You cant place a totally different Gun subject in with a disease the two are not similar. Actually, there are similarities: MS kills, so do guns. MS frightens people, so do guns. MS causes people to make judgements, so do guns. Well, theres a few anyway.

You cant place a totally different Gun subject in with a disease the two are not similar. No, I never said they were, but the fear is similar. Face it, people cannot be afraid of what they either do not know, or cannot see. That was my point. BTW, your link does not work.

Reply to Question for all parents in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Do you believe you can talk to your children in that way? I aways try to be sypathetic and use a concerned tone when and if my daughter comes to me with severe issues. Always try to look from the perspective of your child, while keeping the authority as a parent. It's best to reason with ch

Reply to People are afraid of what they dont know in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

I find that people can't be afraid of what they don't know. If nobody knows you have MS, they can't be afraid. It's only after you tell them you have MS, this is when the potential for fear emerges. It's similar to how I look at carrying a consealed gun. Most people, if they can see your pistol will make a judgement or become frightened. Oh my, look, that guy has a gun. However, if it's consealed, and nobody can see it, then they are not afrai

Reply to Windows Vista: more upgrade-friendly than people think. in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

I was testing upgrade scenarios yesterday and discovered that XP 32-bit will not upgrade to Vista 64-bit. Upgrading is a crappy way to update your PC. It's always best to simply clean install. You'll be far happier in the end. Clean install on a single disk or dual-boot from a seperate part

...but I can still form early opinions about someone based partly on their race. I never act on those assumptions and they’re quick to be dismissed if unfounded with just some familiarity, but they’re there. Like I said, many of us hold some deep-seated racial prejudice, yet we hate it. It takes constan

Which is worse? to own another human being or to strip them of every shred of human pride they have? Cripes MM, this is almost like voting to me. How does on choose the lessor of two evils? I feel that owning another human being does strip that other humans pride; maybe not all, but a great dea

Reply to Windows Vista: more upgrade-friendly than people think. in Windows Vista JoeUser Forums

Unfortunately reactivating Windows is the least of your worries when performing an upgrade (such as MB, CPU...etc) to your PC under Wuindows. A simple call to MS has always solved that issue for me in a very timely way. When upgrading the major componants of your PC, you need to deal with the HAL, or better known as hal.dll (the Hardware Abstraction Layer). The HAL is a system critical file that helps Windows communicate with the devices on yo

A feature that definitely should be a core feature, and not a half-finished addon. I guess that would have made T-Bird closer to "full-featured". I learned a while back when I first started trying the various email clients out there, that Outlook is pretty much the most full-featured email

The Internet Helped Me Unlearn My Prejudicial Thinking in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Growing up in a middle-class neighborhood in New England, I was pretty much sheltered from non-white people. In fact, the only Black, Asian, or Indians I ever really knew is what I saw on the television, or saw driving through the city – until one day. My parents always watched the news, and we kids had to suffer through it for a half a hour before we could

Reply to No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted... in Misc JoeUser Forums

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It follows only individual "rules", so how can it be distorted? Are you meaning to say that because something I see as beautiful may not be or that my perception is distorted, simply because you dont agree? The final product was a graphic; nothing more, and nothing less. The artists started with a base, the model, and went to work crafting their graphic. Now concerning the clip: Since I do not

No one in Dallas expected two graduating seniors to be arrested for serving marijuana laced brownies to the Lake Highlands High School teacher staff.
