I really don't agree with what was said here. Conservatives believe in social programs, we just don't put up with wasteful spending, and social programs are an easy channel for inflated budgets or...
The Catholic faith is not based on merits at all. It is a celebration of the liturgy of the word and the liturgy of the eucharist. In my 8 years as a Catholic there isn't any merits... at all. The...
The Pope is not Christ on Earth. The Pope is the authority over the church on Earth and that authority is given through Christ. Catholic is derived from Greek meaning "universal". She holds the...
You are close... we ask the saints to pray for us. Being raised protestant and coming into the Catholic church 8 years ago it took me a while to understand what that really meant. However, we do...
The Catholic bible has seven more books than the protestant bible. Yes, Exodus 20:4 is there, and this shrine is not what that scripture was about.
Men who took the vocation of priesthood and used it to abuse young children are predators. How is giving access to a woman’s body through marriage going to solve the problem? The church warns...
No... the hierarchy responsible are the bad actors... not the parishioners, not the priests who have done nothing wrong, not the deacons who have done nothing wrong and certainly not church teaching....
I disagree wholeheartedly with SB 608. It was discussed many times in the news that the wholesale system will change to a franchise-based system before the 2016 election that passed SQ 792. It was...
Actually, convenience stores and grocery stores will still be able to sell 6AM-2AM, seven days a week. This was covered a lot in the press. Liquor stores can open from 8AM to Midnight Monday thru...
That's a legislator that doesn't know calculus.
Our per capita personal income is ranked 28th and our gross domestic product is ranked 29th. I've mentioned this before on other threads when someone concludes that Oklahoma ranks at the bottom in...
On what punch is Arkansas beating Oklahoma? Arkansas has true dry counties where package sales are illegal. Oklahoma has no dry counties. Retail package sales is legal in all 77 counties, and...
No. When you leave downtown Dallas, when exiting onto northbound I-35, both Oklahoma City and Denton are signed. There are two more interstate signs that direct to Oklahoma City, once when you...
Not anymore. And adaniel is right. Even in the Houston area some of main thoroughfares are deplorable or very uneven. Even The Woodlands has a lot of uneven surfaces.
And choosing from competing electric utility companies in a deregulated state is any better? Living in Texas for 8 years has taught me that a deregulated system is no better than being regulated. ...
Part of the agreement for allowing the freeway to be built was to eliminate dusk to dawn illumination along the corridor. OKCRT is on the right track. One day I hope OKC can install high-mast dusk...
The best we can to as ambassadors of OKC is extend a welcoming hand to these people and make them feel at home when we do persuade them to visit.
That's a pretty lofty guarantee. Can you back that up?
I think once again people are placing too much emphasis on OKC meeting "big league" expectations. A city doesn't need a professional team or upscale amenities to be big league. Being home to a...
Soondoc, what makes you think the Convention Center and Hotel, the Boulevard, Park or Light Rail will not ever truly happening in our life time? All of the original MAPS projects were developed. ...
This is why I am not a big believer in culture shock, at least not for U.S. residents moving from one part of the country to another, or to different cities. Cultural adjustment? Yes. Culture...
You would be shocked cold by how many rural Oklahomans listen to hip-hop. I have met a lot of people in places like Elk City who aren't African American but pretend to be, and they listen to nothing...
It is worth noting that the per capita income ranking published on the Wikipedia page is per capita income by place of work. The actual per capita income of Oklahoma in 2012 was $39,006, ranking...
You enjoy it because you care about OKC unlike a few out-of-towners that move here and slam it hard until there is nothing left to be said. Many people who move to OKC love it, others don't. I...
