    Socialism vs. Capitalism

    canukin: We are still waiting to hear from you (or a like-minded person) regarding the difference between greed and capitalism. Capitalism is the focus, or love, of money -- which the scriptures clearly outline is not Christ-like. Capitalism is applied greedness.

    Socialism vs. Capitalism

    Although I have not read the entire post, and realize this comment by be a little irrelevant, I can't help but laugh when capitalisits advocates still talk about letting the free maket take care of society after the wall street melt down. If it was not for social intervention by govermnet in...

    THE circumcision thread

    Truthandobey, like you, I have some reservations about talking about circumcision – and I have talked about it on others posts at this website. I have had this burning question about the sensitive aspect and would like to talk about it. However, I want to make it perfectly clear that I am...

    Say it ain't so, Feminism?

    I recognize I am entering this dialogue somewhat late and my comments may not seem relevant. As a male I was raised to think of feminism as a bad thing, but over the years have come to appreciate some of the salient aspects of feminism. I have also learned that there are many types of feminism...

    Circumcision?

    To me, there are strengths and weaknesses to both decisions. I agree with Johnclaus there is a stereotype of uncircumcised being smelly and unclean. I do not want to reinforce this stereotype. However, I know there is scientific evidence that men who are uncircumcised do get more yeast...

    Circumcision?

    In regard to the topic of men having more sexual pleasure after circumcision, I have heard the exact opposite. I knew two men personally, and have a handful of accounts on the internet where men reported that sexual pleasure decreased after adult circumcision. Now with this said, this is not a...

    Circumcision?

    Constant witness: I am missing your point regarding the uncircumsised man being too sensitive and thus "less" sensitive to the female's "needs". Sorry. Without being to graphic do you mind explaining. I've often wondered what he mean and sometimes I though it might men that an uncircumsized...

    Circumcision?

    I do not want to get into personal details but I have always thought that the extra sensitivity of an uncircumcised penis was better for men – it helped them with being in more control during sex (not pounding and then losing control because the sensation is lessened), and thus more sensitive to...

    a question for the guys

    Two things. First, I made an error in my last post. The word "not" should not appear in the second sentence -- meaning, if tropical winds ideology if off – that its not natural but is a socially conditioned application of a socially constructed identity for men to have wandering eyes – then I...

    a question for the guys

    Tropic Wild: First off, I am not trying to condemn you or suggest that in any way I am better than you. If I have, please accept my apology. What I am attempting to do is have an in-depth conversation about gospel principles. I want to bring up one point of your post that I disagree with...

    a question for the guys

    Dayknee: I appreciate your honest post. As a past licensed therapist and minister I have sadly witnessed over and over again what you have described – men who look hurting their wife’s and taking a step toward destroying their marriage. I am glad you are now willing to communicate...

    a question for the guys

    Being that I am heading out of town for the Christmas season – and will not have any internet access – this will be my last post on this topic, unless its still going on after the new year. However -- and i know I have mentioned this before -- my plan is to distance myself from this website (not...

    Is cosmetic surgery ok?

    Dag: In earlier posts I made a clear and distinct seperation between cosmetic surgery and reconstructiver surgery. Just read through the past posts. I am completely in support of reconstructive surgery -- which restores functioning due to accident or disease (e.g.. mastecomies due to breast...

    a question for the guys

    In my last post I made a writing error – in regard to referencing to Dr. Nancy Ectoff, her research underscores that immodestly dressed women and men make people think more sexually and creates pretty competitions, such as breast size competitions. Modest dressing is important and helpful, for...
