US priests reportedly behind Vatican crackdown on nuns
Thu May 10, 2012
- That's the thing I guess a lot of people don't get. They CHOOSE to become nuns and serve the Catholic Church- not the other way around. The nuns do not have a choice to make rules as they go along- and not the priest either. If they can't abide by the Church's teachings then they are allowed to remo …
Statement from Hilary Rosen
Fri Apr 13, 2012
- Mormon women have a group called Relief Society where all women- rich to poor- get together to learn and discuss issues that effect home, family, church, and community. They discuss how each woman can help the sick, the crippled, the poor, the elderly, and etc. They work at canneries (where they can …
Gay worker claims Facebook 'like' got him fired
Thu Apr 12, 2012
- If he was on a medical leave- he should not have been fired. If he didn't bother to follow the guidelines his workplace has (usually it requires paperwork) for getting a medical leave and simply didn't show up for work... then he should be fired. People need to remember that Facebook and other socia …
Rubio's Mormon past revealed
Thu Feb 23, 2012
- No, Rubio would not be able to wear the Mormon undergarment (known to them as Temple Garments)... They have to go through a Temple ceremony first- and he would have to be 18 before he could do that. If he left the LDS Church around 13 and never returned... that means he would not even be able to pur …
What did you think of President Obama's State of the Union speech?
Wed Jan 25, 2012
- Didn't want to hear the twists, refusal to accept his failure nor his arrogant tone. SOTU have become partisan slams and re-election speec
We are the median: Housing costs hurt N.Y. widow
Wed Dec 7, 2011
- Yes, with mortgage, student loans, car repair (old cars), food cost rising every few months, and so forth... it's increasingly harder to pa
Ohio puts 200-pound third-grader in foster care
Sun Nov 27, 2011
- When I lived in Ohio, my county's CPS was known to be one of the worst in the country. One woman who use to be a CPS caseworker said... that if they could not find something to put down on their records... the supervisor would have to come out and find it for them. She said it's because they needed …
Victims speak out about North Carolina sterilization program, which targeted women, young girls and blacks
Mon Nov 7, 2011
- African Americans were not the only ones targeted for involuntary 'birth control', Native Americans were also routinely sterilized as well. It's believed that 25% (though some sources claim 42%) of the Native American women had tubes tied as well as hysterectomies without their knowledge or permiss …
Judge's daughter: Hope beating video gets him help
Wed Nov 2, 2011
- Yes, he had a problem with her having the computer and Internet... note though- he never controlled the access to the computer- if it's 'evil' then he needed to take it out of the bedroom and place it in his possession and only give it to her, at the table, for homework, esp if he was worried about …
'Occupy' protesters find allies in ranks of the wealthy
Fri Oct 21, 2011
- DFR-3634868 that would mean he'll have his money gone and others around him would still have theirs. That would be considered UNFAIR. Most of those protesters really don't know much of the world of finance anyways... all they know is .. it's unfair and don't talk to them about solutions- they don't …

I love unique names! Variety is the spice of life.

Yes. She was right to fight for her kids, even if they would rather stay with their father.
What's the best child-care option for kids of working parents?
- Unfortunately in today's society- both parents are sometimes force to work just to met the rising cost of the basics (food, utilities, and mortgage). Another solution is to have a trusted family member watch over the kid if both parents have to work. Esp one that truly loves the kids. My husb …
Should she have let her son meet his dying dad?
Yes. She did the right thing. The risk was well worth the reward in this case.

Are you resolving to get fit in the new year?
Maybe. I'm still working on my resolutions, but I think it will be part of the list.
- It's been a struggle the last few years.. so we resolved to take more pride in what we do have,including our health and house.
Why never spanking might be worse for kids than spanking them
Yes. Occasional spanking is OK.
- I find those that never had to swat their child either only have the 1 kid and that child, and like most dogs, have a great desire to please their parents. But rarely do I hear about how lucky that parent feels for having a child that fit their mindset as if the childs personality or emotional intel …
- I'm going to add something here, sorry for being long-winded... It's not just about if spanking a child is wrong. I've seen a parent never raise their hand to hit a child but what came out of their mouth was more damaging than a red bottom. Verbal abuse can be just as horrible as a beating.
- yourkiddingright23, Who were you talking about having 3 kids?.
- Well obviously you didn't read my post.. you just ran on an assumption. What did you do.... I disagree and you made assumptions without reading through? I have 2 kids... a boy and a girl that I can handle just fine... My kids are great kids. BOTH my kids teachers, adults they are around, and the ex …
- DeeDee, I agree with you. I've raised 2 kids, 7 dogs, a couple of horses, and 5 cats. ALL TRAINABLE if you know what you are doing. Each one takes a different approach. My grandmother use to have a ranch. She would train the cats as well. Some easily would use the toilet, some refused to because th …
Gifting gone wild: Can kids get too much at the holidays?
Yes. The pile of presents gets crazy and overwhelming and the kids really can't appreciate it all.
- The more you give each year, the more is expected the following year. Esp now that we have split homes where 2 sets of parents give gifts.
Is it disrespectful to harbor a secret crush when you're in a relationship?
No. It’s just a harmless fantasy!
Should baby boys be circumcised?
Maybe. I think it's a very personal family decision.
- Even though I do understand what you are trying to get at... there's a difference between extra folds of skin and a clitoris. The clitoris is full of nerve endings and erectile tissues, and is like removing the penis. There is more lasting damage and pain for that kind of procedure than removing so …
- I know what is done.
- It's a family decision. One that should be made by the PARENT's not some 'know better than you" individual that not responsible for the ki
