And why don't they know better. It always amazes me when I go to a Walmart, and see the "mullet" family...Like father, like son (and sometimes mom also)

I'm doing a persuasive speech for my communications class and as part of my speech I need to have a survey. This is what I want to know:

1.) Do you think it's important for children to believe in Santa? Why or why not?
2.) Do you think it's important for people of all ages to believe in Santa? Why or why not?
3.) Any Santa facts or websites with Santa facts/statistics would be extremely helpful.
4. And your age if you don't mind.

Thanks!

I asked a question in here previously about following Jesus's example without actually reading the bible and being a christian and I was immediately attacked. I was told 'no, you cannot, because you have to know he died for your sins so you can know him personally'......yea? really? So Jesus only died to remind us forever that he died for us and that he needs to be glorified? Following his example, helping people comes second? Am I missing something here?

I feel it's more or less that these people's personal feelings overstretching their boundaries. In their minds, 'hey, I don't get to do what i want to do because the bible is my guide, no way you get to get away with stuff and get into heaven'. Its rather obvious human nature in my opinion. "If I have to live uncomfortably to get into heaven, so will you." People don't want to watch someone freely and enjoyably do what they are restricted from get into heaven with them, they feel they should be rewarded for their loyalty.

Whats your reason for seeing your example as a "moral downward spiral".
My answer-I would say between 1840 and 1929. Big Business Tycoons and then the Market Crash. But Im sure there are better answers than mine.

I wish people would be more kinder when behind the wheel.

Christmas rekindles all the best we've ever had~
The wonderful traditions you taught us,
And we kept from year to year
Added to each Holiday
To make it's meaning clear.
Your warmth, smiles and laughter
Kept us eager to believe
In the magic and wonder
That was part of Christmas Eve,
And though Christmas
Have come and gone,
It seems that wishes did come true,
In the lasting love our family shares
Because of the caring by both of you.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!
From the Skycat!!!!!!

I have been in and out of the Wiccan belief becuase I was born a Mormon. I have studied and learned from the Wiccans. However, something doesn't sit right with me. I have noticed that some of the Wiccans have the Pentagram upside down, like as Satanic, what does that represent? Is it banishing? Because I thought it was that you belive more in the power of Fire and Air..?

How do you feel about mixed race marriages and children. I've always liked the differences between the races, always loved the exotic flower garden all the races made. Since there is still so much racism, do you think that we should all marry whomever until we all just look alike to cut down on prejudice and bigotry?

I got a tattoo on my arm when I was young, 15, and I started going to this church a couple of years later and they told me a that my tattoo was a contract with Satan. It made me feel like it was not worth it to even bother. I was wondering if getting a tattoo sends a person to Hell?
