I don't think it's shameful NOT to go to church. Everyone prays in their own way. Everyone has a different perception of what G-d is or isn't, does or doesn't do, what he/she/it looks like, and what powers G-d has. So why is there a need to go to a separate building and pray with other

I recently swore off the Wurst house. The pizza was always pretty nasty, although the strombolis weren't bad. Problem was they just kept messing up the orders. Often, I'd get there to pick up, and they'd have forgotten the order, or burned it and started over. While I waited, it seemed like

I think you're wrong. Although The Real World itself is a stupid excuse for entertainment, having the hype and the positive focus on Philly would have been good for the city in many ways. Having the show set here, with Philly's name in the title, would have shown that this city is on par with
