Reply to I can't have racist friends? in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Your sister seems right in this case. Your friend thinks there are places that you niece and your sister's fella shouldn't go due to skin color. He said 'People like him' but he meant 'Him and your niece'. And by default, your sister too, since she would probably be with them. Members of your family, disallowed from certain places. When it's put like that, I'd rather hit him than be his friend. Of course, he was never MY friend...

Reply to WHY? Damn it! WHY do women do this? in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

That's the truth though. Women are wired differently. The problem is not the real issue for them. Their feelings about the problem is the issue. So you can keep expecting this kind of thing to happen. ( I read about this in a book written by men, so I didn't have to listen to a woman to learn it)

Big Brother Home Game? in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Big Brother is a reality TV show. I like to think of them as today's game shows, myself. They have play at home games for those, so why not play at home survivor or Big Brother? There are a couple problems with the setup, though. After all, once you are evicted, that's the end of the game for you. Also, keeping people locked in your house for 13 weeks is

I'm quite monogamous at the moment, and wouldn't have it any other way. Apology accepted. After all, I can't understand half of what I write anyway, never mind getting others to understand.

I hope she write it the way it was intended. I want him to live, but why should she give the fans what they want? She is the writer. Anyway, she isn't killing off the character... the progression of the story is. It might not even be Harry. Why is everyone so up in arms about it? It's a book...

Reply to Forensic Accounting in Business JoeUser Forums

Tax accounting bores me to tears. I can't even schedule out a 1040 at work without wanting to cry. So I guess I will continue to write interesting tidbits, and humorous helpful tips. I have such big plans, heh.

Reply to Forensic Accounting in Business JoeUser Forums

It is more interesting than regular accounting. It's hard to explain without going into specifics, though. I don't mind writing articles very few people want to read, but I would hate to waste time with articles no-one wants to read.

Forensic Accounting in Business JoeUser Forums

I am currently working for a forensic accounting firm. Now, when most people hear the word 'forensic' they think crime and CSI and all that. Well, forensic accounting seems to have very little to do with all of that. I have yet to come across a criminal case. Mostly, forensic accountants are hired by lawyers and insurance agencies to calculate lost wage and busine

Because it's hard, we SHOULD do it. I meant to say, good luck to all US monogamy fans.

Reply to Liberals, circa 1967 vs Liberals, circa 2006 in Misc JoeUser Forums

The truly wealthy would just buy their way out of the draft anyway, and we'd end up with more poor people. Except, now these poor people didn't want to be in the armed forces. Anyway, if you want richer people in the armed forces, why not just pass a law increasing their pay?

Reply to Why is Joe User the best source for information? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Gid- I just had a kid, we had state health care and WIC for him, and we plan to homeschool. DCYF could be here any minute. *peers through blinds* Anyway, it's true. Spin and counter-spin will give you all the news, instead of just the news that makes certain people look bad(or good). So it gives you a better perspective on everything. And it's all in one place. Other places, I could go through everything and still not find anything po

Why is Joe User the best source for information? in Misc JoeUser Forums

If I happen to know about a current event, I probably heard about it on Joe User. I can log on and read about whatever I want, on my own time table. I don't have to worry too much about slanted news stories, because I know they're here. But I can just read the comments and hear the other side, as long as the poster isn't one who deletes everything of an opposite vi

Reply to Does Monogamy Work? in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

If you want to say other people might feel differently, and be able to live in polyamory, you can go ahead and say that all year long, but I wouldn't even believe it if you had one to show me. It's a lie. Even economic principal says the more of something you have, the less use it is to you. Pretty soon, society IS going to start trying to break down those barriers that monogamy is hiding behind. It's harder than ever to be monogamous, an

Reply to Fairy Tales or Lies? in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I believe the fairy tales were written to either mirror or replace the real story: God sending the Prince of Peace to save us from the tower of sin. Of course, the dream to be the princess or the prince is just as real for our relationships with our spouses as it is for our relationship with God. So it's not really a lie, and God does offer happily ever after. Your right, though. Worldly life doesn't have happily ever after, and it will al

Reply to Does Monogamy Work? in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Everyone wants to be somebody special. Monogamy says, "You are that special person in my life." Polyamory says, "You're not special enough. I need someone else, too." I agree with pictoratus. The participants fail. One of the problems is that men feel the need to prove themselves pretty much all the time. So we go to work, and we be cool and maybe flirt a little with the attractive secretary. No big deal, we can handle it. But the prob

Softball Season is Here! in Baseball JoeUser Forums

So, softball season is once again upon us. I play in a christian softball league. There are 16 teams this year, and 15 different churches. The church I attend has two teams in the league, because it's quite a large church and has a lot of good softball players. So far we have played 5 games. Games are played every Monday night. Currently we are 2-3. The

Ow, my aching back in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

So, something has gone wrong with my body. My back is killing me, a pain that starts at my very lowest point that can still be called a back and running all the way down my left leg. Ow ow ow. It hurts to get up, to roll over, but I can walk once I'm up. I can do what I normally do, it's just getting from one position to the other that's a pain in the ... back. I

The fact there was a report no-one bothered to read from the risk department detailing the potential for Enron to collapse exactly as it did (minus a few extra collapsy thing that were kept from the risk assessment team) makes me feel that it could have been prevented, and should have been prevented. The report he did commission said that Enron could survive a global disaster. Of course, he didn't care whether Enron could survive its credit rating be

Reply to CEO's and Supply/Demand in Current Events JoeUser Forums

CEOs are always on call. Most have to be ready to travel at a moment's notice. Their time is no longer their own. They have to manage the entire business, and are responsible for everything that goes on. Yeah, CEOs should get paid more than the factory workers. They're doing even more work than the factory workers.

I agree with IanTyger. Urk? Also, Brad's blogging is always a must read, and I hope it continues to be so.

Absolutely! She actually got a job, and that just did NOT go well. Every night she felt incredibly guilty for not being with the baby... so she quit, and I got a job tutoring again, and now I have to quit with no notice. But, it's an amazing opportunity, and I didn't have too many appointments past today so it should all work out!
