Dang it. I got all excited because I thought it said "GingREY". Just Newt. Meh.

I would......but I have no idea what you just said.

I wouldn't want to think we determine what level it's OK to sink to based on others failure to rise.

I agree. It was important to head off any attempts at a "shrine" to increase the view of him as martyr, but beyond that I do believe simple and tasteful treatment was called for. Of course I realize it's far more than he has or further, would have done, or any of us or ours. So why should we? Because we're better than that.

Yes, he is. Give him a big hug for me. <3

The funny things my little guys say when they are not trying to be funny my oldest son bending over backwards to be as respectful and helpful to his grandparents as he can overhearing one of my kids say a prayer for someone they thought could use it

Eh. Once you read the actual article, there is not much to get riled up about. Seems he's doing it to "protect" the US from being "blamed" for any of his actions. Whatever, it's a comic.

You either literally only saw 30 seconds of it or were watching the wrong wedding. The choir had many ethnicities in it, the general guests were very well mixed, and of course, there were a plethera of dignitaries from all over the place including many who looked to be from African and Middle Eastern nations. Did you see Posh? She could'a taken an eye out with that thing! LOL

Jus' sayin'

Just a side thought - Has a role call been done? Are we missing anybody from here?

I kinda thought they meant girls' SIZES 4 - 16? I seriously hope they wouldn't mean age.

Agreed. I can remember sitting at my kitchen table with my oldest trying to talk to him about the value of girls as human beings, not objects - and the 14 yr old across the street is laying her towel out by the edge of the road so she can sun in her bikini, and then walked up the road (right past my window) down to where the neighborhood boys were playing basketball. I heard something once that made a lot of sense. A psycologist said it is perfectly normal for teens to rebel form their parents teachings. They usually don't go far from the lines that are drawn, but they do cross the

Best thing to me, is out of ALL THAT they messed up, they managed to spell WEDNESDAY correctly - a word people mispell all the time! LOL Bie 1 get 1 free Ouarter N PouMd3r yikes.

I would go. Seeing the same movie is up to you, but if I saw a different one, I'd check on them discreetly once or twice. That's just me though.

"idiot" is a little too polite for this guy - but I can't type what I would call him either.

Yay you!

I was already for a "not in MY house" tyrade, but whatever it is, it is so bad it's censored from being shown here! (I am outside of US)

EXACTLY. First off, there is no support for the idea that just because something is used for punishment that the child will hate it under different circumstances. Example - sending a child to their room or to sit on their bed for punishment does not make them hate their room. Writing sentences for punishment is a completely differerent type of writing than writing for a report or journal writing, or the dozens of other types of writing this child may still come to love. Secondly, if the words are kept simple, there is no reason a child should have to be able to read them when they st

Obviously, the court disagrees with you. It's not the hiring and firing WITHOUT reason that is the concern, it's the firing WITH the wrong reasons that is illegal. You cannot fire someone because of their religious beliefs unless it interferes with the job they are doing or violates thier contract, that would be discrimination - which I am pretty sure is illegal even here in Georgia.

EXACTLY! You DO have that right!!! You can disagree with and opt out of any religious or social practice you wish to, without the threat of losing your job due to discrimination against those choices - and so can this employee.

IF you are right and IF she was headed that direction with it, then Belk, the boss, whoever, was stupid for jumping the gun. Refusing to do the job she was hired for IS legal grounds for termination and they wouldn't have had to pay a dime.

And yet, here you are - responding. Most people - including you - don't seem to be getting that it's NOT about the HAT'S religious affiliation or non-affiliation. It's about the EMPLOYEE'S right to not associate herself with any holiday celebration. That point has been made repeatedly and people are still harping on it - and you are accusing me of reading comprehension difficulties? Just because the Government acknowleddges a holiday with time off, does not obligate anyone to participate in it. Once again, it's the same right that allows you and I to say "no" to an employer's request t

Your post gives away why you are so insistant it's not the same. You simply don't like the JW religion, but liking it or not does not change the fact that they are a nationaly recognized religion, they don't "ban" holidays, they simply don't believe in participating in them, and under our constitution they have the right to do so - just like you have the right to refuse to wear a skimpy bikini. Participating in Christmas is NOT MANDATED by the government! ROFLMBO. I agree that if you worked at Hooters it would not be a big deal, but that's not the conversation, is it? It doesn't matter

I disagree. Asking a woman to remove a hijab or searching a woman in a burka would be considered saftey issues. That said, there are ways to go about that respectfully as well, but that's a whole other topic. There is no saftey issue in having to wer a Santa hat, it is simply a whim of the employer and not essential to the performance of the job. None of us should be subjected to do things we consider amoral at the whim of our employers.
