Looks like the ghetto name train has ended, folks. It can't go any further than this.

I think S&M sorts still use those uniforms. Get yourself a dominatrix.

Bullying Discussion

because it's generating discussion, . They do between 1.5-9% better, on average. The model used tries to reduce the impact of competitive, motivated people choosing to play sports, and make it more of a random-selection, 'if any single person just randomly got thrown into a sports program, would they do better' type of equation.

College athletes are a whole other ballgame. Once you've made that cut, it is established you have some legit skill.

That being said, i'm just speaking from personal experience and won't pretend to have any data on it. Could very well be a regional thing. And it could very well be economic. Or it could mean I just knew too many exceptionally dumb jocks. I do not know.

It might come back. The Nazi is still in living memory. In another hundred years, however, it might be far enough back in history that people stop worrying about the negative notations of swastikas. Or sharply dressed military's for that matter.

Any Mormons(LDS) out there?

Hhhmm....Well for the first paragraph, the things you talk about I have only heard stories of and they aren't well off, those are personal decisions. We are just like any religion, that we are all individual and control our own decisions. There aren't that we have many people like that in our religion, and that all religions do have people who do that. We teach from a young age that that type of acting can destroy lives or/and lead to no good.In the second, yes do have "stricter" rules for media, and if parents are monitoring their children's television watching, which I have never met another Mormon family with kids who don't have a T.V., that is a family decisions. We are taught from a young age that we should go to Church every Sunday, which comes from one of The Ten Commandments (Yes, we're Christian.), and we don't do much spending on Sundays. And it is more of a personal decision whether or not you like to talk about religion or politics and that there isn't a majority that do like to talk about those topics, I personally do, and those who don't. It's all personal, you wouldn't judge an a country based on one bad person or act, why would you do that to a religion. (I am not saying that you are doing that, I am just putting it out there for people to think about.)Anyone have anymore questions? I am happy to answer them.

Ok, one thing i've always been curious about...

How seriously do you guys take the Book of Mormon?

Armenia loves its five Jews.

"The Herberty Goat Presents: The Five Jews! Starring: Jews!"

We don't have anything against using technology, so long as we don't look up porn..., but that's not different from most people. @villageidiotx What do you mean by "corduroy skirt and educational programming type"?(Just want to clear up any misconceptions.)

Sincerely socially conservative, family values sorts?

When it comes to social conservatives, you have those kinds who support socially conservative and quack about being religious, but they spend their weekends partying and drinking and hooking up. They would be the insincere social conservatives, and they are usually loud-mouthed and stupid about it.

And then you have the corduroy skirt type as I mentioned before, who are socially conservative and they also live like it too. They monitor their kids television (if they even have a television) and go to church on sundays and oftentimes homeschool, and they are usually sweet people who are very nice to talk to so long as you don't bring up politics or religion.

I don't think we can accommodate an Israel.

A lot of Israel's history requires British intervention and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The problem is, the Ottoman Empire collapsed just two weeks before where the RP is now. We also have well and established that Palestine primarily Arab, and that the movement to wrest it free from the Ottoman Empire was likewise primarily Arab.

Now, would there be Jews in this newly freed Palestine? Of course. Could there be Zionists? Maybe. They just wouldn't be a political majority.
