What timing! US government seizure of mosques! Posted: 11/13/2009 3:00:34 PM
Nothing is more laughable when people make ludicrous remarks of what a Christian Church should be doing. Sorry to inform you, but using the N word over any pulpit in a Christian Church is not a sin. I suggest you look within yourself, and make sure that your own life is 'right', because making silly remarks about what Christians do will not keep you out of hell.

^^^ You really need a lesson in reading comprehension, I was correcting the poster above who was mixing race with religion. And I already know your IQ is too low to understand that race is nothing more than a social construct, there's only one race, yet different cultures.

Looks like another implausible theory, especially since Arabs can range from Black to White, some Syrians, Palestinians and Lebanese may be considered black only by skin tone, but you'd be hard pressed to identify a Saudi Arabian and/or Persian-Iranian as a black man, as their complexion is distinctly white-Caucasian looking. As regards to religion, there are about 40 to 50 million Muslims in Russia and the Baltic States, and they are clearly Caucasian.

Suicides increase as foreclosures rise Posted: 11/12/2009 8:53:28 PM
^^^ Many have hit bottom, but suicide should never be an option, surely your empathy is not for someone taking their life - which is a cowardly act, the only ones who suffer in such an event are those they leave behind. Some of us are smart enough to know and understand that 'few' live life without difficulty (some devastating). The worse that can happen is living on the street, and some of us have been there, I just think so many people are befuddled into the delusion that hardships are never supposed to happen to them. And even in hardships in America, we are still clearly doing better than the rest of the world. It's a matter of perspective. If you have food to eat, and a roof over your head, you are still doing better than the majority on the planet. Visit a homeless shelter, and you might get an idea of what I'm babbling about. Some folks have no idea what a 'hard time' is.

Disclosing certain information Posted: 11/12/2009 8:43:37 PM
Hopefully no one would be stupid enough to start a relationship without first gleaning a history of past relationships. Be aware only a dupe would fail to eventually discuss past relationships. As all relationships give a potential partner a concise assessment of character. If there's fear/apprehension to discuss the past, it might be motivated by a desire to disguise an element of instability/issues, which warrant red flags. A majority of relationships fail miserably, when folks allow the passion of the moment to adequately eliminate any undisclosed issues with their past. One can only wonder why some never learn from past mistakes. Honesty is still the best policy.

Cinderella..But.wheres my prince Posted: 11/12/2009 5:59:11 PM
Quite frankly it's going to take more than 10 dates. Some of us older folk have been on considerably more dates, and still have yet to find the one. In the final analysis, determination makes the difference, and not the caliber of dating material. Don't be too impatient, as either you, or the one who's right for you may not be 'ready yet'. Keep focused, and above all else enjoy yourself in spite of insurmountable obstacles.

He has a dysfunction and she has the hots for other men. Posted: 11/12/2009 5:30:46 PM
Such a bizarre story, but at first reading one immediately questions how could anyone come about private info on said couple, and even worse , share it with the world. (sick) If one or both parties in this relationship divulged info of that nature, then they are not even mature enough to handle an adult relationship. Mutual respect and common sense should dictate that they take personal problems to a professional, and leave disclosing dirty laundry to the National Enquirer. Freakin world is getting stranger by the minute.

Folks, I just drove from the Laredo area of Texas, and the amount of illegals coming across the border is frightening. There's not much Border Control can do to contain the majority of illegals which come across in the back of a truck. They just don't have the time and resources to inspect thousands of vehicles everyday. Excuse me sir, are you American? (That's the gist of their work)

Suicides increase as foreclosures rise Posted: 11/12/2009 2:19:37 PM
Losing ones home/property should never be a reason for losing ones mind, to the point of making the ultimate irrationality of suicide. Maybe it's possible some of these folks have never lived under impoverished conditions, (i.e. homelessness/ghetto upbringing) so the thought of living without, coupled with a lack of coping skills on how to physically deal with loss, leaves them emotionally destitute. Maybe their loss of hope is motivated by a perception of how/what they 'think' others will think of them. Humility is a hard pill to swallow for some. Either they have no TRUE friends to help them, or some other contributing mental/emotional condition leads them to a fatal decision. So sad. May their relatives and friends find peace in their time of grieving.

Fort Hood shooting - What are the questions? What are the answers? Posted: 11/12/2009 1:25:24 AM
From reports given by his relatives, this man was motivated by fear. Unfortunately fear has always been the harbinger of turning one deranged. Just in the past 18 months there has been an escalation of multiple-murder shootings across America. (And depression drug prescriptions) Most people already know the underlying cause, but like the fear that drove this man to commit a cowardly act, they too drone on in fear, hoping against hope that the Truth is not really true, and that they will not find themselves on the end of a madman's bullet, or similar misfortune. Long ago a man of great wisdom gave us the reason, penned with these words..."Evil pursueth sinners" Nothing changes till one faces the truth.

I realize less-than-optimal circumstances can happen to all of us, but it might be kind of naive to think women don't have any expectations/standards when choosing a date. I have a strong feeling, that once you get a job & car, and a place to call your own, your dating dilemma will probably change. Good luck to you.

I definitely agree with you, that Christians did not corner the market on 'universal truths', but God did, and does. And only a cursory observation is needed to ascertain that my views are not accepted by many in Christendom. I also agree with you that many religions ordain many according to the dictates of their faith. I will add though, that there were no persons ordained by the early Church outside of the prescribed limitations given in the Pauline Epistles. (Which is the model of those who believe the Bible) There are many Religions, as your post has adequately illustrated, but I know of none, outside of the Gospel of Christ, that proclaims the God-given ability to deliver from the power and reign of sin. Our church has a strong emphasis on following Jesus and his great commission, which is winning the lost to Jesus Christ. Good luck with your efforts on enviromentalism and social justice

Can you imagine living in a society with fully mandated morality laws on the level of PG's posts and what they would be doing to you if you didn't comply......scary I'm glad you only find it 'scary', there was a time when we were tortured and burned at the stake for voicing our faith. I'll take scary over that any day. Thanks Not only can I imagine living in such a society, but I am preparing to live there by believing the Truth and living God's Word. By the way, according to scripture those who refuse to follow God's morality in that time on Earth, are immediately destroyed and cast in a very hot place. People only have a space of time to repent during this time of Grace, you won't have that privilege then. I hope you make the transition from rebellion/unbeliever to a believer before it's to late, because regardless of any ones political stance or rhetoric, God will have the last word. Good luck to you.

Be aware of socialist mantra that rejects the notion of 'Free Speech', that citizens should have the right to practice religion according to the dictates of their conscience, and speak their mind, (Even if it against a practice of perversion) which by the way are protected under the Constitution. All 'morals' are Christian, and or derived from a Judea-Christian prospective. Trying to protect a minority, and/or restrict the speech of others from a minority, by some arbitrary self-imposed definition of morality, is like saying "We will allow people to do anything, regardless of the rule of law. The advocates of any such non-sense will continue in convoluted logic that destroys the very fabric of justice. One needs look no further than our present Court system, which has progressively weakened a balanced sense of justice for crimes, simply because the majority of attorneys have a skewed idea about the functions of law. Good luck with trying to reason with an egalitarian, their concept of human nature and law are founded upon values of equality outside the scope of self-evident truth and common sense, as their sense of justice, or social justice are predicated upon a pernicious philosophy that denies self-evident truth/morality from a Biblical perspective. Dramatically their ideas are still wrong, but God is still RIGHT.

Any attitudes, philosophy and or De facto laws and legislation that affords greater rights against the ultimate right, which is THE WORD OF GOD, is an egregious subversion of law. Especially since law is derived from God and his Word, unfortunately modern day advocates have sought to subordinate God's law in place of man-made laws that do not benefit mankind. Seeking to enforce any arbitrary man-made laws, and so-called rights for a minority which the 'moral law' impugns, only circumvents positive social standards of acceptability for a civil society. Any legislation which affords 'liberty' contrary to, or diverted from its true purpose - WHICH IS JUSTICE, is an odious perversion of the law, as 'justice' can never be guaranteed, when others seek to undermine the underlying moral outcome - which is preserving, developing, and perfecting LIFE. Common sense should prevail to show, homosexuality does not preserve, develop, or perfect life, unless some mad scientist has developed a way for two people of the same sex to produce life (ie child birth) Society and culture will continue to spiral downward as some in the profession of law continue to castrate any sense of 'morality' from law, which is arguably the most tragic consequence of those given the priviledge to uphold what is good and right for society. A little study of history will afford one the knowledge that greater acceptance and affirmation in the sin of homosexuality, against the Laws of God, has always been the precursor to a Nations/Empire ruin. We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life — physical, intellectual, and moral life. - Frédéric Bastiat

My apologies for the double post. I can see that some opinions made in response to my post have misconstrued my intent. I was simply answering a prior posting, and the mind-set of those who think no one should advise others concerning aberrant behavior. If you had any concern for a friend or past acquaintance, who's behavior may eventually lead to irreparable harm, would you not seek to divert said behavior? If you had any love, or even a modicum of compassion for such an individual, I believe that you would. I realize some may have misconceptions about the Christian religion, but the 'oppression' of others is never it's intent. Nor is there any conspiracy to restrict the freedoms of others (Regardless of their lifestyle) I realize the following statement may fall on deaf ears (or eyes), but the Creator has authority over every element of our lives, whether we believe it or not. If he did not, then no one would be in hell. In essence, when ever someone says, " let people live how they wish according to what they believe" they are telling Christians to keep their mouth shut, and never tell people the consequences of their behavior. Only because they really don't have anything better to offer, as such a philosophy truly does not understand love. Good luck with that.

Just because you don't like they the way someone chooses to live, doesn't mean you have any business telling them how to live according to your ideals. Well, I am in agreement with you concerning the above statement, if one does not believe the Bible and chooses NOT to live according to the principles prescribes in the scriptures. Of course your ideas of what another should do, or not do, are based upon secular, non-Christian ideas. People seem to forget that the majority of American citizens are Christians (or at least claim to be) Therefore for those who love God and live according to the scriptures, when opportunities present themselves they will admonish such folks, and any so-called progressive intervention which seeks to persuade elected officials to circumvent the rule and opinion of the majority. (i.e like proposition 8 in California) Take no part in and have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds and enterprises of darkness, but instead let your lives be so in contrast as to expose and reprove and convict them. Ephesians 5:11 When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his perversity and iniquity, but his blood will I require at your hand. Ezekiel 33:3

^^^^I'm in agreement with your synopsis on single men living longer, but that's only if said men have an ambition/purpose that fuels their day with passion and enthusiasm. Without which, they fall right back into primal instincts of running after skirts. Many men in your age have eclipsed the turgid desire for sex, and channel said energy for life-quality pursuits, which might be a factor in why single men live longer. Married men tend to get bogged down/stressed, if their spouse is not both inspiring and supportive, leading many to suffer mental, emotional and physical hardships leading to an early grave.

The structure of the male and female anatomy is obviously designed for A NORMAL husband-wife relationships. Clearly human biology supports heterosexuality and contradicts homosexuality, as there is no possible way for two gay people to have sex outside of the normal perimeters, of body organs they were born with. A man's butt is made to eradicate excrement (shet) and not for sex. Sorry, but no amount of twisted logic will persuade the majority to accept what's against nature and common sense.

Yep, the other 50% keep their marriages/relationships together because geniune mutual love is a reality in their relationship. People seem to be lost on the concept that love is commitment, if theirs no commitment, it's not love. Call it romance or something. PLEASE stop already people, if you can't keep a commitment, then your actions illustrate that one, or both parties are not really IN love.

Why do you have sex before establishing commitment? Posted: 9/24/2009 7:59:56 PM
deborah815 hopefully others will learn such a valuable lesson. Unfortunately many men have not experienced the privilege of raising daughters, which can greatly determine how one understands the importance of commitment, either that, or they simply don't care for their children's well being. More than likely they just send them to an abortion clinic to get "fixed". Nothing is more deplorable than a Father who neglects his obligation to instill self-respect in his kids.

You know more about me, than I know about myself, because it's news to me if I have a relationship with God. I have a strong suspicion you have more to offer. btw, don't misinterpret moral values as an indication of religion, we all have them (most of us anyway) Your bank manager will naturally follow moral obligation to safe guard your money, but that does not necessarily indicate that he has a relationship with God. I will add, in my opinion seeking to establish a relationship without any moral foundation, is like trying to build a sky scrapper with sand & spoon.. Unless of course one is a hedonist, then they might use the spoon for other activities..hehe

Why do you have sex before establishing commitment? Posted: 9/24/2009 12:11:32 PM
I asked this question of a distraught friend, who recently got "pumped & dumped" Do you feel commitment can be established by verbal consent, or maybe commitment is not really all that important in a relationship? My question rest on the historical context of "marriage", as a formal contract before people indulge in sex, and the sole purview of a woman, when to have sex. If a woman by cultural influence, and/or a lack of moral teaching and responsibility engages in sex without securing a contract of commitment, (marriage) is she not by default implicitly giving evidence to the man, that she can be easily laid? I state this on the assumption that most women value their mind, body and subsequent emotions with a potential partner. (Self -respect) So how can she deem a man is a worthy partner, if said gentleman has not furnished a commitment? Unfortunately "sex" has been relegated to an arena of intimacy without commitment, and seeking to establishment commitment by "verbal" consent is a futile waste of time, which keeps young men and women on the merry-go-round of emotional pain, disillusionment and frustration. I'd say sex is not an adequate determinant in finding out if a guy is really into you, and they'll continue to milk-the-cow-for-free until a woman sensible enough requires more before sex. I just don't understand how we place significant value on getting a car, or a house, via signed "contract", but expect Mr Good-Looking-Sweet-Talker to confirm his potential without one? But of course it also depends on whether or not you might be a hedonist, and view sex as common entertainment, to be used at the whim of suggestion, or if your value is based upon something else (fill in the blank) _____________ I say that, because I've yet to meet a woman who felt respected after she experienced a "pump & dump" situation.

What is going to happen to/in America? Posted: 9/24/2009 7:20:45 AM
^^^..^^^ Superb idea, and we could frame it around a Constitution that affords every citizen the right to pursue happiness, WITHOUT some arrogant attorney-turned-politician seeking to subvert it's premise, with government intervention responding to market failures, over 22,000 prohibitive regulations, and confiscatory tax burdens? Amazing concept indeed, unfortunately there are many who like Stalin are seeking to destroy the very fabric that built this great Nation, since many of the same ideas he advocated are simply another side of the same coin proposed by the socialist. Who in the guise of correcting "unfairness" and "injustice" on social affairs, follow a deplorable modus operandi of instituting more policies that seize capital from the producers. "When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use" - Joseph Stalin (Once leader of the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics)

For those looking for FRIENDS on POF ~ What is It? Posted: 9/22/2009 4:05:18 AM
A Friend is simply someone you've learn to trust and share a variety of life values -without sex. Personally I think the majority of people with "friends" on their profile, regardless of their reasons, are not really interested in a relationship. If your intentions in contacting said individuals is for more than friendship, you might be setting yourself up for failure (As your little experiment proved)

Becoming a Marine...is it fair to be looking for a relationship? Posted: 9/22/2009 3:48:48 AM
From my Military experience I suggest you stay single for now. Most men going into the Military usually regret the decision of getting attached. Since almost every overseas deployment will avail you a smorgasbord of women, who tend to fawn over American men. In the Philippines, I saw several fights of Filipino women brawling over men (They love Caucasian men) Just watch out for the "bayo". Good luck and appreciate your decision to serve.
