But the LORD said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.- 1 Samuel 16:7

"Driver Seat Game" - Simulating the Effects of Aging on Driving Ability

Submitted by pure.imagination on Thu, 06/18/2009 - 10:39

Liberty Mututal has recently released a new online game on their website, "Driver Seat Game", putting you in control of a car with the simulated difficulties that an elderly person would have based on their age. Ideally, this game will spark conversations between adults and their elderly parents about transportation options to keep their parents safe and relive them of the stress of driving. For more information, visit ITN-America, a non-profit focused on providing transportation for senior citizens.

The "R"-word or the "A"-word?

Submitted by Manger on Tue, 02/24/2009 - 13:50

Would you rather be called an “a##hole” or a “retard?” Just a question. Now I realize that some of you are offended by the use of the word “a##hole,”[the fact that I have to obfuscate the word a##hole in order to allow this post should tell you something] however, I wish more of you were offended by the use of the word “retard.” Why? …Thanks for asking.
