  1. Just got home to find that my next door neighbor has been hauling in junk autos and generally transforming his property into what can only be described as a Red Neck Junk Yard. I wasn't home more than a couple hours and three separate "concerned neighbors" visited me and asked that I join in with them to sign a petition calling for the county commissioner to enact variances for our subdivision to force him to clean it up and if needed to join in legal action against my neighbor to prevent the community property values from being adversely affected. The bible states "to love thy neighbor" and I wasn't planning on selling my property any time soon, and I'm never here anyway. What should I do?


  2. I missed this thread when it was a hot topic.  But I still think it's one I'd like to respond to.  For I don't believe many understand the implications of using this term when they declare their love for someone, including relatives.  Yes, there are different kinds of love....the love a parent is suppose to have for a child; the love siblings and other relatives are supposed to have for each other.....My understanding of love is that it is should be unconditional, not controlling.....and yet I have seen parents dis-own children who are gay, or have babies out of wedlock, or even who don't live up to their expectations.......In addition love means accepting imperfections, and health changes.  I have known husbands to leave their wives becasue they could not accept them after a mastectomy, or after they had been victims of rape.  I have known husbands and wives to be unfaithful and to justify this behavior saying, "it really didn't mean anything.".........One of the most powerful poems I have ever read about love is written in a book called "The Prophet.".......a verse form it reads...."think not that you can direct the course of love, for love if it finds you worthy, directs your course.......To me this means, if you say you love someone, prepare yourself for almost anything......For love reflects  this life we live.  If you can't handle all of the imperfections of this life stay away from love......For when you say "I love you to anyone".......you are saying, I am there for you......whether it is your child, your friend, your lover, spouse....whoever......you are also saying, I will not hurt or abuse you intentionally,  I accept you regardless, I will forgive your imperfections, I will be there for you during difficult times.....in other words, you can count on me.........I find especially when there is romantic love, couples get so caught up in the intimate aspects, that they forget that there is more to life than the intimacy. In fact much of their love is shallow and doesn't go far beyond the physical........if you ask them why they love the person....they can't tell you very much.........I know I'm writing too much here.......but LOVE  is a very powerful word.  It has a beautiful meaning.  And yet, I find some take it lightly; don't understand it, abuse it and use it as a means of  control.

    i agree almost word for word.

  4. i was thinking about a show that would talk about the issue of slavery..and the pre-federation(Archer's moral stance on the issue) and of course the ratings would be great....maybe they could intercept a slave ship, rescue a couple-they could get the male members of the crew excited and t'pol jealous and have to deside what to do...sort of a Armastad show
