I have taken her off, and then a while later I put her back on. And then I stopped carrying that I should take her off if I wanted to move on with my life, so she's still there. 3 years might be too long, but it will be 5 in about a month (assuming I can count of course).

Reply to The Unexplained in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

Which is the more rational explaination: that there are things that are currently beyond human understanding, or denying what your senses are telling you? Is just good your visitors didn't have hostile intents (or if they did those intents weren't matched with actions).

Sounds like your glad he's home Although, I do have to wonder how much more his shopping will cost, both from a financial and health standpoint. But then again, you only live once, might as well enjoy it

Reply to CPS and the US Constitution in Politics JoeUser Forums

I think I agree with everything you said here. And to paraphrase (because I like paraphrasing): Constitution is the starting point for our laws, CPS ignores the constitution, CPS is bad (maybe not all of the time, but way too often). Now on to the bit where we seem to be disagreeing/miscommunicating: anonymous reporters. If the anonymous report is used as evidence, then they are a witness, and yes, accused should be able to face them. But an an

Reply to Are Social Taboos Really Necessary? in Life JoeUser Forums

I generally consider taboos useful. Yes, there are silly ones as well, and maybe those should go. But at the absolute least taboos will give the group of people something in common. I'll take public smoking as an example. I think it should be taboo because the person sitting next to you is smoking as well, whether they want to or not. Sure, they could get up and walk away, at least in theory, but if your both out in a public place any one persons

Reply to End Anonymous CPS Reporting! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

You say anonymous reporting is bad, and I can respect your opinion on that, even if I disagree. I havn't had to deal with CPS at any point in my life, and you say you have which should give you a better perspective on this matter then I have. It sounds to me like CPS is fundementally flawed, either in design or function. And those flaws are the problem, not the anonymous reporting. Removing the reporting might be a quick fix, but it certainly sound

Reply to End Anonymous CPS Reporting! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one, I think being able to anonymously report is a good thing. I don't think thing the anonymous report should stand on it's own though. It should cause the CPS to go and see if there is anything bad going on and act appropriatly. With the whole innocent until proven guilty thing, anonymous calls are not proof and should not be used as such. If I call the police and anonymously report that my neighbor

Sounds like a way to deal with the recycling troubles. Although, might it be easier to bring the blue box inside so others can't use yours? Then only put it out on recycling day.

I use instant messaging software, which some of you already know. I use trillian , because it lets me be on aim, yahoo, msn, and irc with just one client (not icq because I got way too much spam there). And I have a list of people on my messenger, imagine that. Now most of these pe

Reply to The Patriot Act: Bigger, Better & Uncut in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Well if we're going to become a police state, might as well jump in at the deep end, none of this slippery slope nonsense. Running long jump over the cliff, without a bungee cord all the way to the bottom. But apart from that, I think the patriot act and all that stuff is bad. Checks and balances good, secret police bad.
