  • Xangans Are Like the Taliban

    About every time I read a post on xanga about cheating, I will see comments about how the guy involved deserves to have his penis cut off or he deserves death.

    Well there is good news for xangans.  A woman accused of adultery was shot a bunch of times in public in Afghanistan.  Here is the link:  Link

    This makes me so happy.  It is always nice to see a cheater get what they have coming.

    Do you enjoy seeing a cheater get what he/she has coming to him/her?

                                                                                                          

  • Peony Flowers

    My wife’s favorite flower is the peony flower.

    What is your favorite flower?

                                                                          

  • Fat Pride

    I found this website called “Skinny Gossip.”  The site indicates it is not a site for anorexia but instead is pro-skinny.

    One of the discussions on the site is about “fat pride” and using obese or overweight models. 

    The writer of the article mentioned that people are much heavier these days and that the models are not getting skinnier but that we are getting fat. 

    One thought in the article was “The whole ‘fat pride’ movement is irritating because plus-sizers want to tell us ‘big is beautiful’ and it should be represented more in the modeling industry. I say it’s the opposite: if big really was beautiful, and most people wanted to be big, and wanted to see big people, don’t you think we’d see a lot more fat people modeling? I do. But we don’t – because it isn’t.”  Here is the link:  Link

    Is big really beautiful?

                                                                          

  • Are Things Getting Better With Obama?

    We had a discussion at work today after the jobs report came out and the unemployment rate stayed at 8.2%.  This number is higher than it was when President Obama was elected.  Here is the link:  Link

    The discussion at work was pretty heated as we were discussing “Are things getting better with President Obama?”

    I didn’t argue.  I just threw on the table that no one blames President Obama for the recession because it happened before he was elected.  I also mentioned that no one gives him credit for the end of the recession since it ended around June of 2009 just months after he was elected.  Here is the link:  Link

    So no one blames him for the recession and no one credits him for ending the recession.

    I threw on the table that people just blame him for the fact that nothing is getting better.

    I didn’t participate in the discussion.  I just sat back and listened as they argued whether things were getting better with President Obama.

    Are things getting better with President Obama?

                                                                                                                         

  • Deleting Comments

    I rarely delete comments.  I usually just delete if someone posts a bunch of comments in the first 25-50 comments.

    But I have noticed that some people delete the comments of others on their post just because the comments anger them.

    Have you ever deleted comments?

                                                         

  • Seeing Angels

    A former police officer who arrived after United Airlines Flight 93 crashed on 9/11 said she saw angels guarding the site of the crash.  Here is the link:  Link

    Do you believe in Angels?

                                                                                                                 

  • Breast Implants for a 14 Year Old

    A mother and her daughters have now had 13 breast implant surgeries.  They look so happy.

    The mother is now encouraging her 14 year old daughter to get breast implants too.  Here is the link:  Link

    Do you think 14 is too young to start considering breast implants?

                                                            

  • Hiding Your Past

    It is amazing to me how many people on xanga feel like they have to hide their past.

    One woman mentioned she used to be a stripper but her husband doesn’t know.  Another woman mentioned she was in a porn video (I looked.  I had to look) and doesn’t want her parents or boyfriend to find out.

    I have read 50-60 posts on xanga in the last several years written by people (usually women) that lie about their number of sexual partners.  So once they lie and then they get married, they really can’t find a way to correct the lie.

    Is there something in your past that you are afraid will become public?

                                                                                                               

  • How Did You Find Xanga?

    In my last post, resident detective Celestial_Teapot commented “Another TheTheologiansCafe entry could be, ‘What brought you to Xanga?’  I’d be interested in hearing how of a lot of the late adopters decided to join this site.”

    How did you find out about xanga?

                                                                          

  • How Long Have You Been on Xanga?

    I noticed a few people celebrating their xangaversary on here.

    I rarely celebrate mine on time because I always forget the date this site started.  But next month it will be seven years on this site.  It has been about 7 and a half years total.  That is only a year less than the age of my youngest child.

    How long have you been on xanga?
