This is hard to read, but it really hit home for me. It happened near where I live. "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." 8-year-old boy killed trying to protect his sister, 12, from rapist | Mail Online

Reading about Marie Antoinette got me thinking. Her house would have been condemned in modern times, at least in America. It was drafty, rat-infested and had no indoor plumbing. Yet she was one of, if not the, richest women in France. So I wanted to do a lighter thread, because the last few...

Social Security, Treasury target taxpayers for their parents’ decades-old debts - The Washington Post According to the article, "someone" tucked this game-changer into the farm bill. The statute of limitations had always been 10 years in the past. Also, to any non-Americans, is...

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. Is it Christian to ignore certain people on the forums? I believe it is. Those who...

Human Barbie doll takes hypnotherapy sessions: ‘I actually wanna be brainless’ - San Diego Top News | Examiner.com This may not seem like the best source, but I confirmed it on other sources. I used this one because the others has NSFW pictures of the woman.

Pretty simple, just make a rebus (or word puzzle, I'm pretty lax on rules here) out of pictures, and post in this thread. Extra points if you come up with one that stumps the rest of us! Here's an example in case anyone doesn't know: Translated: "Don't escalate the situation." Now...

Utah school throws out lunches of students with unpaid bills - Newsday

I saw this cartoon, and it stuck with me for a while. I kept thinking there may be some on here who should see it. I just saw it again last night, so I'm presenting it to you beloved brothers and sisters. I hope it touches someone. Enjoy!

Israeli mother fined for refusing to have son circumcised - NY Daily News I support the woman's right to make the decision herself. This sort of underscores the problem with theocracies, in my opinion.

John Kerry: Obama Did Not Order All NSA Spying I quote from my local paper: "Kerry says Obama didn't personally order all the various types of snooping that have been revealed..."

Popclick's thread about Bob got me thinking. There are a number of things about which I could say "I don't see why anyone would do that." This thread is to get those questions answered. Post in this thread if you want help understanding something you can't fathom. I'll start off, this...

North Carolina GOP precinct chair resigns after racial remarks – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs I don't watch Comedy Central, so this may be old news to everyone else. But evidently even The Daily Show was shocked at what he was saying, asking him if he knew that they were...

The difference between this and Seatbelt's 1,000 words thread is you must have taken any pictures you post. I am going to try to post a picture I have taken every week or so, but others are free to post also. Starting off with a caterpillar I found chilling in the rain this morning. I like...

Ayo Kimathi, Homeland Security Employee, Has Side Gig Promoting Race War, Bashing Gays This was the oddest story I read all week. Enjoy.

I think I should post this. But just as a warning, if you think you don't wanna know, you don't. Bestiality brothels are 'spreading through Germany' as campaigner claims abusers see sex with animals as a 'lifestyle choice' | Mail Online

I saw in Jullianna's thread about rights, there was mention of firearms. So I figured I'd start a new thread, as I didn't want to derail Jullianna's thread. (That's actually a lie, I desperately wanted to derail it, I just didn't want her to wax my legs :D) I wanted to hear from the folks...

I read recently that it is considered polite and commonplace in India to ask someone you just meet questions such as, "How much do you weigh?" and, "How much money do you make at your job?" I have heard a few ladies from the USA complain that men often ask them such questions in the chat...

I was once, actually twice, told in the chat room that my name makes people think of JimmyJohn's restaurant. I figured there must be other interesting stories there! Here's one of mine: When I see MissCriss, I ALWAYS mentally sing her name to the tune of...

I didn't write this, I saw it in a church bulletin a few years ago. Enjoy! I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu, kept people looking so hard for facts. For some people it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not...

Our sense of smell is powerfully linked to memories. Many people can distinctly recall the smell of something from an event that happened many years ago. I have an unusual nose, evidently. I love the smell of marigold and tomato plants, but I hate the smell of most peonies. What about...
