Reply to Woman Charged With Murder? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Parents who refuse chemotherapy for their children with luekemenia are charged with child neglect. Doctors have the right to complain to the police if family member's refuse to allow necessary treatment for children. I suspect that the mother was afraid of anesthesia and that is why she refused. She probably won't be found guilty to murder but something else. As far as her child was concerned, the mother was wrong, but if she is terrified of surger

Reply to Individualism Clarified in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

I can see why Anathema needs help to understand this. I don't think I took enough philosophy to understand this exactly. I just intuitively know that the common good makes life better for everyone, and that is what I believe in. Sherye

Reply to Books and Kids in Books JoeUser Forums

Ask your librarian. Try all the Dr. Seus books, they are easy to read because they rhyme. I loved Winnie the Pooh because there is adult humor mixed in there. Ask your children's librarian, they really know children's books. Try some non fiction books, too. My son's favorite books were the Charlie Brown Encyclopedia, now outdated. The American Girl series are good for six year old girls, too. You can also read chapter books, one chapter a night.

Reply to The Creation of Welfare Dependency in Politics JoeUser Forums

Some U.S. tribes have managed to get out of the welfare trap. Casinos helped some and hurt others, but the choctaws developed industry. I'm not sure how they are doing now, but they were doing well for a while. There is a tribe I read about, whose name I don't remember who stopped drinking as a tribe. I haven't heard how they've done either. I think in order for native/aboriginal peoples to escape the welfare trap, they need to find something to s

Reply to To Heck With the Food Stamps, I'm Mad about the Manicures! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I wasn't pointing fingers--i was just pointing out that the abusers are obvious. I hate paying for the inflated salaries of corporate executives also, but since they aren't government programs who can I complain to?

Reply to To Heck With the Food Stamps, I'm Mad about the Manicures! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

These women are very visible. Less visible are the ones who do not have fancy nails, cars, etc. They are also getting public assistance. They go to church, they work as much as they can. Some of them are disabled or mentally ill. It is easy to target the abusers, but the majority of women do not abuse the system. They were abandoned by their husbands or left abusive relationships. They do not have families who can or will help them. Before you

My prayers will be with you. It is frightening because there is always a possibility of cancer. I was lucky I had two lumps but neither of them were cancer.

Reply to Another Lonely Day... in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Giving your total self to someone and then losing her love, does hurt for a long time. Next time you'll be more cautious and hopefully will find someone with whom you can stay with for a long time. Fortunately for me, I met someone who I could commit to for life and he to me. It sure takes the hurt out of loving someone. It isn't easy though. Life is never easy.

Reply to Christianity is a Lifestyle in Religion JoeUser Forums

Trent, I believe that your friend has something wrong with him, psychologically. I also don't think he has any awareness of true faith. He is just parrotin what he has learned. You on the other hand know a lot more than he does. It is hard being a Christian in one sense. You have to live with the paradox of free will and God's love. Thus you live in an unfair and unjust world. It is easier to believe that it is an accident, then you don't have t

Well written review. I didn't see matrix and this isn't my kind of film--but you wrote well enough so that I finished the article.

Reply to Sweet Baby James, Tell Me About The Good Old Days in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

This is a great article--but you need to break up the first paragraph. It is very hard to read on the internet. I don't know of all the people you are writing about, but I did like soul music. I never took to disco or rap. Right now all music is noise. I'll check out Norah Jones.

Waist long hair is rarely attractive--but it is an accomplishment to let it grow that long. Get it cut to half way down your back, then get a spiral perm. Both of these options are temporary. Then in six months you can do something else. Let brunettes be brunette. Natural blonde hair doesn't dye very well. It will probably darken with age. Get the best stylist you can and be prepared to pay a fortune. Get your picture taken when your

Reply to Terrorist Attack In Spain in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I agree that such acts are despicable, but our reaction must be wise. Rather than going for their leaders, we must seek them out for punishment and we must take away their motives. There has not been another Columbine for years, before that there was one every spring. Although these are different people, it is possible to change the situation, so that this form of terrorism is no longer effective. Those who fight with the sword, die with the sword.

Do the search, find out about their medical history and then have the kind of relationship with them that you want. You have no obligations to any of them. If its a good thing--if you like them and they like you, then you have a second family. If you don't like them, then you know and can leave them out of your life. Sometimes it helps to know where you came from.
