Cherokee: for future reference, a Corporate Lodging card is a lifesaver in an emergency, especially if you don't want to pay for the room right away. [The hotel bills Corp Lodging, who will then deduct it from your bank acct a few days later - gives you a chance to make sure the money is there.]...

It seems that PFJ was deliberately cheating "less sophisticated" customers [trucking companies] of their fuel rebates, trusting it wouldn't be noticed. Wonder if the trucking companies will ever get reimbursed for the money, or whether the government will give the crooked corporation a slap on...

If making perfectly logical assumptions is causing trouble, just call me Cinderella, cause the shoe fits. ;)

I'm reasonably sure that he feels better about my civil rights than I feel about his [illegal] kill list. I don't admire or approve of everything he has done, but he is nowhere near the devil incarnate that some believe, is what I'm saying.

Wait - if I don't see them because they're normally buried in the back pages of the newspaper, then where are you seeing them? Because I read every page, [except sports, and once in awhile, I read that too]. I disagree about there being 'little uproar' over anything anti religion these days -...

The Feds have long required me [and you and every commercial driver] to produce their logbook upon request, which certainly makes me feel 'guilty until proven otherwise', so what's the difference? The Feds have long required people to purchase some sort of funeral/cremation/burial 'product'...

Tis interesting indeed, that Obama threatened to veto it "unless it creates stronger protections of citizens' privacy rights". Odd thing for the man who many claim is trying to eliminate all our civil rights to say....

Kenzie, my beloved goofball Boston Terrier/Pug, died 2 years ago, but her name remains on the passenger door, because she was irreplaceable. Dogs are like that.

If it isn't logical to infer that your puzzlement over "how a person of your age has not totally formed their entire set of core beliefs" is because of the admission of agnosticism you quoted in your post, combined with the fact that religious beliefs are the heart of the thread, then we have...

Citations? Defacing property is a youth [usually, though not always, gang related] crime, and not something that rates much as 'news'. Graffiti just doesn't rate headlines, or even much notice, unless it's particularly striking in some way. Disrupting Catholic services, though? That's something...

No. However, it was the logical implication of your words in post #131, to which Turtle responded. You didn't say he misunderstood, so why are you asking me?

Um - if there are no suspects, how does the writer justify the statement that the vandals were gay? If it's because of the scrawled comment "God is gay", that's pretty clear evidence that the writer doesn't know the first thing about the culture of youth, which is also the culture of idiots who...

The idea that core beliefs can only come from religious convictions is pretty good for the religious leaders, but it's wrong. I know a lot of atheists and agnostics, every one of whom has strong core beliefs, including myself. Also self serving is the idea that sex is only for procreation, and...

I can't believe the outrage over a teacher getting fired for breaking the rules - if he'd responded to a question about sex by showing the kid photos & giving him a condom, would the reaction be the same? Even though the whole zero tolerance thing can get stupid, the rules exist for a reason...

As Xiggi noted, one can form an educated opinion long before becoming a member, and it would be smart of us to pay attention to those opinions. Misquoting them to offer a snide response is precisely the sort of thing that discourages people from asking for advice, ya know? It's one thing to be...

Leave plenty of drive time, Boss - 75 around Dayton is a construction nightmare.

Jenn: some of what makes one carrier 'better' than another is how well they utilize the equipment you have [reefer, liftgate], or the credentials [Hazmat, FAST card], and some is how well they fit your style: lots of support [or micromanaging, depending on your point of view, lol], or very...

It is extremely sad - a tragedy, in fact. Whether it was aimed at "this country" [the implication being a grudge against the US] or not is still unknown, but either way, it's pretty bad. Senseless violence aimed at innocents makes people angry, and they deal with anger in different ways. I'm...

Criminalize guns, and only criminals will have guns. Criminalize abortion, and only criminals will perform abortions. Women will still have them, though. :(
