Ted's being accused of having an affair with multiple people. Calling him a "Playa" or "Player" fits the accusation (if it's true or not, I don't know).

LOL. I just read your thread. It got derailed before the end of the first page!

Its not defined as a race here in the US. It's a culture. You can be white hispanic, black hispanic, latin american hispanic, etc... When we do research for NICHD we have to provide a demographics table the describes our sample. NIH (and NICHD) do no consider hispanic to be a race.

No no no! Playa is short for Player! From Urban Dictionary Player - A male who is skilled at manipulating ("playing") others, and especially at seducing women by pretending to care about them, when in reality they are only interested in sex....

I am a professor at a state university, and all I can say is that I am very grateful that this nonsense has not reached our shores. Why would these administrators promote this kind of infantilism? Ugh.

I like what the philosopher Thomas Hobbes said about revelation, which admittedly is not quite the same as testimony, but it's pretty close. "When God speaketh to man, it must be either immediately; or by mediation of another man, to whom he had formerly spoken by himself immediately. How God...

In Genesis, God said exactly what were the consequences. 14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will...

If I were a Christian Apologist, I think I would start by understanding why a person is an atheist. There are many reasons one might lack a belief in a God, and I would think that if I were interested in convincing them of the truth of my religion, I would need to understand why they don't...

A-theism simply means without a belief in God. It's a lack of belief, not necessarily a positive assertion that God(s) doesn't exist.

Hi Peter1000, I am heartened by your acknowledgement that you could be wrong about me! The "Enemy of Christmas" profile statement comes from my participation in the American Politics section of this forum. Every year in Fox Newsland, atheists get accused of conducting a "War on Christmas"...

Whenever someone presents me with Pascal's Wager, I like to counter with Smith's Wager. http://freeinquiryforum.com/2011/06/28/smiths-wager/ There are only four possibilities, as follows: 1) There is no god. The atheist is correct, and consequently lives a happy, fulfilling life free of...

I have read and will abide by the forum rules.

I would totally understand it if a Republican wanted to disown Trump and align him with the Democratic Party. The idea that Trump is actually leading the GOP field in the run for the White House must be abhorrent to many in the part.

I read the article in the OP and all I can do is shake my head (smh). What kind of students are we raising to become leaders of our next generation? What happens when they go out into the read world and run into a Cinco De Mayo party? Will they curl up into a ball until someone can give them...

That's an outstanding question.
