  if one 'googles' the phrase, you get 167,000,000 hits!.

  'bing' it, and you get 129,000,000 hits.. here is a sampling of opinion from just the first page of google hits.. 1] douglas groothuis, ph.d., teaches philosophy at denver seminary.

  here is his 'take' on truth: http://www.leaderu.com/theology/groothuis-truth.html.

  Listenting to the old men talk.

  overalls and plaid shirts, lace up clod stompers and curved pipes dangling from a lip's corner fold, flowing smoke that smells sweet, and a cane in one hand, wrinkled lips pursed ever so slightly, and a level gaze aimed at the distant horizon, as the sun snuggles against the treeline, and frogs and crickets sing a neverending song, twilight settles in for the night, and slowly drifts to sleep..

  Health Care Reform Bill Passes - Now What?

  by BizzyBee in

  celebration for some and gnashing of teeth for others.

  some are feeling angry and wounded tonight.

  some are celebrating vindication after much rhetoric and inaccuracies.

  This will mean that poor, uneducated (stupid) republicans now have a chance at living longer. I'm rethinking my support for the reforms (previously on humanitarian grounds, now on the grounds that fewer old white dumb republicans are probably better for the planet in the long run).

  Can we demand a recount?

  Impressive! If only we could all aspire to rise to your greatness!

  this is my first post, though have been lurking here for some time.

  maybe will share my story at some point...... i have been discussing the blood doctrine with a family member.

  we discussed the principle behind the law to abstain from blood was to recognise the sanctity of life and god as the life giver when a life was taken and should not apply to transfusions when no life is taken but aim is to preserve life.

  I'm going poo-less

  no, this is not my annual march colon cancer awareness thread!*.

  a certain poo-less poster here has inspired me to stop using shampoo.. according to various hippie types, shampoo forces your scalp to produce extra oils and it takes a while to adjust.

  sudsing detergents are bad for the environment too.. plus they have carcinogens and flying spaghetti monster knows i don't need any more of those.. so....have you gone poo-less?.

  I say something like "that sucks. I hate to hear it. I'm thinking about you." Etc. What can anyone say, regardless of beliefs, that would truly be any comfort anyway?
