No, they really don't on the level being discussed here, because they don't apply to the individual. An individual can eat whatever they like. A restaurant or school must meet certain standards in what they prepare and serve. I can walk over to my neighbor's and offer a dollar for a...
In addition to being mentally ill, the man possesses no sense of humor.
He demanded this be taken down:

Fortunately, others managed to preserve this work in all it's satirical glory, and I need say only this to Mr. Chick. If you can't take it, don't dish it...

If you truly want to see the sick depths that man can reach, look for the 'Lisa' tract . So bad that the outcry made him pull it from his site. Seriously, read at your own peril, the man is mentally ill.
Poor Rhonda was hungry. It had been a whole HOUR since the Treat-Bringer had provided scratch and tasty greens. Sure, there was layer ration in the coop, but who wants to be inside on a day like today? So poor, poor Rhonda had to suffer hunger in the warm sunshine. Finally, she could stand...
What also seems to amaze people is that I question things. I remember a while back someone posted to a forum this story about a reverend telling how a father (Christian) went on a boating trip with his son (Christian) and his son's best friend (not a Christian). As the story went, a storm...
The treat bringer left the cat-flap on the shed unlatched, and naturally, Thing 1 decided to make an escape attempt. She was able to get her head out, but not her shoulders. Unfortunately for her, she was then unable to get her head back in. Also unfortunately for her, the Food-Bringer has...
The hallmark of being an adult is simply accepting that there are consequences to your actions and you are responsible for dealing with those consequences.
That means the day you look your mom in the eye and tell her that she is wrong and will no longer be getting her way, you'd better be...

What surprises most religious (specifically Christian) people about me is that I have actually read the bible from cover to cover and know it better than most of them do, and am perfectly able to quote scripture right back at them. And the more they press, the less nice I am about...
Today Rhonda was immortalized in artwork:
I'm still getting the hang of crochet back, so this is pretty much as uncomplicated a pattern as they come. I should find a better one and do a larger version for the egg-stand.
If we cut down on the use of fossil fuels where they can be replaced by other options, we will be able to support the industries that cannot currently replace fossil fuels without having to engage in practices that severely damage the environment in order to get the fuels.
And at some point...

Define 'spiritual' as you mean it here, and I can answer your question. It's one of those words that have different meanings to different people. I've been called 'spiritual' and sometimes I think I am, and sometimes I think I'm not. I've been known to say things like 'this rock...

No, they really aren't. I actually know someone personally who was attacked while swimming with dolphins. To date, there is no documented case of a dolphin killing someone, but dolphins biting and dragging under the water, as well as ramming with force, are well documented. They are...
I've lived in very liberal and educated areas of the US, and I see them there as well. It's sad that there are people who actually believe this kind of stuff.

Random thought, I've never seen an octopus described as really smart. I know they're pretty clever, but then they have to be to get at their prey. Same as chimps with termites.
