    I just needed to vent!

    Maybe he's just a terrible dancer. Seriously though, it makes you wonder what these women's motivation for taking dancing lessons were. I say "Austin" handled it correctly, and hopefully the handsome guy they settled on dancing with stepped on their toes a whole bunch.

    Why do guys have a problem with Best friends?

    In general I would encourage a girlfriend to continue to cultivate her female friendships. After all, every one of us needs a trusted person to provide outside perspective on the relationship. I would caution the women, however, that there's also going to be outside opinions about their best...

    Focused On The Wrong Thing

    I'd have to say most anyone who is single and doesn't want to be will struggle with this. Biblical truth is that we're to seek first God's Kingdom and His righteousness and all the other details will be provided. That includes the mate God has for us. It's been only recently that I feel like...

    Muslims beaten to death by Christians in Nigeria

    I don't disagree, except the seminal documents on which each religion are based differ widely on their views regarding violence. Whereas the Christian's Bible advocates doing good to those who mistreat you, turning the other cheek, etc., the religion of Islam's Koran advocates destruction of...

    Muslims beaten to death by Christians in Nigeria

    They said 6 people died and at least two mosques were burned. In the previous rampage by the Muslims several churches were burned and at least 18 people were killed. Not to justify killing for any religion, but the Muslims killed three times as many, and yet all I hear the leftists in here...

    Having a Female Roommate

    I didn't 'blow him off', I took his council, sought other council as well, and then addressed the issue with him. In the end he admitted that the situation appeared to be in line with acceptable Biblical principles, and that he would watch and pray with me so that I don't fall into temptation...

    VP Accident Tale Filled With Discrepancies

    Maybe he's just a bigger person than you are.

    Having a Female Roommate

    I understand your story, and it's a great analogy, but I'm not sure it applies in this case. I don't feel tempted by her, and I'm sure I'm no temptation TO her. Hopefully at least one of us would be mature enough to see if there became a problem and to point it out. Mostly I just wanted to...

    Having a Female Roommate

    Yeah, sorry. I didn't clarify that it was in seperate rooms. Here in America roommate just means you share an apartment, not necessarily a room. Also, I should add that the two of us have clearly stated we couldn't see dating each other, for reasons that aren't really relevant here. However we...

    Having a Female Roommate

    First of all, thanks to everyone who took the time to respond. Whichever side of the discussion you took, every response was well thought-out and logical in its way. I do have to clarify a couple of things for Precious Stone though.... I would assume you wouldn't have a problem with my...

    What Jesus said about sex

    Read Matthew 5:27-32: 27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old,[c] ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[d] 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin...

    The Spiral of Degredation

    Every word is true, my friend. It's there in black and white, and yet there are homosexuals who will maintain that their lifestyle can be lived in conjunction with a relationship with God. I would say these verses shoot a hole all through the homosexual lifestyle.

    Having a Female Roommate

    OK, here's an interesting one (There's a bit of a preamble to explain where I'm coming from... if you'd rather skip to the question scroll down past the dividing line): The past seven months I've shared a two-bedroom apartment with my younger sister. We decided at the end of the first lease that...

    U.S Abducting Iraqi wives to "leverage" their husbands to surrender

    Did you read my post? They were guilty by association, and by their unwillingness to divulge information that would lead us to the capture of their criminal husbands. Hostage crisis? NOW who's putting a new twist on things?

    U.S Abducting Iraqi wives to "leverage" their husbands to surrender

    Nathan, I've read the article and I didn't see that stated implicitly, or even implied. The intelligence officials in questions stated that they felt the women had specific knowledge about terrorist operations, information that could possible lead to the apprehension of a dangerous criminal...

    U.S Abducting Iraqi wives to "leverage" their husbands to surrender

    Besides which, all indications are that the women were released when the tactic proved ineffective.

    U.S Abducting Iraqi wives to "leverage" their husbands to surrender

    I'll say it one last time: The authorities CAN detain or incarcerate relatvives of known fugiitives if they have good and clear reason to believe the relative may know where the fugitive is, or how to bring them in. If they refuse to cooperate with the law, it is considered aiding and abetting a...

    U.S Abducting Iraqi wives to "leverage" their husbands to surrender

    I don't see that this covers the situation we're talking about. These women were thought to be involved in the actions of their terrorists husbands by their refusal to deliver information that would allow us to take them into custody. They were aiding and abetting the enemy, or at least giving...

    U.S Abducting Iraqi wives to "leverage" their husbands to surrender

    This actually can, and does, happen in this country. If you're related to a suspected criminal you can be brought in for questioning. If it's then determined that you have a good likelihood of knowing where the criminal is you can be held until they are found. (Or at least for a while... I'm not...
