Is Getting a Mail-Order Bride a Good Idea?
So, I'm being serious here. Seeing that I'm going to be an adult this February, I do kind of want a wife very badly. I'll just be honest--I don't like the whole dating-till-you-find-someone Western ideal that seems to be a failure. For one, it's too difficult. Second, the number of Orthodox people i...

Re: Orthodox Pilgrimages
According to Google, approximately 114.8 miles from my location in Newark/Fremont. Is it a tough drive?
That examiner you had btw sounds very crabby--failing you just because he was too nervous to continue. Mine was very nice; I gave him a big hug after he passed me that seemed to surprise him

Re: Orthodox Pilgrimages
It's a greenish color; I only had to take the behind-the-wheel test once to pass, however, I did receive 13 errors...heh.

I'd like to make some pilgrimages to Orthodox places around the West Coast, start...

Re: Marriage is a school of sanctity; children are a blessin
That sounds very nice and all, but the thought of having children if I ever get married truly does scare me. For starters, I've seen a female in labour before. I saw my mom give birth to my sister back in 2010. It wasn't pretty, and I couldn't imagine putting my wife through such a horrendous experi...

Re: The fate of the Christians in Syria
I feel very bad for them. I wish I could marry a Syrian Orthodox female and thus save her from those problems going on in her home country.

Re: Marijuana and "Medical Marijuana" - ethical consideratio
Tough one. One the one hand, marijuana can mess people up, but, so can alcohol and tobacco, yet, we allow those things to be legal, and the Prohibition against alcohol was unsuccessful. The difference however between alcohol and marijuana is that a person can consume alcohol without getting drunk--a...
