    I hear the iPhone is great for everything except phone calls.

    Has anyone had sucsess using Yahoo Personals?

    I'm just curious about the mentality that produces people that actually think God has an opinion one way or another on internet personal ads. I tend to find it's part of the Purtian legacy of the belief there is one way to do things, and the stress they lived with trying to figure it out...

    What if God just doesn't care how you go about meeting people?

    How to go about selling older college textbooks

    Out of date textbooks are basically worthless. You could try to find out if the books are still in use anywhere. Community colleges typically use textbooks longer than universities for the sake of affordibility. But if they aren't then you can keep them, take next to nothing at an used book...

    How to Make a Decision Without Any Information (or so it seems)

    If the economy were better I'd say roll the dice. But the reality is unemployment is high and rising again. So if you do give up a stable job you might not be able to find another one. And in most places around the country even the "safety" jobs like retail and fast food just aren't there...

    Let The Right One In

    If you watch horror movies you will become an undead axe murdering fiend. It says so in the bible. You know I was watching one where a guy gets a tent spike driven through his head, oh no wait, that was in the bible. But there was this one about a guy that was going to give his daugthers out...

    How should duties in a family be split up?

    The bible says when you're on your period you aren't allowed to live in the house. So I take it you have a monthly camp out in the back yard, right? After all, God doesn't change.....

    Dude, you just totally caught me with my shirt off!

    If you're going to run in the cold if the shirt becomes damp with sweat and the wind is blowing that would just add to the discomfort. At least going topless you'd stay dry.

    Bibles View On Drinking

    You are correct, there is no difference in the alcoholic content of the beverage. The difference between regular and "lite" beers is solely a matter of the calorie content. The only time you see that change is that there are some states in the US that won't allow stores without full liquor...

    Can sports become idolatry?

    Professional athletes have elite skills honed by years of training, and upon those skills millions upon millions of dollars are made. Why shouldn't we be entitled to a fair share of those profits?

    U2's Bono: Does anyone remember...?

    If I remember the context correctly he was referrring to the shrinking market share rock bands hold. Really, it comes down to file sharing. All genres of rock and metal, except the glossy pop rock stuff, have suffered greatly due to file sharing. Hip-hop, pop, and country music have been...

    Feet & traditional footwear

    Okay, question: who exactly lands on their heel while running? Because if you do then you're doing it wrong. Reality is with, or without, shoes running is a very high impact activity and it's stressful on the joints. Which is why you're seeing a lot of switch over in cardio training to...

    girls would you....

    Buddy, you just have to figure these things out on the fly. No one in the world, except for that girl, can tell you exactly what she meant. Personally, if a chick clarifies it like that I would say that tends to indicate she doesn't really see the two of you having a romantic thing. If...

    Israel

    My goodness, I can't believe someone actually brought up British Israel theology. First, every lingust of worth that has ever commented on the subject absolutely agrees that there is no connection between the origin of British and any Hebrew word. British Israel was considered crack pot when...

    Pet peeve: Women's "enhancement" surgery

    You posted a fundamental contradiction: first it was all men's fault and then a blip about women's personal responsibility. Again, one or the other: women are either intelligent individuals that make their own choices, or brain dead and subject to the whims of men. I really doubt very many...

    How is going to church NOT good for marriage?

    You do realize that quote has absolutely nothing to do with Saturday worship, right? In Orthodox/Catholic theology Christ rose on the first and the eight day, it's a timeless even that changed the whole world. This is why we worship on the Lord's day and the Sabbath went the way of dietry...

    Gamers and the whole "gamer scene"

    Well over a million adults in the US and Canada are playing recreational league hockey right now, and that's just players registered with USA Hockey and Hockey Canada. When you throw in the unregistered adult players you could probably double that number. The problem with American football is...

    quistion for the women in Christ here :)

    You haven't been taken out of context, you just don't like the way what you've said sounds when someone places interpretation on it. Honestly though, I think this is why the western world is in the middle of a growing marriage strike on the part of men. It's the old I want private schools for...

    Gamers and the whole "gamer scene"

    So the only options in the world for teenagers are to play video games or get wasted and have the sex?

    quistion for the women in Christ here :)

    Well I think Sonic is going a little overboard, but in all fairness there have been more than a few replies that the only guy that's dating material is the dude with the master's in some hard science earning the big bucks. It comes off as a bit shallow if we're being honest. Especially when the...
