Gasp, atheists! We are here, we are godless, get over it. I am assuming that you still believe in Christianity. Based on this, I will quote from one of the stickies above: "Mormonism is a form of Christianity and religion so, for some people, recovery from mormonism will also include leaving Christianity or religion altogether. This does not mean that Christians or the discussion of C

Ah, so you take any "fleas, ticks, germs, parasites, and other nasties" your dog may have, spread them around the whole of the rest area and make the whole rest area yucky. Sorry to break it to you, "fleas, ticks, germs, parasites, and other nasties" exist outside the dog area. I know for a fact that some people do not use the dog area and do not clean up after their dog.

To me it sounds like some people that like to hang out at rest stops too much. I don't know ANYONE that would even pay so much attention to signs much less make it subject of conversation. But hey, if you want to hang with those obsessed with comparing rest stops across the country, more power to you, it takes all kinds I guess I was coming back from Evanston today and, because of this thread

Wow, speaking for so many other than yourself? Please prove this "Common Knowledge" claim. Anyone can CLAIM that such common knowledge exists, but proof? Seriously you have to resort to that sort of tactic? I travel a lot out of Utah and I know a lot of others that do the same and I know of NOBODY that comments on the state of the rest stop signage. So, PUT UP OR SHUT UP:

Making irrelevant statements does not, as you say "coming on strong" it is being irrelevant. Apologizing for something one does not know is also not coming on strong, it is polite to apologize. Judging by your response, I think I was way more correct in my assessment of what you were doing than I previously thought. Your bring forward very little (no) evidence to justify a claim of c

I have even seen a sign in a California rest stop instruction people to flush their toilet paper. One thing that I notice among the exmo community is that when they are in Utah, the LOOK for things to bash Utah with, and they find it. When they are not in Utah they are not looking and do not see it.

I am curious if we are seeing the actual rule. I know there is a rule about no smoking in or near the buildings, but I have never seen the whole rest area posted as such. Such rules are in place in many states.

Can something that is false be inherently good for society, not the other way around. Religions should have to prove their claim that they are inherently good, we should not have to disprove that claim. We do not need to prove "all cases" to claim religion evil, if it is evil 99.999999% of the time, I would say that it is an evil institution even though it was not evil in "a

Science is about accepting things as true ONLY WHEN there is enough empirical evidence to support the idea is true. When you accept, claim or believe things as true without empirical evidence that they are true, you are going against science.

Or it can be guided into creating what the hypnotist suggests. People should really watch the series "Brain Games" to find out just how much the brain creates and distorts reality in order to fill in the gaps.

Buddhism, faith that Buddha's teaching should be made into a religion in contradiction to Buddha"s teaching. “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” Clearly Buddha discredits the use of faith, which is what my point was about. I think Buddha is great, but to ma

There are people that have low bandwidth that do not use the sites you reference because of the high bandwidth.
