    Kind of a really personal question for men:

    If you've made your opinion on sex before marriage known to her, is it possible that she's lied about being a virgin so you weren't put off initially and as time has gone by she's too sacred to tell you the truth? It's just one idea, but the best thing to do is ask her if it really is causing...

    My husband's friend

    I don't think the text messages are anything to worry about, even if they aren't related to work but more general things. It's my personal opinion that it's fine for married couples to have friends of the opposite sex. But with the text messages (if not related to work) and the hugging put...

    What games do you wish they would make sequels to or remake?

    I'd love to have seen Okami released on the 360 or PS3. I know there's a Wii version, but it would have been outstanding on a powerful machine. It was stunning on the PS2.

    Bioshock 2

    Completed it a few days ago and feel a bit empty. Don't intend on disclosing anything about the story. I did enjoy the game, although not as much as the first. Rapture seemed smaller, and the game felt much shorter than the first. Maybe it was because the first BioShock was so new, the...

    Martial art

    There is a misconception that in martial arts we beat each other up. I've studied karate for 20 years now and have yet to hurt anyone, or get hurt. I've never been a fight, and never had the desire to. Maybe in other forms such as kyokushin karate there is emphasis on full contact fighting but...

    How to Keep your Faith... your opinions please

    For me it all comes down to trust. My family saw my dad become extremely ill with cancer and pass within a month. Less than a year later we lost the youngest in our family, my little brother, who had just turned 8. I suppose it's easy to turn around and question why these things happen but I...

    Stephen King

    Absolutely agree with the thread, although there are some scenes in King's work that I do wonder about, such as the scene in IT (anyone who has read it will know what I mean, I'd rather not say what it was). But King's work is so much deeper than horror. Look at the Green Mile. John Coffey's...

    Grad School-Need Advice

    Hey, I graduated with a degree in History and decided to go back and study law. I graduate in June and I've loved every minute of it....but financially it's cost me a lot! I still have undergraduate loans too, as well as a career loan I had to take out to cover my law fees. I had been...

    Does God give dating tips?

    Don't know about dating tips as such, but if you let Him, He'll select someone for you. I registered on this forum a good few years ago when I had been dumped by my then boyfriend. I was at a really low point, I won't deny it. I prayed and prayed that we could get back together. God duly...

    Potato scones

    You could always just buy them :p Much easier. I'm the black sheep of the tatie scone fraternity. I prefer them just out the pack as opposed to fried. But here's the link to the recipe anyway, there are other variations on google. http://www.care2.com/channels/solutions/food/1006

    The Scottish Football Post!

    Got to agree with this actually. Hearts form has been fantastic and Paul Hartley's certainly got a lot to do with this. HIs gola tally alone is impressive for a midfielder but likewise his input to the team has also been impressive. Certainly should have been nominated at the very least.

    The Black Death, how it effected the socio-economic-cultural world in the middle ages

    The little ice age is that in name only but it wasn't a periodof sucessive cold weather. The name isn't accurate. Environmental scientists and historians have looked at dendrochronology and discovered that there were periods of reasonably good weather, and periods of bad. It was never constantly...

    The Knights Templar - Guardians Of The Holy Grail !

    They were first established in Scotland by King David 1st. Their main base in Scotland was at Maryculter in Kincardineshire, founded by one of their members, Walter Bisset in 1221AD. The place name Temple is of course a definate indication of their presence and influence in an area (e.g. Temple...

    The Black Death, how it effected the socio-economic-cultural world in the middle ages

    I don't think the Black Death changed conflicts in religion. I did a course at university called war famine disease and death and it was mainly about the Black Death and it's outcomes/causes. The only religious aspect of the Plague we discovered was that Christian society believed they were...

    Favourite figures from history

    On a random note I live/am from in the town where Mary QoS was born before she went to France! My favourite historical characters are random ones... A guy who fascinates me is Sir George McKenzie. He was basically the King's advocate around the time of the Covenanters. I did the...

    The Knights Templar - Guardians Of The Holy Grail !

    I know Masons, my uncle was one, and have never got any bad vibes off them. I know they do a lot of charity work. As for the Knights Templar...the only thing I know about them is after they were excommunicated from the Vatican they fled to Scotland where they were protected since Robert the...
