    LGBT Definitions

    I am interested to understand the defining aspects and lumping together of these terms. I want to make sure that I understand the terms correctly. I am not endorsing this or wanting a debate, but just want to clearly understand the differences and how it is defined. HERE is MY personal...

    The "New" Minimum Wage - $70k

    This man's mistake was to make no differentiation between employes based on skill, experience, or even amount of time they spend in the office. If you nearly double some peoples salaries and raise others by less than 5%, there are bound to be problems. If people's salaries are increased to be...

    Glad to see that people stepped up. We easily forget our charge to take care of those in need. Isaiah 1:17 ESV Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.

    2015 the year to stop global warming: twenty-five years of global warming predictions

    Thanks for the feedback. Typically when I see reports noting temperature changes with 2 degrees and out to 2 decimal places, it simply makes me wonder if the older thermometers were read consistently enough to provide results even within 0.5 degrees.

    2015 the year to stop global warming: twenty-five years of global warming predictions

    I've always wondered - How accurate was temperature monitoring from 1880 to the mid 1900s? How do you know that 72F measured in 1910 is the same as what is measured today? I assume that technology and accuracy of measurements has improved to a fairly consistent point over the last 35-40 years...

    Obama is God's Choice

    Isn't Kim Clement known to be a false prophet with prophecies that have not come true? In terms of Obama, I think it is acceptable to criticize policies and decisions and stand up for our beliefs against things that are contrary to our faith.

    Christian music suggestions

    Here is a link to music by the Gettys. They are contemporary hymn writers with music rooted in English and Celtic traditions. These are modern hymns that are heard in many churches. https://www.gettymusic.com/about.aspx Funny thing is I had a discussion about this with a friend a while...

    Another Infuriating Crackdown on Sharing Food With the Homeless

    It sounds like she has done this for a while and most cops have ignored it and let her do her thing. In this case - it appears it may have been a new cop who made a different decision. Hopefully a judge will go easy with a warning and help her get the right permits. I wonder if they allow...

    The "New" Minimum Wage - $70k

    Private company - his decision - very generous pay compared to the market. For employees going from a $48K salary to $70K, if they keep the same lifestyle and use the extra money to pay down debt and build savings, then they should come out OK. If they change their lifestyle to match the pay...

    Shushing anyone noisy in a movie theater could be bad for your health

    I used to work in a movie theatre and part of our responsibilities was to occasionally monitor the theatre for disruptions and escort customers out if they were out of hand. I was involved in my fair share of dealing with kids sneaking into R rated movies, people being loud, people with babies...

    The "New" Minimum Wage - $70k

    Good for him. This should build a place where people are more likely to stick around and have higher job satisfaction versus other locations. Can't necessarily do this in a publically held company, which is responsible to the shareholders for profit, but as long as they stay relevant from a...

    A.D.The Bible Continues comes to NBC

    I am not watching because I didn't like "The Bible" miniseries that Downey and Burnett did before. Some things were added for dramatic effect and I felt like it left out some things that should have been there. I think it has had positive reviews by Christian leaders, but I have not heard...

    Driver claims she got $200 ticket for putting on lip balm behind the wheel

    If you look at the ticket in the video, you can see that the woman had no insurance and her vehicle wasn't registered. Her story of innocently putting on lip balm is a little more suspect considering those details.

    Fear Of Black Men: How Society Sees Black Men And How They See Themselves

    I agree on that point - I guess the question would be whether - given equal appearance and actions - do we respond differently to a black person versus white, asian, or other race? I would hope my response would be the same in any case, but in all honesty, there are so many other factors...
