I completely agree with you. I was so shocked that they tried to make a tie with Darwinism and Nazism. Since I have watched this film, I will never look at Ben Stein the same. He seems to be an absolute idiot to me now.

I just watched this documentary and I thought it was absolutely ridiculous. It was acctually quite hard for me to watch it in it's entirety. Especially when it seemed as if he was trying to make a connection with so called "Darwinist" ( I'm guessing he's using this term to refer to people who...
I think it does majorly depend on the people and place, mainly the people and the situation in general. I'm assuming that she didn't start in the business because you lost your job and didn't want to make any effort to find one, so in turn leaving her with (seemingly) no other choice. That was...
I don't know if you have decided to do this or not yet. I have not read through all of the post. There are quite a few. But this is my two cents. I've been in that type of lifestyle. It is never as it seems. I promise you. Everything seems so great and wonderful and easy. It's not. At all. There...
I don't think that you can say that you are talking about the majority. I would think you are probably talking about the minority that you see in the media. I would say that the majority of women in the U.S. are not like what you see in the media.
And for your info I was not suggesting that...
No problem. I think that it is really interesting to see people form different cultures discussing the way they think about things. I can sometimes get a little sticky because what each person has been taught or has been raised in is real and true for them. I think as long as we have open minds...
Oh my gosh! Okay, I'm sorry for getting so defensive. I really thought that you were being serious. I definitely do not like it when people judge just because their culture is different. I have watched a documentary about this very subject of wearing the hijab and there were women that felt...
Maybe I answered a little hastily without thinking about what I was saying. Sorry. I just think that insisting that women must cover their bodies as they do in his culture, and saying thing like western women souls are degraded, our bodies are exploited and that we are deprived of our honor...
Oh no! I feel so helpless because I'm wearing some shorts and a t-shirt right now! I need someone to rescue me by covering every inch of my body except for my hands and face with material!:facepalm:
Wow! I guess I'm brainwashed... You have no reason to feel sorry for us western women. I know I am perfectly happy. You know I could say the same about the women of Islam. But I don't because if it is their choice to do the things they do and it makes them happy then so be it. You all are happy...
This is a little offensive to me. I'm a western woman and I do not feel that my body is exploited, my soul degraded, or that I'm deprived of my honor. I feel happy and lucky that I was born where I was, when I was and that I have the freedom that I do. I can wear what I want, go to work, be...
So I had this thread moved because I was not really wanting to debate anything. I was really just wanting some questions answered. I know that there are some really cool Christian people on this forum, but especially where I live there seems to be a lot that get very jugdemental, angry and so on...
I usually do say that. I get really tired of not being able to say certain things because of people's narrow mindedness. I think he felt comfortable to ask those things because he's a regular customer of ours, so he sees us quite often.
That's true. It's just frustrating. It feels to me that they feel they are better than me or something. I just wish people could be more understanding. I live in the Bible Belt and I feel like I always have to watch what I say because I may offend someone or upset them.
So I'm at work right now and this morning I had a customer come in to pay off his loan. He is a regular with our company and I know him by name. Well there was a cricket in the change tray where the money is slid through to my side of the glass and my regular says to me to go ahead and kill the...
Really... I'm sorry but I do not understand this reasoning at all. So lets see, if I understand you right, then if I have a child and I say to my child to do what I say and he doesn't then I have the right to murder him? I gave life to him so I can take it away? Doesn't make much sense, right...
