  last weekend i was rooting for dallas cowboys to defeat the greebay packers.

  this weekend i will most certainly be rooting for the packers to win against the red skins.

  how many of you gave up a college scholarship to appear "spiritual"?

  jt's thread about "homegrown lawyers" and the wtbs willingly sending certain ones to college started me thinking about that question.

  i know i for one, relinquished that scholarship to show how "spiritual" i was at 18. .

  How far would (do) you go for your principals?

  by SpiceItUp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  would you stand up and uphold your principals no matter what the cost or outcome?

  would you pick and choose your battles deciding which really are the most important (to you) and letting some of your principals get battered in the process?

  right now i have 2 scenarios where my principals are at stake.

  Working on a consensus... an example

  by Phantom Stranger in

  over the last two days, i participated in two threads about the terror attack in spain.

  while my motive in participating was to introduce a moderating influence (and i did start out by agreeing with yeru!

  ), in the end i became a part of the problem - reacting to name-calling, vicious verbal attacks, and general statements that may or may not have been aimed at me.
