A Shrink is just what they need.
Facts should be taskmasters, and there is no exemption for fiction
Historical novelists must not manipulate an audience's veneration for the truth with their phoney verisimilitude
A place for everything, and everything in its place. This is a fun diversion. I'm ashamed of my result some average 60 miles off. I know I'll be taking a good map if I leave the Western United States.
Kneel don't kneel I'm never surprised at how damn funny people are who substitute superstition and faith for reason. They actually believe the authority figures they esteem, well usually. This is ROFLMAO funny.
A Ban on Kneeling? Some Catholics Won't Stand for It
Kneeling "is clearly rebellion, grave disobedience and mortal sin," Father Martin Tran, pastor at St. Mary's by the Sea, told his flock in a recent church bulletin. The Diocese of Orange backs Tran's anti-kneeling edict.Since at least the 7th century, Catholics have been kneeling after the Agnus Dei, the point during Mass when the priest holds up the chalice and consecrated bread and says, "Behold the lamb of God." But four years ago, the Vatican revised its instructions, allowing bishops to decide at some points in the Mass whether their flocks should get on their knees. "The faithful kneel … unless the Diocesan Bishop determines otherwise," says Rome's book of instructions. Since then, some churches have been built without kneelers.
The debate is part of the argument among Catholics between tradition and change. Traditionalists see it as the ultimate posture of submission to and adoration of God; modernists view kneeling as the vestige of a feudal past they would like to leave behind.

I blame society.

48/50, 492 seconds, 5 miles average, 95% ..... bow to me the overlord of state geography.
The only ones I got wrong were western states out in the middle of nowhere with no frame of reference.
was anyone as confused yesterday as I was when listening to President Bush's Memorial Day address or was this another 'Bush Truth'.
"In this place where valor sleeps, we are reminded why America has always gone to war reluctantly: because we know the costs of war," Mr. Bush said. "We have seen those costs in the war on terror we fight today."
If President Bush knew the cost of war... why did he not tell the American people that the war was going to cost billions and billions of $'s for unknown years and tens of thousands of innocent lives and thousands of dead and wounded American soldiers who were sent preemptively (not reluctantly) for reasons contrary to fact with little or no concern for the possible consequences, as we have found out. We seem to be liberating a country so that terrorism can fester. Is there some disconnect here?
I was 35 miles off on the state geography puzzle. Not bad for a Canadian.
I played it twice. The first time my average error was 14 miles, and the second time it was 3 miles.
On my second try I managed to place Idaho correctly before any of its bordering states had come up. lol
98% avg error 5 miles 327 seconds
little slow this morning
I am obviously not very good with geography.

Number 11 sign you're a fundie. You think God and Allah are two seperate gods. And probably that Jews worship a third god.
The first sign, hands down, his you want to tell others how they must live they’re lives, and u can’t possibly understand how they don’t see the goodness and righteousness of your views. Things would be so much easier if everybody saw things like you and we would have heaven on earth (or the setting stage for the rapture, your pick).
A catholic priest getting agro about people on their knees in church? Maybe if the church were filled with children they wouldn't mind it so much.
48/50 96% I missed Kansas and Rhode Island. I knew Kansas was in the middle, I just didn't know it was in the middle. Without frames of reference, I'd say I did pretty well. Average Error: 11 miles. Hahaha... nothing like online quizzes, eh? I once took a CEO quiz and got 100%, then a gangster quiz where I got a 20%. What does that tell you about me? ;)

What he said.
48/50 96% 13 Miles 461 Seconds
47/50 (94%) 7 miles ave error 588 seconds
The only states I missed were ones in the west. Having lived in the west my whole life, I clearly knew where these states were, but it's hard to precisely place Wyoming on a blank map.
Where is the "west"?
having grown up on the west coast watching "westerns" I was surprised to learn that dodge city, as western a town as west gets is slightly east of center of these united states.
The "midwest" starts just 350 miles from the atlantic coast (ohio).
I guess that means nevada is the mideast from a west coast perspective.
My Where is the "west"? post refers to continental U.S. obviously. Include Hawaii & the California coast is close to the center.
Sorry for the lack of capitols letters in names in the previous post...dreadfully embarrassing.
Good question. I consider the west to include MT, WY, ID, UT, NV, CA, OR, WA, NM, AZ, & maybe western TX. Others will undoubtedly have different opinions.
