  1. The puzzling thing is, that there is no mention of him on this thread. Should we still use the report function anyway as perhaps a preventative measure?
  2. So it cost us trillions dollars and thousands of lives because Saddam had faulty logic?! What a maroon.
  3. I would read that 9.4% to mean the total of all elderly, rather than the total for all the poor. I really do not know the exact percentage of the Elderly and the Disabled in the total percentage, just that when many begin their deliberations as to how these people should live their lives, these two categories need to be reckoned with.
  4. Perhaps screen resolution or browser type might affect the results you see. For instance, I use 1280 by 1024 due to poor eyesight.
  5. Apparently, a lot of various forum posters fly into SLC at the end of July - first part of August for the Sunstone and Fair Conferences.
  6. Quote: Since companies can discriminate and not hire smokers, should companies have the right not to hire obese people? Might as well discriminate against people you don't like. Look at how Romney has been treated because he is Mormon. Nothing wrong with that is there? Or if there is something wrong with discrimination, perhaps the initial ideas should be rethought.
  7. YouTube - The Three Bells
  8. I just ran across this post by Bill at Beliefnet, and I thought I would share it:
  9. I know what you mean. Let's just hope that Haliburton does not discover oil underneath this forum, or we could be subject to an invasion.
  10. How did CJCampbell get that moth to stay on his lip for the photo?
  11. Dueling quotes.
  12. Isn't the Church currently putting money into media efforts? It would be good to bring this to the public.
  13. The trouble is you are only reading what was written and not what Selek intepreted it to mean.
  14. I want to see that film. Here is a podcast featuring the film's authors, Darius Gray and Margaret Young, that is marvelous in terms of presenting a detailed and accurate portrayal of Blacks and the Priesthood. Darius Gray, Margaret Young and John Dehlin are excellent on the podcast. Toward the end, you can palpably understand their long forbearance and hope. It is long but well worth it. Blacks and the LDS Priesthood :)
  15. Winnie, I have heard of some women getting their tubes tied after the birth of so many children in such a short time. It is a much easier thing when they are already there in the hospital. Anyway, best wishes on sleep and Grandmother duties. :)
  16. Did you all know that many of the poor in the US are disabled and elderly?
  17. Gregorian-Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Masters of Chant V) YouTube - Gregorian-Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Masters of chant V
  18. Perhaps the Charter of Freedoms Act disallows self-righteousness, or else Canada needs all the good soldiers it can get. Anyway you look at it, those Maple Leaf guys seem to have a better policy on this one.
  19. As I understand it, he worked four hours for $5. Not too equitable for someone with oodles of money. My question is not so much the wisdom of this practice (it clearly was not wise) but whether this bordered more on compassion or exploitation. Clearly it is the Christian mandate to reach deep and help those in need. Finding the wisest way to do this is the tricky part. In Salt Lake, I have found that giving to the Salvation Army, the St. Vincent DePaul Center and Catholic Charities are all wise ways to help the poor. The LDS Church contributes to these charities, so I know that this approach must be wise.

  21. What about through the Grace of God?
  22. Strange duplicate from another planet, who came to this forum in the guise of this post...
  23. Perhaps he means they do not tell their news like Faux News. Still, why would the straight story be an enemy?
