Due to circumstances beyond my control, I’m on public assistance. It’s been this way for over a decade now. I had a bright future ahead of me: Having graduated no. 9 in my high school class, I aspired to get a Master of Arts degree in English at a local university. I’ve been a talented writer...

I want to become a non-drinker in the worst possible way, and admittedly I envy the fact that you were able to become one. When I have more money in the future, I thought about going to an in-house recovery center in case I need the tools to stay off alcohol for the rest of my life. Certainly it...

Years ago, my mom bought me something called Jake’s Chew to help me quit. It’s an herbal long-cut dip that doesn’t contain any nicotine. I tried it, and yeah, I had the sensation of ‘tobacco’ in my mouth, but unfortunately it didn’t give me any relief from the extreme withdrawal head pain. The...

I decided to create this thread to report on my recovery journey with God and encourage others who are suffering with addictions. Maybe you’re like me and deal with alcoholism and nicotine addiction, or perhaps it’s some other form of addiction that is afflicting your life. Here I am going to...

Why do you think that aiding Ukraine and subsequently containing Russia could start WW3? If anything, holding Russia back from invading other countries by confining their war of aggression in only one country is preventing WW3. You don’t have to be a liberal to think this way, and I am a moderate.

He insulted me, and his characterization of my so-called irrationality and stupidity is patently false. Regarding my aforementioned post from over a month ago, I made an analogy: My question to Trump supporters isn’t any different than asking how Hillary supporters could vote for her when she...

Donald Trump’s conduct in his private life isn’t consistent with being a Christian. If he were a sincere Christian, he wouldn’t have betrayed all three of his wives. Unlike Obama, who was a church-going Christian, I haven’t seen any evidence of Trump ever going to church. Nor have I heard him...

It’s easy to feel sorry for people from less fortunate countries who want a better life abroad. Sadly we can’t have open borders. It entails undocumented immigrants overwhelming our social services and making our country a poorer place. The American slogan “land of the free” does not mean people...

If you get a sufficient amount of sleep but still feel exhausted, you probably have obstructive sleep apnea. You should get a referral to an ENT. He can order a sleep study to confirm the specific issue, and then can get you a CPAP or mouth guard if needed to improve sleep quality. Praying that...

A month and a half ago I created a thread in the debate forum asking how conservative Evangelicals can vote for Trump when he is a deeply sinful man, drawing specific attention to his serial betrayals of all three of his wives. By no means was my thread intended to challenge anyone’s views or...

I stand corrected. It isn’t right to censor Tucker Carlson’s interview with Putin, since free speech is a core civic value here in the United States. My main concern was that Putin could have been planning to invade other smaller Eastern European countries, and that interviewing the guy would...

You have been asking Wrangler to answer that question again and again, and he continually evades answering it. The guy has poor debate skills, isn’t intellectually honest, and lacks the humility to admit when he has been wrong. Why bother trying to have an honest discussion with him when he...

You believe the shooter was motivated by anti-Semitism and wanted to kill as many perceived Christians Zionists as possible (which seems to be the most plausible explanation based on the evidence so far), so why make a thread about her trans identity? Isn’t that irrelevant? How does it relate to...

I’ve been watching Joel Osteen’s sermons with quite some regularity. I also attended one of his sermons in person, since I live in Houston (Lakewood Church is way on the other side of town, though, and it is a monster commute). To my knowledge, Joel Osteen has never made any critical remarks...

Houston is America’s fattest city according to this report: Houston is “America’s Fattest City” As a native Houstonian, I’m not surprised in the least bit. Here in my city, there are restaurants on practically every corner. Whenever I visit other cities, I always notice there are fewer...
