Hello to everyone here at AoM. I am John R. Manard, and I am from Joplin Missouri (Yeah, that town that made the news by getting annhilated last year). I am 25 years old, not yet married, and I work…Continue

J. R. Manard replied to Nick's discussion How long does one wait?"Just ask her out already. Who cares if she *might* think you are just going from girl to girl. You're putting words in her mouth without giving her the chance to make her own judgement about whether or not she would like to date you. Just do…"
J. R. Manard replied to JonEdanger's discussion Yet Another School Shooting (Gun Control Thread) in the group The Great Debate"Yeah...I think those of us from MO will be laughing about this for a while. Not only will it not pass in a Republican controlled House, but there's no way 1/10th of us would turn in our "assault" weapons. However, since you did…"
J. R. Manard replied to Derek's discussion When did not returning an email become appropriate?"Are you wasting time with very lengthy e-mails? If so, expect to be ignored.
Example: I work in RE Development/Invesment. An architect contacted me via e-mail yesterday looking for work. The only relevant information in the whole…"
J. R. Manard replied to Dave's discussion For those of you who wear cowboy boots, how many pairs do you own?"I own 2 pairs. I intend to up it to 3, 4 at most.
1 pair of brown cowboy boots for working outside. 1 pair of black boots that I keep polished to wear with my office attire. I intend to add a nice pair of brown boots to wear on days I just wear…"
J. R. Manard replied to Matthew J Dorry's discussion How to deal with a bossy fast food manager who seems to target you?"+1
And with that, I recant my earlier position, in favor of this one (or multiple positions as the case may be)"
J. R. Manard replied to Matthew J Dorry's discussion How to deal with a bossy fast food manager who seems to target you?"You definitely made that post too long. Welcome to the world of working for minimum wage. No matter what you do or where you go, this is the manager you will inevitably deal with. Maybe it's a Shift Lead, an Assistant Manager, a Store Manager,…"
J. R. Manard replied to JonEdanger's discussion Yet Another School Shooting (Gun Control Thread) in the group The Great Debate"Interesting Information Liam, but I would think we aren't just posing a difference in training, but a difference in situation. In most shootouts involving police that I have seen, the criminal takes cover, and fires when opportune. The police…"
J. R. Manard replied to Jonathan Gerber's discussion Falkland Islands: Brits' views?""Also, there is no way the British Merchant Navy can support a campaign like they did in the last conflict. We don't have the tonnage and we don't have the crews."
Indeed, I think if Argentina goes for it, the…"
J. R. Manard replied to Will's discussion What motivates your political action and opinion in the group The Great Debate"My thoughts on politics? I have a simple philosophy: do what you want so long as you harm no one; the man who initiates the exertion of force against another is always in the wrong. With that in mind, one word describes the politics I support,…"
J. R. Manard replied to James Francis Trotier's discussion Reconciling Faith in a Relationship"It's a hard place to be, and no fun, but I would say it is best to let this one go. I was raised Catholic, and am an atheist now. I have dated women who were of various faiths, and ones who were atheists, and rarely did this issue come up. When…"
J. R. Manard replied to Rebekah's discussion If your wife passed away, would you remarry?"I am not married, but I am engaged. It is likely, that in time, I would remarry. My fiance and I both have discussed this before, and both of us expected the other to resume dating at some point.
Personally, if my fiance were to die soon, I would…"
J. R. Manard replied to Clint Connolly's discussion AND THE WOMEN WILL RULE in the group The Great Debate"Of course, I am oversimplifying Euthyphron to the extreme. Don't want to post the whole dialogue. I'm already in danger of this discussion being tl;dr"
J. R. Manard replied to Clint Connolly's discussion AND THE WOMEN WILL RULE in the group The Great Debate"It makes a great starting point for separating good from the divine. It isn't the end of the discussion.
It's been years, bur IIRC Euthyphron deals with piety before the gods. E claims to be pious, S asks him what piety is. E says whatever…"
J. R. Manard replied to Clint Connolly's discussion AND THE WOMEN WILL RULE in the group The Great Debate"1. That is a philosophical question we can write volumes on. Animal, yes. Are we more? Arguably yes or no. Why haven't we moved towards eugenics? We have. It goes in and out of style amongst the intellectuals.
2. Universities have no need to…"
J. R. Manard replied to AdamR's discussion Result of a Secession in the group The Great Debate"Lol! If they actually had the naval projection. China can't even expect to invade Taiwan successfully, let alone get here. I will admit that this thought was very amusing. And it brings up the completely valid issue of currency. Who prints the…"

5 fascinating reasons cockroaches will outlive us all
Ah, cockroaches. The scummy, skittering, pesky little pests that somehow manage to vanish whenever you flick on the bathroom light. Like Mother Nature's little Batmans. Part of what makes them so hard to control is their resiliency, which is something of a biological marvel. Here are five reasons the humble roach will outlive us all:1.

You are not listening. Any claim anywhere by anyone can be examined. I'm simply saying, examine the claims of Jesus, the accounts of those who saw, heard and…"
