Answer to:
Juan Williams - was he given the shaft for what? not progressive enough? not black enough? who are the bigots here?
It has nothing to do with any of the things that are being discussed. It has to do with George Soros giving NPR 1.8 million reasons to fire him the night before. He has stated his hatred of Fox News and Glenn Beck, and his desire to destroy them. He gave NPR 1.8 million dollars to get rid of Juan Williams and the groveled and took the money. NPR now doesn't even have a token black male.

How old are you? Too young to remember that day? Because we all sat and watched those planes hit on TV, watched the buildings burn in an inferno of unspent jet fuel that was meant for transcontinental or transoceanic flights, watched the overheated beams buckle and the towers collapse.

Candidates on the left don't appear on Fox News/those on the right don't appear on MSNBC. Why vote for anyone who is afraid of questions?
MSNBC is no longer a credible news outlet. I don't think anyone from either side should appear on that network. They are owned by GE, and GE took stimulus money. That is no longer a news outlet, that is Pravda.
The jury is still out on CBS and ABC, but MSNBC is a dangerous organization, and we no longer turn that station on at all. After yesterday, PBS and NPR will no longer be on in our...

Isn't the biggest joke of the year, NPR and "journalistic standards"?
Well, unfortunately, its far from a joke. When George Soros gives them $1.8 million on the 20th, with the express purpose of getting rid of Fox and specifically Glenn Beck, and on the 21st, they fire a journalist who appears on both networks, that is hardly a joke. That is muzzling free speech. I don't think they should get one dime more of our money. If George Soros wants his own network,...

Nope, not in the least. Maybe your father didn't do it right.

It tapered off really fast. I was never spanked past twelve, mostly because I'd learned to govern myself and didn't get in trouble...

have you reduced your sugar intake since you know it is unhealthy ?
I had for many years, and then I found out that artificial sweetener was even more unhealthy, at least for me. I'm allergic to every blessed one of them. So since I don't drink soft drinks, juices or eat any sweetened food, I figured a little sugar in my morning coffee and a little on my cereal wasn't going to kill me. Other than coffee, I drink water or milk, so I'm not really worried.

What are the laws on baby executions?
Its perfectly legal, as long as you do it before the child clears the mother's body, or after if it survives an abortion. Basically if you don't want the child, its okay to execute it, so long as you do it before its born.
That is the serious WTF for me.

Just like with a kid wheedling for candy, all parents don't always give in and give the kid what it wants. We all die. Get over it. You aren't going to escape death by refusing to believe in God. What you will miss is the chance of heaven. Your call.
Answer to:
What do satanists believe happens when they die?

WHY ARE THE KEY SET UP THE WAY THEY ARE FOR TYPWRIGHTERS AND COMPUTERS, WHO DECIDED THAT?
The very early typewriters had a problem. The keys could get crossed up and jammed if you typed to fast. The keys were intentionally scrambled to slow people down to the speed at which the machine could keep up. Once people learned to type on a QWERTY keyboard, it was very hard to switch back to an alphabetical keyboard.

How might global warming affect Earth’s air, land, and water??
Anything you come up with would be pure speculation, as no one can predict the future. The best way to come up with an educated guess would be to look at what happened all the other times the Earth warmed, you know, before cars, factories, air conditioning and all those other things that are supposed to cause it.

Yup. If a guy has kept it in his pants, then there is no reason for him to pay the piper.

Some others see men that way because that is what their father was, and the over-generalize. I was the latter type, until I met my husband. Not only did he reform my view, but he...

I don't know of any place or anyone that says God is omnibenevolent. You don't get it because you are putting something in that isn't there.

Can the US allow American Muslims to practice Sharia Law, considering it conflicts with Constitutional rights beyond the 1st Amendment?
No law supersedes the Constitution and the law of the land. Do you understand that allowing Muslims to practice Sharia law would be a bloodless coup? We don't have a king in this country. That is something that has always been different about the USA. Since we have become a nation unto ourselves, we have never had a king. We have never had a dictator. We have had the Constitution and...

God created you. God created him. He created you for something more satisfying than cold sex with a hot body. It might help you to read the Bible and find out what that is. We are not meant to just...

Why do people pick on child molesters? I would feel more threatened living next to a murderer than a child molester.

Child molesters frequently see a child as an object to use, something like a blow up doll. They see nothing wrong with using a child in a sexual act, because they don't see the child as anything that matters. And if they think they will get caught, or if they just feel like doing it, they have no more compunction over killing the child than...

I'm guessing that you may have missed the little catch in the bobbin case, that that is leaving the loops on the surface instead of pulling them down inside the fabric. When the thread isn't looped down inside of the fabric, you have unequal tension on the two pieces of thread, and it will pull up into gathers. In fact,...

Does celeb gossip interest or disgust you?
It swings between disinterest and disgust for me. I'm not surprised that when I run across celebrity gossip anymore, I rarely know the names or faces of the people in the stories anymore. The last movie I watched in a theater was The Patriot. I haven't rented a movie in so long that I doubt my membership is current. I have no idea how to download a movie. And I never watch network TV...

For those of you who do not cuss, would you date somebody who loves to cuss/is a potty mouth?
Nope, I wouldn't have. I'm married now, so I'm not dating anyone, but my bedrock deal breaker when I was dating was character, and that would have been a pretty clear sign of low character, ie: someone who doesn't care who he offends, but selfishly wants to do whatever he wants to do.

There used to be one, before the great overhaul of last Christmas. There also used to be the ability for you to earn the right to give more points to good answers as you progressed in levels. Taking those two things away was the tipping point that caused many of the senior members at the top of the Leaderboards to leave.

Answer to:
The bible says that god is a jealous god. Does that make jealously an acceptable "moral law"?
If you think that a parent is wrong when they jealously guard the safety of their child because it is their child and it is their job, then maybe it is wrong. We are God's creation. He loves us. He wants what is best for us. He wants to protect us from what is evil and dangerous. He is jealous about the influences of evil upon us. If you think that is wrong, I don't know what to tell...
Answer to:
Why did the 8/28 rally lack the stabbings, shootings, vandalism, and trashing of the race-hustlers' gatherings?
Probably because it wasn't the kind of rally that would attract people who were inclined to commit stabbings, shootings, vandalism or hate speech, unless they would want to come to attack the participants.

Did you enjoy comic strips as a child? If so, which one was your favorite? What about as an adult?
I don't like any of them anymore. I stopped reading them in disgust several years ago. Part of it is that I've changed, and part of it is that the comics have become very angry instead of funny.

What type of wood doesn't float? I need to make a rope ladder for my boat and it needs to dangle under water.
Put weights on the ends. It'll be cheaper than getting some exotic wood that doesn't float. If it were me, I'd use locust or cypress or cedar for their resistance to rot. Locust might be the best choice, as it is also very fibrous and tough, thus less likely to break when it is saturated with water. Although locust might be a bit splintery for bare feet. But I'd put metal weights on the...

I can ask forgiveness later if they've chosen the former.

By definition, a group of Christians doing the above activity together is a church, but it may not involve a building, a choir, an organ, a praise band, pews, or any other trappings of what we think of as a church....

And cells are constantly being bathed, nourished, oxygenated and cleaned by the bloodstream. If we are cells, wouldn't we need to...

If you are rich and famous, sometimes you can get away with murder, or raping a juvenile cancer victim in Michael Jackson's case.

That was what those juries loosed upon the general public.

What causes someone to "speak in tongues"?
Well, that depends. Yes, there are people who fake it for nefarious reasons. But someone who is genuinely speaking intelligibly in a language that is foreign to them and which they have never learned to speak, does it at the leading of and by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Answer to:
Since all human beings are heading toward the same destination, why aren't we more helpful and kind to one another along the way?
Because we are all sinners, and sin tends to harm others. Some people strive to do the right thing, and only sin inadvertently and some seek out every opportunity to sin that they can possibly find, but we all sin. You will never breed that out. You will never educate that out. You will never progress that out. You will never train that out, or extinguish it by behavior modification. And...

Answer to:
If Mary and Joseph come from the same lineage, wouldn't they be related making their relationship incest?
Its only incest if it is immediate family: father, mother, siblings, aunts, uncles, first cousins. Second cousins is allowed. In small towns, even today, everyone is related to everyone else. It has only been with the recent invention of motor vehicles and modern roads and railroads that anything else was even possible, let alone the norm.
Answer to:
How do you think someone would describe the experience of loving you?
Plenty. All you have to do is open the book and read it, preferably in chronological order. You need to remember that the books of the Bible are in order by length, not chronology. It has only been very recently that book binding progressed to the point that all 66 books of the Bible could be bound into one volume, and the books were arranged to facilitate more primitive book binding,...

Why won't my tomato plants produce tomatos?
It's too hot this summer. Tomatoes don't pollinate in heat. They will drop their blooms when it gets too hot, and even if they don't drop them, they are wind pollinated and when the air gets hot and still the pollen doesn't get to the blooms.

Teach your kids to do laundry. If you don't, they will leave home not knowing how and they will ruin a lot of clothing. Take them to the laundry room and teach them how to sort, pretreat, dry and fold. Then set up a schedule for who does what, when.

Answer to:
How much money would one save if they hung their clothes on an outside clothesline compared to using a tradition dryer? Lets say they wash about one load of laundry a week.
It is difficult to estimate that, as the price of electricity varies widely from one state to another. However, the dryer tends to be the biggest user of electricity in the average home, outside of a hair dryer if you use those. Every month that I use the lines instead of the dryer, it roughly halves my electric bill. Now understand, we don't use hair dryers and we have a gas water heater....
Answer to:
How do I dry clothes on a clothesline outside?
There are many different ways to hang clothes on a clothesline, starting with the lines themselves.
One popular type of clothesline is a loop of line over two pulleys. One pulley is usually affixed to something high, like a pole, a windmill tower, the side of the barn or in urban areas, the window trim of the next building. The other side is affixed to your back porch, your kitchen window...
Answer to:
Where should you hang a clothesline?
I'd go a little further than the professionally researched answer.
1. You want your line on a south facing side if possible, so that strong sunlight will bleach your whites.
2. You don't want to block any place you may have to be able to drive in the lawn. If you are on a farm, don't block where the tractor has to go. In town, don't block your access into your back yard. If there is no...

If only one party feels that way, it isn't real love. You cannot make a loving relationship out of serving someone if they don't want to do the same for you....

I've not tried it, but if I had a project of that sort, I think this is what I would try.

Answer to:
Did Christianity emerge from existing religious and cultural templates?
No, it emerged from God.
I always love it when people limit their intellectual questioning to "we know there is no God, so we must limit our arguments to those that do not contain God." That is postulating a conclusion and shaping the evidence to fit it, not forming a testable hypothesis and following the evidence where it leads.

Did banning the Nazi flag and symbols get rid of neo-Nazism in Europe? Will banning the burqa get rid of ...?
No and no. The problem with the idea of banning Nazi symbols was that the Nazis colonized parts of South America with an eye toward recolonizing Germany.

The best way to not bring them down is to also be self-sacrificially be cheerful rather than wallowing...

Congratulations, you are going to have an easy delivery. Yes, that used to be considered normal until c-section became the new norm, with the admonition to grow them and we'll get them out. I only gained 19 1/2 pounds total and had a 7 pound 1 ounce baby. Granted, I'm obese to begin with. But thirty pounds total used to be considered normal, and most of the gain comes in the last eight weeks.

Its the teachers fault, it's the parents fault, its the kids fault, its the administrations fault, its the lack of money, its the too big class sizes, its the lack of discipline. Everyone had a theory and all seemed to make a certain amount of sense.
Then I got a teaching degree and...

You're driving down the freeway, you get pulled over for broken tail light. you have license, reg.,& insur. The officer wants to search your vehicle, no probable cause. Do you let them?
Well here is the thing. The best offense is a good defense. That is why I do my very best to keep my vehicle in good working order. I check my tail lights and brake lights pretty routinely. When I was single, I would back into a space in front of a plate glass window, such as at a strip mall or convenience store, so that I could see the tail lights and brake lights in my reflection as I...

I've driven Ford products all my life until my current car. I've had or driven a Fairmont, Escort, F250, Tempo, two Rangers and a Jeep with a Ford engine. I have not had a Taurus, so I may be off a bit on parts. My first thought is that it isn't breathing properly....

Isn't the ''wrath of God'' in fact the wrath of Satan? Don't ''wrath'' and ''God'' depict two entire different realms?
God is both perfectly love and perfectly justice. Those are two pretty difficult natures to reconcile, but He is both, and to recognize one without the other is an idolatry: you are not really worshiping God if you are only worshiping half of Him.
The problem is that you cannot have justice without punishment and wrath. It isn't a comfortable thing to deal with, but there it is...

China has had a one child policy, with an exception allowing two for farmers, or when the first one is disabled. Israel also has a fairly low birth rate, they aren't in negative numbers like so much of the world, but they aren't growing particularly rapidly either.

Answer to:
Why do some Christians or any religions say that if Adolph Hitler was truly sorry for what he did he would go to heaven/ (I don't get it)
First of all, you have to understand that the word is repent. Repenting doesn't just mean feeling or expressing sorrow for what you have done. Repenting means turning from those actions and behaviors that separated you from God and submitting to His will. You can't just say, "my bad, I'm sorry" in exchange for a "get into heaven free" card. You have to have completely wrenched your will...

What fabric are feed sacks made of?
There is more than one item called a feed sack, and I'm not sure which one you mean.
First, there is the type of feed sack that is used to store grain. Once upon a time, that was made of burlap, but by thirty years ago, most of them were made of woven plastic, and now most are paper.

Ever wonder why people apologize? Once angry words are released apologies can never erase them...they live forever so what's the point?
No one is perfect. No one can avoid ever offending another person. Sometimes the person in question is actually better off for having heard the words, they are doing something wrong that will harm them or that is harming you or a third party and need to change. Nevertheless, you can still express sorrow for their pain, either to ease the pain or to repair the relationship.

Those kids are so well loved and cared for, and I'd rather see one family have 19 and care for them that well, that see 19 single moms have one kid each and neglect them.

It is quite possible for someone to change in the course of their lives.

A lot of suds. If you put dish soap in the washer it will get beaten into a froth that will overflow the machine and likely even short it out and ruin it. Same in a dishwasher. Only use liquid dish soap for hand washing dishes. You can also use it sparingly to pretreat greasy stains on clothing, but the key is sparingly.

That sounds about right. If you don't do that, you get tiny fruit that only has a bite or two on it, and the limbs don't get strong enough to bear the weight. In the little experience I've had with fruit trees, yellow delicious seems to be pretty easily broken. If I'm not mistaken, Red Delicious is usually used to pollinate Golden Delicious because they bloom together. Its about the only...

Why is mrsa resistant to antibiotics?
MRSA means Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureas. Staph bacteria normally lives on your skin. It is part of your normal flora and does no harm unless it gets inside your body. The problem is that with decades of overuse of antibiotics, staph germs have been exposed to many, many antibiotics. Those staph bacteria that have survived the repeated onslaughts of antibiotics are the very...

My husband had the same problem, and for years most of his friends were women. Then he found out that real men hang out in church, and he now has plenty of buddies.

If you remember, the poster was attached at the top. He lifted the bottom edge of the poster, crawled through and allowed it to fall like a curtain behind him.

Answer to:
Why should i get baptised? I believe in god but i\'m not affiliated with any church.
Read the Bible, and see what it says about baptism.
Mark 16:15He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Also, be aware of what the Bible says about not belonging to a church.

What causes zits and/or bumps to get on our tongues sometimes? I cant stand it.
There are many different causes for zits and bumps on the tongue. For myself, I can say that I used to have them all the time, but since I was diagnosed with food allergies and stopped eating all the culprits, I haven't had one.

Answer to:
I want to buy JUST a superman cape that i can wrap around my neck for a party as i have everthing else. Where can i get one? (Adult)
Make one. Go to your local fabric store and buy about a yard and a half of red fleece. Fleece doesn't ravel, and it is fairly stretchy and form fitting. Cut it to shape and sew a band around the neck. You can probably get a pattern for it, but it is would be pretty easy to do it anyway.

Answer to:
Would you think it unprofessional for a doctor or nurse to cry over someone's illness or death?
No, I would think they were human. If you are a doctor, you know that everyone dies eventually, and you have to cope with that. You have to build a bit of a wall, because if you grieved deeply over every patient you lost, you would not be able to go forward with your job. You would end up dropping out of the profession and bagging groceries for a living. But there will always be cases that...

Answer to:
Can one bad apple really ruin the entire barrel?
In apples, absolutely. When one apple rots, the juice and microbes run onto the apples around it and start rot in them until the whole barrel is affected and inedible. In people, free will has an effect, and one person can refuse to follow the behavior and standards of another, however, they will still be tainted in the minds of others by the association.
Just as an example, my child has a...
Answer to:
Has the person who used to be your shining star ever dimmed or disappeared entirely?
More than a few of them. One used to be my great hero, until I met her. After that I wasn't even sure I liked her anymore. Others have proved to be gracious and much more than I expected. It just goes to show that marketing is a powerful tool, but it doesn't always present the real person.

Answer to:
What would you tell your children if they asked "Who created God?"?
I would tell her that there are many things in existence that we cannot answer, either with science or by any other means. There will always be questions that go into infinity or outside of space and time, and even science cannot answer them. Science cannot be infinite, because it is a field of study done by finite human beings. We cannot get outside the universe to see what is out there....
Answer to:
Memories...some fade and some become more vivid. Which memories do you hold most dear...the recent ones or those of very long ago?
Actually, the memories which are sharpest to me are unanswered questions. You know how when you are a kid, sometimes you really want to ask something or understand something, but you are told to hush by a harried parent, or you don't have the command of the language to frame the question in a way adults understand? Those questions are the sharpest memories in my mind. I find that if I recall...

Answer to:
Christians, how do you feel when atheists "try to get you to think"?
I think it is amusingly presumptuous. They usually have not even considered that it is pretty obvious in my answers that I have thought and studied long and hard and I'm continuing to do so. It means that they have completely ignored the level of research and citation that usually goes into one of my answers.
It usually means that they have totally ignored the obvious fact that I have a...
