I live in Toms River, and there has to be a local tv station that will air the parade. I always watch it on tv, as the crowd downtown is way to much for me to handle!

Why are men pressured to act masculine by society. But the gender roles for women are less rigid and has more options?

That is basically what the Bible says is going to happen to all of the imperfect "so-called" children of God? Who wrote this book and set of rules anyway? It says so in the Bible, right? Personally, I will not follow a silly book designed to keep pillagers off villagers. I believe in God, but not the silly, unthinkable crap in the Bible. Anyone else agree? And can you holier than though bible thumpers tell me why you disagree in a nice, polite way? Using your own brain and not quoting all these paragraphs with numbers? LOL!

All religions believe they have the absolute truth. How do you
know when you have it? If God wants us to serve Him, why doesn't he manifest which religion has the absolute truth? Since He has not done that, is it logical to conclude that no one has the "truth"? I thought He is not a God of confusion.

Dear Concerned Student:

I am not allowed in schools.

Sincerely,

God

------------------------------

How did this get started?...

-----------------
Let's see,
I think it started when Madelie Murray O'hare
complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools.

And we said, OK.

------------------

Then, someone said you better not read the Bible in school,
the Bible that says "thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbors as yourself,"

And we said, OK...

-----------------

Dr. Benjamin Spock said
we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehaved because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem.

And we said, an expert should know what he's talking about so we won't spank them anymore..

------------------

Then someone said
teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave.
And the school administrators said no faculty member in this school
better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity,
and we surely don't want to be sued.

And we accepted their reasoning...

------------------

Then someone said,
let's let our daughters have abortions if they want, and they won't even have to tell their parents.

And we said, that's a grand idea...

------------------

Then some wise school board member said,
since boys will be boys and they're going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they want,
so they can have all the fun they desire, and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school.

And we said, that's another great idea...

------------------

Then some of our top elected officials said
it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.

And we said,
it doesn't matter what anybody, including the President, does in private as long as we have jobs
and the economy is good....

------------------

And someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children
and then stepped further still by making them available on the Internet.

And we said, everyone's entitled to free speech....

------------------

And the entertainment industry said,
let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence and illicit sex...
And let's record music that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes...

And we said,
it's just entertainment and it has no adverse effect and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.

------------------

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience,
why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, classmates or even themselves.

------------------

Undoubtedly, if we thought about it long and hard enough, we could figure it out. I'm sure it has a great deal to do with...

I keep hearing people say I'm a christian, but they don't go to church or anything. Other people say they're catholic or whatever, but they stop short of saying they're christian.

Can someone be catholic, methodist, etc and not be a christian?

It seems to me that when married people in the US have affairs they are very harshly jugded, but in some countries in Europe and in the rest of world, while not encouraged, seems to be accepted as a natural part of life. Why is this?

Aunque no conocia esta marca, me arriesgué por sus características técnicas y quedé gratamente sorprendido. Presenta una imagen sin igual. Colores, contraste, y velocidad superior. Comparados con otras marcas muy conocidas y de precio muy superior (como el otro que compré) el N2050W 20 las deja 5 años atras

My neighbor in the apartment complex parks in the same spot
every day. She thinks it is her spot. She complained to me the
other day that I was in her parking spot. Parking is limited at the
apartment complex. She has no special right to the parking spot.
However, she has lived her longer than I have. Should I defer to
her irrational belief that the parking space is hers? I really want to park there just to spite her. Would you? I have no relationship with her friendly or otherwise. Am I just being an ***? Many residents park on the street because of the limited off street parking.
