Agree. I think that predicting the future of the economy is a fool’s game. If I wake up every day and say “today is the day the economy will crash.” I’ll eventually be right. If I also say “Today is the day I’m going to die.” every day, eventually I’ll be right about that too. Neither statement makes me a prophet.

While I basically agree with you, I think we’re in the minority. At the end of the day voters care about guns, LGBT issues, and abortion rights-but they care much deeper about feeding their families and retirement. If the economy is lousy in November, it generally means the voters are going to “throw the bums out.”

that, and from what little I know Israel is a secular state with a large non-Jewish or “Jewish in name only” population. The citizens probably care more about not getting blown up or shot more than not fighting back on the sabbath.

I think this discussion has been interesting. Hope you stick around.

Thanks.

Is there official church teaching on it today?

LadyGator and I are watching high brow, intellectual shows lately. Like My Strange Addiction and 90 Day Fiancee.

I totally agree with you that toxic masculinity exists, but it’s more silly than destructive. Andrew Tate and his followers are too ridiculous to be taken seriously.

I didn’t know the guy that well, but on the surface based on appearances he was a very nice guy. He was a bishop.

No worries. I see it the same way I always did. It’s a cliche and old people use to whine about young people and wash their hands of any accountability that they have. It reminds me of people who are divorced four times, look in the mirror, pat themselves on the back and say “I did nothing wrong. Everyone else is a narcissist but me.”

Same. I’ve only met one openly liberal faithful LDS. A former democratic congressmen. I’ve never met an LGBT active member.

Sure, no argument there. But if a majority young people do that, then how they were taught was wrong. Something failed on the older generation side. After all, if every student fails a test, it’s a problem with the teacher.

I’m lost. I think young people get a bad reputation for no reason. Older generations also are too dense to see that if young people are that corrupt, then maybe how they were raised might have something to do with it. Also, our own generation had immorality too. Notice that I don’t approve of immorality, but I don’t approve of generation bashing either.

Do you really think most of the “younger generation” are that immoral? 90% of the young kids I know are decent and moral. Not to mention, our generation wasn’t exactly full of virgins and halos. In our Catholic high school we had STD and pregnancy scares every month. Not being funny, being serious.

Ahh. Thanks!

Thanks.

My question is ignorant and I apologize for it, but is the family proclamation also considered revelation?

From what I’ve heard, Seattle makes Gotham City look sunny.

Sadly, for the first time in history you and I are on the same side in sports. I’m hoping Purdue pulls it off. It’ll be an incredible comeback. Purdue got slapped in the mouth when they lost to 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson last year. If they win this, and I hope they do, it’ll be one of the best comebacks in sports history.

couldn’t agree more.

I’m not sure anyone is worried about it. It’s more interesting than worrisome.

Nevermind

Correct. I’ve also heard of studies that say women regret breakups more than men do, but I don’t know how accurate that is.

I think most men would be okay with a FWB arrangement but to me the woman is basically a prostitute charging how much her rent is for her services. Not the qualities most look for in friendship

To be fair, most of the single women I know (uh, three of them. I don’t have many single women friends) wouldn’t put up with being friends with benefits, and certainly would not be a mistress to a married man. So I don’t think it’s common, especially out of your college years.
