Over the past several weeks, I have had or at least overheard a number of interesting discussions/arguments. To wit:
college football vs. pro (college, all the way)
Calvinism vs. Armenianism (Happy Reformation Day!)
celebrating Halloween vs. not (pass the candy, please)
church planting model vs. church growth model (megachurches freak me out)
redemption of the entire earth theology vs. redemption of souls theology (for lack of better terminology; and as for my stance on this issue, let's just say that I've been accused of being a "neo-Calvinist," whatever that means)
Georgia Tech vs. U(sic)GA (not even a contest)
cats vs. dogs (actually, we like both... but when you live in 650 sq. ft...)
PCs vs. Macs (I'm quite happy with my Dell, but the pro-Mac commercials do make me laugh)
small house/small commute vs. big house/big commute (see "cats vs. dogs")
Daylight Saving Time vs. Arizona (not sure I really have an opinion on this one... it does bother me that AZ also doesn't celebrate MLK Day)
bunny ears vs. cable (we watch way too much TV as is!)
Team Trivia vs.... well, okay... versus nothing. I just wanted to mention that we got first place tonight! WHOO HOO!
Palestine vs. Israel (do NOT get me started on this... let's just say I listen to NPR)
Episcopal/Presbyterian church government vs. congregational church government (all in favor of not voting on every little thing, say AYE)
T-Mobile vs. Cingular (Cingular has rollover mins. but you sure do pay for them)
Skittles vs. Starburst (I like that Skittles are both crunchy and chewy)
Theism vs. Secular Humanism (sheesh... whether or not we descended from monkeys, some people sure do still act like apes, and on both sides of the argument)
Greek (fraternities & sororities) vs. non-Greeks (okay, so I'm not Greek and not the greatest fan of the system, but I've had my stereotypes challenged, and that's a good thing)
Yup, it's been an interesting couple of weeks indeed! I love having diverse friends, even when it makes life confusing and/or aggravating. So has anyone else had any good discussions that they'd like to share?

Pet Peeve Alert!
ArmInians are followers of the system of doctrine popularized by Jacobus Arminius.
ArmEnians are people from a certain Eurasian country.
:)
Good work at trivia, by the way. It appears that our witch's bwew worked against the cheaters. Mwah hah hah!
You forgot the whole to be or not to be and the whole should I stay or should I go?
I am glad we won, but Kathleen Turner was not there so it only mostly counts... see playing against those guys is like playing against a copmuter... oh wait!...
I hope I have been a small part of demythologizing your stereotypes about sorority members! ;)
You forgot one very important candy question:
Almond Joy vs. Mounds ! (I don't like either, though.)
Here's one I *think* I overheard at school this week:
Beyonce vs. Shakira
???
There is absolutely no question in Beyonce vs. Shakira, there is even no comparison between the two. One is a world-class singer the other a woman with a big a$$. What do they teach these kids in school these days?!?!
I forgot to mention the music conversation! Eminem vs. rappers who don't suck.
Guess which way I fall on that one. Ha ha, Patricia! :)
Although I think I agree about the Shakira thing. Don't they both happen to have a lot of junk in the trunk though?
The other day I was debating pedobaptism with an Armenian. HA HA HA! I love to push buttons ;)
You guys are a hoot. Oh, and in answer to Alli's Q:
Definitely Almond Joy. I almost always feel like a nut, unless I'm around people that are crazier than even I am...
