Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

One of the worst acts of negligence any parent can do is decide to have a child out of wedlock; it has been proven over and over how much worse the outcomes are.

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

When you lose a family member in tragic or violent ways, and you get to read false salacious (correctly used :) ) details in the paper, it changes the way you read things in the news. I understand the purpose of this thread, but I hope the family doesn't ever read it. I agree that this thread topic...

Re: Were they Christians? John 15:13
