This coming Saturday I have 8 hours of time booked in a great local recording studio to put down five tracks for my band’s first EP. That's absolutely brilliant, Maso. Congrats. Best of luck on Saturday--hope it all runs smoothly for you (what's the equivalent of "break a leg" in the musical world?)<

I can see why some people find it offensive. Really I can. But that said, loads of art is offensive. That's the point of artistic license--you don't have to please everyone. Now the real question is, who is PP trying to reach with this campaign? Because if it is the Catholics who uphold the anti-birth control stance--well, I just don't think this is the way to do it. If it was just another way to call attention to themselves, well then,

TW-It is probably not surprising that I am in agreement with you...though I will also admit that Karma has a point. There are some vicious offenders from the other side as well. Just for interest sake, TW, what is your definition of a Troll? I am thinking there are different definitions being referred to around here.</T

Fish is not vegetarian. If it has a face, it's not vegetarian That's what I figured, but then some of my "veggie" friends eat fish and eggs. I suppose the recipe is for what Gid calls the "semi-vegetarians."

congrats on getting the tickets, tex. I have no doubt that you will love the show. I'll keep my fingers crossed that nothing gets in your way of going...heck, I'd even offer to watch the kids if I were closer. (this might be a good time for me to take a trip to hawaii!)

ah, those chic patties rock. They are really good with BBQ sauce on them. I also like their chic nuggets. I'm a big fan of their cheddar burgers too. I might try the 100% organic hot dogs from Whole Foods. I mainly eat the vegetarian alternative in an attempt to be more health conscious--but the veg

No bake cookies they sound delicious. I think I'll try them next weekend. I'm having a hard time thinking of anything to add. I am usually only cooking for myself, so my meals involve a lot of pre-cooked stuff (I'm a big fan of morning star chik'n (or however they spell it) patties). Though

We don't get a whole lot of commentary on here from the left, but when we do, it is often self parodying. You probably find it "self parodying" because JU is so extremely conservatives that those on the left just don't feel like getting into it day after day. It does, sincerely, get old after a while. The people who do comment then are often on

"Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an unwished-for child, nor think of murdering one before its birth." This, in particular, is an interesting quote. If a women were free--she'd never bear an unwished for child. Right there, that sums up my pro-choice stance. You see, I d

Or even setting up a "tax" that would be used for such research I don't understand. You are suggesting settig up a tax? Huh?

TW--My fingers are crossed for you. I saw them at Madison Square Garden in May and it was definitely worth the price of the ticket. The tickets are only on sale for fan club members right now (I checked, and being an "official" fan costs $40/year), Even that doesn't guarantee you a ticket.

You are correct. However, I think it comes down to getting tied up with disclaimers. If he was politically correct, he could have put disclaimers throughout the piece.

Hey MM, remember that conversation we had on your other thread about people who thought Sharon was evil. And you assumed that because they thought Sharon was evil, they were anti-semitic--extrapolating their thoughts about one person to tar an entire racial/religious group. And I agree, if someone were to tar an entire group by the actions of their leadership, I'd say that would be racist (it wasn't the case in the conversation we were having). <

but I can disagree with such acts, I have the same freedoms as the liberals do, don't I? Of course. You are completely entitled to your opinion.

It's excessively tiring to see people, time and time again, state that opposition to the war is making the US less safe. You aren't any less American if you disagree with having troops in Iraq. You aren't any less American if you vocalize these feelings. In fact, you are utilizing your rights, as an American, to freedom of speech. Would you prefer that these people be silenced? Would you prefer that they not be allowed to speak freely? Be

Sorry about my last answer--it should been to Dr. Guy--I clearly need to read better...Gid, I think we are pretty much in agreement.
