The Vanity vs philanthropy is the antithesis of liberalism. For in that, it is not the results that count, but the intention. While Oprah's actions are not the intentions, but the result. That is why they are trashing her. She is basically backhanding liberals. For crying out loud, how did this become a liberal/conservative thing? Why must
But I will also suggest that those non-military life-or-death, self-sacrificing for the good of others type careers are not "civilian" I think I agree with you, then.
Personally, I don't think anything good can come out of comparing people's sacrifices. It just feels icky to me. I just can't equate the service of a civilian to the service of someone serving in combat. The nature of the contribution is so different that I almost find it offensive to try to compare the two. TW--In most the majority
Apparently, Oracle did this a while back and the prize was a trip to space.
Thanks for the info, Dr. Guy. I seem to remember someone blogging about this a while back. Jennifer: She's quite the funny lady!
Happy New Year, Maso. I recently followed a link to your music (can't remember who posted it), and you all sound brilliant! I hope that 2007 brings you much success professionally, personally and musically.
kiss the Blarney Stone I have a great photo of me bending over backwards and kissing the Blarney Stone -- and only afterwards did I learn of the locals habit of peeing on it. Yuck!
Well, I certainly had that all wrong. Sort of explains why St. Christopher was ignoring me...though you'd think he could have simply redirected my call. It looks like I'm in desperate need of St. Jude, eh?
Does that mean Adrian got the Christmas care package? I bet by the time the cookies arrived they could have been used as bullets should they ever run out of them. Egads. Here's hoping I have better luck next time -- we bought new cookie sheets so that should do the trick! My mom sent me a package of stuff to include in the Christmas care package so that Adrian could pass out some gifts to anyo
"It appears that St. Christopher is mad at me," I complain to my mother. "How so, dear?" she replies, though it is clear she is only half listening to my latest round of griping. "He's just not listening, or if he is he's pretty poor at this intercession crap." "That's nice, dear." <br /
did not compare a Saint to Satan. Santa Claus and Satan are the same being! If you (or your son) did not intend to compare Santa and Satan--then please explain this line.
KFC: First, let me say that you are completely avoiding the fact that St. Nick is a Catholic Saint and thus part of the traditions of the Catholic Church. The original article talks about Santa (St. Nick) and Satan being the same. You can not honestly tell me that you can't see how this is offensive to some, can you? Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but you've had quite a few people tell you that it is, and you keep coming back with "don't mess with Santa." That's not it--it's don
'll ask again. Nobody seems to give me clear answers on this but I'll ask. When have I put down the CC? I'm not going to search for them all, but you implied that the Catholic Church does not teach the Word of God on Dr. Guy's blog: <TD class="
Trying the image one more time
You can blame no one but yourselves for your attitudes. Your attitudes should not be dictated by your circumstances. You should be kind, loving, considerate to others no matter what is thrown your way. KFC--Just because I disagree with you and find your take on St. Nick to be offensive, does not mean that I am not kind, loving and considerate to
CRAP! Well, since I am honor-bound to disagree with shadesofgrey in all circumstances, I suppose I have to accept that I am wrong about this, lol... If only I had known it was that easy to get you to cave, I'd have tried it a long time ago! Merry Christmas all! I can't get the image to come up, so look here to find it: http://ph
M--I might sound crazy, but I'm pretty sure Socrates is still in your cab with you--in spirit anyway. I'm sorry that such a sucky thing happened, and I echo FS's comments not to blame yourself. Thanks for sharing Socrates with us. Best wishes for a safe journey.
Sorry, As a Catholic (sorry for those who pretend to speak for me), I have never been offended by KFC. As a person, I do not believe as she does, but I respect her beliefs. And you don't speak for all Catholics, either. Personally, I found the article distasteful--especially coming from someone who has repeatedly put down the Catholic church.
I'm so very sorry.
Score. I'm soooooooooooo jealous.
Too bad I am out of chips now I'm sure you could subsitute another kind of chocolate as long as it was sweetened--like a couple cadbury chocolate bars and then a 1/3 that amount of Cadbury Dream (those are the white chocolate ones, right?) That should work--or whatever the equivalent is. I could be wrong, but I think that 1 1/2 cups is
They must be Amish mail carriers these days. Don't disparage the Amish like that, MM. I'm sure they'd get the mail there twice as fast. <TD class="mb-Bo
Against my nature, I have purchased Christmas cards. I only plan to send out seven, but I have only filled out three. I have addressed NONE of the envelopes, and they certainly aren't in the mail. This has taken me three days. Whaddya bet the post office will lose em? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/ju/T_JU/smiles/Wink.gif" border=0 ALIGN="

I like when they ask, "anything combustible, liquid, dangerous,...blah blah blah" This past weekend we mailed a couple packages to folks we know (or know of) in the military overseas. I decided to bake some cookies and they came out less than stellar but still edible. I put them in the packages with a note saying I wouldn't be offended if
