    To those who are Catholic and think masturbation is wrong...

    Ok - now I simply have to step in. ALL versions of the bible are interpreted translations of the original text. A guy named King James (sound familiar) had the bible translated, edited in places to match his beliefs, and then destroyed the originals. Historians now know that the entire point...

    CU Prof calls 9/11 victims "little Eichmanns" in an Essay

    I've seen that argument before from less renowned sources. Doesn't make it right, but it isn't something that is new, either...

    The Prize in my kids Sonic Kids meal pissed me off

    Oh please! What they teach children as "spanish" in this country isn't even understandable to someone who lives in Spain. In some spanish classrooms (like the two different ones I had in high school), you're not even getting spanish that a Mexican would understand. My cousins in Barcelona...

    The Prize in my kids Sonic Kids meal pissed me off

    If we're going to go that far, why not encourage the U.S. residents who do speak English to use it correctly when on the internet as well?

    And English is spoken on four continents. Your point?

    The Prize in my kids Sonic Kids meal pissed me off

    Exactly - someone in Spain shouldn't have to learn English. Likewise, someone in Mexico wouldn't have to learn English. However, I know where Citrix lives and around there, the Mexicans (a good portion of whom are in the country illegally) not only expect but demand that we speak Spanish to...

    Wal-Mart workers charged in cat shooting

    Except that in most municipalities, you'd still go to jail for discharging a firearm within city limits... Just another example of the catch-22 that most of our laws provide. - Alatariel

    I see the parallel, but I have to agree with Citrix. The only idiot with stupid knee-jerk posts I see in this thread is you... - Alatariel

    Pension Funds/IRAs question

    Hello all! I just got a new job and I'm filling out all of my paperwork to set up my benefits - one of which is a pension fund. What I am concerned about is who to list as a contingent beneficiary. Specifically, I want to know what happens to the money if something happens to me and my...

    Drafted and confused

    I have been drafted to put on the Christmas party for my son's Cub Scout Pack. We have a room at the local rec center for a couple of hours and a sweet deal for the boys and their families to participate in the activities that the site has to offer. The question is this: what kinds of...

    WHY HATE ISLAM AND MUSLIMS !!!

    I'm annoyed enough, that I'll save Citrix the trouble. Look more closely. Matthew 27:28 clearly says that Jesus was robed in scarlet during his final hours. John 19:2 clearly says that he was robed in purple. Was Jesus given vinegar as in Matthew 27:34 or wine with myrrh as in Mark 15:23...
