I also believe lack of understanding of socialism. I'm not a socialist, but I do fight against social injustice and elitism, and try to level the playing field for those who are in lower classes so they at least have a fighting chance. But I am not sure any political structure is in violations...

Thank you. This will be a tough year for both of us, I'm sure, but that only means there will be plenty of opportunities to confront resentments and earn trust.

Thanks everyone... it always helps to "talk" through emotional stuff like this. Tango, you're right... bolting can happen. Soon after I got my pup when the ex and I were still together, I came home from work when he had the dog out for his business. Wilbur saw me and bolted towards me and the...

A pup was run over. :( I was on my way to get groceries and left my driveway just in time to see a car run over it across the street. Front tires, dog rolled several times and tried to run away, but was hit again - back tire ran right over it and stopped while still part on the dog. The driver...

It began as a discussion of amends (he will take care of finances around here while I save for a year and then go to grad school). When I asked if he was serious, he said yes, as long as it would be with the goal of reuniting. I agreed, as long as he also covered several counselling sessions for...

Two and a half years after our initial separation, my ex is moving back in... into my son's old room (son moved out earlier this year). The marriage ended badly, but it is not up to me to give any details, aside from the fact that I still go through bouts of resentment from time to time (not...

I do not agree with the death penalty, but if I did, I think there would need to be an assessment done by a developmental psychologist to determine development of conscience, morals, and capacity. An 8-yar-old might be in such a strong tantrum and stab a parent to death in that tantrum, but...

Okay, everyone, this seems to be a busy forum, so I'll say it here. Get your game on and join in playing Clue! I've never even played the game before and I am one of the TWO who have signed up for it! And this is coming from a member who very rarely ventures out from the ladies' forum. Let's get...

My first home was a beauty! All I had to do was paint inside. It had a tenant in the suite who wanted to stay. It was great! Till the tenant moved out and I found his sofa had been hiding a huge hole in the floorboards. Turned out all the floor was rotted out, including the sub-floor risers...

I had a resident like this, back when I was a nurse. She was 112 years old and needed only minimal care until she broke her hip. She then had zero quality of life. She would call out, begging to kill her because "God forgot to let [her] die." She'd never taken any kind of drug, not even a cup of...

I don't know this will hold up in courts. Years ago, the RCMP took to the courts to argue about turbans versus traditional police hats. Turbans won. The RCMP officers who require a turban, have a special one designed with police colours and logo so that they can be identified as police. We are...

My advice? You could always study the subject a little deeper, particularly with regard to translation, context and cultural issues, as you will find that the English versions of the Bible often mistranslate "separation" into "divorce". "Separation" as in "sending away a wife without the...

Thank you, Jazzy and Yakety's! This was indeed a very generous donation, and I think it says a lot about the quality of the owners of Yakety's to do something like this. Congratulations to them on their win!

Lamb, you're the best! Everyone here loves you, but for me, you have become what I consider a close friend and confidante on a personal level as well as in forums. You are kind, gentle, tactful, and I know that if we lived in the same town, you would be that person for me that I could just call...

Last night on the news I saw clips of him touching women, attempting to kiss them on the head, touching their hair... that's not okay. Yes, there are women who will jump into bed at the first chance, but in the workplace, that's not okay. It's never been okay, but women have tolerated it because...

How can we hate those we are commanded to honour? I choose honour.

The love of God is far greater than our itty-bitty minds can even begin to ponder. I do believe there are those who love to the best of their capacity at least some of the time.

God knows our hearts. I think this is shedding some light on what being a Christian could cost us. We can't really say we are Christians unless we are willing to pay what it might cost. There are believers all over the world who pay the cost every day, and it might cost some more than others. I...

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask. It might be unreasonable to expect that all Christians will do this all the time.
