  • Ancient Greek Pederasty does not support Gay Marriage!

    Homosexuals would do well to avoid any association with the traditions of ancient Greece, especially since many on the ''traditional values'' side already believe that homosexuals are sexual predators who prey on children and want to seduce them into a same-sex lifestyle, which seems very similar to the pederasty practices of teachers in ancient ...

  • Recession's end? Not by a long shot.

    One could go into a list of factors that mean the recession won't end soon (primarily the government will need to finance the budget to pay for the wars, financial aid packages, finance the national debt, healthcare and so on). It is a question of how to fairly distribute the burden of paying the cost. For me, the recession isn't over until I have ...

  • Debt & Tithing

    Dear Readers and Fellow Commentators: First, I would like to say that one of the best quotes I have ever heard was this, ''The best thing you can do for the poor is NOT to become one of them.'' How can we help the poor if we are yoked with heavy amounts of debt and the never ending credit card fees? The word of God says that my burden is easy ...

  • My Son is Better Than Me...Really?

    Is it possible that the negative feelings you can't quite define don't stem from your son being better than you at playing catch? He is nine years old and he seemed to be speaking to you, his adult mother, as if he were superior to you and irritated about it. A one word descriptor for the way he spoke to you as described in your article is ...

  • Not a good idea...

    I often have the same guilt about having so much more than my younger brothers and have often ended up ''loaning'' money (which all parties know won't be repaid), paying electric bills, paying rent, etc. It has resulted in neither of my brothers having any concept of how to handle money. They seem to constantly be in crisis mode even when they ...

  • Some Siblings Are Just Greedy

    I know a family which displays of both sides of the coin. The give-you-the-shirt-off-their-back type, and the so-greedy-they-make-Scrooge-look-open-handed type actually shared the same parents. When the father began to hand out money to help those of his kids who were struggling, the other child started grousing about others getting ''more than ...

  • My Brother's and Sister's Handler

    So what is the column trying to say? Is a family entitled to share in the new found wealth of one member because it's the right thing to do? But don't families start out even enough, and one can understand that accident or illness can cause massive financial damage, and suppose a sibling lacks wealth because of a life spent making poor choices. ...

  • Groom's family and bridal party

    The tradition is that the bride choose at least one of the groom's sisters, usually the one closest to her in age, as a bridesmaid, and the groom chooses one of the bride's brothers as a groomsman. If the bride has no sisters, or the groom no brothers, an effort is made to find a personally close cousin that will fill the role. The idea is to ...

  • Arnold IV

    Please do not do the the IV name with the nickname. I know someone that is a V and HATES the cute little nickname that has also been passed down from gereration to generation. He was teased unmercifully in school about it and neither parent had a clue (supposedly). Once he got older he asked that they not use it (he actually would have ...
