What was once considered entertainment is now so horribly disgusting. One thing I am sure of. The arrests haven't changed just because the show stoppe...

"Good people go to heaven as a deserved reward for a virtuous life, and bad people go to hell as a just punishment for an immoral life; in that way, t...

So you've shown the folly of a literalist caricature version of Christianity. Challenge yourself and arrive at a version that makes sense to you.

Hockey is HUGE in Georgia. Every winter, we put our skates on, grab our sticks, and jump in the lake and it's game on!. My favorite childhood sports m...

I think both sides accuse the other of trying to fit students into a mold so that the next generation will be in their image. Everyone claims indoctri...

Isn't a healthy state of affairs if people are afraid to be racist, for example, or do you envision the ideal state where you can go up to someone, sp...

Yeah, Rockefeller, we're not all so wealthy as to be able to afford pre-prepared canned beans.

I bought dried beans and that will be the main ingredient, so we're looking at bean chili. The meat will be cow.

I'm making some chili in the crock pot tomorrow. Thoughts?

Naive maybe.

There's no more confusing way to prove that one's free speech is being suppressed than by discussing all the things one is not permitted to discuss.

I do believe in speaking truth to power, but I see no value in speaking truth to every guy trying to make a TikTok video. If you think yourself heroic...

They're not bullies. They're just annoying, so they go ignored. If you stick a microphone in my face and ask me my views of abortion, I doubt I'd resp...

My comment was that refraining from discussing one's position isn't equivalent to internally suppressing one's position. Whether that behavior is cowa...

They are not internally blocking or hindering their own thought. They are reacting in a socially appropriate way to a situation that that might lead t...

I took the test a few times and came back an INTJ, but I think I straddle the E/I line. I can be outgoing until I'm not, then I'm done.

The shells are made from the iron deposits in their blood that form stainless steel when combined with chrome, which is the most common operating syst...

All mammals have hair, with theirs being on their belly.

Cool! This is the world's largest doghead. I actually stumbled upon iit n the wild./uploads/resized/files/z9/ieau6oo96rd4m53q.jpg

In your nature/man/God division, the above distinguishes between nature and man, but not God. The God category though is the question of the OP, which...

X = everything. X(b) world include the non-exustent, like elves, ghosts, and gods. And so that's the point. The lack of a physical referent does not, ...

I didn't read it that way. The OP states the supernatural is an empty useless term, but the existence of the supernatural isn't necessary for the term...

"Two species, the northern naked-tailed armadillo and nine-banded armadillo, are found in Central America; the latter has also reached the United Stat...

Yeah, and I didn't know there was coal in Georgia. Been an educational day.

Now that you remind me, my dad did work in the coal mines. It try not to remember. Tough times. In other news, I came upon a family of armadillos toda...

He took us with him to pick up cans from the side of the road to help him with his community service hours. If you're going to make fun of my back woo...

It's the trains that makes European travel so superior to US travel. My childhood trips took place in the back of a station wagon broken up by an occa...

I imagined you a few years older.

For those traveling from Europe, I'd recommend flying into Newark and spending your entire trip there in a hotel near the airport. Tons to do right th...

I most definitely ate a lobster roll in Boston. They were really proud of them. There are no lobsters in the bayou. Those are crawfish, which would co...

My favorite trip of all time was when I slept under the stars in the heat of the Louisiana swamp. The mosquitos stung me all night and buzzed in my ea...

Alrighty then, but we were so hoping you would stop by. I'll go ahead and roll up the red carpet. After you walk the freedom trail or whatever it is a...

Lots of cats to see at the Hemmingway house.

I've actually been to Carcassonne. I took the train from Paris and talked to a guy who knew less English than I knew French. He had some sort of home ...

My Scotland story is that I took a train from London to Edinburgh (which is terribly mispronounced) and I stood at the castle on the north Atlantic wh...

I don't see the Garden of Eden mentioned in the OP. Nowhere in the story of Eden does it talk about parents and the duties owed to them. The commandme...

To the extent God is portrayed in an anthropomorphic way, and especially in a paternalistic way (as in God the father), there is a parallel between pa...

I've heard that the Scots say yestreen for last night. Please confirm.

I had it once for sure and maybe a second time. I also have had 3 vaccinations, but the first time I got Covid was before they had vaccinations. The f...

You can approach and ask them for directions. They're pretty nice actually, they just get ornery with all the tourists.

I went to Yellowstone during the height of Covid and it was pretty empty. It was the greatest trip ever. My two sons just went to Israel now that Covi...

Would that be a person who steals your peace? Expect to see that two word response to any post where someone attacks my position. I might add a "Fucki...

Hopefully he can now go back to being a pirate in peace.

I used to live in Michael. I just said that so you'd know how gay it sounded when you said you used to live in me.

Like that's the only reason my little München.

In the heat of passion, my wife calls me @"Baden". I find the @ symbol the most troubling part of it.

My wife's diminutive name for me is hugeycockeyfuckeywucky. Even my dimunitized name can't fully contain the massivisity of my manliness.
