"Hey, John, have you quit beating your wife ?" is only a question, too. So I assume you would agree that wouldn't be a shot? (That's just a question.) What was even the point of a question like yours to be asked of one of the sweetest people on this entire forum?

Hey, Lita is one very special girl no one really has any business taking shots at.

"Scared Straight" is an accepted and approved program for Druggies that many people applaud. But, the same treatment should never be applied to children.

OK.

The word "sin", because of stressing damning connotations, can implant very negative perceptions of themselves in young minds that, unfortunately, they may, throughout life, always relate back to in future times when unthinking Legalists get on their "condemning" high horses and start spouting...

I am not a Dispensationalist; I probably lean more to Christian Reconstructionism. But, as much as CR looks to following many laws, I also believe that many laws have been fulfilled, and we needn't search for and ferret-out a list of laws to follow, hoping doing so will make us Holy.

I haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about..... but if you have to spend the whole week doing something (even if it is only reading) then you are not getting whatever it is you get every Thursday for free. Since you say you don't even make a living wage doing that, I would say you...

That's exactly what I mean. You were taught that getting a Sheepskin would give you a good life.... otherwise, you would not have spent the time to amass "heaps of degrees." And you are now going to have to learn the hard way that it is WORK and saving and sacrifice that get you somewhere in...

Sadly, we did make one big mistake — that of never teaching younger generations that there is no free lunch. We bought most of them a sheepskin (with our money) and told them it would open doors that would provide them with a relatively workless life. We even neglected to teach them how to...

It does seem like feminists are pushing hard for it to become almost necessary. Where the stupid idea of "Toxic Masculinity" ever came from, I'll never know.

Thank you, Jerry.

My wife and I both agree. We think you both got a great deal. (Durn, I'm feelin' so good, I just might call you guys for dinner out somewhere,)

I don't think Jesus ever said anything about acting (or dressing) one way inside a "church" building, but operating by another standard elsewhere. I suspect there are very few "Christians" spouting holiness and modesty whose dressers wouldn't contain a pair of shorts if you were to take a look...

Your first four words say as much as I think anyone needs to know about what you must find acceptable. :)

I attend a fairly "progressive" church, and about a quarter of the people wear shorts. Due to my background, I instinctively notice male reactions. It is interesting that even pretty short shorts hardly ever phase many of the men. And the younger men look even less than some of the older...

And, I'll give ya that one, too. Jer can type up a storm.

I worked with the courts a lot, and the girl's attire was often an excuse we heard in sexual assault cases.

OK.... Dar, I'll give you Saturday mornings for the quiet. :oops:

:rolleyes: As we keep telling our offending clients...… "Sorry, your reaction is not the girl's fault."

Immodesty is usually in the eye of the beholder.
