honestly, Jesus called noone a 'christian'

its a fairly modern term to describe those who believe in the Christ

and its really not relevant to anyone but humans because God is not going to look at a label (self given or not)


so we can call ourself christian, and we can define for ourselves what we feel that means,,,,all day long,,,,

but loving Christ is not in the traditions or the bible, its in how we treat each other and our temple (our bodies) and we really cant decide whether someone else is 'christian', we can only decide if we wish to define ourself as such



I like that a lot msharmony.

Exactly, "Christian" is not just a title. It is a way of life. Goes with that saying "Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, that sucker's a duck".

id be suspect of such a recording

but in any case, I agree that people shouldnt be able to physically place hands on other adults because they dont like something

reminds me of a similar sentiment when the issue of someone burning (their own) flag was brought up,,,,,I remember some felt a similar inclination to get physical with that person,,,,

my question is one that has been concerning me for some time.... im a married women and active on this site because my hubby says that i can have a girlfriend. he says that he understands that i have needs he cant always fill so he wants me to get a gf..... is this wrong? and if not, who in there right mind is going to date a married women.... i know what some ppl must be thinking and hes not like that.... hes not into having multiple girls at once


actually you may be full filling your husbands needs ....just the thought of you being bi-sexual or having the potential of having sex with another woman may be more of a turn on for your Husband then it is for you...

that your husband claims that you have needs that he can't full fills seems more like an excuse to send you down that bi-sexual yellow brick road...no one will be about to full fill all your needs, which is why in any relationship one may have to give up something ..generally that entails giving up having sex with other people




if he is a decent husband and they are both heterosexual he needs to learn how to satisfy her needs. sounds like he's being lazy man on top - in it for himself

frankly based only on what she had said here - I'd quit him if I were her


yeah, the 'needs' thing bothers me to,,,,,

but to each their own

I feel sorry for people in that geographical location

imagine how californians would feel if mexicans came back and booted them out(giving them lovely little cramped settlements as compensation) to set up homes for themself on the grounds that it was really their land to begin with,,,,,

oh, wait,,,,

Also, those who don't tip if they're not satisfied, do you just not leave a tip, or do you speak to a manager and let them know what's going on?



I just dont tip. I think that sends enough of a message without getting the person into trouble with their boss. It gives them the chance to reflect and correct the situation on their own. If the same server seems to repeatedly give poor service, thats when I Would talk with a manager.


What do they have to do/not do to get you not to tip?



have a bad attitude, throw food at the table, smack gum, roll their eyes, visit the table only to get the order, deliver the food, and pick up the check



things of that nature which contribute to making my dining experience unpleasant,,,,


And this has happened often to you? I can't remember the last time I went to a place where service was bad enough that I even thought about not tipping.



no, thank goodness it hasnt happened 'often'

but it has happened,,,

Where I live, the min wage for servers is over $8 an hour. I can understand people not leaving a tip in a restaurant here.

But if you go to a restaurant that pays their employee only $2.10 an hour, and the person gives inferior service (not because they are an *******, just because they are honestly incompetent, or maybe having a bad day)....

.... do you really feel okay about receiving their service for only $2.10 an hour? Is $2.10 an hour a fair wage, even for low quality service?






I dont think most restaurants post what their servers hourly wage is to the customers. I consider it a commission type job personally, if you dont make the sale you dont get the tip.

I feel fine with it,


Do you frequent restaurants with bad service? From what you've been saying, it sounds like this happens a lot.


no, I dont frequent a restaurant if bad servers seem to be the NORM, but I have been to a restaurant or two where one PERSON who was supposed to wait the table gave piss poor service,,,

I listened to a bit of the transcript.

The cop testifies that the muslim guy admitted to him, shortly after the incident, that he attacked the atheist. (He was probably proud of it - look at me, I'm standing up against infidels).

At the trial, though, at least during the portion I listened to, the muslim clearly denies - completely denies - that he ever touched the atheist's sign or his beard.




where was this recording of the transcript?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.



ok,, in this example, what law was congress passing?


So you agree that there is no law which could be interpreted as making 'dressing up like someone else' illegal (barring cases of fraud and similar offenses) ?

I'm not clear on the judges logic for even bringing the first amendment into it. Of course the atheist's actions are protected under the first amendment, that's not the issue. The assault (mild thought it was) was illegal.




I thought the plaintiff brought up the first amendment, but I havent read or heard the official transcript

I dont think anyone was stopped from speaking in the case though, so Im not sure where the amendment comes up either.

I also havent seen said 'assault' and have read various accounts of what happened.

and ours is the state where 24 of 26 police shootings are 'justified' even if one suspect is unarmed and knealing on the ground when they are shot.

no place is perfect,, because everyplace and every career is sure to have at least some imperfect people

I keep hearing that people shouldn't have to tip. However, that's how restaurants have always worked. Everyone knows that. So, why would you go to a restaurant if you don't like the way they run things and take it out on their employees?



IF I go to a restaurant, I pay the price of the meal if I like the way the restaurant does things. If I dont like it I dont go. However, when it comes to service, Im not paying the restaurant the tip, Im paying an individual. So if Im not digging that individuals service, they arent getting a tip. I dont judge the restaurants entire operations by one persons attitude or service, I judge that person.
