Reply to FOOLISHNESS: I'M UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I am flattered that someone should post about my post. Remember that I did not slag off homosexuals--I said they make me uncomfortable, especially when they display their affections openly. It takes all types to make up our world.

Homosexuality: I'm just uncomfortable with it. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I feel no anathema towards gays (or homosexuals in American speak), but I must admit that I feel uncomfortable when they flout their "gaydom" openly ---something that I believe should be kept hidden. I'm probably old-fashioned but I cringed the other day when I opened the Daily Mail and read about Elton John's birthday party. There was a picture of Elton hol

KFC : " ----maybe there is something we need to be doing here to prepare for the other side." That 'something' is doing good for our fellow man, whether in Christ or not. I do respect your views KFC---we just don't think the same way.

Reply to GLOBAL WARMING (GW) REVISITED in Republican JoeUser Forums

I'm with you some of the way. A good article but disjointed. You could have planned your layout a lot better. My biggest problem with global warming, the energy crisis and the degradation of the planet is that is OK for developed countries to become aware/take action as per "The Green Revolution" et al, but what are people going to do about Africa, India and other under-developed areas? Are the First World countries so naive as to think that g

What do Joeusers think about these topics? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I do not know whether JU friends agree or not but I think we're going through a (temporary), lull at the moment. JU can be very active and inspiring, but like everything, we hit our lows from time to time. As a a loyal Joeuser I thought I'd sow a few topics out there and we can debate them adnauseam (ha ha). Lets see if you can agree or get angry over these topics for

Reply to Cruelty to animals beyond measure in Pets & Nature JoeUser Forums

Good article. Don't venture anywhere near most African countries where cruelty to donkeys, horses, dogs,sheep, deer, cats (big and small), and some protected ape species, is the norm. It is a sad reality of life that many animals are used, abused or eaten by the cruellest animal of all: man.

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

Let's open a can of worms, Gid. What about GM and cloned meat? The US will be one of the first countries (according to Sky News), to offer meat and milk from the OFFSPRING of cloned animals. Heard the story? Have any thoughts? As far as organic goes it sounds like a rip-off now but the medics say our bodies will eventually benefit from having less chemicals in the food we eat. Problem is: Is organic really organic?

Bloemies bo! Welcome to the old JU. I am from East London and before that, Clocolan--you'll know that little dorpie. My wife and I now live in Cairo after many adventures through countries in Africa.

Reply to US Generals lose hope in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Here's my uninformed comment as I am beginning to worry about the war in Iraq. The war is a civil war. It is between Shia and Sunni, and passengers. The US has been unable to stabilise the war in Iraq because, if I may use the analogy of a dart board, they are the BULL. Everyone goes for the Bull. So, you have two factions after the Bull but they still fight amongst themselves, Sunni and Shia. Then you have a third faction, mesmerised by the

Opposition leader beaten up. in Current Events JoeUser Forums

In my previous post I ventured to suggest that Zimbabwe was sliding into the mire as surely as a hippo in quicksand. Quicksand is not the right word at all. A hell-hole would be closer after yesterday's events. I'm really angry and upset by the blatant bullying and plain unadulterated assault perpetrated on MDC (the opposition party), supporters and the leader, Morga

Reply to Believers' Question #5 in Religion JoeUser Forums

I'm not going to argue with KFC (or get into a debate), but I disagree that " there's a big diff in death for those who are in Christ and those who are not." There are many good people on this earth who have not "found Christ" but who devote their lives to others whether it be by a smile, a friendly welcome, friendship, donations to charity and caring for others. Are they excluded because they are "not in Christ"? The idea that, upon death, th

Reply to Civil War in Britain - Maybe. in Politics JoeUser Forums

I agree. The Blair regime is on its last legs. Dear Tony is trying to prop up his legacy by "going green" and by trying to be the World statesman. He has so many skeletons in the cupboard now that his Worldly appearances make no difference. If Lord Levy (a snobbish crook), and the "cash for honours" controversy don't sully Blair's legacy, the Iraq war will. We should never underestimate the British when it comes to a war. A useless war is even more unf

Reply to Obesity - WHY? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

LW: "Two bloody marys with vodka and V8." Yum, yum. I worry more about obese children. I agree that there are all sorts of factors that contribute to obesity, but I believe that there are many children eating too much junk food. Home made pizzas and burgers seem to be much more nutritious than the crap McDonalds and Pizza Hut dole out.Look at this recipe: Home made burgers: 1lb of lean minced pork or beef or mixed. An egg, breadcrumbs, chives, Mix and

To Doc Guy and Greywar: I don't think you can compare Cuba to Zimbabwe. Cubans enjoy medical care and good food resources. Cuba is now a tourist destination for Europe's sunseekers.They are just cut off from reality. Also Castro had backing from communist countries. China is so embarrassed by Zimbabwe that the President did not put Harare on his agenda during his recent African trip. I believe, but I'm speculating, that Zimbabwe will see a rev
