I must say that on my latest lurk-see at that other forum, it was interesting to note that people were quite clearly being told to not express their feelings, even in non-political tones, about the election yesterday. Nine posts to "The Sky Is Falling!" thread, of which three were not ev...

I'm so excited! It is almost like being on the Price is Right and having Rod Roddy call out "Sparky! Come on Down! You're the next contestant on..." I had to do a double take when I saw the number of members had jumped from 48 to 49. Okay, so I know nothing of this person....

What is the biggest problem in our public schools? Why do you think that is? How would you fix it?

I wanted to get some opinions on the history of Christopher Columbus. I'm not looking for a debate or anything. I think it is understood that Christopher Columbus had many flaws in his actions, some of them attributable to the time he lived and his "employers". I've done some reading o...

There is a growing movement to eliminate homework. There are people who say that it actually has a negative effect on learning. I can see truth on both sides. I think that kids burn out from too much w...

I know not all of you are BYU fans, but do consider checking this out and voting as often as your circumstance permits for Jessica Bingham so she can make it to the Finals of this contest. She not only represents BYU, but the MWC as well, yeah verily, she doth represent all schools and conferences w...

I received a call yesterday from an old high school buddy of mine, we ran cross country together. He berated me for missing the 25th year high school anniversary (everyone had a good time). And while such things are nice, I frankly don't have the time to get away. Bryan was on the decorat...

Okay, I know that there are some homeschoolers on this board, and I am not posting this to automatically offend you. Please take a moment to put on your thickest skin. I find myself annoyed by a certain homeschooling family I know. In conversations with them, the topic of education nearly always c...

Arrr, mateys, International Talk Like a Pirate Day is almost upon us! And I'll be keelhauled before I let such an important holiday slip by without notice on this board! Arrrr! Th'day is Sept. 19th. I expect all ye scurvy scallywags to help celebrate!

Sorry, Ray, but I ordered Amazon's last copy of Bean's Song. Now you'll have the extra work of sending them more copies. And no one will be able to buy them from Amazon in the meantime! It's all part of my evil plan to make the book unavailable to anyone. I would have ordered it from your website (I assume...

Sorry to be dense. I didn't want to interject this into another thread, so I'm asking here. When I quote something, it just indents the text. Cat Herder, for example, gets the lines around the quote, with the He Said: thingy. Are you manually typing that extra stuff in? If so, how do you...

Hey Bok, since you're the new moderator here, I thought I'd post a congratulatory note, and (to give this an LDS spin) point out that as it says in the scriptures it states, "Wickedness never was happiness" so... as a moderator you should strive hard not to be wicked.

I'd like to suggest some books that I think very accurately inform the reader of our "awful situation", how we got there, who is responsible, and where it is leading us. I'll lead off with my favourite books by LDS authors, some more prominent than others, but all, I believe, accurate a...

This is a spin-off from the discussion on caffeine. If a substance otherwise prohibited by the WoW has beneficial medical effects, is it better to use the natural albeit WoW prohibited substance, or a synthesized version that is normally prescribed by modern medicine? An example might be usin...

So, what are you and your family planning to do for Labor Day (or have already done, depending on when you read this post). We're going to have a barbeque on Saturday, and do a picnic on Monday. We don't have a lot of means right now to go out and do exciting stuff. But even those two activities will make it...
