I'm sure over the long run it balances out. I know that an article I read over 20 years ago promoted eliminating the penny to save the US Mint money. The penny costs more than it's face value to produce and in order to maintain the number in circulation the mint has to produce a ridiculous...

They've been threatening to discontinue pennies for a long time, I'll believe it when I see it.

Currently your user title is "well-known member". For non-subscribers their user title changes based on time on site and number of posts starting off as "new member" and end off as "Senior Member". As for myself, I put up "Idiot in Chief" back before we offered custom user titles to...

If this was the case I wouldn't have issue with it, but in reality MGTOW tends to promote men disengaging from society.

In a court of law they would be told Ignorantia legis neminem excusat (ignorance of the law excuses no one). The same concept applies to sin.

I'll just drop this here. MGTOW is definitely an over reaction to extreme feminism and is arguably contrary to scripture.

The dumb thing with this is that (for the consumer) nat gas is less expensive than electricity for heating/cooking. Likewise, it's more reliable than electricity for cooking (every place can end up with a power outage from time to time. Tack on top of that, if an area is still predominantly...

Under the current system only subscribers or regular donors can get a custom user title.

Originally the subscriptions were in the live chat only. A paid subscription gave the subscriber the ability to initiate private messaging and priority in the que for the mic. More recently subscriptions were expanded into the forums for access to private messaging and the ability to chose a...

Paid subscriptions can take 24 to 48 hours to become active since we haven't been able to automate the system yet. Once the subscription is paid our lead Admin has to confirm the payment and activate the features.

You have to remember that what we call "Prepping" today was normal not too long ago (at least here in the US). Think about it, prior to WWII the majority of Americans lived in rural areas without electricity and many were subsistence farmers. In that lifestyle you spent the summer "prepping"...

May their sacrifice never be forgotten

A handful of years ago RoboOp tried "Christian" based advertising and found that a lot of it wasn't very Christian.

What I found interesting as a teenager in California was that I was distantly related to old money in California. Governor Leland Stanford (for whom Stanford University was named) was a distant relative who had transplanted from New York at the time of the gold rush. Our common ancestor dated...

LOL. Most of my ancestry from the other side of the pond is Scotch and English if I'm not mistaken. The entymology of my surname (Stanford) is old English (stony ford).

My Mom would know more about family location pre-Revolution (she's always been the family history junkie). I do know that my Grandmother's family (on my Dad's side) was from Lynn Mass (just a little north of Boston) dating back numerous generations.

I've always bemoaned the fact that post WWII with advancements in travel Americans have lost their roots (and in the process pride in their family) because families have become scattered across the country. When I was in Middle School (over 35 years ago) we had to do a family tree as a class...

Moses Stanford (my great, great, etc. grandfather) lived in Zoar Massachusetts, and my grandfather was born in Rowe Mass (about 4 miles from Zoar). When I was 16 we were up there visiting one of my Dad's elderly uncles and we went through some of the old cemeteries. It was kind of cool to...

Personally I have nothing against gambling (in controlled moderation) any more than I am against someone wasting a bunch of cash going to the movies or other recreational activity. IMO where gambling becomes sin is when it becomes an addiction where large sums of cash are being thrown away in...

You have to remember that "Freedom of Speech" in Canada is not the same as here in the US since it is not clearly codified in their constitution in the same manner. Canada over the years has passed laws against "hate speech" which of course over the years, what is considered to be hate speech...
