[quote]Again...I'm not criticising, just asking.[/quote] Asking questions for clarity is always a good thing! [quote]I was told once by a journalist years ago that he always uses the term homosexual for his editorials because gay was never meant to be used for homosexuals.

[quote]I prefer 'camper than a row of tents' myself.[/quote] Interesting terminology!lol [quote]The word 'gay' is just a euphenism that people liked, presumably because it's non-perjorative and fairly apt in describing a stereotypical gay man and doesn't require any mention of sex, both essential requirements for new garden party words.[/quote] Quite stereotypical too! I like that..."garden party words"!

Is it wrong to criticize Jessica Simpson's weight Gain? in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

I can't believe that people have nothing better to do than go crazy over what Jessica Simpson looks like now. Gone is that really thin size 0 (I'm guessing) body that she was to wear those Daisy Dukes. The poll that Showbiz Tonight did 82 percent said it wasn't OK for people to criticize Jessica, especially in the manner they did, r

Which word do you prefer to use? No, I didn't ask you whether you like people of that persuasion or not, or what your religion feels, which word do you prefer to use when you talk about homosexuals?

Since the year began I made plans to continue with my weight loss plan. I got back on track with eating really healthy at least five times per week, which is pretty easy because of work.

Using our common sense and giving the money back or stop taking more from the people. I can agree with all that. Good points! My suggestions on the businesses, was especially for those small businesses who are in trouble, not because of their own, but because of the growth in their taxes and fees and also loss of consumers for some. I have friends who are losing out because of the dwindling of their clienteles. There are also townsd and cities losing their la

Reply to What is your Solution to our Problems? in Current Events Stardock Forums

My solution to our problems is for the government to take this new stimulus package and give it to businesses so that they can continue to keep their workwers and employ more people. The money that was given to these banks has not helped any of us. They were not mandated or regulated to ensure that they (the banks) would put that money (they receive) to use so that they would in turn help their customers. You know what they did? They either held on to the money "s
