[quote]My understanding is she was actually ahead before this final round. I cannot say for certain but that's what I've read.[/quote] So far as I know she was trailing, but who knows.
[quote]All this shows is there is a correct and incorrect answer, your opinion doesn't matter, unless it's the correct one. This is the college education most parents are paying for today, your replicating your kids professors ideas into your children. If you speak with most educators, they know everything, just ask one. They know what is best for your kids. Just like Pavlov's dog's.... your kids will bark the party talking points at the sound of the bell. Talk about brainwashing. Don't belie
[quote]What most others? Last I checked some places allow for gay mariages but others voted against it. I have not seen any evidence that would say most people are in favor of gay mariages, I could be wrong though.[/quote] There are certainly those who are in favor; evidence; my experience in (pro) same sex marriage activism. [quote]And that's your right. Should you be punished for it though? She was asked a question and gave an honest answer, sho
[quote]Funny for a nation whose focus is rights and individual freedoms there are so many still hung up on the idea of gay marriage just because some ol' book says a couple things about it. [/quote] Indeed.
[quote]Wow! I guess I wasn't far off was I? I now can understand why you are a bit mixed up spiritually speaking. It makes total sense. Your father didn't do you any favors as the role model and should be spiritual head of his family. You are totally going in a direction that makes total sense. Just know that I was raised Catholic, and later became both a JW and a Mormon for a while. If anyone understands, I do. [/quote] To a degree, perha
I disagree completely with what she said, and find it slightly unfortunate; however, I commend her for being honest, even though I, and most others, disagree. ~Alderic
[quote]As I said (and you chose to ignore), China is far from perfect. I'm aware of Tibet, and would like them to be independent. I'd also like to see Taiwan be recognized as an independent country. I think I have a little more insight on the matter, than your assumed "tourist's insight" reference would infer. Sure I've been there. Got met and married my wife there in fact and experience their bureaucracy first hand. My wife lived there 48 of her 49 years, She went through the Cultural Revolu
[quote]that is a good question kfc but i dont think you were being sarcastic... swearing over a bible makes no sense at all because you have no idea if the person is actually chrisitan... and if you did, or if they refused, then it creates an environment of religious tension. Starting a court case by asking the witnesses to either lie about being christian or make a fuss about being a different religion that the jury is not a wise thing.[/quote] Not only that, but if yo
[quote]sure. I've never had trouble giving praise where praise is due. But with Obama, I'm not seeing too much these days to praise. Personally, he seems like a nice guy, and a nice husband and father. That's about it for me. The Dems? Are you kidding me? Even the Dems I know aren't very happy these days. They don't even like Obama and the few I know are kicking themselves for voting for him. [/quote] Alright. [quote]So if th
[quote]wow! I'm thinking you either grew up Catholic, Mormon or very very evangelical. [/quote] Heh, there is Catholicism on my mom's side, and Jehovahs Witness/Mormanism on my dad's side; however, all but two of the siblings are from my biological father's side and the women he was with other than my mother; the remaining two are from my mother. I've also got seven adopted siblings, and there are also some people on my biological father's side that are in question as
[quote]You give a passionate plea to be liked....then, in the same post say "To each their own". [/quote] >_> I'm concerned about our nation's image, but... (and re-read this if needed), I would not be hesitant to agree with a show of force. It would be unfortunate, because I do not like violence or other aggressive acts, but I realize that not always can we communicate with other nations, etc. You get what I'm saying? It's pretty damn simpl
Speaking of, since I believe the topic of faults and such was mentioned in this threa. Since you want people to admit faults of Obama, instead of propping him up. Then lets make a deal: I'll make my criticism of Obama as well as Democrats, more vocal, if you'll start giving the occasional praise toward him and Democrats (as well as criticizign Republicans). Deal? ~Alderic
[quote]China, for all its faults, is no where near socialist. At least not in the sense the US is heading. There are no government health system, there are no entitlement programs. I'm sure there is graft and corruption, and it might be near the amount that is in the US. If a criminal is caught, he/she can expect harsh punishment for their actions. True you can't vote, but the government is not in your face with their hand out either. Religion could be a problem, due to lack of facilities, I'
[quote]Am in Wyoming at the moment, been offline for several days due to a lack of free wifi access. Currently sitting and watching it snow. Just delivered my load this morning and waiting for something to get me out of here.[/quote] Where abouts in Wyoming? I've got family in Cody and just a few miles north of Cheyenne. ~Alderic
[quote who="Zoologist03" comment="4"] There are computer models that offer projections based on different scenarios. I think they're probably somewhere on the IPCC website. I honestly wish politics would leave science the hell alone, though. ~Zoo [/quote] I second that.
[quote]...unless of course they PCS.[/quote] PCS? [quote]Wow. That's a lot of kids in that little townhouse...heh. Maybe they should move off base, or try and get a bigger place once the baby comes...unless of course they PCS. Congrats! [/quote] I agree, it reminds me of how things are going to be when (hopefully) my siblings, aunts/uncles and other family get together for
[quote]The same goes for Obama. This is not a bash Obama fest. We are merely pointing out what we believe he is doing wrong but it's a bit frustrating to have people find excuses for these things rather than admit it is wrong or at least point as to why it's not[/quote] I agree, comments without substance are worthless. [quote]The bow for example. Many here claimed it was no big deal, Aisians do it all the time. However Asians do it to "each other
[quote]It's one thing to admit fault, it's another to go out there telling other people how stupid you are. I admit to my mistakes, but I don't tell people who stupid I am for making mistakes. Obama was not voted in to apologize to the world for us.[/quote] Hmm, I don't really view it as saying we're stupid. Though at times we can be, lol. Obama was voted in to set us back on track, and internationally, we need to definitely get back on track. With the comment:
[quote]Maybe instead of posting something that came off as a "defense in question" of Obama, perhaps you could have stated something along the lines of "That was wrong of him". This is the reason there are so many argumemts, not debates, about Obama and the way he is doing things. because those who defend him will not except he has made a mistake, an error, a bad choice or move and instead fight back with "but Bush" or "give me a break" or "he didn't do that". Bush was bashed for 8 years for
[quote who="KarmaGirl" reply="21" id="2148091"] What is strange is that on all of mine there are five points, and in other sources I've read state that the star is five pointed.Maybe someone somewhere had a major glitch, but that's what I had to work with. The stars are 5 pointed, but they create a 6 pointed star in formation. However, I have a feeling that it has more to do with the Freemason's designing the bill than it has to do with any Jewish roots.  
[quote]But remember we have to think really really hard for girl's names. Since she'll be born maybe in December Holly would be nice! Well of course we don't know the sex yet.......I can always hope this third time is a charm. Otherwise they're just going to have to have a fourth......[/quote] True, I've always wanted to name my first girl Summer Rae (or Autumn) Elizabeth, and my first boy: Aiden Charles, or Benjamin Ryan. Mostly due to family connections.
[quote who="KFC Kickin For Christ" reply="4" id="2148079"] Obama was to bring change He can keep his change. I don't want it. In the end Obama is either not Christian, or he his actions are dictated by his faith, which in the end means that the people affected by his actions are also being affected by a religion they may not believe in. That's what I'm saying. This sounds not like how a Christian is to act. I'm not sure what Obama
[quote]So 6 is no big deal? And here I thought Obama was to bring change to our Gov't. I continue to be amazed as to how people will give Obama a pass at anything. BTW, when someone says "not to be" that usually means they are. Just like when someone says "I don't mean to insult but", but that is exactly what they are doing and that is why they said that. You can't say something insulting and claim not to be insulting just like you cant say something to kiss Obama's but and claim not to be ki
[quote]It is extremely ironic that china and russia are advising us to be less socialist and more capitalistic.[/quote] I know, that is really ironic. I couldn't help but just start laughing when I heard that. Btw, not to be an Obama ass kisser as Charles claimed I was, but I was browsing Politifact, and found that according to them - of the promises Obama made (or at least the ones they're keeping track of) - he's only broken 6. Does anyone have anot
Congrats on the grandchild! :D I'm definitely not old enough to be a grandparent yet, but I can understand what it can feel like to have that grandchild (or in my case, nieces) in your arms.It's a great feeling. ~Alderic P.S. I always thought the name Carter James was good.
