    Not like that, you pervs :p ... I meant for the Lent season. Me... I don't know yet. :(

    And, no, you do not have to be in a certain religion to "give up something" and show your discipline and will power.

    It's ASH WEDNESDAY for us Catholics. Let's storm that Long John Silvers down the street!

    I love listening to Catholics talk about what they are doing for Lent each year. I wonder if any of them know that God isn't appreciative of the act when it's done with the spirit most do it with.

    ^ Please elaborate, sir. It would make a nice conversation if we can rationally come down to define what that "spirit" you mention could be. But I agree that some aren't like that. Just offer some insight and let's not argue about it.

    A "Come back to life" cocktail? :confused: How about that, Rock3t? [vuelve a la vida]

    I'm thinking about giving up COFFEE. That should be a TOUGH test of will power :eek: . It will also decrease my sugar intake (with a full cup, I add 6 packets of sugar).

    I have two Catholic friends that I've spoken with today. One is trying to lose weight so she is giving up fast food at lunch for Lent and is bringing a lunch now. The other said "I guess I'm going to quit fu****g drinking again this year since I can't think of anything else."

    If my original post implied I have some sort of problem with the Catholic faith or the idea behind Lent, I apologize. Nothing could be further from the truth.

    Thats possible if you're married.

    I wonder if anyone would be willing to not visit clutchfans for a year. That would be the ultimate sacrifice.

    I do not know what you speak of, with your PAGAN ideas, sir. May that idea NEVER materialize, sir. :eek:

    I'm an agnostic, so I don't see a whole lot of point to me giving up anything. You guys have fun depriving yourselves; I'm gonna go have a soda.
