| I'd strongly advise that you learn about entrepreneurship. There's a very different mindset that, if you are going to ultimately be successful you'll need to adopt. Business in and of itself is a learned skill, comprised of many smaller skills. Some of it you might know, but others you will have to ... |

| I'm talking about in general. Christianity is not a unified entity and hasn't been for over a thousand years, if ever. What you're referring to is one of the upswings I mentioned, however that's still in the context of a massive overall decline in political and social power in most Western countrie... |

| Following up on an earlier post, wherein I outlined a rather embarassing outing with a friend, that ended with me asking (and being rejected) to kiss her, I vowed I was through with dating, and I've been working ever since then, on sticking to that goal. I've quit contacting her, deleted all my dat... |

Man I don't think I did see it unfortunately, but I sure wish I did.  Not sure if it would beat R.O.T.O.R. for the title of worst movie ever though. |

| In the UK, no. However, in the U.S. and Australia, those sorts of accusations are common. Christian fundamentalism began in the U.S. (early 20th century), and Australia became its second home. No. Christian fundamentalism had its day 500 years ago when they used to be burn people at the stake for n... |

Here was one I found recently:
R.O.T.O.R. - To Judge and Execute
