Reply to pack a lunch- don't worry too much about fuel prices in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Karma: I love it when you have blogs containing math. Maybe it's just envy but you rock, sister! As far as gas prices go, I agree with what you are saying. With a little conservation, this needn't be the crisis it's made out to be. Rather, more people should take a good hard look at how they are currently using fuel and for what purposes. Cutting back the McD's, smokes and caffeine isn't going to be fun, but neither is trying to spend money w

Everyone, Thanks for your kind words and thoughts. My grandmother, seems to be improving from this immediate crisis, but unfortunately has cancer. They don't think that she will be undergoing any further treatment. She just celebrated her 90th birthday a month ago, and has lived a full life. She is being kept comfortable, and thankfully, I will have a chance to visit her tomorrow if all goes well. The kids really don't understand what is

There are literally thousands of books with multiple listings of American Indian policies that state otherwise. Check google and type in Native American genocide for links, or better yet, go ask a professor of almost any college/university that studies the history of US and Native peoples relations. You can check out this link too, and see if it coincides with your idea of what genocide means. <a href="http://isis.csuhayward.edu/ALSS/soc/NAN/dd/6

Very good writing, Dharma. I'd love for you to list the author, and I'd love to say that you have a knack for giving inspiration to more introspection. am I being true to myself?

Reply to New York, 2008, nuclear terrorism in Politics JoeUser Forums

NickyG: The Australian government in the 19th century set out to deliberately exterminate all the aboriginals. They succeeded in Tasmania. There are no native Tasmanians left. So no, the US is not "just as guilty" as Australia. That is not entirely correct. There are native Tasmanians still around, but

Reply to Sweet Tooth Leads To... in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

I can't stand the fact that I have to piss my sister off just to get her to tell me how she really feels about me, and I find it ironic that that's when I like her the best---when she's totally pissed. It's the only time I see her true self. Trin: I really identified with that statement. We've spoke of

Family Sorrows in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I've been blogging for the past couple of days simply because I've been staying at my parents' house and I can't find anything better to do while waiting. I'm trying to divert my attention to what's really going on, but it's impossible. My grandmother has been very sick. She's been in the hospital for the past week, and isn't expected to continue on. She to

Australia, land of successful genocide. So if aboriginals got their hands on a nuclear weapon and nuked Sydney you would do just hard thinking about what you did wrong? I doubt that they would nuke back upon every aboriginal reservation in retaliation... America sure wouldn't because it wouldn't be in t

Reply to I wanna be " Little Miss Popularity" in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I don't comment as often as I used to, only because I no longer have internet use at home and have a limited amount of time using public computers... having said that, I think it really takes awhile for new bloggers to attract attention to the 'older' bloggers. I know that you have been writing for a bit now, and it's great to have you here. I have really enjoyed reading. Nic

I never really thought of reading in that way, you know, reading simply to be cool or whatever.

I agree that you have to be seriously sick in the head to hurt a child or infant. I seriously hope that the people who do these things are suffering from some form of mental illness. To consider a person who has a sense of control be able to do these things is beyond disgusting. I am horrified. <

as a habitual snooze button pusher, I'm fairly skilled at hitting the correct buttons even in the depths of REM.

On the other hand, just as annoying are those who loudly trumpet their country's government 'progress'. I agree with you Karma, but feel that it goes both ways. Or, is it the best they can do to meet the wants and ideals of the majority? The fact that you can't please everyone one, does mean that oth

Reading Posers in Books JoeUser Forums

It's always intrigued me how people come to consider a specific type of writing 'their favorite'. Is it all learned from endless booklists provided from their alma mater? Do they check 'the' top ten list of favorite books and pick the second least pretentious-sounding title or author to hold close to their heart? How many people could spend days in the public libra
