "oh, you poor child, the bad Israelis killed your parents ... (hush, don't tell him his parents shot rockets into Israel first, killing their fathers, mothers, and children....)"

    Even GOP consumers are satisfied with ‘Obamacare’

    It was reported this morning that Obama has a 72% favorable rating. Among muslims. All polls must be taken with a grain of salt. It must be considered where the poll was administered, number of respondents, etc. That all said, here's the #1 lie in the article from the OP: "Republicans did...

    How to treat a local Word of Faith Church?

    "I never mentioned my wife's name, so I haven't humiliated her." I gave it a shot. Back on ignore. This guy makes my brain hurt.

    Supreme Court: Winners and Losers

    Guess that depends on your opinion...since this article is littered with rhetoric and inflammatory language, and is obviously opinion. Wonder what the author would think of those of us that choose to think for ourselves, but disagree with him?

    How to treat a local Word of Faith Church?

    Let's put the shoe on the other foot, shall we? Say you receive a call from this woman, and she starts asking questions that obviously indicate she thinks you're wrong, and there's every indication she's going to try to correct your "error." Would you appreciate such a call?
