Due to the many injuries I have suffered in my life, broken bones, gunshot wounds, {one of them 1 and 1/2 inch from my spine} one shattered my right elbow, one shattered my right shin bone and one broke my right thigh bone; as I have aged I have been in considerable pain and my Dr. decided to put me on morphine therapy six years ago. Due to my drug use years ago I had built up quite a tolerance to opium of all kinds {that would include morphine} so the dose he built me up to is v

[quote who="CharlesCS" comment="6"]Time and again articles like this one prove my point that the people of this country have forgotten what it is to fight for what is right. Instead they fight for what is best for themselves. We may as well stop calling ourselves United States since in today’s world we are no longer united. We should call ourselves OUSA (Once United, States of America).Once upon a time people fought and many gave their lives to make this the best country in the world; n

[quote who="Locamama" comment="3"]As a Democrat (maybe former) I have been extremely disappointed with the amount that this congress has gotten accomplished. I really think the only thing that they accomplished was getting the minimum wage raised. The Declaration of Independence thing is stupid. That is our history. I thought that the objection was going to be the part of "endowed by our Creator" but no, it's because at the time of the Declaration those words only appli

It was 2006 that the entire Congress fell into the hands of the Democrats. They said they were going to do something to lower gas prices. I am still waiting. Since then it doesn't seem that the Congress has National Defense Strategy Either. They have nearly convinced most Americans that what we need to do is "bring home the troops" and to withdraw "no matter what the cost". To such politicians, including a few Republicans {the finger in the wind ones} National Security seems t

[quote who="Azzizi" comment="7"](I also fail at proofreading my comments. I mssed a couple of typo mistakes here and there. Such happens. The most glaring one is that I chose a semi-colon as a stylistic choice.)[/quote] I noticed the errors and personally hate spelling and grammar Nazis so mistakes made on this blogsite are safe.

[quote who="Azzizi" comment="6"]I realize this is a humor article, but... well, okay, I think the questions are asked often enough seriously to warrant answer. I'm NOT a linguist or English major, but this is what I've picked up over a lifetime of using and learning about it as a native speaker:1. English is a strange hybrid langauage, in that where most languages have a single 'root language'-- like Spanish and French are latin-based-- English is based on both Latin and Germanic roots. This

[quote who="Texas Wahine" comment="1"]I'm guessing someone is going to have a slick, correct answer for your questions. I have been out of college too long to answer with confidence.A lot of the grammar stuff I can't explain why or tell you when it's right or wrong, I just know. Other stuff I think I know, but get it wrong all the time. Haha.A colon looks like a semi colon, IMO. LOL. Ok, maybe more like a comma. [/quote] O I C ! Or maybe I don't

The rules of English are mush like the rules of a bar fight, there are no hard and fast rules as far as I can tell. I before E except after C, but this has exceptions. How am I to know? As for Know the word itself, why is the K silent? and if it is silent why is Know not pronounced like NOW? Who made up these rules? I want to know, now! When does someone use a semi colon? or a colon? and who named a colon after a body part? When do you capitalize a word in the middle o

[quote who="cityguy" comment="66"]I would have no idea, but after even two such "performances" would be enough for a man of G-d to say "see ya!" and look for another church.Sure, but I think it's unfair (and easily untrue) to think that this was every Sunday or even the majority of Sundays for 20 years. In the Chicagoland area, Wright was known for his congregations community service. It has been said that the KKK does community service, but are they known for that?I digress. This issue

[quote who="cityguy" comment="63"]I can appreciate you defending Hussien, but come on now, the Trinity United just did not suddenly turn into a racist church over night.Sure, but was it that way outwardly?

[quote who="cityguy" comment="53"]If a church is preaching heresy you shouldn't need 20 years to figure this out. Usually a few months will suffice. Then you have the decision to make. Do I stay because I like the people and enjoy the friendships or do I leave because I'm contributing to..in this case a "hate filled" atmosphere from the very top? This preacher just didn't start ranting and raving. This church has a racist history behind it, so it's not brand new. It's only coming to the foref

[quote who="OckhamsRazor" comment="57"]Isn't church for the fellowship and gathering of believers?On rare occasions. But it's the exception, not the rule, in my experience. [/quote] My ex-wife invited me to attend church several times whikle she was looking for a church to belong to. I agree with you ock the few churches I experenced were more about gossip than fellowship, and do as I {the Preacher} says not as he does!, in essence I agree with your point.

[quote who="Jythier" comment="55"]Black people x.White people x.As soon as you make a statement, you're wrong. Because not ALL blacks hate ALL whites, some hate MOST whites, some whites hate MOST blacks, etc. The real question is, can a black person get away with hating white people just because they're white? Can a white person get away with hating black people just because they're black?I think this church itself is still getting away with it, even if Obama can't. Mention you belong to it t
