RE: My America

Ah, if you were in AL when all this was going on, you couldn't help but follow it, that's all they talked about on the news for a while. As I said, I thought he was genuine at first too, but the bigger deal he made out of it, the more I started to doubt his motives. It was just a little plaque on the wall at first, then when he turned it into that huge stone monument that's touring the country now, he totally turned me off.

RE: My America

He could have had it, just not in the way that he wanted to display it. He could have displayed the ten commandmants as part of adisplay of historical documents that our laws are based on, but he wouldn't have that.

Roy Moore is a fraud and a hypocrite, IMO, and just used the issue and made a bigger deal out of it than it would have been, thinking it would win him votes. It back-fired on him. He made this huge monument and had it installed in the courthouse under cover of darkness, knowing that it would be against the law. If a judge can't abide by the law, even if he doesn't like it or agree with it, he has no business being a judge. He's not for religious freedom, he's for freedom for himself to do whatever he wants to do. He also made a statement that he wouldn't allow a Muslim to give an opening prayer in his court, but he wants that right for himself.

I've been following this for several years, before the rest of the country even knew who he was. I thought he was genuine at first. As a matter of fact, he did have the ten commandments in his courtroom for years, when he was just an appointed county judge. It wasn't until he was running for a judgeship that it became an issue. He made it one.

He's the worst kind of politician, one who panders to the fears and biases of the lowest common denominator of the society he is in. Not someone that Christians should hold up as a role model. He is like the hypocrites that Jesus said not to be like, praying in the streets to be seen by others, they already have their reward.

When you're ready, she will appear.

RE: o'bama o'bama o'bama o'bama

Christians don't want to send anyone to hell, because we're not capable of sending people to hell.

People are responsible for their own choices, no one else makes that decision for them.

RE: ladies only

Yeah, I'll pretend you're not an idiot, if you'll pretend to be human.

RE: Sharon and Me

I am devastated!!

Good luck man, and have fun!

RE: Gone Baby Gone

I really liked it. Recommended it to a friend, she didn't like it so much, and her husband wouldn't even watch it all. Some of the characters you just want to slap, but that's what it's about. It was sad, I enoyed it, but don't think I'd want to watch it again either. It was real well made and the acting was great.

RE: So..

Uhhh, check out the times on all these threads. This place never sleeps.

RE: HOW CAN YOU TELL THE DIFERENCE BETWEEN BRITISH PEOPLE & AMERICAN PEOPLE ABROAD WITHOUT THEM SPEAKING

Why would you need to?

Hey, you've finally come up with a question no one can answer!

RE: why

Because men are fallible and imperfect, and have free will to make wrong choices. Because people have religion without having God in their hearts.

RE: how many of us have had a visitation

Wow, freaky. Maybe someone was trying to tell him something?

RE: how many of us have had a visitation

I haven't had a visitation of a higher power, rather a permanent occupant in my heart and life.

RE: Do you judge people before you get to know them?

And you are judging all Christians in that statement, based on your perception of some that you have met.

RE: Do you judge people before you get to know them?

I think of judgment in the context of sentencing someone to a punishment, or deciding if they are good or bad. I can't condemn or condone anyone. I can decide how I relate to them.

RE: The surrealism compliment generator...

Masticating? Do cod have teeth?

Maybe wayward ones do.

RE: Do you judge people before you get to know them?

When I've gone against my gut instinct it's always been a problem for me so I will continue to judge and trust my initial feeling about somebody.
I'm the same Jan... I completely trust my gut instinct when it comes to people, it saved my life when I was 9 years old and it's allowed my to go into compromising or scary situations with confidence. So many of the experiences I had while traveling involved trusting people, I met a man on the bus in PNG and wound up living with a tribe in the jungle for two weeks, but I knew I could trust him and am so happy to have had that experience!

This may be splitting hairs, but I consider that assessing, not judging. Judgment implies condemnation of a person for what you perceive them to be. Assessment is simply deciding if and how you will interact with a person. Or maybe that's just using good judgment.

RE: why

There are so many religions, because there are so many people, with different ways of relating to the one true God.

Religion is man's way of trying to understand God, who is beyond our understanding. God can't be contained in a box, or a book or a building.

RE: Love

Thx gt, it couldn't be more wonderful.

RE: roses are red violets are blue............

Roses are red, daisies are yellow
I think you are one sick fellow.

RE: Why beg to be hurt!

And bigger fools are afraid to go in at all.

RE: The surrealism compliment generator...

You are more beautiful than a bouquet of fossils.

Is that a crack about my age? :where's the indignant emoticon:

RE: Love

Love isn't just something you feel, it's something you do.

I know that this being a singles site, we're mostly talking about romantic love, but that's not even the most important love for me. The love that I feel as I hold this precious tiny baby girl, filling my whole being with joy; the love that I do as I give her a bottle, and buy her bunny slippers for her first Easter basket. The love I feel as I see my little girl, who was my wild child accident-waiting-to-happen for a few years, being a beautiful mommy; the love I do when I get up early on my day off because she needs her mommy. Those are the most important loves in my life, for now and always. That is true love.

RE: The surrealism compliment generator...

Me too, what's with all the bowling references.

Woods nymphs sprinkle your path with bowling balls while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover heads of lettuce.

RE: What do you do to deal with your frustration/anger?

Go far a drive and scream. Haven't had to do that in a very long time though.

Don't worry, I don't drive fast or have road rage when I'm mad.

RE: The surrealism compliment generator...

I love your eyes, but only with ketchup.

Ewwww, I love it!

RE: DO YOU

Doesn't bother me any, if they're not interested, why waste their time and mine?

I don't always reply, if I don't know the person and it doesn't seem like a personal address, like they could have sent it to a dozen people. If someone makes a personal comment to me, I will usually.

Do you answer every regular email you get? It's the same thing. JMO

RE: Be gentle.....lol...

Hey ladies, fresh meat!

RE: why do women need

Good answer Kirsten. Don't remember seeing you before, welcome to the funny farm. You'll find out soon enough, if you haven't already, why we call it that!

I bought shoes tonight, and I'm not a bit depressed!
