Something all too common at urbandictionary and demonstrated when people write ignorant definitions of things they know nothing about, label and stereotype groups of people and persons they know nothing about, and defame groups of people-particularly persons of faith-they disagree with.

1. A city in California (pronounced CAR-MELL) south of the Bay area. Population of 4,078 in 2000.
2. A city in fast-growing Hamilton County, Indiana (pronounced CAR-MUHL)and a posh suburb of Indianapolis. It is much larger than the California city with the exact same name. It is one of the fastest-growing communities in Indiana (above 30,000 that is) and one of the fastest-growing in the Midwest. It had a population of just 28,000 in 1990, up to 38,000 in 2000, and a special census in 2007 recorded approximately 85,000. The city is experiencing growing pains. Carmel is in the process of annexing Clay Township, due to heavy growth. Its population growth requires its sewers to be upgraded. It was considered just a bedroom community for Indianapolis for many years, but things are quickly changing. It has gained thousands of jobs and population in just a few years as companies expand or even relocate to the area. It was ranked as one of America's top 25 best places to live according to Forbes Magazine in 2006.

Carmel, Indiana is a very nice community to live with good schools, a family atmosphere, low crime and a growing number of jobs. It is one of just a few towns in Indiana with a lot of rich people.

pronounced CAR-MULL. A city in Hamilton County, Indiana with a population of some 66,000 in 2007 and a posh suburb of Indianapolis. Probably the only “wealthy” community in Indiana. Many Hoosiers mistakingly believe Carmel is rich and envy its residents for some reason. It is no doubt a very nice and growing community but the truth is that there are tons of similar-sized communities around the country with way more money than Carmel could ever dream about, making it only an upper middle-class community. It’s not even the richest community in the Midwest by a long shot. In fact, a similar but smaller community of Zionsville to the immediate west could rival Carmel’s wealth per-capita, except they don’t brag about their perceived “wealth” and know how to respect individuals who have less than they do.
Hoosiers have no reason to be envious of Carmel because it is only an upper middle-class community. Many Hoosiers are jealous of its perceived wealth because they have no life of their own, but yet enough time on their hands to insult those who have worked for a living to obtain what they have. How jealous and childish. If your life sucks, then change it.

a doctrine taught by mostly evangelical Christian televangelists that wealth and propserity are promised in the Bible for devoting your life to God, or that a life of wealth and health and prosperity are signs of God's favor. Unfortunately, the prosperity gospel is not just unBiblical, but is used by these televangelists to get you to donate your money to their organization. I am a Christian myself and dont buy into the prosperity gospel.
The prosperity gospel unfortunately leads others astray and exploits one's desire to have wealth and health in this life. In a way, the prosperity gospel teaches a person to pursue wealth and not God himself, and could be considered a form of idolatry. If the prsperity gospel is true, then why wasn't Mother Teresa or Jesus rich?? Does being "poor" mean you are being chastised by God? Just a few thoughts.

An insecure person with serious issues, who thinks they have to control people all the time. If they are not in control, they panic and grow angry and aloof. They have the it's-my-way-or-the-highway philosophy. In love relationships a control freak often tries to control his woman out of insecurity and lack of trust.
My roomate is a control freak and somehow thinks he is my father. He asks me where I'm going, who I'm meeting with, what I'm doing, when I'll be back, what I'm looking at on the internet, tells me how to wash the dishes and how to load the dishwasher, and even questions my spending habits. His serious control issues are making me want to move out.

One of the lowest forms of life on Earth. An incompetent, milquetoast loser. A father who refuses to be a man and take responsibility for caring for his children. If he’s divorced, he refuses to pay child support. In the meantime, his children and wife become resentful toward him.
The justice system and prosecuting attorneys are right in wanting to incarcerate any deadbeat dad. They should be locked up with the key thrown away until they take responsibility for the children they have brought into this world.
