Gina maintains a 3.9 overall GPA and did very well on the first few philosophy class assignments, her grades in the philosophy course dropped significantly after the question of God’s existence and attributes became the focus of class discussion. Gina read the assigned materials and participated in class discussions, presenting traditional philosophical arguments on whether God exists and whether He possesses certain characteristics such as being all-knowing or all-good. However, Gina was unwilling to state that she would reconsider her personal religious beliefs on God’s nature and existence, and her grades suffered as a result.

Gina was posed with the difficult choice of either violating her religious beliefs by publicly declaring, “I am Gina. I am not free because I am determined” or being penalized by failing to receive extra points like her classmates.

Gina chose to adhere to her faith because she could not, in good conscience, make that statement.

Black Conservative Leader Boycotts NAACP

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 16:17:27 GMT

Peterson is founder and president of the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), a Los Angeles-based religious group that focuses on helping men fulfill their family responsibilities. Since 2003, his organization has led a boycott against the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which recently wrapped up its annual convention in Detroit. He says it is apparent that the liberal-leaning organization is not the influence it once was.

And the NAACP, says BOND's leader, has sold out the black community with its recent support of the Senate bill that would have given amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Had the bill become law, "it would have taken jobs and education, healthcare away from black Americans," says Peterson -- "[but] the NAACP doesn't care about that. That's why they're not working on the other issues in the black community, like crime and out-of-wedlock birth and abortion and issues that are destroying our community."

Planned Parenthood is ANTI_Choice

clipper's remarks: more info at the source- interesting.

Clip Source: www.onenewsnow.com

If choice mattered, politicians funded by Planned Parenthood would listen to parents. And parents have clearly set out what they want for their children

Nine out of 10 parents agree that being sexually abstinent is best for their child's health and future, with 8 in 10 strongly agreeing.

Eight out of 10 parents think it's important for their child to wait until they're married to have sex, with 6 in 10 strongly agreeing.

Eight out of 10 parents think sex education in public schools should place more emphasis on promoting abstinence vs. contraceptive use.

Two out of three parents believe that promoting alternatives to intercourse (such as showering together and mutual masturbation, which are presented in some comprehensive programs) encourages sexual activity.

Six out of 10 parents think more government funding should be given to abstinence education vs. comprehensive sex education. Only two out of 10 want more funding for comprehensive education.

Worms Are Fun!

WORMS ARE FUN! Recycling with Worms and Related Activities

by Seth Prezant

Don’t eat fried worms! They are much better alive!

Worms consume and recycle organic material. In this article you will see how easy it is to set up and maintain your own indoor family or classroom worm bin. It’s engaging, educational, fun, and yes…creepy and crawly!

Your children will discover how to keep, feed and maintain worms while having numerous (almost endless) related science projects throughout the summer and way into the school year.

Keeping a worm bin can strengthen children’s problem solving skills and scientific methodology practice (even with young children). The end result of having an indoor worm bin is harvesting the worm castings (the greatest natural fertilizer).

should we rinse after brushing our teeth?

clipper's remarks: I don't know. I might ask my kids to try it this way and see if it helps!

Aboriginal people take instructions literally. The children interpreted the instruction ‘brush your teeth and rinse and rinse your brush under the tap’ as meaning two, not three, instructions; first ‘brush your teeth’, next ‘and rinse and rinse your brush under the tap’. Children did not ‘brush your teeth’, then ‘and rinse (your mouth)’, then ‘and rinse your brush under the tap’. By not rinsing their mouths they left a coating of toothpaste ingredients on every surface in their mouths. The ingredients in the toothpaste were doing as intended; killing bacteria

are two year olds ACTUALLY terrible?

"A two year old who people refer to as a Terrible Two may need either more physical activity, more stimulating academic challenges or simply more 1-on-1 attention," said Jessica Collins, spokesperson for the school, "At Smarter Toddler we don't believe in the phrase Terrible Two's. What we do believe in is giving a child a combination of attention and special activities that help to keep their minds off of the need to begin what some would describe as bad behavior. Smarter Toddler does that by providing children with a warm, loving, fun environment that focuses on the artistic, cultural and social development of each child."
