I've never posted a straight Vanity before. But I am sick and tired of this good conservative, generally religious site being overrun by people posting "I'd hit it", whenever a picture of a good-looking girl is displayed. It's demeaning, it's immoral, and I guess I'm just a prude but announcing to the world that you'd like to have sex with a woman based on her picture, like she was some object, hardly seems like the appropriate attitude on a conservative political site. But rather than post in response to any particular person, I figured I'd just vent here where everybody...

This week's (unofficial) topic: Open-Line Weekend. Anything that is FR-safe (for News and Chat) is fair game. Only thing is: let's not get at each other--this is (well, I hope it is), a place to put politics, issues, etc. aside... That said, let the games begin...

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Jason Pellegrino (an 8.2 on the attractiveness scale) says the problem with Internet dating services is not enough really hot-looking people. So he and a business partner have created HotEnough.org, a sort of online version of Studio 54, the exclusive '70s disco where gaining admission was a pitiless Darwinian exercise. HotEnough.org is for "fit, good-looking" people. Prospective members must submit pictures and must be rated an 8 or higher by people already in the club. Once they're in, they are permitted to e-mail other "hotties" for $9.95 a month. "It's definitely hard to get through that...

Unofficial Thread... I didn't see a thread this week, so for the time being, I thought I'd post a thread. This week's topic is going to be College And Anything Related to it.

Some things that would fit would include: -Your thoughts on college -College/Dorm Horror Stories -Spring Breaks -Greek life -Good/Bad classes -Value of College? -Activities -College Athletics [yes, this includes D-I football and March Madness...8^)] Anything goes here, though keep in mind we are a family-friendly site. Therefore, please keep it...

Next week is Valentine's Day which for some of us if we are single can be depressing on the other hand we do not have the dilemma will We buy the right bottle of perfume, wine or box of chocolates. Will we pick the right restaurant, movie or play. Instead of concentrating on the lack of a partner at the time of year lets look at the positives of our lives as singles. Places we can go, things we can do without having to negotiate with a partner. Some may have children or elderly parents which means you are restricted...

It's quotes weekend! What are your favorite quotes? Some of my favorites: "I see America, not in the setting sun of a black night of despair ahead of us, I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God. I see great days ahead, great days possible to men and women of will and vision." --Carl Sandburg "It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them." --Mark...
