Hi Beebes, I know what you mean, I have little / no expectations of people to keep in touch with me. I'm less disappointed that way. Also, I make sure that if I want contact, then I initiate it. Sorry you sound so let down. Been there too, keep writing , Shalom Thanks for the encouraging words. I can us

Reply to Oprah's Hermes incident now labelled "Racism" in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Lets hope there is more to this story than just not being let in after closing. As far as I know, that's all it was. Now, to be sure, if it were something more, you'd think that she'd come out with it right now. But, she's waiting for the premier of the show in fall to talk about it, which only makes he

I expected you to move on in Poetry JoeUser Forums

I've been struggling with the fact lately that I know I'm going to have to give up some of the people I know from high school when I go to college just because I won't have the time to email and call them. I just wish that some of them wouldn't make it so easy for me. I guess it's this transition between one life and the next. It's a problem of substance, I guess. The

This again shows you how victimized in thinking minorities have become, any chance they get, they scream RACIST! not the store was closed, it just had to be because she is black. I am so tired of this crap. To make it worse, this victimization is now espoused by the most powerful female celebrity in our

And if that's the case, it's pretty disgusting because it's an insult to people who have truly experienced racism. Yes indeed. Apparently now she's calling it her "Crash" moment, which is totally absurd, and demeaning to those who have experienced true racism and sexual molestation.

Oprah's Hermes incident now labelled "Racism" in Current Events JoeUser Forums

What a bunch of crap. It just goes to show you how the world is going these days. Oprah, getting snubbed at a Hermes store in Paris issued a complaint to the U.S. President of said company. The company actually issued an apology! The store had been closed fore 15 minutes! "I'm sorry ma'am. You're a person. Yes that's right, a person. Not a celebrity. No ma'am

Reply to We are Americans. We are blessed. in Poetry JoeUser Forums

The very thing that the Statue of Liberty stands for, the generosity of our people, the trust we put in mankind from all lands, and the welcome we give one and all, is the very thing that allowed 911 to happen. I hope we survive our generosity. No doubt we will, as long as we have the will to do it.</f

Reply to 2+2=5, Black & White Make Yellow, F = A+.... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

This isn't the best article to base a rant about American schools on, is it? It's a nice figure to pull out of your butt, that money we've spent on the war in Iraq. Did you forget that school funding is a STATE responsibility? It is the STATE's responsibility to educate. Not the Federal Government's. If you want to bitch about school funding, be my guest. At least in Ohio, funding is atrocious. Of course, I could probably debate a da

The fire it calls to us, the explosions rock the very foundations of our world, and we ooh and aah while looking up at these green and red firefly patterns.

Fall asleep little one, I'll carry you to the moon, I'll be here to care for you, because parting comes so soon. Lay your head down to sleep, you are my little soldier, you've tried so hard these past years, and I don't doubt you're tired. I pray that you will see the light, Even my eyes are tired of the dark, and neve

We want independence in Poetry JoeUser Forums

We smile a lot. I suppose it's to fend off the pain and the suffering that we see everyday we walk down the street. We laugh a lot. I suppose it's to hide our insecurities from our foes and make us look all the more powerful in their eyes. We cry a lot. It's probably because we're too busy holding in all our sacred emo
