Is a hookup really an indication of a lack of self respect?

Marcie1974 comments on Mar 29, 2018:

I would say in my 20s if I was hooking up it was due to a lack of self respect. Now I'm in my 40s and if I have a hook up it's because I want to get laid.

What is the plural of Jesus?

Etre comments on Mar 29, 2018:

Jesus' is the correct way I believe. So I will just dive in...... first of all the christ figure' name was not jesus. That is a translation. The letter J did not exist till the 1600 during the great vowel shift. Y is or was the phonetic spelling. Yeshua I believe is correct for an arabic to english ...

@Nottheonlyone We were playing in Roswell N.M. for two weeks! After you've seen the aliens, there wasn't much to do, so that is what we came up with. Also, if you were left handed you had to bowl right handed and if left handed......you get it. I'm not sure why we thought we needed an extra degree of difficulty. We probably tried to keep score, but l can't really be sure.

Morality?

JMA88 comments on Mar 25, 2018:

Of course. In fact I would challenge a theist to explain how obeying orders is truly moral - and what that worldview implies about human nature (a much more pessimistic view of human behavior, surely).

Sticks48 replies on Mar 25, 2018:

Pretty accurate, and more optimistic the my assessment. :)

In spite of her flaws and the criticisms made of her she would have won.

@jorj He actually said they were checking into something and said they found nothing a few days later. We know Trumps a crook. He doesn't pay his bills ( technically that is stealing ), declares bankruptcy so he doesn't have to pay back bank loans, which is why he can't get a bank in the U.S. to finance his business deals and he got elected to the Presidency. So I think she'll be OK. After Muller gets through with him he won't be OK. :)
