I can't put my finger on why ... I can't explain it ... but this does NOT seem like a good idea....

No one's arguing that bad IFB churches don't exist; they do. The argument comes when someone indiscriminately uses "IFB denomination" or "all IFB" or even "most" or "many." That's like saying all churches affiliated with the SBC denomination are liberal; or that most Baptist churches are...

So what happened to Paul and CTB? I really want to discuss the repercussions of this alleged "good thing."

PLEASE let us know if/when you get a response!

"Adjusted for inflation...." SO -- the fed wants to keep pumping funds, thereby increasing the inflationary effect, which in turn negates the increase in the minimum wage. Meanwhile, those that were already making $9/hour are now classified as minimum wage earners, increasing the number of...

Here's the most telling part: Has SNL done a similar skit about Mohammed?

You sure it's not just YOUR feet? :)

There are two IFB churches in the area I currently live. A few more about 30-45 minutes south of where I'm at. Of the two, one fits your description to a "T"; but even though I've been IFB since 1995, I won't go there. The other one? The pastor sometimes shows up on Wednesday nights wearing...

When you talk about the Independent Fundamental Baptist denomination (his words, not mine), rather than specifying who you're talking about, then you're committing the fallacy of over-generalization. It doesn't mean he's wrong about the particular church or churches of which he speaks; just...

He commits the fallacy of over-generalization.

...yet....

ITL, let's make sure we understand the game that both sides are playing. Sometime back, Obama actually proposed these cuts, in order to have the repubs agree with his administration's proposals. Now Mr. Obama has backed off, saying that the cuts are too deep and too painful--but he hasn't...

I was pretty sure you did. Thanks for helping point out the flimsiness of the foundation for the protests mentioned in the OP.

So what environmental concerns does Keystone raise?

I'm not sure I get the environmental concerns. Fracking, for example; if you watch the Matt Damon movie, you come away thinking that fracking will cause your water to become explosive. What they don't tell you is that that area has always had an abnormal build-up of methane gas, and residents...

Not a single comment about the boy's statement to police that he didn't think he would go to jail....

Except -- there's also a statement in the article that claims a police report says the kid saw an episode of CSI (or similar show) where a kid shot an abusive father and didn't go to jail, so he thought he wouldn't go to jail, either. If the kid had said he did it to keep his father from...

Ma'am - need to know what kind of computer you're using. One possible problem: if you're using a laptop, your touchpad may be set too sensitive. Whether you're on a desktop or laptop, I'd recommend two different courses of action (and I'd recommend you do the second one, no matter what): 1)...

Error #1 - job creation. In the long view, the jobs created to build such a railway are "temporary"; it may take them years to build it, but once it's done, those jobs go away, and the workers will have to search out new jobs. Error #2 - spending the money, man-power, and resources of an...

Thank you for making the point much better than I did.
