Reply to Listening to the arguments on gay marriage in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

"In hindsight, it was probably a bad idea for the government to recognize marriage as anything beyond a civil union. " Herein lies the key to solving the problem. I think we should eliminate the archaic 'Family Court'. All claims filed there are capable of civil remedy by other Courts. The kid tried for crime there is either guilty of crime or not, forget all the subtle differences. He sits in a cell like an adult if he is punished. We can still expunge the record at 18.

It is interesting that the post here has an identical titile to one I put up as to Richard Perle and the American Heritage Institute. That post held that the "neo-Conservative" claimants are actually reject Democrats who have attached themselves to vice-President Richard Cheney and by this tactic, insinuated themselves into postions of influence in this Administration to carry out a pro-Zionist agenda using our sons and daughters to die for Isra

I read comments of nonsensical nature in reply to some of my blogs. It goes with the territory. Brad has an interest in censoring such profanity from the site lest it be taken over as a child's message board and reduced to a level we do not have an interest in. Calling the owner a kike ought to be grounds for it. It would be held up under any review of claim of illegal censorship. Hell, Brad could probably sic the Feds on him for that comment

Reply to Drugging America To Death in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

Thanks for the reply. If one examines the contributions to the Party then observes how the Citizenry are being FORCED to take vaccines, the conclusion is that it is fascism. Whether or not the vaccine is useful, the un-alienable right to life is affected if the rate of death is 80 times the advertised rate by the CDC. I don't find a RIGHT of government to force vaccinations at tax payer expense on tax payers. It is not just unconstitutional, it is unconscionable to make this holding. Even a

Secular - Of or relating to worldly things as distinguished from things relating to religion. Not sacred or religious. [Source: Webster's New World Dictionary] "You can shilly-shally around this issue all you like but it’s very simple – any state which is not secular discriminates against those who don’t share the state religion. No-one should ever accept anything other than first-class citizenship." This is not the way we Americans vie

Reply to Excuse Number 372: It Was All The Spooks' Fault in International JoeUser Forums

This is a sad abuse of tragedy to manipulate public opinion, and that is as far as history will get on it I think. I read a in-depth review of the O'neill book (not by him) in which he says it was a done deal with Perle, Rumsfeld, and Cheney feeding the select intelligence to a man he holds as essentially a pawn. They run this President and he does as told. No one has accused Jr. of being intelligent or discerning in his actions. A review of

I won't continue to post as I am now a converted chaotic neutral. I do want to say, I do find my statement on poverty to be un-justifiably written. For this assumptive statement, I apologize Brad. I never thought of it as it appears now that I read it, and it has served to detract from my larger point because of it. I should have said Kerry has no idea about the poor any more than Bush, or left it out entirely. I just did not want my reply to insinuate I was a Democrat, but rather, tha

Reply to Organizing the categories & topics of JoeUser in Work Reports JoeUser Forums

How about 'sex'? If you don't accomodate third-party people - and we have a few - it won't work due to them muddling up the categories, whether intentionally or by accident. At least give us a margin so we can say we are marginalized here. In the grand scheme of things, separating the thoughts politically tends to enforce ignorance of other options and let's one stay ignorant of those other points of view they have to wrestle with as it is now. I guess if a Dem. or Rep. is only comfortable wi

Reply to Deciphering Crop Circles in Misc JoeUser Forums

It would be an explanation for all that followed. I read people who are making real good money by telling people that reptoid aliens sleep with them and then, while having a smoke afterwards, reveal prophecy of mankinds future. It is sad the things people fall for. These crop circles are getting incredibly complex though, some covering acres of land. There has to be a device used more efficient than the boards used by the men such as you mention though. The light orb I saw was behaving as i

o.k. Fair enough. I guess maybe we're in the same boat on that. I get accused of being the 'L' word all the time. Maybe I am in some areas. I just don't think of myself in that way. I always thought you to be a strong and vocal advocate for Republicans. I may be wrong to apply the labels I don't like applied to me. If so, I will refrain form it as best I can in the future, my fellow independent. You do bring a posse of ranting one sentence Republicans with you to blogs though, you

Deciphering Crop Circles in Misc JoeUser Forums

Crop circles are a very strange phenomenon. I know of no precedent that gave rise to it. I have seen a video of a light in a field filmed by a person in England which hovered over the crops and was moving down the field. Then, as if it saw him filming, it just floated back at increasing speed and disappeared over the opposite hill. I asked myself what I just saw. Was it filmed on purpose to show the thingy that is used to make them? Was it a real chance filming of a crop circle maker?

Great topic. I don't know about free-will and its' relation to freedom of action though.

Hey! let me see, let me see. I won't even go there but take your word for it. I hope someone gets wrung up for it, as you know kids saw it too. If it messes up adults, think of what it does to kids. I once came home and found a babysitter watching some Freddy crap on the vcr with my kids. Out the door he went, and I spent months helping them integrate the scenes in their disturbed evenings. Peace of mind is not something to mess with.

How did he know? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I am sitting in my living room watching the tellie last night and today, and heard of the ricin mailing to the Republican leader. I heard him say it was ricin. I heard him describe the contents he saw as a 'white powder'. Now this thought has been bugging me all day, and I hope it develops to have a reasonable explanation: How did he know it was ricin and not anthrax? Before it was even tested he knew it was ricin. How did he know? Any information to explain this is greatly appreciated.

There you go again, throwing hand-grenades at crowds to get at the one guy who wronged you (and some Democrat must have really wronged you at some point to be so neurotic about it all the time). Your broad brush strokes on history are done to hide truth in generalities. If you ask a Confederate why he fought, you would just as likely get a telling of the evil'Federalism' which the Republicans were forcing on Sovereign States. Lincoln, the Repu

ABC News Radio, July 8, 1947, in History JoeUser Forums

The most famous incident of U.F.O. sighting is the one at Roswell in 1947. We have not had the benefit of historical context to judge it for the most part. The movies on the 'crash' at Roswell and controversial recollections of witnesses, has caused not a little doubt of its veracity. Now there is a new development which may turn the tables on the 'anti' school. There is a audio tape alleging to be a recording of a news broadcast by the famous, Taylor Grant of, 'Headline Edition' that has s

I sometimes forget how the Brits are struggling with your own false leaders. I watched by cam in Trafalgar square as London let Bush know how they felt about his foreign policy. It was funny for me to watch the crowds and all the gesticulations he had to go through to escape the mobs while the 'controlled-media' here told us nothing had happened unusual at all, and his poll numbers were up. On one occassion he had to be raced out a back door as the protest turned the corner. Of cour

ATHEISTS OF THE WORLD DIS-BAND in Blogging JoeUser Forums

In response to the popular blog on atheism, here's one of an atheist who found out he was wrong to believe only what was before his seeing eyes while awake. I don't get upset at atheists, or the lowly fence-sitting agnostics, I pity them. God just doesn't choose for some to be wise and so refuses to give them spiritual insight into the true self - their own eternal soul. Lucky for this guy, God saw fit to show him the error of his ways and he is now trying to speak out for other atheists to a

Reply to The WalMart Experience in Misc JoeUser Forums

Thanks for the timely blog. Wal-mart is insidious and there are efforts being made all over the country to stop their encroachment. Years ago, I encountered a town that was being destroyed by NAFTA and GATT and seeking desperately for ways to bring business to the town. The genius politicians came up with inviting Wal-Mart to open a store there. I called the show he was on and advised against it as Wal-Mart did not produce wealth or any products at all. It serves to draw off all retail sale
