Reply to To Hell with This! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I know how you feel as well, this is the first time I've been to JU in a couple of weeks, and it hasn't changed a bit. The only thing I would get out of coming to JU is increased blood pressure, and a feeling of empty camaraderie. I don't know most of the people I read and I never will; why waste time in my day to argue/agree with people I'll never know??? I get nothing out of it in the long run, nothing is going to change their position on a topic, no

Reply to The scoop on low carbs in Diet JoeUser Forums

Thank you BlueDev!!! Holy smokes, that's more than I could have hoped for from a post. It was all as clear as I could make it, my first year of high school biology is kind of a haze, and that just so happened to be when we learned about metabolism, cellular functions, Krebs cycle, etc. I'm worried about her, but when am I not. I don't think she's really taking it very seriously, she just wants to put off pounds, which she doesn't need to lose.

Unfortunately, where I live in the U.S., my neighbors will probably set off fireworks, shotguns, airhorns, car horns, etc when the U.S. team is featured. Ahh, the perils of living in a hick town.

Reply to The scoop on low carbs in Diet JoeUser Forums

Yeah, I was trying to remember what my science teacher told me about it. He mentioned one of the internal organs, either the kidneys or the liver, whichever it was, he said it has to change it's chemistry completely to account for the massive amounts of protein and less amounts of carbs.

The scoop on low carbs in Diet JoeUser Forums

It's recently came to my attention that someone very near and dear to me has been cutting down the carbs in her diet. I don't even think she needs to diet, but apparently she does and there's no stopping her. Anyway, I was wondering about the possible long-term effects of an extended low carb diet. I realize there hasn't been the opportunity to study the long

Seems we have a bit in common, except that I'm a junior in high school. I try hard to be polite and respectful, and in return I feel I should earn the respect of others as well.

Reply to Orson Scott Card on liberal media bias in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I'm still waiting to see a headline, in large bold print, reading "Kerry is not a War Hero!" Because it's a "liberal media"? I've yet to see a headline that says "Bush was wrong about Iraq" from the "liberal media". Conservatives seem to expend a

Reply to Who understands us teens? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I know a lot of people get stereotyped but I try to get to know them before i say anything. That's more than a lot of other people can say. I didn't mean for what you said to come off as arrogant or big-headed, everyone and anyone can rise above a stereotype.

Reply to Foghorn Leghorn and sentimentality...what a combo in Misc JoeUser Forums

I can't really say anything to that, it would take away from how it made me feel. I can't say "that was awesome" or "great story" because those sound sarcastic and uncaring. I don't know the right words for it. So without further ado, __________.

Reply to Who understands us teens? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

blondelife, they're all right. Coming from a teen (who goes to the same school as you), in addition to the advice that's been given, you have to learn to moderate your feelings. This really doesn't have much to do with "understanding", but I was just sitting here thinking about why adults give teens a bad stereotype. Now for an explanation: Teens want to have fun. I want to drive a little crazy, pu

Reply to What's your favorite unusual sport? in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

shades, Gaelic Footbal sounds a lot like Australian (Aussie) Rules football. If the games weren't broadcast in the asscrack hours of the morning here in Ohio, I'd definitely watch more of it, very entertaining. I love the way the referee signals a score as well; you'd have to see it, it'd be impossible to describe any other way than in person.

Reply to Golf=boring.... Frisbee golf=fun! in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

Give me real golf anyday. Whether you take this as a trolling post or not, that's up to you, but real golf can be just as fun as you claim frisbee golf is. The only thing I find appealing is the price, greens fees are getting a little pricy for my budget but I still love the game. You would get more exercise from real golf as well. During 18 holes of golf, walking straight down the middle of the fairway EVERY hole (which many people don't do <img src="

Reply to Whats with all this bashing? in Republican JoeUser Forums

I don't understand what the problem with foreigners is. At the age of 16, I've been lucky enough to have travelled to England, Scotland (2), and New Zealand. I find that, with these trips, I've gained a better understanding of how the world views us, which in turn may lead to the making or breaking of alliances to "beat them there sand n******" (I refuse to say that word, and it's a horrible term as a whole). I found it interesting that you claimed mor

I'd rather not comment on political threads, I'm not gifted with debate skills and this site only gets my BP rocketing, no need to encourage that. However, I felt I needed to post simply to show that there ARE other democrats on this site (assuming previous posters and authors are such).

* Be sure to use the bathroom before we leave. If the child just says "I don't have to use the bathroom", that's thinking for themselves, to which the parent may say "Ok." That example seems harmless enough to me. My dad intervened into many a childhood argument between any one of us children.

I too am right handed, my left hand is significantly weaker in most areas I have a self-confidence problem, I don't take some comments at face value and expend too much energy into deciphering. I'm trying to be more pleasurable, I want to be everyone's friend. (Even if it means the occasional pleasantries to strangers) I don't think my best is good enough, and it makes me anxious all the time. I don't want to let other people down. I of

If I were a woman, you'd give me a boner. Yeah that's a bit convoluted, but you have a really good grasp on what's going on, and how good guys always get shafted. I'm settled in a really awesome relationship right now, but when I look at her, I still get that achy/breaky heart feeling (which might not be a good thing). I've never been so sure about loving someone as her, and I know she loves me but I still get the feeling that says, "Man I wis
