That statement is an oxymoron. How so? OK, I will follow your rules of discussion: You are dumb(>>>>>>). Their parents are of the same race. <BR

No, The culture of the french is not that of the germans. Culture transcends race. It is the real root of the issue. Blacks born in Australia have no more in common with those born in America than do french and Germans. They share a skin color, not a culture. You must be under the weather Dr. Guy, or

Ignore race? That is idiotic. Just plain dumb. Thats like ignoring the fact that 2+2=4, it is not possible, and would not solve anything. It would most likely make matters worse. The only way society progresses at all is a slow and painful process of learning from its mistakes, along with a few catalystic personaliies. Why not just create a 1984 society, Big Brother and all? Let us ignore flavor, identity, passion, and purpose altogether. That sounds l

Reply to Does Copying Music = Stealing? in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

IMHO - this is one example of the artists' being in touch with the true spirit of correct use. I wholeheartedly agree. Indie bands freely send out there music in the knowledge that people will be very willing to download free music, and will draw people to their concerts. One recent example is Harvey D

Reply to Does Copying Music = Stealing? in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

As for the music goes, I personally have downloaded music, so I will definitely have an extreme bias. I understand that it most likely is stealing, and understand the logic behind it. But, as I often do, I frequently become my own Devil's Advocate, asking myself from other sides the questions I would ask others. Where does copyrighting sound end? Will I not be able to recite the Star Spangled Banner without paying a duty to Key or the U.S.? Can I copyw

Fortune favors pretty young women in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

As I sit in my classroom, pondering whatever it is that I forgot I was pondering before, I came to the startling conclusion of how truly blessed some women are. You may be rolling your eyes and wondering why have I not thought of this before, but I assure you, this has come to me many times, just never as solidified as it did today. Some contributing factors: many int

Sonnet 1337 in Pets & Nature JoeUser Forums

Sonnet 1337 The squirrel's nostrils fill with the spring airs As it hops around the greeny grass ground. Squirrels are concerned not with human cares, And find materialism unsound. The squirrel is as happy as can be, As the wind blows in its fur and buckteeth, When it frolics from green gras

A very interesting approach. However, as Joseph Asagai side to the effect of in "A Raisin in the Sun": American women claim to be the most liberated, but they complain the most about it."

Reply to Goodbye, World. in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

As a child still, although legally an adult, it is in my experience I learn most from what my parents do in response to situations that puzzle me or I would feel uncomfortable in. I believe that the fact that you CARE about your son will influence him much more than if you try to restrict mainstream media. I agree that you should teach your son values, and do not voluntarily expose him to harmful ideas or situations, but be aware that he will come in c

I am required to turn in my Senior High School quote this friday, and would really enjoy any reactions or ideas from the JU community. Here is my number one choice, followed by honorable mentions.

Reply to Cindy Sheehan, failed author? in Politics JoeUser Forums

[QUOTE] I sincerely feel for her loss, but she has competely and utterly ruined the memory of her son with her own antics, or at least she has pushed what should be a memory of him trying to be a hero completely away in favor of becoming a grandstanding bitch that has let herself become nothing more than a tool (and I mean tool in more ways than one).[/QUOTE] I agree with you wholeheartedly. I just wanted to make sure that just because she is

Sorry for the double post, sometimes Firefox gets a little buggy with me. I have to disagree with you dharma, even though it is a little hair splitting. I think worship and prostration before God is necessary, my point was that I disagree with people who do not understand why or for what purpose they do so, but follow blindly in pursuit of nothing. Just my opinion. Great topic though.

EXACTLY (again)! There's all this worshiping and prostrating oneself and worrying and fretting.....there's no need for it. Really.

Reply to Cindy Sheehan, failed author? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I agree with Baker. I mean, she lost a son. Some people say "Get over it, he gave his life for something worthwhile." I don't have children (at least I hope not ), but I imagine your child's death to be pretty jarring. No, I don't think she should have taken it this far. But you must try to sympathize with her loss.

I needed someTHING also. The thing I needed *was* to be needed. I also needed to be reassured that there IS something bigger than this. I found that love *is* bigger than this.

How did it change things for you? I thought you were Buddhist? If becoming Buddhist, that is a pretty big change from the uncertainty of the validity/completeness of the Bible. What if the Bible isn't the end of the story? There is no end of the story... We are the end of the story, we are Go

I go to a small Catholic School, and one of my classmates became pregnant, and she was elected to Student Council the year before to serve that year, and the school asked her to step down due to moral issues, which I think is a big load of crap. he current church is, in many ways, far removed from those principals.
