    Bonfire of the homebuilders

    Not to mention they signed a fraudlent application. I wonder if that's criminal in Maryland? I also looked at a map. I wonder what a 3-bedroom 20 miles outside the Washington Beltway will be worth when housing prices come back to Earth? Baltimore-Washington will never be cheap, but a...

    US loses 190,000 AK-47s in Iraq.

    I'm not a weapons expert by any stretch, but isn't the AK-47 a Soviet gun? When did we start making them? 440,000 pieces of equiptment they can't account for. A conservative $100 a piece, that's 44 million they've lost. And now they're being used to shoot at our own troops. If we have to...

    Spoiled brat

    I always filter bad behavior on TV through a lens of "They might be getting paid to make decent TV." People shouldn't be judged off an edited, possibly scripted or directed show that is trying to get ratings. It's a cliche, but reality TV, well, isn't.

    Water is.....

    Let's see the problems in this one statement. 1) No time-scale in the farmers' water use 2)No reference for that 6 million number 3) Comparing the global usage of farmers to the refresh-rate of a single aquifier. Not kosher. Call 1 and 3 the compare apples-to-apples problem. Compare apples...

    Can a Catholic be a democrat?

    Thanks for the loan, Skripper. I don't know if I'm brave enough to make that quote, either ;)

    UK Children to copy Muslim prayer for handwriting practice

    A teacher with bad judgement. Considering how often this happens, why are we still surprised? Even if it's only one teacher out of every 5,000 with bad judgment, that's still an awful lot of teachers. If it was in Arabic, I ahve to think Rebekka has a point, if a kid has the fine motor...

    The presidential race

    Not to mention the sheer expense of carrying one out on a national scale.

    The presidential race

    Have you read the reports that there may be as many as ten suitcase nukes already in the US? Sure, they're about as weak as nukes come, 1-5 kilotons, and they'd have to be detonated at surface level when nukes are more effective detonated at somewhere abound 50-200 meters, I honestly can't...

    Can a Catholic be a democrat?

    Sometimes I'm very glad that in South Carolina, we don't register by party. And I might need to borrow one of those flame-retardant suits in about 30 seconds. You ask how can a Catholic be a Democrat? Only fair to ask how can a Catholic be a Republican? I don't think we live in a world...

    Potential probs brewing on the homefront, could use advice

    A 4th grader being treated like this, a mother that doesn't know where she is just before midnight, no one making an effort to feed her? Who gives a damn if they think it was you? Call the Department of Social Services now. Ethically, if she's there and hungry, it's your obligation to feed...

    Dealing with "Catholicism is a Cult!" charge

    This list of cult traits is a total joke. Do people even put thought into this, or is the 'Rome is a cult!' mentality so ingraned anymore it's just taken for granted? From that list: I'll give you that one. Papal Infalibility and all. Look again. Doesn't fit the Church Who...

    The Lord bless His Excellency Salvatore Matano

    It is an interesting letter, but I'd have to ask the Bishop who do it now? I'm not nearly as involved in the subject as some people here, but nothing he said strikes me as things he couldn't have done under JPII's Ecclesia Dei indult?

    The End and The Beginning

    I think you're right on tabernacle. I thought I remembered tabernacle, and then heard sacrament. As to Walk/One; now that you throw it out there, I'm not sure. The first time sounds more like 'walk'. The second time through it sounds a lot more like 'one' to me. If I could crank it...

    The End and The Beginning

    Amazes me, with all the love for guitars, pieces like this don't get used more often Spoken: If everything that the Roman Catholic Church taught were true, what difference would it make in our lives? We believe, in every single Mass, through the power of the Holy Spirit, the bread and wine are...
