I am from the south. I grew up in rural Alabama in the late 70's. I have seen a burning cross first hand. I lived in Tennessee for a while. I have seen the KKK march in Pulaski, TN. I have seen many examples of racism up close and personal. These are terrible symbols of hatred. I saw the cross burn in the yard of my 4th grade teacher because she offered aid to a young black girl and it offended the hateful members of the KKK. I am from the so

I was just like you. I am a Network Adminstrator and an all around PC tech. Everyone I know always asks me for help. Can you come over and look at this? Can you get this for me? Well I have a lot of resources at my disposal and I have always been one to lend a hand so NO was just not part of my vocabulary. I would always do the work for free assuming that if I needed a favor from these people they would be there for me. Well I am pretty self

Until then I hope you find moments to pursue and enjoy your pleasures! I used to enjoy playing on my PC at the house. Now that I am a Network Admin I have lost the pleasure in that. However, I coach my nephew's little league team and that gives me an outlet to have some fun.

Was she married to Lyle Lovette? I thought that was Julia Roberts! I guess I missed that news. You're right .. Well either one it would probably end before I like anyway. Still sticking with pinchy.

After all, she did marry Lyle Lovett, but wait, that didn't last.

Odd thing about your version, though...no okra? I don't put okra in Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. I don't like the mix of roux and okra. However, with Seafood Gumbo I make my roux out of okra. You have to brown the okra until all of the slime is gone. It adds an interesting flavor.

When my wife graduates... in Marriage JoeUser Forums

My wife has been in school for what seems like forever now. She is in a five year Architecture program (the state requires a five year program to get your license). I guess that means by current standards it should take her nine years to complete. It takes that long, not because she fails classes, but because they never seem to offer the classes she needs to move to t

You need to be spoonfed the reasons why it's wrong to shit on someone's holy book? No one shit on anyone's holy book. Even if they did, why would that cause a nation to riot and kill it's own people.

So it's John and Mason who respond negatively to articles they haven't even taken the time to read OR understand. I did read the suspect article and found it poorly written.

First ... If the recruiters want the info they will get it somewhere else. If they want you they find you. Second ... If you take the ASVAB you are screwed. I took it and did quite well.

I don't claim to have seen every appearance of Bush or heard everything he has said, and I don't remember ever hearing that we were going over there in the Lord's name. However, I have heard him say many times that we were going over there to fight for the freedom from oppressive government for the people of Iraq. I am sure that you heard that the top man going into Fallujah said the enemy's name was Satan from an incredibly reliable source. That is his job! He has to motivate his men

I don't trust this site any more than any other fanatical site. It has about as much credibility to me as Dan Rather and the CBS news. One thing I did find interesting... I don't understand how they can pray to a God to bring death to someone else. I guess that just goes against everything I have ever understood about religion. I try to be open minded but I just can't link the two. I just don't think God is there to guide my bullets.

I work for a small company. We have about 100 employees. At one point we had a staff of 13. We are and Oil and Gas Exploration and Production company. A few years ago I would have never guessed to move from desktop support to Sys admin. I have locked myself in as furniture around here. (We have a good # of 10+ year employees) We are now a staff of 4 due to changes in the business and our custom accounting system being all but done after 14 years.

First of all ... She is probably going to sue and claim damages that could never be proven. Like, every time I close my eyes I see the brutal cop and his taser of death. I haven't been able to sleep in months and now my baby is an insomniac and has a funny twitch in his big toe. The twitch is causing developmental problem and the other babies at the nursery make fun of him. He is scarred for life. Now that I have ranted ... I think that if the
