I agree with the sentiment, but where do you draw the line? Who's a celebrity and who isn't? What about public figures? For example: Let's say Monica Lewinsky charged Bill Clinton with rape, and for the sake of the example let's not assume it was or was not true. Bill Clinton, at the time, is President of the United States. This type of charge reflects on him as (a) a person, (b) as president and "leader of the free world," and (c) on the qual

I am an Excel Goddess. Today I was given an assignment; I turned it into a piece of art, with graphs, multiple spreadsheets, pretty colors and various and sundry dotted lines, and--AND--I found several errors in the data Boss gave me and corrected it while still making it appear to be my fault, even though we both knew she was the one who put that data together. Overheard Boss tell her boss (UberBoss) that she hoped whoever they hire

Reply to The Fortune Cookie in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

I knew this very loving, very Christian family who, coming back from Hong Kong, grabbed two bags of fortune cookies at the airport. When they got home, they gave a bag to their pastor (a Chinese guy, I think). The fortunes were in English and that night when they opened their own bag, they realized they'd grabbed bags of x-rated fortunes. Regarding cynics, of which I count myself

I dunno, Gid; the thing that kept me from dating losers was my parents always telling me to make sure I dated/married men who worked hard and respected their mothers. That and having self-esteem are probably what kept me sane throughout the dating years. most men tell a lot of lies, especially to get a girl to have sex w

Frankly, I wish we could educate the stupid public. At Michael Jackson's court appearances, there have been demonstrators/fans of his who are POSITIVE that he's done nothing wrong. The thing is, they don't really know--no one except the people involved in any alleged incident knows (Scott Peterson, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jackson, and their accusers...etc.). People should not be making up their minds until a court has convicted one way or another--it's da

I don't think gender should matter. One of the good things the show pretty much kept throughout its 10 years was the individuality of the characters. I'm just incensed that I have anything in common with Joey. Blech. Maybe the gender question is just for the first, i.e. I might've gotten Chandler first if I'd marked "male" but my answers had been the same....? I don't care enough to check it. <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIG

Hmm. Well, Gwen is more ... I can't think up the right word ... like, iconic? Faith Hill is just pretty in the "I'm blonde and I'm pretty" sort of way. Gwen has more flair, maybe ("I don't really like to talk about my flair" --J. Anniston, "Office Space"). I will say, though, that I admire stars with imperfections, and Faith's ears are a little prominent. But really, I could beat 'em both (beat 'em up, that is--I wasn't a whitewater

I say "y'all" and I'm from the Northwest. It's just handier than saying "you all" or "everyone" and it has a gentler style, i.e. "Did y'all hear that?" vs. "Did everyone hear that?" I do, however, listen to country. Stupid ex-boyfriend got me to like this one song, then months later I was locked in a house over a long weekend with nothing but a country station on the radio.... *sigh* H knows that the only man I'd leave him for is Tim

I'd just like to clarify, I am *not* the type who yells "yee haw." In fact, those are probably the only two times in my life you'll ever hear me utter those words. "Couldjawouldjaaint'chagonnaifIaskedyawouldyouwannabemybabytonight" "Couldya, wouldya, aint'cha gonna, if I asked you, would you wanna be my baby tonight?" I think that's the longest country music title in history. But that's without the google check. Sorry c}:-<(

Dear Madame X and Madame Y, Yes. I *can* hear you when you talk about me. The fact that my cubicle is about five feet from yours should give you some kind of clue.
