Poignant. I like. Why thank you. Also, my apologies to those of your who came to this thread expecting political commentary of the normal kind.

This Election is a Sham in Poetry JoeUser Forums

I'm part of the revolution fools and lovers combining hearts and wishful thinking pushing past the dead results We are power united sick of hanging chads and dying Manchurian candidates We are together fighting the only world we've ever known fighting conformity fighting carelessness We must be careful don't meet m

We all know what drama is; chances are, the old has been replaced by new. Mr. Costlow, how do you do?

Reply to Baby's First Sushi in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Zoo's comment is pretty appropriate Roughly translated, it means "I now receive", but it's used as an expression of gratitude before a meal given or made by someone else. There really isn't an English equivalent.

Sometimes even the most outgoing people need time to be alone. I know exactly how you feel.

Chasing in Poetry JoeUser Forums

this time a slow moving car chase 13 days long now growing shorter by the moment the racers are waiting to scream and yell, and i will tolerate the narcotic road race 8 days longer i measure time by car lengths weary and torn ready to go home i measure life by heartbeats ready to be in your chasing arms <BR

Reply to LIBERALS Bring up Health Care Costs in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Huh, only liberals sue doctors. Good to know. I think that Gideon's point here is that when people sue the medical industry, liberals assume that no money is lost if the litigant loses the suit, which is obviously not the case. Lawsuits do cause a lot of stress for the medical world, and that's the r

Reply to An Anti-Choice Argument in Politics JoeUser Forums

Is this some sort of joke? Do you realize how much like a chauvinist you sound? "Blood that should be in her brain is in her [abdomen]"? What kind of crap is that? Are you going to now suggest that since women are too hormonal, they should be treated like property? As a person, as a human being, I find this "argument" stupid and offensive.

My world is a door in Poetry JoeUser Forums

the world a door to unkown hangs on an emotional hinge on the songs of lovers it swings forward and back a pendulum of time on the voices of mothers it opens (and closes) keeping safe, letting go we dance on the panels swing to and fro in the kisses of the sun race down the molding roads, highways, rivers,

Reply to Health Care Provider Penalizes Fatties in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

I just felt this policy would hit people where it really hurts: their wallets... and their self-images. Well, your feelings are correct. The insurance company does want to hit your wallet. What's at stake here for Insurance companies is that they have to pay more money for procedures for fat people (bip

My Personal Scapegoat in Poetry JoeUser Forums

What an ugly word in Poetry JoeUser Forums

Distance the word falls off my tongue oil for lonely fire I hold burning inside my chest What is a smile, a moment are they concepts of two souls entwined or the tangible foolish ramblings of a poet boy and his I-miss-you girl? Distance what an ugly word.

Reply to Americans don't want Low Skilled Jobs? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I don't think that "there are jobs that Americans won't do" is reason enough to sign an Amnesty bill, but that's not the point here: It is my belief that Americans won't do those jobs because Americans believe that they have a right to certain things, like health insurance, sick days, etc. Americans, largely because of Unionized Labor, have become accustomed to priveledges that are not part of what a tomato farmer can pay his workers. Not all

Reply to Allowances Tied to Chores? in Parenting JoeUser Forums

I never got an allowance for chores around the house, but I think there is a midpoint between chores as part of living in the house and chores for allowance: You could set a certain chore or chores to be the responsibility of one child: let's say you make your 11 year old load your dishwasher after meals. That's his or her job. (S)He has to do that. Then, you can tie monetary amounts to work above and beyond that initial work. If they don't do

Reply to Eating Organic is BAD for the PLANET! in Misc JoeUser Forums

But if you notice, that water is untreated (warning signs about not fit for human consumption). Hence, that is how the E Coli Spinach outbreak occurred. It doesn't help that all organic food is grown in mounds of cow manure (God's natural fertilzier, amirite?) One thing many people don't realize is that there are pesticides and herbicides and fungicides that are "organic" meaning they come from "natural" products. Rotenone, a com
