    should minors be tried as adults

    A lot of fourteen-to-seventeen-year-olds would be very quick to remind you they're not children anymore if they want to be allowed to do something like stay up late or choose their own clothes or watch certain TV shows. So, since they want to be grownups, fine. Let them face grownup consequences...

    Minor but frustrating--how to know if something really is wrong?

    I'll give my husband some piece of information, and even if he verbally acknowledges it, a few minutes later he'll ask a question or make a statement that indicates he didn't hear a word I said. I don't know whether it's short term memory loss, or difficulty hearing which he refuses to have...

    Do you have pierced ears? (or would consider doing it)

    I have two piercings in each lobe. A third set I did in college has closed up. Nowadays I am considered conservative.

    Petty things that shouldn't bother you, but they do

    I don't like it when people spell out "dis" for "this," "dat" for "that," "da" for "the," and "doe" for "though." It's OK when they talk like that naturally, because it's their regional accent, but spelling it like that just looks ignorant. I'm Southern, and I think the same thing if someone...

    Petty things that shouldn't bother you, but they do

    I really haven't been driving very long myself, but I don't understand why people think it's a race out there. Some of them are so afraid you're going to be in FRONT of them at the red light, and they have to make sure you're BEHIND them.

    Petty things that shouldn't bother you, but they do

    This just came up in a conversation with my husband yesterday. We all have those minor irritations that get under our skin. We know in our heads that it's inconsequential, but knowing it and feeling it are two different things. The one that we talked about yesterday was when people even jokingly...

    My eyesight is pathetic sometimes. Too small a screen (like a cell phone) and I can't read it. Too large a screen (like my desktop) and I can read the text but I'll miss something in the corner of the page.

    Thanks for the welcomes. By the way, am I the first or only one to skim the names of the forums and misread "Theology Hall" as "Theology Hell?" Adjusting the text zoom now.....

    Speaking in tongues?

    But if part of the Fruit of the Spirit is *self* control (Galatians 5:22-23) then how do I know it's from God if I'm not in control of what I'm saying? It can be from a "spirit" all right, but not all spirits are from God. (1 John 4:1) Yes, I've seen enough of it to say it's real. I'm just...

    How do you split the chores?

    I have physical disabilities and almost no stamina. I am unable to work at a job outside the home, which means he supports both of us. In fairness I should then do the housework, but if for some reason I can't, he has to fill in the blanks. I'll be able to do the laundry, empty the dishwasher...

    How often does your spouse REALLY listen to you?

    It's not constant. It's only now and then, but when it happens it's pretty frustrating. Sometimes he thinks he heard me say one thing, when I said something else, and he'll react to what he thought I said rather than what I actually said. This can cause a problem until we figure out where the...

    Cat or Dog?

    I could go either way. I don't understand people thinking you have to pick either one or the other. Why can't you love both cats and dogs? What's even more puzzling to me is when people act like in order to love one, you have to HATE the other. They talk about how awful cats are because they...

    How often does your spouse REALLY listen to you?

    A lot of times, even when he's listening, he's not really getting me. This is a bit of a source of frustration for me.

    Speaking in tongues?

    I have spoken in tongues, and I probably still could. But now I'm leery of the idea. Ever since it's been pointed out to me that self-control is part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit--and when I am speaking in tongues I have no idea what I'm going to say next, and I don't feel I'm in control of...

    Those self-righteous Christians!

    I run into a double-bind situation sometimes. On one hand, "I'm a (non-Christian, atheist, Wiccan, whatever) and I'm just as good a person as you are! That's the trouble with you Christians. You're always thinking you're better than everybody else!" My reaction: "I don't at all think I'm better...
