Re: Alternative to Mint?
Billguard also looks like a very useful app, but it doesn't do expense tracking (apparently), only monitors for potential fraudulent charges. And neither service is free. WiseOne, This is some additional info about Billguard. The iPhone App is more functional than the desktop version. The App do...

Re: Figuring Out Religion
Is Reality Secular? What are the roots and assumptions of secularism and why does this system of belief maintain such a stronghold in Western culture? Why are the other worldviews competing for our acceptance and how are we to know which one is true? On this program, Michael Horton will be speaking...

Re: Dictatorship Day simulation (in a 6th grade classroom)
NB I don't like many/most of the right's social views. This, in a nutshell, is the problem with the Republican Party. The social views of mainstream America are moving further to the left with each passing day. As long as the Rs continue to cling to their far-right social agenda, it will become inc...

Re: Anarchist/Statist Union: realistic, libertarian solutions to the USA's problems
Taxes - When you tax something, you discourage it; why do we tax earning income and creating jobs!? These are the things we want most! How to fix it: - If we repealed income, sales, and corporate taxes, we could incentivize greater positive economic activity. - If anything should be taxed, it shoul...

Re: HBR: What you eat affects your productivity
What a weird article. They missed the completely obvious. Don't eat carbs. Nothing I eat ever turns to glucose. My blood sugar stays constant whether I eat three meals a day or three meals a week. No ups and downs. Sip on coffee and wine until you smell some meat on a grill somewhere and then w...

Re: Muslim Terrorist Hatchet Attack On NY Police
We had better stock up on hatchets before the "hatchet control" mantra begins. Next up: knives and forks. It is always better to ban the tool than go after deviant behavior.

Re: Doctors Tell All - And It's Bad

Re: Obama Prepares To Distribute 34 Million Green Cards To Illegals
Benko, Alright... Let's leave the semantics aside, shall we? Why would a socialist engage in activities that he believes will have marginal benefits to the safety and stability of a country if he desires to make it marginally less stable and safe? Perhaps the issue is that labeling people, althoug...

That is, of course, your opinion.

Re: Figuring Out Religion
Can you imagine what this world would be like if everybody believed in Jesus? Now, many of you who have been brought to faith in Jesus as your Savior can probably think of nothing better than to have everyone believe the same. Because we believe as we do, it is difficult for us to understand why the...
