Hahahaha. Be careful, many of us here have old hard drives, towers, and misc hardware laying about, and you just might end up with a second (and second-hand) computer, cobbled together from old parts. Would it surprise you to know it's happened before on JU? Several times LOL This place really is incredible!! Really though, you guys should probably save your computers for someone who really needs it. One qu

Reply to If you could replace 1 body part- which one? in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

ooo I don't know if I know you guys that well... While I don't morally opposed enhancements etc. for other people, I would probably never do it myself, even if I could, but... IF I were to do anything there is really only one part of my body I would change, my breasts. There, it's out, are you happy??

My husband and I own one lap top. That’s it. We don’t have a desktop, in fact never have. One, single lap top. It hasn’t always been this way, but circumstances changed…now we have to share !! Oh the horror! We are usually very courteous about it. Obviously work or school trumps playing around. “I need to finish my paper for class tomorrow swe

I don't know since I'm not a doctor, but it seems like that would rather dangerous since their bodies are far from being done growing and changing. Personally I think a better choice would be to teach them good eating and exercising habits and then let them make the decision when they are older. Of course teens are awfully cruel to the overweight...

Has it ever occurred to you that you are, at this very second, exactly where you belong? Do you not trust God to put you precisely where you ought to be at this moment in time? Yes and no. I believe that and in some ways I know why we are physically where we are. But right now all I am doing is sitting around at home playing online. And as much as I have loved JU so far, it isn't really purpose giving. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/ju/T_JU

Reply to Why Do We Fall? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Of the things we cannot change, or at least, of the things I cannot change! I'm learning to roll with the punches, go with the flow so to speak! It's much better to trust in God and let what you can't do anything about just happen as naturally as they are supposed to! Agreed? It makes my life so much better and run a lot less bumpy! Last year at my job we were assigned to read "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." I was interested as I have seen th

Reply to Racism at the BET Block Party in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I believe Africans would embrace American Africans, proudly share their heritage with their American brothers and sisters, and take pride in knowing their culture will not be pushed aside just because he/she lives on another continent. "African-Americans" have their own culture and language and it is as varied as the communities across the United States. Then, of course, we have Americans...the community without the need to differentiate oneself based upon skin co

Reply to I want to be BEAUTIFUL in Life JoeUser Forums

When a woman reaches the point in her life (and many never do) where she is no longer dependent on the opinion of others, when she is able to recognize her self-worth without arrogance, when she can forgive herself her own shortcomings as easily as she forgives others theirs, that's when she becomes truly beautiful, and that radiance shines through any and every permutation of physical attractiveness or lack thereof. I guess that is where I am trying to

I am not Japanese-American. I am an American Japanese. There is a huge difference. I am not trying to be separate, unique and different from other Americans. I am an American. I think that was the point, if I didn't understand it before. The Africans are offended by the term "African-American" because these people aren't even remotely African. They have a culture all their own. Am I right?

PS, good grief, my apologies for that mini-book response No need to apologize! I really appreciated your response. What you said meant a lot. And somehow knowing that others struggle with the same thing is sometimes enough. I am actually in the process of reading several books on this subject and will probably end up writing a lot more about this...I would love to continue to have your input!

Reply to Racism at the BET Block Party in Current Events JoeUser Forums

In Ockhams defense, the first part of his article is very true, the African-Americans I know in the States are nothing like the actual Africans I met in Italy. But Kingbee's comment is also very true, are any of the (insert nationality here)-Americans much like their native counterparts? I always find it interesting when someone in the States tries to claim they know about Italians because they met some third generation Italian American...or that an Italian restaurant is "authentic" be

Reply to Are Successful Adults Socially Obligated to Have Children? in Parenting JoeUser Forums

There are too many people having children who don't want them and therefore don't take care of them. I would much rather someone choose not to have children than to have them and then neglect them. The important thing is that we all respect each others' decisions. Of course there is always the chance that we will reach a declining populations growth...but I'm pretty sure we have a ways to go.

the men of the world can sit back relax and “raise the children” as women have been doing since the beginning of time. Right, because raising the children is a relaxing job! For centuries man has debated, not on how to treat a woman of favor, who our mothers have always taught to treat with respect and honor, but instead with how to deal them. Which we know isn’t always a fine walk on the walk-way of heaven. </d
