Would it be better if a man killed my sister, wasn't caught, and then met me and became good friends with me? I'd be pretty upset if and when he was caught, and I found out the truth. His excuse that he "didn't want to hurt me" would be pretty trite. I'd be more likely to forgive him if he was...

No offense, Desi, but I really don't think that's a good idea in this situation... Or any other for that matter. Whether or not this "speed seduction" would get her into bed isn't really the point. I think he is trying to get past the barriers that prevent them from emotionally connecting on...

Hee hee, this thread is great... One of my majors is communication (mass media), and this thread is a prime example of the third person effect ("it may affect other people, but it has no influence on me") The fact is, no study has ever been able to prove conclusively that any form of media has...

The address for the FAFSA on the web is actually www.fafsa.ed.gov, just so ya'll know... fafsa.com is a site that links you to the FAFSA but charges you $50-$190 to do it. :) (kinda funny/ironic since it's the FREE Application for Federal Student Aid... They'll get us poor students any way...

Exactly... My husband and I combined spent about $900 last year, and got a whopping $32 back. :)

Although I think that for a lot of young couples it is wise to wait to have kids, I don't think that's the case for everyone. Let's face it, even a lot of couples in their 40's can't claim that they take care of young children on a long-term basis, and have several months of living expenses...

My advice is to avoid loans at all cost! I work at a bank, and I know how quickly loans and debt can get out of control... If you need to take out some loans to get you through your first year (because of the job situation), try to save money from a job during that year so that you can get...

I used to have some respect for Jessica Simpson, after all of her touting about being a christian and saving herself for marriage, etc, but she's kind of turned... Well, not as cool as she used to be. :) In her latest video she's rolling around wearing sheer clothing, and even though the...

That's great, Pegasus... Regardless of their actions, they need a lot of love and support right now... And it sounds like you are doing a great job. :) Still praying for you...

My daughter is still young, but she loves Dora the Explorer (on Nick jr. or DVD at Wal Mart), which I would recommend for any parent with children 5 and under... Dora speaks spanish and english, and she and her little exploring friends go on adventures that require both languages. Cute...

The funny thing about European beaches is that yes, you see young beautiful women going topless, but you are just as likely to see their grandmothers right out there with them... :) I saw whole families out enjoying the sunshine. While it's a little bit, well, surprising the first time or two...

PS, some people who don't have children do not realize how expensive they really are. Daycare usually costs us almost as much as rent, and although I breastfed my daughter, she had formula when I was at school or working. I had to stop breastfeeding her at a pretty young age, because I had...

I definitely don't agree with some of the posts in regards to the young couple "taking financial responsibility" and "learning that they can't rely on the government." Although sometimes government programs get abused, for the most part, they are not meant to support people through life, but...

If, as you allege, the 9/11 attacks were 'allowed' by President Bush as a reason to go to war, why didn't he begin attacking the middle east right away, when emotions were still running high among the American people? Wasn't it a poor political choice to wait so long, until people had forgotten...

Personally, I think that it's outrageous to try and equate eating meat with the suffering and death that occured during the holocaust. Although one of the reasons that I am a vegetarian is because of how I feel about the way animals are treated when being raised for slaughter, I think it is a...

Ocean - that's what you think, but you have nothing to back yourself up. Why would a "sac of cells" magically turn into a child at the age of 4 weeks? Why not 4 years? What's the difference? Whatever you believe, the fact is that science cannot prove that a "sac of cells" is not alive before...

Speaking as someone who had a child as a teen, they are going to get criticism and condemnation from all sides, and I don't know if you necessarily need to tell them that you disapprove. I am assuming that since they know you, they will know what kind of life you live, and they probably don't...

Hmm... Thanks for the info, I'm not at all familiar with FL's code. I just think that the law doesn't do a whole lot in the way of protecting minor females. Oh well...

I understand what you were saying in the posts you are referring to, but I still don't agree with the ruling. The number of abortions performed for convenience is much greater than the number performed for incest, rape, etc. If this is a law that really looks at protecting the child, instead...

When I was a freshman in college, I developed a severe case of strep throat, and the doctor refused to prescribe me medication, because I was 17. I laid in my dorm room for 2 days, waiting for the clinic to get ahold of my parents to fax a signed consent form saying that I could take...
