About me - Charles Arndt

My name is Chuck, but all the friends I have ever met at work and elsewhere at one point or another have called me chuckles, which is why it's part of my username. I look for opportunities to share my ideas and point of view, and learn others' ideas and p.o.v.

Relationships & Family > Married Life Women and sacrifice: 3 of 19
It is unfortunate that women must sacrifice much. It is true that this society is still dominated by men, and it is not fairly representing women. Therefore, there is still a pervading spirit of "keeping women in their place." Some women are mistaken in thinking the bible is a source of this, but they are mistaken. While the ... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Lifestyles & Trends Is society being ruined by following Hollywood: 4 of 24
The problem with Hollywood is most people base their lives on what they see in Hollywood, and judge themselves failures or successes on whether they have what the stars have. Some of the criteria are obvious: limousine, multi-room home, household staff, expensive clothes, and so on. It becomes obvious-the celebrities are clos... More..
Celebrations & Holidays > Unique Gifts Online shopping in the UK: Unique gifts for Christmas and special occasions: 5 of 19
The most difficult part of giving a gift, no matter when it is done: choosing a gift that includes the interests of the person you are giving it to. To neglect to do this is the same as wrapping a piece of dog feces in expensive paper, and giving it to someone. The effect is the same-a clear expression of lack of value for th... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Is Christianity dying out?: 52 of 123
The question is, What is Christianity? A true Christian cannot, in any way, shape or form, be involved in war, as it is taking up arms against another man. Who would be fool enough to tell God they will worship him in their own way? How would you feel if your children told you they would respect you, in their own way? How wou... More..
Relationships & Family > Cheating & Trust Issues Defining the difference between flirting and cheating: 9 of 21
It depends on the person you are with-a traditional person will consider flirting cheating, because the only person any affectionate display, even long, lingering looks, are to be directed at is that person. Is that person important enough to limit yourself to directing all attention of any value to him or her? If you truly l... More..
Computers & Technology > Computers & Technology (Other) Is the use of parental control on your TV bad or good?: 24 of 50
I totally agree with Kirsten Petersen. TV is fast becoming a sewage outlet pipe. Why should we want to watch a show about housewives with hot pants (Desperate Hosewives), or a show about a dysfunctional father firefighter who is having relations outside of marriage(Rescue Me)? Why should we watch a show about a police detecti... More..
Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: Battlestar Galactica: 18 of 33
Oh, Thank God! They are FINALLY taking that travesty off the air?! I see it more as a commercial of the great things that can be done with technology, as we see the CGI of the metal cylons, compared to the human cylons. The storyline of the show is nothing more than more boring drama. This is what it has come to for sci-fi fa... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Holidays & Celebrations Should Christians celebrate Christmas?: 61 of 82
Christians should NOT celebrate Christmas, because it has no basis in God or Christ whatsoever. The only single person responsible for Christmas is a Heathen Pagan ruler named Constantine. Even worse, he was a ROMAN ruler, which made him a hedonist, dedicated to selfish pleasure and greed, which is why he decreed that the Chr... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Will Britney Spears' new album revive her singing career?: 36 of 47
Britney Spears has gone from being a has-been to the ultimate bad idea for a young girl to idolize. She has been accused so many times of lip-synching it is not funny. Talent was never something she had to worry about, since she never had any. No self-respecting girl wants someone as stupid as Britney Spears to be her idol. B... More..
Home & Garden > Home Repair (Other) A beginner's guide to building a home office: 10 of 13
A home office can be a corner of a room, or an entire separate room in the house. To do work that requires focused attention, it is best to design a room in the house that is separate, that is, a room that has its own door that can be closed. When the door is closed, the occupant is off limits. That is part of the intention o... More..
