  If you can take a moment and step outside the situation, think about this.

  You and your girlfriend are holding hands in a coffee shop. You are both adults, 21 years of age. The wife of one of the elders of your girlfriend's church sees you holding hands, and this is a thing to fear? What business is it of hers?
  
  Do you see the control that they have over your girlfriend? Do you realize that your every action will be monitored and scrutinized by people like this elder's wife, for the rest of your life?
  
  You've been dating three months. Please, have a long talk with your parents, and understand that they fear losing you! Read experiences of the people on this forum, whose families have been torn apart by the Jehovah's Witness cult. Your parents' fear is real. There is a reason they do not like this religion.

  There is an old expression, "Marry in haste, repent at leisure".

  I've not gotten an invite either. In fact, they have not 'worked this territory' since I moved in over 2 years ago. Boo f*ckin' hoo!

  The reality is that countries with gun control are safer.
  Are you referring to France?
  I heard there was a recent concert in Paris that was a real blast!
  Doc

  Well, that was a low blow. I heard there was a blast in 2001 that rocked the world. And all those gun-toting Americans couldn't stop it.

  When did this become about terrorists? I thought y'all wanted to defend yourselves in your own homes.

  This group said that as long as anybody had guns everyone should have guns..

  You forgot to add that he also said "Until NOBODY has guns".........

  I wasn't going to comment, but since you seem intent on pushing the point ... the man is obviously severely traumatized and can hardly speak without breaking down. I have to wonder if he is still in shock. Those are the words of a fresh victim, and emotionally charged.

  You've really shown a good point - the gun lobby plays on people's fears, in addition to the usual "we're AMERICAN and it's in our Constitution!" Whoop-tee-doo. You live by a 250 YO statement about how the citizenry may need to have a militia in case the government is ruling by tyranny and must be stopped.

  Uh, hello! Anyone who DOES stockpile weapons, and wants overthrow the government is considered a domestic terrorist - the American people have no power. You think a handgun will prevent government takeover of anything? ahahahaha! Sheeple.

  you are not worshiping people you should weork towards woirshiping god.

  GodZoo, I get your point in a general way, but looking at this specific review, and its irrational, disconnected spewing of hate, it seems to me that it's most likely what Punk suspects. It's neither constructive nor is it artistic criticism. It is more like hate speech.

  I've had many people like my sculptures, and sold 100++. Not everyone loves them, that is true. If someone said my sculptures looked like something you could buy at the $$ store, manufactured by the thousands, and were poorly crafted, copies of XXX artist, I just *might* feel the need to vent.

  Especially if I suspected *that* person was the failed artist, that couldn't pay people to take his work, who would do / say anything to put me down. (edit, and it's very hurtful)

  That's my take on Punky's rant.

  Vidiot - anger = fear and / or pain ; rants are usually inspired by a wound that is being poked, and very human. Especially when the person ranting feels misjudged, or knows they are wrong and are using bluster as a deflection of their insecurities about their beliefs or perceptions of unfair treatment.

  But hell to the yeah, use spell check if you want your rant to be read. :P

  A step in the right direction: Denmark banning circumcision as a cruel, barbaric and archaic ritual not fit for modern civilised lands

  by Gilbeath Haaraloth in

  as you may know, this makes me very happy.

  ban on religious circumcision.

  relate to a ban in all probability will not stop the millennium old core tradition in many parts of islam and especially judaism.

  Barbaric. Banned. Agree.

  Yup. BB, I don't think anyone should hold a grudge against their parents. It's the 21st century now, and we know the benefits of leaving it alone - just like we know that tonsillectomy isn't always necessary, nor antibiotics for ear infections. It's time for a change. It's genital mutilation.

  Good for the Netherlands.

  The bible teaches that money is the answer for everything!

  contrary to what the wt teaches, they ignore the wise words of ecc 10:19 "ecc 10:19 "a feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

  Can I guess? That's not from the NWT? I should check my obscure translation, and see what it says. It's kinda interesting, the differences in translations.

  I always laugh when people like Oprah say "money doesn't make you happy" - it's true, but poverty can cause a lot of misery, too. *Enough* money to eat well, and live safely, can make all the difference in the world, and easier to choose happiness.
