    what about an animal that's been fed commercial feed, which often contains bone meal? These days, good luck finding commercial meat that's grass/grain fed. If you can, and you trust the supplier to be honest, then it'll cost you a pretty penny.

    Women of all races tend to be more cautious then their male counterparts when approached by an unknown man. Assault and rape are real hazards for women who don't look out for themselves. In many parts of the world women are seen as inviting rape if they're too friendly.

    just tell them you can't bear children. Let them ASSUME you mean you can't gestate the buggers instead of meaning you can't bear to be around them. Most Nosy Parkers look shocked and embarrassed. Which I take quiet amusement in.

    to send folks to hell, but He keeps on ensouling those who he, as an omnipotent being, already KNOWS will end up there. If it's such a terrible thing, he'd quit making folks who'll end up in hell...right? After all, HE'S the All-Mighty. He doesn't HAVE to create "flawed" children. He just does it because it's fun.

    And who sits in front of the mirror staring at themselves and demanding a self assessment of their "worth"? If you need some kind of list of accomplishments to feel good about yourself, I urge you to talk to somebody. Maybe a friend, your clergy, or even a professional. Remember, everybody has a mama, and every one of us has affected anothers life in some way, shape, or form.

    I walk fast because I've got business, lots of responsibilities, a limited amount of time to get the job done, and a boss who doesn't accept excuses. Most of us at work DO, you know. You "pokey joes" who have the time to leisurly stroll through the building drinking hot beverages are the REAL menace. You refuse to get out of the way and will stop just inside the doorway, blocking everybodies access. Try walking to the right and/or moving completely INTO the room.

    I started my employment career in manufacturing, creating product from raw materials. At night I went to school and now I work in the IT department of the same company. I much prefer the office work because I don't go home at night hurting from strained ligaments and torn muscles. I MUCH prefer stressing over deadlines to trying to find a comfortable way to sit or sleep because of the pain in my back and legs.

    I grew up in a touchy-feely, openly affectionate family and often find myself doing many of the same things this guy does. I'm very friendly even to strangers (which could be misconstrued as flirting, I suppose), I hug EVERYBODY and yes, have even accompanied opposite-gender friends to concerts. My husband accepts this because he knows me and he knows that NEVER would I lower myself to cheating. He doesn't get jealous because I've never given him reason to doubt my honesty, my honor, or my love for him.

    in reply to: No “;Junior” women? #21213

    Mara
    Participant
    The term 'junior' is only correctly used if a child is given exactly the same name as his or her parent. Society still expects that women will give up their so-called "maiden" name for that of the husband, which would nullify the reason for having the suffix in the first place. why women don't name their girl babies after themselves more...my theory is that we don't have the responsibility of "carrying on the family name" so we don't feel the same need for continuity as men.

    you confuse two different issues. Physical v Intellectual and Management v Ditch Digger. The majority of office workers, or intellectual labor, don't fit your profile. Upper eschelon perhaps, but not "office people" in general. Generally, we cube-dwellers don't deal with the stress management does. We do our job and go home. So I'd have to agree that yes...manuel labor IS harder work than an office job.

    Most people don't consider abortion as murder because until the fetus can exist outside the woman's womb, it is just part of her body. It doesn't breath, it doesn't ingest nutrients, it doesn't deficate nor urinate. It is not an individual...it's an appendage at best and a parasite at worst.

    ...why wouldn't you go?" Because I don't cheat, even if doing so is easier than playing by the rules. Because I have respect for the law and the rights of others. And because simple decency says you don't break into your neighbors home just because they've got nicer stuff than you.

    it really depends on the relationship you have before you tie the knot. If you already live together and have had all "the conversations" about money, children, religion, the future, etc...no, it doesn't really change. If you are maintiaining seperate residences, seperate bank accounts, and nominal seperate lives...sure, I suppose it would.

    I take it you've never had these people ring your doorbell? Never had a copy of "The Watchtower" left tucked in your screen door? WOW! I didn't think were any of you left. Why do they do it? Because there's a verse in Mathew that instructs believers to "go forth and preach unto nations". That's what they think they're doing.

    "Men" are not better than "women" (or vice versa) at anything. Your verbiage implies that ALL men are better than ALL women (or vice versa) at the given task. There's a bigger difference between Robert Frost and Ben Bernanke than there is between Frost and Maya Anjelou. SOME men do words better than SOME women and vice versa. It's a matter of INDIVIDUAL talents, not gender. "Feminism" doesn't deny the differences between men and women. What we DO deny is that having a certain genitalia endows one with automatic superiority.
