Full disclosure, I didn't finish his book and mostly went through some of the major points he was making. I don't believe he was biased, as he argues the same things many Christian scholars have been arguing for decades, and even cites them. None of the information in his book, at least from...

Great job anitram :applaud:

I actually mentioned that in my post so I guess you misread it! Why not? As long as you teach someone that they never have to do anything they don't want to do, I don't see a problem with it. That's the mentality I was raised with and I turned out to be fairly normal. ...fairly. A math...

BLESS THIS POST. This is exactly what I'm talking about, though worded much more poignantly.

I left a forum for this very reason. It was small and all the members knew each other over 10+ years but since every subject had been "talked about" people just responded to anyone new with sarcastic one worded posts and chased the new posters away. It just doesn't contribute to discussion at...

My new munchkin! :love:

I hate the jerk who went and reserved my stall out from under my nose. :angry: Now I have to use one of the smaller tack lockers. Booooo.

According to Gawker and several other news sites, she DID have a pseudonym: Tiffany Six. However in explaining the scenario behind stupid decisions, people who are desperate and depressed can do really dumb things. They may feel as though there is no hope for a future and throw everything...

So I can get fired by my current job because I didn't list job history that was unrelated to the job? That does not sound very fair at all. My prior job history has no effect or consequence to my current and is irrelevant. I don't list it because I did a lot of seasonal 3-6 month jobs, all in a...

Not all erotic art is pornographic in nature, but pornographic things can be considered art. I never said they were all the same thing. I just referred to porn as erotic art. Porn is explicit, but explicit things can be very artistic! Not all artistic depictions of the human body are explicit...

That's why many porn stars go under a pseudonym. When people get found it's not because their name was searched. It's because someone recognized them in a video. Let's just say I know more than one person who has gotten "busted" this way. And again, while I may have admired a teacher or two I...

They're really not, or at least, not in my experience (and yes I have experience with this). They really won't be affected by it all that much. For one, had they not been looking at porn on their own in the first place they never would have found her, and for another, just how traumatized do...

I still need to lose ten pounds and get fit. People say I don't need to lose weight because I'm small or what-have-you but the truth is that my resting heart rate has gone up by almost 30BPM since I gained weight and I've been feeling ill nonstop. My body fat percentage is also still too high...

This isn't elementary school. This is middle school, and this is ONE teacher for ONE subject who spends 40 minutes with those students a day talking about science. I'm not being contradictory in my post either by meaning one thing and saying another to a kid. You think boys don't go home and...

Middle schoolers are not so naive that they don't know exactly what's going on in the video. Most middle schoolers I know, though I hate to say it, know exactly what porn is and some are even regular watchers of it. Huge reality check here, many grade schoolers have seen porn. Any parent who...

I just don't get what's wrong with appearing in a sexual film in the past. This is another one of those societal issues. It is not a decision I would make, but it's not something I would fire another person over. What, is she going to give the children STDs? I think this is another way school...

I agree. This is anecdotal but I don't personally know that many Christians who are hated on or made fun of in America (unless you count some rude atheist saying "GOD'S NOT REAL" which equally offends all religions). I do however know a ton of muslims and jews who have had nasty remark after...

I agree. I'm usually more left than people on here by a lot, though I right separate social and economic politics when considering where I am on the charts.

The sad thing is, it isn't unprofessional to address criticism, especially criticism that may be reputation damaging. It shouldn't be considered as such. It's how you go about it that's important.

I'm torn on this issue because on one hand I have no idea why I should care or why it's on my news feed and on the other hand it's really fun to speculate. Cheating is a funny thing. I've seen it justified in multiple ways and I understand the arguments and sentiment behind it but I still see...

Bless this post. :applaud:

I should clarify (unrelated to digitize's comment) that I didn't mean the majority of votes I just meant the majority of land. Example, the majority of Washington state is republican except for the most densely populated areas of the state. That doesn't necessarily mean more voters are republican.

I don't have much to say on the electoral college but I will say this: there are plenty of times that the majority of the state is one party, but the opposite party wins, and it's actually better for the state. This applies to democratic states and republican states. The people end up liking the...

As someone who has a job in a predominantly male field I have to say that yes, feminism is still relevant and sexism is still rampant. It isn't even about equal pay, it's about the strange assumptions and rules and gender roles forced upon women in this day and age. That is not to say that men...
