Reply to The Truth. . . Revealed in a new light. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I don't think anyone cares how old you are. Adopting personas online is nothing new (heh, just look at Sir Peter). There are people of all age groups here (well, of reasonable age groups... no toddlers that I know of), and I think all of their input is informative and useful. I'm 34. My best friend is 21 (but he's really mature for his age, and I'm really immature). I have friends ranging from that, 21, to mid 40's. I value all of them.

Reply to Behind Enemy Lines in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Good post. And I'm sure we all appreciate the sacrifice you made in researching it. I hate to generalize, but the ladies that I meet in the bars here tend to be rather shallow. They have low self-esteme, and usually compensate for this by acting "all that." Usually, they tend to avoid deep thought and consideration of their situation. So I am not surprised that these 25 year

Reply to Is There Something Wrong? in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

That being said, I only act that way towards objects, never people or animals (as a matter of fact, I'm very avoidant when it comes to confrontation). There are many ways of dealing with anger that do not require confrontation with another person (or animal). My personal facorite is Raquetball. I step

You know what, you're right. Either way, I can't wain, so I may as well have one person pissed at me for flaming them as opposed to a whole bunch being pissed at me for thinking that I flamed them...... I think that is the best approach. That way there is no confusion. Your words will be interpreted

Reply to Deconstructing Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 in Politics JoeUser Forums

I agree that entertainment and propaganda masquerading as political debate is a bad thing, but my sympathy for the Republicans at this moment is limited. But you miss the point that many (if not most) of the people here arguing agaist Moore are not doing so because they are Republicans or even support R

Words are Easy in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

Words are easy. That basic phrase has formed one of the foundations of my personal philosophy for many years. In those years I have shared this theme with a number of people, and I have heard many interpretations. Here I am going to explore a couple of the variations that I have imaged thus far. Words and Action Originally the phr

Reply to America's Independence in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I write this to encourage the American people that while they may be shopping, having parties, and setting off fireworks(which is extremely satisfying) to remember that back in the 1700's people were fighting and dying for you to have these rights First, good post. Second, those aren't rights.

Reply to I just wanted to say... in Blogging JoeUser Forums

OK...I neither want nor expect praise for each article I write. Sometimes I expect and welcome criticism because it makes me think differently. I still may think that my train of thought is the best one, but I at least get an opportunity to understand where the other side is coming from. To criticize me as a person though, and

Reply to Survey: Men's Marital Hopes and Fears in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Interesting article. My life seems to agree with it to a large degree, but I wonder about the reasons. I am 34 and unmarried. I do not attend religous services. I am a mechanist (a form of atheism). But I have been engaged (at the age of 22), it's just that my fiance dying of cancer kinda put the brakes to my plans of marital bliss. I've little doubt that that experience has contributed to my bachelorhood.<

I don't think anyone who deserves to win can get in the position to win. I agree. The man I really wanted to run for President will likely never do so now. That man is Fred Thompson (R -Tennessee). Some of you may recognize him from his character roles in various <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/n

But besides that, don''t you find yourself jelous that there was only one winner of that amount? Not really. Sure, it would be nice, but I don't judge my happiness by others. As long as I have enough money for a certain standard of living I don't really care how rich other people are. If I were not a

And I th8ink that's why nobody should feel obliged to "loan" change to the poor on the streets, because in a sense, they already have. Exactly. I don't pay Brad's 6-figures in taxes, but I do pay between $30,000 and $40,000, which is not a small piece of change. I also donate to a few charities like H
