A vitamin B bomber (loads of all the Bs (1, 6, 12)) along with that vitamin C will help a hangover, but it’s probably best to take it before you go to bed with your buzz/drunk on so it has time...

Lee Hall’s Capers in the Churchyard is all the rage now in AR, and from what I’ve heard and read about it, for very good reason. I’ll be reading it in the next two weeks. I...

Thanks for proving my point on your thoughtful and intelligent posts, nauthiz.

I’ll stop publicly scolding the mods (which is also inappropriate) and we’ll all call it even and get over it.

I would say to anyone with less than 50 or even 100 posts, however, that they are better off avoiding a confrontational attitude until settling in a little and showing some initial friendliness. ...

Yep, this whole thing about compassion came up in response to your stated opinion that the compassion argument is a weak one.

As far as why anyone would behave morally in *any* situation, I think...
