Let's say I encountered someone who said Catholics are the devil because we pray to saints (such criticism does exist). I don't want him or her apologizing to me if they don't really mean it. I'd rather they apologize because they genuinely felt bad.

You mean like how Corey Feldman did anti drug PSA's in the '80s? Personally I'd rather people be honest, lol. Forced apologies don't make me respect people more. I don't know why so many activists demand them from people. There's choosing words more wisely and then there's being terrified of...

I'm one of the few people in the world who likes Empire Strikes Back but can't understand why people think it's better than New Hope. ::shrugs:: I admit, I really like Look Who's Talking, lol. Wasn't that interested in the sequels.

Again, plenty do in New York City. ;)

Heh, they might want to tell that to the Salvation Army bell ringers who accept donations from New Yorkers every Christmas, lol.

Oh yes, such a rarity in humanity, lol.

Sheesh, only proves he's human. Don't exaggerate, lol.

I will say Superman II had a much stronger villain in General Zod. Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor) did admit he was never entirely comfortable playing the franchise's baddie. Home Alone II is sort of your classic retread sequel, but I still enjoy it a lot. They managed to up the ante without jumping...

Have you ever seen the movie Network? It's all there, lol.

Why thank you, lol. ;) Still, I don't think this was all A&E's master plan. I think they did misjudge their audience a bit. I speculate that they mistakenly thought most of the show's audience was there to ridicule the family for being red necks. But as it turned out, the audience just kinda...

While we're busy discussing a TV show, there has been persecution in this world very recently. And it was a little more serious than some GQ article or a network suspending someone... Another Dark Christmas for Iraq's Christians...

I knew they were wealthy since the show started. That was common knowledge as far as I knew. Despite their beards, I don't think anyone could mistake them for poor people. Look at where they live! That was the whole point of the show, they were a family that made good. And actually I thought...

Hey! You found it! I admit, I'm sorry I doubted you, congrats on your persistence. :) Ironically, I actually think the Crack Master is kinda adorable, lol. As a child I probably would have been more scared of the animals when they went through the wall each time. Though I liked the idea that...

This actually kinda comforts me, lol. And hey, they're nice family photos. The guys clean up good, lol. Ahhh, good research there! So yeah, this is probably a look the family had decided to sport and A&E saw possibilities. It's Television. It's in its nature to be a bit deceptive. The...

If he really wanted to save them, he would have replaced the writing staff, heh.

Studying is a very good word for the Bible. Not just reading it but understanding it. And you're right, good things come out of discussion. Censorship, not so much, lol.

Yes, this is very important to keep in mind.

Polygamy is easy too. Look at Jacob and his many sons. They didn't all come from one wife. In fact that's a big part of the story. The point is, there are parts of the Bible that represent a primitive culture. Jesus did contract many aspects of the OT. And I do believe his intent was for us to...

I agree with you, say in relation to what Paul said. I don't see that as endorsing slavery. But in the OT there were instructions about how to properly beat your slaves. That was wrong. And not the will of God.

I'm not asking you to buy. But don't accuse me of things please.
