I want to know how people that do these kinds of things can afford to do it. Last time I checked tattoos and piercings aren't exactly cheap. And given his current appearance I sincerely doubt he can get a decent paying job. I know he's in the UK and they have "free" medical care, but I don't...

I would tend to think the reason was an economic decision more than anything else. I highly doubt it would be part of some decision to placate Muslim prisoners. I also don't think it was a decision predicated by prisoner preference. I can't say for sure but I don't really think the prisoners...

I have to agree with you on wanting to see a 100% reduction in the number of mass shootings. And I doubt anyone here would disagree on that aspect. The problem lies in the fact that you have two sides that are diametrically opposed when it comes to resolving the issue. Side A: gun control...

Sounds like you are comparing gun ownership to owning an automobile/getting a driver's license. What kind of "test" are you talking about? Taking a "test" to get a driver's license merely gauges whether the person understands the "rules." Having a driver's license is a privilege not a...

For me it's between Carson and Cruz. What we DON'T need is another "establishment" candidate. I was living in FL when Jeb Bush was governor and he did a fairly good job, but I just don't see him as a good candidate for the presidency. I honestly wish that Allen West was running. And as for...

I would have to agree with you on this approach. All that is usually brought up is related to some kind of “study” that was conducted or on some set of “statistics.” Those things can be used as tools to help understand a broad picture but it's not really a complete picture. Most of the time...

I appreciate your reply. I know what you mean about the possible denial on the first try. I know that nowadays the majority of applications are denied on the initial application. That's why there are so many attorneys involved in these kinds of cases I think. I'm hoping that I might get...

If there is "blame" to be placed it has to be SOLELY upon the individual who is doing the shooting. There are no other culpable parties. The school is a posted "gun-free" zone, except for allowing concealed carry under Oregon law. So unless the people being shot were licensed to carry a...

Of course not. The president certainly doesn't have any concern for it. And he swore an oath to uphold the Constitution which he has violated several times. And Hillary Clinton certainly doesn't care... The Democrats do exactly the same thing when it benefits their agenda and message...

This is a recipe that I got from a friend of mine. Over the years it has become one of my favorite dishes. I hope you like it and if you do make it ... please come back and comment about what you think... This is a slightly modified version of the traditional recipe for this dish ...

My original thought was that it is not possible to discuss something as a "sin" outside the idea of religion. But according to Merriam-Webster's dictionary sin is defined as: a : an offense against religious or moral law b : an action that is or is felt to be highly reprehensible c : an...

I used to hear that all the time and I've always thought it was a bunch of baloney. That whole "I don't care what he looks like just as long as he has a good personality" philosophy. And how often do you see a really beautiful woman with a really ugly guy or vice versa? That's right... not...

Unfortunately this is one of those subjects where there isn't really a right or wrong answer. It's more like a fling stuff at the wall and see what sticks kind of thing. Ask 20 people and you'll get 20 different answers and who knows what will work and what won't work. My pastor likes to say...

Speaking to your point let me make another analogy. Consider how many people die in car accidents each year in the United States - or any country for that fact. And then compare that to an airplane crash. The airplane crash is considered a tragedy yet we think nothing of car accidents. I...

Would you care to elaborate on a couple of the "must-have's" and a couple of the "can't-stands?" If you don't that's completely understandable. I can't speak for every man, but I know that if my wife would have given me something like this prior to us becoming romantically involved it would...

I honestly can't think of anything "odd" that I asked my wife before we got married. My parents had a concern because of our age difference - my wife is 13 years older than I am - and the fact that we met online.

Sorry to hear that your husband lost his job. My wife and I have been married almost 15 years, but about a year after we married we ended up moving from Florida to Georgia. I was working from home but I had to find work here in Georgia. I wasn't sure of what we were going to do. Thankfully I...

I've been doing that drive for almost 15 years (not for the same job though). I've had 3 jobs since moving here in 2001. Each job has been located about 50 miles from where I live. Unfortunately, I live in one of the poorest counties in our state. There is not much in the way of the kind of...

I'll admit that I did not read all 10 pages of replies. I'm not going to address all of the other things that may have been brought up in the entire thread. I'm going to speak to the OP with what I personally believe. Honestly, I think it depends on how you define “white privelege.” I am...
