They call is xmas, which makes me cringe. I became ordained on Dec 21st, and wished everyone Happy Solstice.
But then, I'm not a fundamental extremists. I wish every culture/religion a happy holiday. I think JC would too!

ProCon.org NEW ProCon.org Website! - Do violent video games contribute to youth violence? - Critics argue that violent video games are to blame for school shootings, increases in bullying, and violence towards women and that research supports these assertions. Defenders of violent video games counter that the research is deeply f...lawed, that violent video games provide a safe outlet for aggressive feelings, and that video game content is protected free speech.

I'm not a Bible thumper or New Age guru, but: Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Science supports the idea that whatever is on our minds effects how we relate to others. Especially during the more impressionable years of youth. Books, TV, friends, video games, they are all the same in this understanding. If we only recieve ... See Moreinput that is good and nurturing we will be good. If we are feed negitive thoughts and images .... well, we become that. Not a mystery at all, just simple fact.

There is absolutely nothing to be gained by violence in any form, be it reading or viewing----any impression it may leave in the mind will be a negative one with no value.

Ken Carter Playoff's would enhance the entire fan experience just like the Final Four,NBA and NFL Systems. Traditions change like they were ebraced when the NFL merged with the AFL. College football must do the same. The ONLY major sport WITHOUT a playoff!!!!!!!!!

Yes. And If we're talking about football, can we start a petition to end the sudden death overtime in the NFL? The game usually comes to down the coin toss. It should be the first team to 6.

ProCon.org NEW ProCon.org Website! - Should Social Security be privatized? - Social Security, the largest government program in the world and the biggest expenditure ($612 billion) in the US federal budget, is projected to become unsustainable by 2037. ProCon.org's newest website explores the pros and cons of whether Social Secu...rity should be privatized to give people control of their own retirement funds and help ensure that their safety net remains intact.

Should Social Security be privatized? Pros and Cons of debate.

The money paid into Social Security should belong to the people. That is not how it is treated. The funds are often used by the government and not replaced. To have it privatized would be even worse. The record of private companies handling retirement funds have proven not to be secure. Security should mean secure, and only the government can guarantee that.

Most who favor laxer laws relating to marijuana would like to see it scheduled in general rather than "rescheduled". Haha!
