Gid, I agree. What's annoying to me is her social status and wealth don't equate to being emotionally healthy and well balanced, it means celebrity distortion.

Reply to WHY IS THE MOSLEM WORLD SEETHING WITH RAGE in Politics JoeUser Forums

Bahu states: The cartoon showed the Prophet wearing a bomb in his turban. Out of respect, it's not right to mock any religious idol regardless of motive. Moreover, no religious idol has ever been responsible for blood letting or war. Only in recent years has the Muslim religion stepped into the public eye bringing underlying motive out into question

Reply to The Rolling Stones Have Gathered Moss in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Yes, I am sorry to say what I watched although briefly, was nothing more then some aging rockers thinking they still have it.... well they don't. All the folks surrounding them were screened, had to be 35 or less and allowed in free if willing to stand in the tunnels doing nothing until the RS's half time performance. Afterwards, I understand they got to watch the last half. What a misleading joke.

Yeah, I'm sure they are impatiently waiting in the on-deck circle. Not far from reality. Believe it or not there are many business leaders in each party that are waiting for the right time to step up so their contributions will not go unnoticed by the The White House.

Heard about parties like this. To my surprise while participating in one stage of a progressive dinner at my buddies home, his wife (babe A+) started showing some tantalizing lingerie items to the women. I asked what's going on? Come to find out she was a regional manager for a company that markets such items to a range of stores, including high end lingerie to some major chain stores. I often liked wondering where Victoria Secret got their merch

Parenting a teen is NOT as easy as I thought it would be, and it scares me to think that it's going to get worse than this. It's going to be a learning experience for everyone involved, I think. My wife manages 9 adolescent girls at her live in facility and often says, am I glad for a boy. We have one

And what "regional backdoor influences" are in play, and how are they "dealing" with the concerns Iran presents? Experience has taught me that theorizing and conjecture never has all the facts and options. That's only understood when leadership is taken over those subjects bringing access to new info

What "work" do we need to do at home? Our culture has been taking a turn for the worse on many levels, as exampled by articles on JU. One that looms large in my estimation is our countries priorities, out of control budgets on many levels, and the polarization among people in how to move our country fo

Reply to Does God Exist? in Religion JoeUser Forums

I believe that 'proof' that God exists would nullify the need for faith. Astute observation, of which I concur. Faith has greater value to man verses knowing fact in many cases. Believing in a greater spirit helps me stay the line of over coming my imperfections. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="9

I had no clue about "Boys" Don't Cry" until I read your article. Did a search and learned JoAnn Brandon, Teena's mother, was upset that the filmmakers failed to talk with her or explain that for several years when Teena was a young girl, Teena had been sexually molested by a man. JoAnn said that Teena sought counseling in 1991, and began to dress in men's clothing and date women as a defense strategy. "She pretended she was a man so no other man could

I happen to disagree at this juncture. We need to finish our challenges in Iraq and do some work at home. The concerns Iran presents are being dealt with through regional backdoor influences.

you've seen way too many movies as it is if you truly buy into that vision of the american west of the 19th century. First off I was lead to believe the movie wasn't about cowboys in the 1800's.

It's getting myself out of that way of thinking, and just as importantly, setting safeguards so that I won't fall prey to media and societal pressure and go buy buy buy again.

I live in the general vicinity where that took place. There were two men in a corvette doing over 100mph in a residential neighborhood. After a short chase resulting in the corvette crashing into a wall, both men were laying on the ground supposedly following orders given my the officer that pursued them. Where the confusion begins is supposedly one told the officer he was in the services and asked for permission to get up, the police officer told h

They are under no moral obligation to deal with any government purely because it has been endorsed by its people. However, to ostracise Hamas is flawed, both morally and politically.

I don't loose my temper. However, after last evening public antics, just the thought of H.Clinton and her ill-mannered and morally bankrupt playmates leading our great nation is enough motivation for me to up the party donation ante.

I just bestowed upon you an "insightful".... Thanks for further clarification. Ugly and traditional Democrat. Raise taxes to spend more money for " services " (his big word last night). Spend all that's in the budget then raise taxes again without concern for down stream consequences. It would be interesting to know where his personal income has come from and or going to? That's how California got into trouble some years back

A lot of people make the case that Bush was a buffoon in the past as well I think the sources that would imply such about GWB are likely life long uninformed politicians.

I watched the entire Address with my wife and 14 yr old son last evening. It was superior compared to George W. Bush’s last. However, there was one moment that stood out over all the commendable content, when he read a piece of a letter written by a Marine Sgt before his recent death in Iraq. GW kept glancing up into the gallery at a young woman and what appeared to be parents setting beside her. At one point G.W.B started tearing up then the longe
