    son moving out in a few months, so now what?

    The last of the kids is leaving soon which would leave me - unless I get a pet - without any other body in my house since I'm divorced. I was wondering how anybody else who has gone through that felt. Were they overjoyed or sad or what? In a way it's great that I'd have the whole house to...

    Hard to find a date. I've had two since my divorce and one relationship out of that. Not many choices out there. Tried Pof.com (plenty of fish) and okcupid.com and found one date out of it that lasted one day and that's it. I could tell she wasn't into me right away. I've sent plenty of...

    theistic evolution - don't try this at home

    There’s young-earth creationists and there’s die hard evolutionists. Then there’s theistic evolutionists who try to have their cake and eat it too. They think you can believe in two contradictory things at once. I’ve read a bit of TE and I’ve come to the conclusion that you can’t and that in the...

    do you get to an age where you just give up?

    As I meet people out socially and see other women, I'm wondering if people, at some point, don't really want someone of the opposite sex in their life romantically. Because they've been single so long and have their own ways of doing things that might be threatened by someone else being in their...

    liberalism as a modern religious movement

    Having done an essay on the religious origins of belief in evolution, I suspected that same type of opinion of evolution would also apply generally to liberalism. I tabled that thought for a few years until it recently came back to me because of the general state of America and recent political...

    why liberals just kinda like Islam

    I, like other conservatives, have often wondered why some, but not all, liberals feel apologetic toward Islam. Despite the numerous Muslims that commit atrocities in the name of their beliefs, that Islam beliefs might be evil is never accepted and is always denied. It's just moderate Muslims...

    Why can't the Democrats win? I found video from Thomas Frank who says Democrats are no longer for the working class but special interests. I find this has a tint of truth.

    the death of Europe

    through various means I ran into Douglas Murray's new book The Strange Death of Europe. What he means by "death" is the loss of Europe's unique culture in that the culture is now becoming something other than what it has traditionally been. I read only a portion of it on books.google.com but...

    there's been some talk on the net about single payer health care where the government just covers everybody. However, I found two noteworthy "skeptical" articles on it. First from hotair at http://hotair.com/…/will-ca-dems-go-full-tilt-single-payer…/ and second from National Review at...
