Hope the hubby isn't too upset about that... hehe What H doesn't know won't....oh, never mind. We both have blogs but seldom read each other's. All the same, I'd never write anything I wouldn't want him to read. I've also just re
I believe you. Just went to dinner with SIL (sister-in-law) and didn't hear one pleasant thing for two hours. Also didn't hear anything other than stuff about her. Grr.
Jotter, You hit on something I've been thinking for awhile. I'm agnostic, btw. Raised Christian. Anyway, the way I see it, some sort of a God or gods is/are fundamental to all cultures, so that, if anything, makes me keep looking. But I'm not sure yet. Worse, I don't know what it would take to get me back. So I feel some kinship to what you're saying. BTW, SDA isn't the religion in which you were raised, was it? -A.
I had a dream about this article last night. I dreamed (dreamt) that someone got on me for being an "American asshole" because I said (Unless it's me. Then it's all good.) and saying that I personified American stupidity, blah blah blah. Some dream people just don't get sarcasm. So.
Yay. Yet more excuses for Americans to not take responsibility for themselves. (Whoops, sorry, tripped over my soapbox there....)
Bah. This story, I'll agree, is David and Goliath, but when other people are speeding and get off on technicalities, then I think that's ridiculous. (Unless it's me. Then it's all good.)
Dreamers are just fine when paired with doers, and as long as both sides can communicate on a level above judgemental whining or bitching....
*thinks up bad joke* So William Hung is well? He's well, Hung? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I'm dumb,
Muggaz, the U.S. just likes to play in the mud. That's all I can figure out. :/
Yeah, CassMan, you better keep blogging 'cause otherwise I'm going to add another chink in my wall of bloggers I've brought down by killing their threads (or whatever it is...bad karma, maybe). Muggaz, I see you on Tuesday.
Historyishere, I won't try to fathom that mess, but I would say that I'm not proposing a Kurdish nation, per se; just an Iraqi Kurdish state. Thanks for the clarification, though.
Wow, Muggaz, you're pretty. Just like I pictured. Welcome, CassMan.
Well, although I suppose they could invade, I'm not sure why Turkey should try to regulate other countries' decisions, though from an international union point of view that would definitely be sticky.
Hah.
Hmm. The idea about conversations you hear doesn't ring true to me. My friends and I discuss world poltiics all the time, though that will vary from person to person depending on the type of friends they surround themselves with. And I was just at Starbucks this a.m. and heard people talking about the presidential election.... At the same time, I think point #2 needs to be addressed pronto.
Muggaz, FINE. I'll go sulk on my own blog. Er, yeah, sorry for the hijack, Gid. FWIW I do read the new blogs your promote, so ... [token attempt at getting back on the thread fails miserably .
I don't claim to be any expert on foreign policy but it would seem that violence is perpetuated by political lines being drawn which encompass opposing factions. (Feel free to say "Duh.") For example: Israel/Palestine and the Gaza strip Chechnya and Russia Hutus/Tutsis in Rwanda and Burundi Shiites/Kurds/Sunnis in Iraq It woul
Yeah. Maybe I'm scary. Or stupid, and the new bloggers (heh, typed "bloogers") think, "What a dumbass. I don't want to be part of this site." Damn. Maybe I should just leave. *sulks in corner*
Funny I came across this. I was just thinking about how I try to comment on new blogs but, later on, never seem to hear from them. But hey, good on ya for the ones you're promoting. I'll keep trying, too.
I can't believe the media picks up stories like these. Sheesh. As for the border, blech. This confirms my suspician that the American patrol guards are way more annoying than the Canadians. My Canadian friends say the same thing.
When did the good ol' days of presidential respect end? Was it when Nixon resigned? Or did they ever even exist? Harumph. Re: Al Franken, I loved the interview with O'Reilly on NPR after Franken's interview, when O'Reilly got all mad and walked out 'cause Terri/e/y Gross had interviewed Franken much more lightheartedly and O'Reilly thought it was liberal bias.
Well, the lawsuit part has been settled, though I'm afraid some lawyers might've been paid. Link This is probably the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. I love it. Apparently the Guthrie song is actually in public domain now, ha ha. Anyway. Great stuff.</font
I's just trying to get rid of that damned blinking post by posting more articles above it. Guess I can go delete my superfluous article now. I love BJD, too. I love clever literature--Helen Fielding, Peter Mayle, the other one who wrote "Mr. Maybe" --maybe it's an Anglo thing. Funny you should lend it to a pregnant friend. I lent it to my sister when she was pregnant an
Words to live by, Geeze. Wish we could have a virtual JU Poker tournament....I've got pocket aces, how about you?
Heh, isn't this the poem in Bridget Jones' Diary: The Edge of Reason that she memorizes whilst imprisoned in Thailand? Or are you trying to do what I am, too?
