    Graffiti on a church.

    Right, which is what Lizzie and I were agreeing about, those things have a religious meaning that is unknown to many that view it as a pop culture thing because it was probably introduced without religious meaning. As for the rest, I merely thought you were misunderstanding what I was stating...

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    You're right, it is like something in a movie. Like a serial killer picking up a hitchhiker. I dislike those power windows and locks as well. I was actually a bit sad, when I had to get a new car, to get a car with power windows. The crank lever windows and manual locks on my old car were just...

    Graffiti on a church.

    I am not sure where you are getting that I or anyone else here approves of defiling any place of worship. Nor do I understand why you think anyone here is being disrespectful, or arguing your right to an opinion. As for the Vulcan signs, etc, we are merely discussing things in pop culture...

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    I dislike it when everything in a car is automatic. I had to use my mother's car today, for which I was grateful, but I do not like driving her car. Everything is automatic and power controlled. Even the steering wheel and seat adjustments. Ugh!

    Graffiti on a church.

    Just so! I never knew that about Dr. Spock's V! Interesting, and I love learning something new. I do hate that a pentacle gets confused with Satanism. Of course that was the star of Texas, and people confuse pagans' pentacles as Satanic. Pagans may believe in the existence of evil, but not...

    Graffiti on a church.

    Well said! I am also glad you mentioned the hand gesture. Many people do not realize that is actually a sign to ward off the "evil eye," and also has Christian origins. In fact , Dio introduced it into the rock scene, having taken it from his Catholic grandmother.

    Graffiti on a church.

    That is awful! So sorry that happened! Not surprising of the ignorance behind such crimes. The one in Hawaii got a two-fer-one of moronic ideas, associating Satan with a Christian church and not knowing the actual definition of a liberal.

    Love that he was made to sit through church naked and cuffed! I agree, I see no reason in defiling any place of worship. It's distasteful and makes my stomach turn.

    My dream; a 1930s Lunchroom

    This is a great idea and I bet it will be charming! I wish I could visit it!

    Graffiti on a church.

    I agree! I remember it as a kid, and it still makes me tense if I think too closely on it, and it was literally food spooned so rapidly into my mouth I had to do the chipmunk thing. I do the re-offer plate thing for my boys too. I honestly thought, perhaps that article is either a) a joke or b)...

    I agree with it being kids that have lackadaisical parenting. Perhaps someone raised by the author of this "article?" http://www.babble.com/kid/child-development/damaging-kids-self-esteem/I can't help but share this, it sums up what is wrong with many parents of today.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I have heard about that and wondered, "Well, how are they going to give e a signature to a legal document?" I asked my 8 year old's teacher if they will be teaching it to him next year, so far it seems they will. I am prepared to teach my boys in any case.

    Oops, answered at the same time! So...Corvette Cotton or Linen?

    Graffiti on a church.

    I agree with this completely. This seems more childish vandalism for shock value. The Westboro Church is a perfect example of people that parade themselves as Christians, but seem anything but. And certainly, they do start up trouble. Just this evening, a friend was telling me how two weeks...

    Graffiti on a church.

    Who wants to change Christmas to Holiday? In my experience, there is Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukka, Happy Solstice/Blessed Yule, and Happy Holidays. Which makes sense since December is a collection of Holy Days. In fact, Christmas as it is celebrated today is a mix of different religions.

    Graffiti on a church.

    That is terrible. I hope they catch whoever did it and they start punishment with making them clean up graffiti all around town (church first if they catch them sooner).

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I agree. Why would one pass up work, especially at time and a half. If I remember correctly, when a limited amount of time and a half hours/overtime was available, workers with seniority got first dibs.

    Mohair velour Rosewood or Mahogany?

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    You beat me to it! :) I thought exactly the same as i read that scenario. The guy should've stood up for himself. They could have each gone to their respective parties or hit up both. Two people in a relationship, so why is only one person getting her way? Compromise. I am the same, unless...
