  • Work

    Would your workplace be impacted in a significant way if you were to suddenly leave?

                                                                           

  • Baggy Pants

    Should this trend be banned from the classroom?

     

  • Farting

    A retired bus driver has been given a written letter asking him to step out of a social club when he is farting.

    Maurice Fox
     
    The letter said, “After several complaints regarding your continual breaking of wind (farting) while in the club, would you please consider that your actions are considered disgusting to fellow members and visitors.”  Here is the link:  Link  (For those of you who doubt this is news, you can see this important story was covered by Foxnews).
     
    Do you typically leave a crowded room if you have to fart?
     
     

  • Church Shooting

    A church shooting took place in Colorado yesterday.

    Lockdown … police at the scene of the second shooting.

    The gunman was killed by a security guard in the church.  Here is the link:  Link

    I took note that there was an armed security guard in the church yesterday and then saw that a friend had noticed it too.

    Jesus told his disciples to “turn the other cheek.”

    “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.” (Matthew 5:38-42, NIV)

    Is it consistent with the teaching of Jesus for a church to have an armed security guard?

     

  • Calling President Bush

    A 16-year-old from Iceland apparently got his hands on the private number of President Bush.

    President Bush waves after attending a church service at St. ...

    He called the number but wasn’t able to get to the president.  He was able to get all the way to the president’s secretary.  He pretended to be the president of Iceland and asked for a private meeting with President Bush.

    He received a special visit from authorities.  He is claiming he was told he would never be able to come to the U.S. if he didn’t tell how he got the phone number.  He is refusing to tell how he got it.  Here is the link:  Link

    If you got the president’s phone number, would you call it?  

                                                                                                

  • Hooters

    I was reading angi1972′s site.  She took her kids to Hooters.  Apparently in their area, kids eat free on Sunday.

    A Hooters Girl models one of the restaurant chain's waitress outfits, which sometimes create controversy.

    I mentioned before about how a school teacher in our area got in trouble for taking students to Hooters but it never even occurred to me that some people would take their own children.

    Would you take your children to Hooters?

                                                            

  • Nun Cursing

    Sister Kathy Avery of St. Clare of Montefalco Catholic School instructed her students that she has a zero-tolerance policy on cursing.

    She read a list of the curse words and phrases that were banned.  Some of the parents were shocked she actually used the words she was telling them to avoid.  Here is the link:  Link

    Do you think it is ok to use the curse words in telling kids which words they can’t say?

     

  • Christmas

    Are you done with your Christmas shopping yet?

                                                                         

  • Clever or Sexy

    I was reading an article about the book “In Prude: How The Sex-Obsessed Culture Damages Girls, Carol Platt Liebau.”

    In the book, the author suggest that women “prefer to look sexy than rather than be clever.  Here is the link:  Link

    Would you rather people think you are attractive or to think you are clever?
