I'm not so sure it's individual politicians to blame, at least not entirely. I think some really are motivated by the desire to improve the country (I believe Obama fits in this category, along with plenty of others who I may not agree with politically). And of course others are in it for...

If our political differences are all just a distraction to keep us from noticing that we the people no longer have a voice? I don't know who does run the country (banks and corporations?) but I know it is most definitely not us. I'm a liberal, I watch Olbermann and Maddow, others here love...

Thanks Liann. Heck, I feel the same way in terms of my level of sympathy for a law-abiding citizen v. a criminal. Still, I don't think we should lump all of the scumbags together. There are different types of scumbags out there, you know? I feel a bit of sympathy for the guy, like maybe a...

Janie and Michele, surely you aren't saying that all crimes should have the same punishment, regardless of their severity?

No flippin' way! :)

I agree with Morningstar and Govtgirl here too. I'm sure that your brother loves you and doesn't want to hurt you. I know it's a tense situation and it's hard not to react to others' "mistakes" by blaming or distancing, but if you try to stay focused on your own role and not on what you want...

LOL...and eew! :)

Binkies, if I got it wrong about you, I'm truly sorry. If you decide to continue posting here or on another forum, it's usually a good idea to start off with a new post saying hi and introducing yourself. Jumping in on a heated thread with personal judgments against others as your very first...

I'm sorry for jumping on the bandwagon Govtgirl. I believe you and didn't think, or say, that I thought it was you. I do suspect that it isn't really a newbie. It seems like "new" people often show up in heated threads, with a post aimed at a particular person and that always strikes me, and...

Gee whiz Morningstar, what makes you think that? Binkies even told us: "I am obviously super-new to this forum". Not just new, but super-new. Super-dooper-new. Obviously. As for you and Carola agreeing, that's kinda cute. :eek::p In fact, it makes me think of one of my favorite Shel...

I agree with everyone else. She's cute and talented and writes her own music. She isn't a great singer but she does play guitar well (or better than I do anyway :) !) I also don't think it's Country music. Anyone else see her on SNL last week? She was great! Very funny! I think she's an...

When I called out Govtgirl for bullying I hadn't read the entire thread, and I still haven't and probably won't. This thread is repugnant to me (the title says it all). I saw one very venomous post from her attacking Jonezie, which was followed by a kinder and more magnanimous post from...

In the spirit of fairness, Jonezie shouldn't have bullied/attacked Govtgirl either. I should mind my own business now, and I will. In general the world would be a better place if we all thought about our own issues and anxieties rather than criticizing and trying to change or fix others...

I see your points Liann. Maybe I was unfair since I don't share Govtgirl's POV on the issue at hand. I found her last post to be so bullying and just straight-up mean, but it's possible I missed bullying other the other side too. I didn't say that "believing in the death penalty means you are...

Hey Govtgirl, why so rageful and self-righteous? What an overreaction to go off on Jonezie about her blog and all that...I mean, it's Cathe's website and she can take care of things herself if someone has broken the rules about promoting their own stuff. And if you don't like her blog, that's...

I'm starting to suspect that maybe the two of you don't really get along? ;) Thanks for the info Carola. That's disappointing. I've been buying the So Delicious Coconut Milk lately, but DH still does the soy. :confused:

I read this too, and according to snopes, in some places *77 connects you to the highway patrol, but in other places it's another number. The snopes entry went on to say that 911 is the number to call in this kind of situation.

CONGRATS!!!

Thanks for posting this. What a great video! It would be very hard to go "fat talk free", sadly. But I'd love to try!

Yep, I think it's rude, at least as it appears at this point, and I think you should get out of it. I'd find out first if your friend volunteered you or was supposed to have asked you. If the bride thinks you already agreed to this, she isn't being rude, she just needs to be told that you are...
