lol...did you see chirpj's article on CostCo? I'm glad to be back in the land of Sam's club. CostCo was just that...alot of COST. I think Sam's is cheaper. That and the fact some people think "free samples" mean " all you can eat buffet". yeah...that's a little ridiculous. I think its funny in Vegas that people will drop $500 in the
1. Fat people that meander through Costco: How can two human asses block a 14 foot aisle? Answer: Simple! Put a free sausage sample cart in the middle of it! Join a gym you fat bastards. As a fat person who used to meander through Costco...and also as a fat person who continues to meander through public
Ah-nold Hehe...my students love when I do the math lesson in my Ah-nold voice.
lol...I think it might be CostCo's way to subconciously...subconciously...hmmmmm... I'm glad that there's no more CostCo's here. I think that Sam's is cheaper than CostCo and has more crap. Blah. lol...good luck! Maybe you should carry an AED with you just in case?
I am sorry, too, HC. I *didn't* blacklist you, I merely closed the article for comments, and that is all. That was the point of all this, right? And you have your honest answer.
Clemency must never be granted on the basis of a "hope", but rather on FACT. I said nothing about clemency. In fact, I've said that the punishment was just in this case. I was hoping that he really HAD changed personally before his just sentence was carried out. In fact, if you read dharm
lol...your family is so adorable, Jamie. I hope that you have an amazing holiday with them!
I don't think that he did. What's the first thing you think of when you say 'Tookie Williams'? The first thing that comes to my mind is 'The Crips'. He may have had his name attached to some books denouncing gang violence, but I don't recall him ever making a statement saying 'I'm done with the Crips. I'm outta the gang'. S
Hard to change really with that kind of violent behavior in the past. I agree...but there's nothing wrong with hoping, right?
That's some crazy stuff. It's hard to imagine that some people are wired like that--to hate and to fight so much. There's so many different ways a person can get to that point. It's scary, really. Someone I love very much is in federal prison right now for embezzling millions of dollars. It's not a violent crime like Tookie's were, mind you, but still very serious. And I think that prison has allowed him to have life experiences that he n
The person you used to be was bright and special, full of promise, the person you've become is a dime-a-dozen, just another internet kook waiting for the men in the white coats. No...I was a bitch then, too.
I think you're crazy. Ummm...ditto.
I suppose it's never occurred to you that you get back what you put in to the place, hmm? In these past few weeks I have been quite wowed at the kindness of JUsers, and even wrote about it in my article about JUser "angels." We have had homeless people find a home here, (Gid) a computerless person be given a working machine (Maso
And that caused me to not be able to comment on your thread about M&M as well? Or was that one disabled for comments too? If so, why post it to the forums? If not, my bad. The principle still stands though. I've seen it over and over here. If you don't like what someone has to say, just blacklist 'em... that'll show em. Unfortuna
If you're talking to me, I didn't blacklist you, I disabled comments on the whole article. It was turning into a "let's psychoanalyze Marcie" fest when the whole point was just that I think that the general mood at JU lately has been crappy.
It should be against the law to be that darned cute!
Have you ever seen "The Green Mile"? I struggle with the death penalty, myself. I have a hard time dealing with the fact that a group of people who represent ME can choose to kill someone. I don't know if I could do it or not. Anyway...back to the Green Mile--you know, when Percy is mocking one of the inmates after he's dead. And then Brutal comes up and tells Percy to leave him alone--because he's paid his dues and he's right with
Well said, Jill. Whether we like it or not, we do influence other people--and we can do it for the positive or the negative. We never know how our words and actions will affect another person--is it REALLY so hard to help the little old Grandma put the gifts for her grandkids in her trunk? Or walk the cart to the cart corral? I think Loca has some very good thoughts. I think its important that we know ourselves, too...and know to t

I think most people who have worked a "regular" job have had lunch at our desk. I can't imagine being responsible for a room full of kids and not making sure they were being taken care of during my break. I really don't care who made the schedule. It should have been discussed and fixed before the first schedule conflict ever occ
That is the beauty of religion. There is a different flavor for just about any taste. I dont expect to convert anyone, but education is never bad when some of the misconceptions can at least be cleared up. That I can at least explain some of them so they do not appear to be idol worship, or "infallible" is all I seek. </TR
Yay! Happy birthday, D! (And feel better, Shea!)
lol...Ziggy was a Catholic for many many years! He was an ALTAR BOY FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! His whole family is Catholic and I think he understands the Catholic church very well. It's HIS perspective, DG...HIS. He doesn't intend for it to be antagonistic or "anti Catholic"--he's just saying that this is what he's experienced in his life with his faith. He didn't say that "Catholics are stupid!" He's saying that he doesn't see the logic in some
Ooooh...sounds good, Karen. I'll look it up the next time I go to the library.
lol...Karen...I know it's not funny...but just the image I have in my head of little you wrestling with the toilet is too much. It figures this would happen while Dave was away, too, right? Not that you're incapable of handling it, of course. But it just figures. Good luck with your pipes, babe.
There is lots of room for discussion here and it's all very interesting but let's not fight over it. We just need to dig thru all they layers and find out what the truth is. The question we need to ask of course.....do we want the truth or do we just want to be right? I for one am a truth seeker and I'd love for you all to be als
