My impression of the general population of the nude beach was more along the lines of wilted fruit. Even the most hedonistic photographer would not waste a shot there. My thanks to Aspen2 who gave the best explanation of the practice of nudity, which is all I was after in the first place...

I posted this elsewhere, but it bears repeating here. (Excellent post on the bear spray, BTW) See Warren v. District of Columbia 1981 Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement officers were not obligated to defend citizens. Bottom line here is that the obligation for LEOs is to document the...

See Warren v. District of Columbia 1981 Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement officers were not obligated to defend citizens. Bottom line here is that the obligation for LEOs is to document the crime and perform preliminary investigation on the circumstances. Crime clean up, basically...

Actually you didn't make $100. Depending upon your federal tax bracket you may owe the government 10%-15% of that amount. Add to that state income taxes of approximately 2%-5% (or more). Add to that FICA tax - and I have no idea how much they're taking out percentage wise. Let's just say...

Jesus died spiritually? Why do you write that it's a charismatic heresy?

The prosperity gospel is heresy. People are leaving the church because of rubbish like this. Devotion to Jesus Christ means bending the knee in service, not picking His pocket while you're down there. but that's just me, hollering from the choir loft...

I apologize ahead of time for including the full body of the above post, but I think it's important to review. I was a member of a Naval support group in September of 1973 that participated in the overthrow of President Allende of Chili. At the time, the main group we were supporting were...

Thank you for the link. My daughter works in the mental health field. Specifically she assists adults who are unable to care for themselves. The system, the country which has pledged by law and moral vow to care and defend us is abandoning its duty. Mentally ill patients are forced onto...

Most, if not all, the opinions of Americans today about the mass shootings in Connecticut are hypocritical if not terribly ill conceived. "If an American is concerned only about his nation, he will not be concerned about the peoples of Asia, Africa, or South America. Is this not why nations...

Can somebody explain to me why wanting to keep the money you've earned is greedy, while demanding someone else give you theirs isn't? Beware religious con artists who create rules and laws of benefit to few but themselves. "The parsons will dig their own graves. They will betray their God to...

Few books, Christian or otherwise, are printed to inform readers of truthful things that can build a life. Textbooks are especially prone to misrepresentation, yet we use them to fill our student's heads with rubbish. Religious books are a close second. Printed to titillate the heart rather...

I don't quite follow your statement. Initially you seem to be saying that unsalty Christians have no right to their opinion simply because they've lost their flavor before God. If so, that category would also include the unsaved. Your statement is confusing because it employs references to...

Read the Bible. It's there from front to back. The word, however, appears nowhere in it's pages. The discussion and the problem with the term and the word is that of committing an experience to human language. The experience I'm talking about is God and the several forms He takes. The...

The book of Romans is also known as the Grand Canyon of the Bible. It is so well written that the newest Christian as well as the oldest theologian will be able to mine a wealth of wisdom from its pages each time they are studied. Understanding is indeed best achieved when words, chapters and...

Take guns away.....a simple answer? NOT SO SIMPLE. In Webster, NY a gunman shot 6 firemen. The gun man was a felon who could not legally own a gun, yet he somehow obtained one. That's in a state where gun possession and use is strictly regulated. Take the guns away? I hate to reiterate...

I am an employee of a community college in central Florida. Currently our state supreme court (the same court that voted to spend a fortune on a new building they didn't need....) is deliberating on allowing properly licensed students to carry concealed weapons on campus. Oddly the college...

SYMPTOMS of a godless sick society are violence and insensitivity to the needs of the aged and infirm. "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death." - Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. circa 1966...

THE PROBLEM, the real social problem, is a lack of treatment for mental health issues. Not gun control. America spends trillions of dollars (we don't have) to finance murder of foreign persons to advance the cause of American hegemony. America sacrifices decent medical treatment of its own to...

It's hard to argue that the defense of one's person, property, family and coworkers is a right, especially in America which has now become so twisted that former values have been stood on their head. Wrong is right. Right is wrong. You know the drill as well as I. Violence is ok on the TV...

Credentialing or completion of a degreed program is a method that assures a person is able to study, extract information and publish it by means of speech and written word in a form that can be understood by others. A formal education simply means that a man or woman is recognized as having...
