I have to say that I think the man is incredibly sexy.... And as far as his music.... The intensity, the emotion, the words…it all comes together in a way that is so enjoyable and wonderful, so rich and captivating. It's all consuming for me. I told my husband, the only "other man" he nee...

I'm curious, and I submit this because I just don't know the answer. Does anyone know the statistics associated with pedophilia in the general population, normalizing for socioeconomic class and culture. The presumption is (and it may very well be valid and documented for all I know) is that the in...

(I like ELO too!) Some of the first records I ever listened to were of course Donny Osmond, Bobby Sherman, David Essex and David Cassidy. I'm not too embarrassed about those because I was like 10 years old. But here's a few that make me want to curl up and die........Helen Reddy, Chicago, Neil Sedak...

But Cope...there's such a thing as forgiveness . I don't mean use that as an excuse, but we are human. I think the concepts of forgiveness and redemption and hope along with using one's "individual conscience" totally embraces what the whole (Catholic) religious existance is about. If you ...

Well said, Pophead.......and to some extent, you too Cope. I was raised in an Italian/Catholic household and I am a practicing Roman Catholic. My four children also go to Catholic schools, although that's more because of my disgust with our public school system than my concern for them getting a Cat...

Otis~I was going to say this privately, but there's really no reason to.

I just wanted to say how kind and eloquent your last post was. It was mature and respectful and I'm sure it was appreciated by anyone who cared about the Pope. (I, being one of them.)

Truthfully, I was shocked to read SLL comments, but I don't deny him the right to express them. What I have a problem with is people who insist that they have the right to say whatever's on their mind, completely devoid of tact or regard for anyone else except themselves. I certainly do believe in t...

So, do you have a Living Will?

When I go I want to go quietly in my sleep like my grandfather, not like the screaming and yelling passenger in his car. Oh, Bamboo !!! :lol: I'm very sad (and kind of scared) to see the pope leave us. His passing at this particular time (w/Terri Schiavo) is so ironic. I think he's showing us and t...
