But her plane isn’t in a dry county and part of the airline income that pays for her salary comes from overcharging for drinks and drinking is legal so her faith is interfering with other attendant’s workloads and the airline’s bottom line.

One of her co-workers objected. Since her refusal impacted their workload why should the airline favor a worker who refused to do all her tasks over one who did?

When I see them stop serving alcohol, I'll believe it. On shorter flights that and the safety speech are all the flight attendants do so what exactly can she do that is the equivalent of them walking up and down the plane with drinks?

Good grief, the junk that gets better ratings despite all the hoopla this show got...

There have been Chinese people living in North America for about 150 years so Alexie making allowances for how lousy that poem is based on that name is pretty insulting. Anyone writing poetry usually has a superior grasp of the language they’re using for it, especially if they want it published. Even if you want to…

Thanks for the summary, at first I thought this was what the post was about but it went on so long I got confused.

It tanked!?Do tell.

That’s a bit harsh but then again considering the tragedies drunk drivers cause, it has to be dealt with that way. Let's hope this girl doesn't go on the road with her toy and cause an accident even without a license.

Agreed, I think people ideas of how most priests view this issue are stuck far in the past. My aunt got an annulment pretty fast when her bishop was informed that her husband had a kept woman he’d been supporting since before their wedding and still was. Her church’s annulment happened long before her legal divorce…

I don’t know your friends but getting a Catholic annulment is no more expensive than a regular divorce except that the “donations”you speak of don’t go to the church but to the process of gathering testimonies (sometimes from witnesses who have to be tracked down all over the world or may be reticent to participate…

She’s conveniently forgetting that it’s not mainstream Christians who were abolitionists but those who ignored the actual texts ( which advocated that slaves bear their lot virtuously) and instead focused on the spirit of the gospel which was to treat others as you would wish to be treated.

No one can point to a passage about parking cars, I'm sure of it. You're free to do as you please especially to park in a church's lot, what grounds would they have for towing it away?

I think the writers were doing a half day or something. Maybe the story was switched but not the headline.

Is he OK? That sounds like at least stitches and shock to me.

There was always violence at the Carifete in Montreal, Canada, so they stopped financing it, started again, there was violence again and I haven’t heard of there being one in a while. When there were enough cops at the parade there were stabbings in the parcs where it ended instead.

Would plain-clothes officers be an option?

Wow that was so brave of you. I personally only know one woman who did this 25 years ago when she was 18 ( this was before DNA testing but every female relative had gotten cancer and when two uncles got it too, she just said she couldn’t live in fear). She moved away long ago but mutual friends tell me she’s happy and…

What amazes me is that no dolphins are reported to have eaten the newborns because that's what I'd worry about.

Older guys, fathers, uncles, probably told them only cheap guys went dutch.Lots of women used to really look down on a guy who let them pay-as if he didn’t value their time or feel the need to impress them. These are tough mindsets to get rid of. I like to pay my way but I’m still very impressed when a man does old…

I’m a woman yet the excuse that the guy must pay because I got dressed is such nonsense. Believe it or not I have to roll out of bed, style my hair and get dressed properly pretty much every day of the week. For most dates I just touched up my make-up and put on prettier accessories, for special ones I’d go home and…
