I think that Jason is going to win. He is super cute and so is his little boy. DeAnna seems to like him a lot, but he needs to get more one on one time. So far his baggage doesn't seem to bother her. I don't think they will get engaged on the season finale but will date following the show.
Saying the pledge of allegiance calls to mind our national identity and our country's history. It is a way of remembering where we are from and what we stand for. The pledge of allegiance unites us as we recite it as children and hopefully, as adults, each time we look at our flag we are reminded of the many battles fought to keep us free! It does not imply that we idolize our country or our flag but it certainly makes clear that we are one nation under God.
I agree that spanking is okay as long as it is used as a corective tool and does not become abusive. A child needs to know that there will be discipline from their parents. Punishment should be consistent and a reason for the punishment should always be made clear to the child. If someone choses not to spank, great. Raising children is difficult and I respect anyone who finds a way to have well disciplined and much loved children.
I agree many of the necessary lessons that you learn, especially as a young person, in school have to do with discipline and commitment. Homework and projects not only allow the student to learn about the subject matter, but also teach responsibility which everyone needs to succeed in life.
I am a multitasker and in my car often for work. I use my cell phone all the time while driving and it does impede my driving capabilities. The worst is texting/bbming while driving. I should use hands free more, or just wait until I'm parked to use the phone!
I chose to believe in the Christian religion and therefore believe that my soul will live on after my body's physical death. The idea of something as final as death with nothing after is hard for me to wrap my head around. Also, it makes it much harder to cope with other's deaths (as I recently have) if you don't believe in some sort of afterlife. It is comforting to believe that we will be reunited one day. On a side note, sometimes I think about reincarnation.... it would be nice to stay on earth and live as something/someone else to get another perspective on life.
I don't have a need to keep up with exactly where everyone else is at every moment of the day. The people I really care about I can just call or text if I want to get in touch with them, and the rest of them I can just check their Facebook profile to see what they're up to. Also, BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) is a great way to get in touch with people when I'm on the go.
Country.... America's music!! It makes me feel like being outside, having a beer, enjoying the day. It is wholesome in comparison to most other genres out there and the lyrics usually have a good message. If you've never been to a country concert in the summer, you are definitely missing out!
No, this debate is staying true to it's title "Do YOU believe in God?". I gave you my belief. I clearly see that your's is opposing. Fine. If you would like to debate these other issues, you can start another debate. Obviously no one has the answers to your questions. If so, this would not be the most popular debate on the site!
Nothing and no one can prove or disprove the existence of a divine being. If so, we wouldn't need this debate. In my mind these are just two examples of things that could not happen by chance. I think there has to be something/one bigger than all of us who has the "master plan" and is responsible for all of creation.
